Travel changes us. It inspires us, it alters our perceptions, and it leaves its mark on us–from the way we think to the way we dress and see.

The vision of Wanderlust is one of global style. Eyewear is as nuanced as any element of fashion, and here we offer frames that are influenced by their origins–handcrafted, unique, and expertly designed.

The Vision

Wanderlust Eyecare is born of Dr. Faye Gamboa’s two greatest passions: Travel and eye health. Wanderlust is a unique experience, designed to make you feel transported out of our Northfield shop and into the distant places that create the stunning eyewear that can transform your style. There is a world of beauty out there: We want to see it all, and we want to make it a part of us every day.

Let’s see the world together.

Located in the Northfield Village Square, home of local favorites Taco Nano and Happ Inn, there are no shortage of visitors at Wanderlust Eyecare. Owner & Optometrist, Dr. Faye Gamboa, chose the Village of Northfield to open her own private practice after spending a decade in private practices all over the Chicagoland. The practice’s central location in the North Shore gives her patients easy access to their favorite eye doctor and a large collection of handmade eyewear. Stop by and say hi!
