My partner needed an eye exam and new frames, so we headed over to Bling at Chapel View. The space…read moreis small but don't let that fool you; it's bright, modern, and well laid out, with a solid mix of accessible options alongside some designer names like Chanel, Dior, Cartier, Bvlgari, Prada, and more, all packed into a boutique that feels a lot bigger than it actually is. My partner said the exam was thorough and her new prescription is spot on, so I'll leave it at that. What I can speak to is the frame selection experience, and for that, Calin was genuinely great to work with. He paid attention, noticed which frame colors worked with my partner's skin tone, commented on how different shapes sat with her face, and made the whole process feel personal rather than transactional. She ended up walking out with two pairs, which honestly says it all. It's a family-run business, and that comes through in how they treat you. No pressure, just good people who clearly know their product. If you need glasses in Rhode Island, this is the place.

It's a small comfortable setting on the first floor of # 91. The shop certainly has style and pizzazz! Check out the wallpaper too! (luv it!) The display cases still house the most intriguing styles; classic, contemporary & cosmic. (my opinion solely!) See for yourselves ! I own six very unique frames including a pair of exquisite sunglasses. Yes, my smile brightens and my eyes light up, as frame style compliments are frequently given to me wherever I go. What's not to love???

I LOVE Gregory's Optical - they are beyond AWESOME! I stopped in today (early-mid January 2025) to…read morepick up my brand new Alain Mikli sunnies. They're gorgeous, stylish, handcrafted and totally rockin' my world. Gregory's Optical highly personalized service is bar none - no question about it. These people are professional, knowledgable, friendly, efficient, expedient, low-key (no hard selling tactics here - ever), and, a complete pleasure to deal with. I've patronized their business spanning decades. I first saw them on Thayer Street on the East Side of Providence abutting Brown University. I followed them to Wickenden Street in Foxpoint and now to their newest location at 91 Hope Street. Aside from their outstanding highly personalized client services, I've remained with Gregory's Optical because of their vast selection of excellent quality upscale global brands with outstanding competitive pricing. For a sublime boutique shopping experience for fine prescription eyewear, please visit opticians extraordinaire Michael (proprietor) and Rebecca - who continue the professional experienced traditions and practices started by Michael's Russian-American parents decades ago. While I dearly miss Gregory and Dora, I fully trust Michael and Rebecca to fulfill all my optician services and prescription eyewear needs. They ROCK!!

My new glasses are great, and they were already fit with an old band-aid to fix the crack in that piece across my nose. The eye drops were a trip- they say my pupils were so dilated whatever that means. but they looked a lot like my sister's when she comes home at 6am from these raves she talks about. Well I'm raving too. If it's not cloudy, I can see from Woonsocket to Westerly. Thank God, because I wouldn't want to drive that distance- that's a 4 day trip in RI and 2 hotel stops. Oh, and the offices were easy to find- literally right next to where Benny's used to be....even though really everything is next to where a Benny's used to be. So they said my vision was 20-15, can you believe it! Everyone was impressed but to be honest, I memorized the eye chart from iphone pix I took a few months earlier. Cool huh? Just don't tell them I cheated...or the lawyers of the dog owners whose pug I ran over one morning. Twice. He just wouldn't stay down. Fine. 3 times. But in fairness I lost a rim. They want to take me to court! Right. They'll never find me: I live in Woonsocket and their offices are in Westerly. I also hope they have a good sense of humor- like anyone reading this! ;-) Thanx, Charlie Ha....um just Charlie.

They have cheapo ones, pricey ones, and most importantly to me, lots of good ones in the middle.

I was 10 min early but I got to see the eye doctor 10-15 min pass my appt time, which is pretty normal I guess. The exam is good and I love everything he did because he is quite thorough and he showed me what is what. After the test I was able to go check on glasses, what glasses to get etc and I got a few choices. I decided on one pair and they said to wait 7-10 days but it was about 3 weeks before they gave me my glasses. I have called once a week, and they said no, on the third week when I called they told me it came it earlier but we tried calling and no one answered.. what... anyway good place but not so sure about the glass shop..

It's also the same building where I see my dermatologist and rheumatologist, and about a 15-20 minute walk from where I am, so really a plus. The experience here was pleasant. There was one other person ahead of me so the wait time wasn't bad. Dr. Cesaro here is really awesome, you know he knows what he's doing. This was a nice change from the other place I was going to (I will probably write a review about that later. Long story short, avoid mall optical shops at all costs). The person who had helped me select styles was Mary Ann, who also knows exactly what she's doing and tells you honestly what she thinks works well with a person's face. A breathe of blatant fresh air when you compare that to the sales associate at Lenscrafters that tries to push you to buying something that looks nice without regard to accommodation. Obv, I don't speak for all Lenscrafters, just from the experience I've had. They were nice enough to take notes on the styles that I kept in mind for later visits. I did eventually come back recently to try them on again but decided not to make a purchase. (really the price for what I had choosen was out of my range... $200 for frames, $130 for regular lenses, or $180 for poly carbonate lens which are thinner and less heavier). These were brand name Coach eyeglasses, not a big shocker. As much as I loved them I had to depart from them and call around for better deals. So, all in all great staff here. It would be 4 stars had it not been for steeper price range. Nonetheless great styles if you're willing to pay for the price.

I originally saw Dr. Mills, who was fantastic, funny, personable, and always made sure my eye care needs were fully taken care of. Since his retirement, I've been seeing Dr. Buonaccorsi, and she's just as wonderful. She's thorough, attentive, and always takes the time to answer any questions. One thing that really stands out is how quickly they can get you in for a sick visit if something comes up. That is something that's hard to find these days. The staff is consistently kind and efficient, and appointments run on time. You're in and out without the long waits. This is exactly how a doctor's office should operate. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable, well-run optometry practice.

She said she understood and then took me to a rack to pick out some options that were covered. After sitting back down, she tried to upsell every option to me. I declined them, and then was still met by a $110 quote on my way out. There are signs everywhere saying "no refunds", which did not inspire my confidence in the quality of their craftsmanship. I can get 5 pairs of similar quality glasses online for less money and be met with better customer service with return options, so I'll be doing that. During my short thirty minute visit, the phone was ringing off the hook, calls were going unanswered, and another customer was in the lobby literally crying in frustration over having had such terrible experiences with the office. I had a similar experience with this office last year and will likely be taking my business elsewhere in the future, which is a shame because again, the tech and doctor seemed knowledgeable and efficient.
