I had an excellent world class service experience at this location . I needed some lenses replacement for some frames, all the places I’ve been too the delay was long and it seemed like a complicated process . I saw the store and randomly walked in. Dresen did them on the spot, and the work was impeccable. The staff was friendly and professional . I would recommend this place x1000000

Got a second pair of glasses here for my little kid. It's a great value, and she loves being able to choose the colors for her front, arms, and pins! I really appreciate the optician who's been helping us, not only did she manage to fit the glasses snug for my kid's tiny head, she is so patient with us trying on lots of colors, and customizing them so my kid could see how the front and sides would look together. Icing on the cake was discovering some limited run irridescent arms which aren't online, and my kid was so, so happy. Thank you so much, I'm so happy we found you guys.

Amazing glasses, they are simpler, tighter ray band look. Low price, keep it simple, look smart and causal. The quality is amazing for recycled plastic, when you see the frames you won't believe that they came from this progress, they look like they used some fancy plastics to craft the frames. The frames have a flat, matte, solid look. very smart looking. They did a prescription for me, I already had the prescription, but they also measured how my eyes sat on my head so they could get the prescription to consider where my lenses would sit in relation to my eyes viewing threw the lens. I got them and they were PERFECT, terminator vision. Highly, highly recommended.

Great experience at Little Italy location. She let me explore the frames and once I picked the colour, helped me to size up properly. After that the whole glasses made right in front of me in 10 minutes. Most importantly I love my glasses!

Great people, great prices. Dr. Andrew Attardo is an extremely conscientious and thorough optometrist, and he took time to explain what he was doing. Left confident my eyes are in good hands.
