Optician Ken Preston opened Xspectical three years ago, fulfilling the life-long Washingtonian's dream of owning a business in the historic neighborhood.

With 30 years experience as an optician, Preston says having his own store is a welcome experience.

“I like to have a more personal touch,” he says. “I like dealing with customers and helping them maintain good eye health.”

Xspectical offers eye exams, eyeglasses, contact lenses and repairs, as well as consultations on Lasik procedures. You can also find a selection of frames to fit your own style.
