Update: See Eyewear is gearing up for their opening on Wednesday, June 11th.
SEE Eyewear, which markets itself as "hip without the rip", will be opening a location at 160 Smith Street. The chain operates stores nationwide and already has three locations in Manhattan. This will be its first in Brooklyn.
