If you're a fan of exceptional eyewear, Black Optical in OKC is a must! I came in specifically to check out their Jacques Marie Mage collection. Black Optical has one of the most impressive JMM selections I've seen. These frames are works of art. Limited runs, impeccable craftsmanship, and each one tells a story. The staff knew the backstory behind almost every piece and were incredibly helpful in guiding me through fits and styles. Black Optical OKC is a must if you're looking for standout frames and a boutique experience with spot on pricing and knowledgeable staff. read more

I am very impressed with Black Optical. I just moved from the Orange County/Los Angeles area and after finding out I need glasses for the first time in my life, I wanted to get something that was funky or edgy and worried that I'd have to drive into Dallas to find what I'm looking for. Luckily a friend suggested I try this place before going on a road trip and I am so glad I did. As soon as I walked in I was welcomed and treated like an instant friend. I explained what I was looking for and Joanna started pulling frames from all over. She has excellent taste and I had a hard time picking just one pair out of all the choices she provided. Everything looked good and she was patient while I face timed a friend for input. I would definitely come back again. It is on the pricy side and they don't take insurance. read more

I live in California and bought my sunglasses on their online website, but their speedy communication is so great that I felt like an in-person customer :) Shipping was insanely fast- my order arrived after two days! I also received a very nice hand written card from Josh which I very much appreciated. Thank you Black Optical, I have been telling my friends about this company and I get so many compliments on my glasses!! Amazing! :) read more

Love the nature of Jacques Marie Mage and how they are micro produced. Even more that they don't stretch themselves to every dealer so when you reach out looking for a style it can be tough yet exciting. Subtract the "tough" part when working with Gary from Black Optical. Him and his team go above and beyond to make it happen and connect folks with the JMMs they desire (when possible of course). Bravo! Look forward to shopping with y'all again read more

Jo gave me excellent service! Replaced my nose piece. Had lots of choices for frames. Will definitely get my next pair here

Although equipped with a variety of sunglasses & frames, the attitude of whoever is running this storefront should probabaly reconsider that purchasing is primarily up to the customer. Received a very disrespectful text message after letting them know I had ordered the frames that THEY were out of & even offered to come in & get them customized at this location to make up for any inconvenience. I really don't appreciate being harassed for not abiding to what the merchants prefer to sell. Other than that, this store describes upholding "local" values very highly, but seems to not care that they overprice their shipped material from all over the nation??? Don't think this place necessarily knows what "local" means in this case. I sincerely hope this store takes into consideration how professionalism should always be demonstrated even when something doesn't go your way, even though they'll probabaly discard this message just because it's not up to their standards. read more

I shopped around for months trying to find the perfect pair of glasses and kept finding myself back at Black Optical. They had several fantastic frames but it was a bit more than I was looking to spend. I finally bit the bullet and got my glasses and I have zero regrets. Best pair of glasses I've ever owned. Ryan was super helpful and seems to have a magic memory-- each time I came in he knew my name and remembered which frames I was interested in and had them pulled from the shelf and ready for me to try on again. Worth the extra money. read more

Ryan is amazing! From the minute I walked in the door he picked the right frames for me. He knows what looks good on each individual. I also love the quality of the frames and the lenses. I have had the same frames for 3 years now and I literally get compliments on them everyday. Not only are they of a a durable quality that last for 3 years but they still look so good that I don't want any other frame. The lenses are the best quality my eyes have ever viewed through. Ryan and everyone at Black Optical is amazing at customer service. I can walk in any time and Ryan will clean and adjust both my regular glasses and my prescription sun glasses. Recently after a year and a half I had the nose piece on my sunglasses break due to wear and tear and they were a metal frame. I took them in to Ryan and the company still had a pair so they just sent a new pair and Ryan switched out the lenses for me at no charge. Now that is worth it! These are the best quality frames and lenses as well as the best quality customer service I have ever received anywhere. I will never get my glasses from anyone but Ryan at Black Optical. I can't express how much it is so worth it. GO TO BLACK OPTICAL. NOW! read more

The best optical store I have ever known. No matter where in the world I travel I always come back to Black Optical. I am really love the layout and selection in their OKC showroom. The customer service is phenomenal and the curated selection of designer eyewear is top notch. Trust me...visit Black Optical or check out their website. Make sure you ask Ryan to tell you a joke. He is awesome. read more

I recently broke a pair of Oliver People's that I had been wearing for the last ten years. Typically, when they broke or wore out, I would buy the same frames and refill the prescription, as they had very much become a part of "who I was." I was aware of Black Optical, but had always assumed they were beyond my price range. I began working with a few people who had some Black Optical frames and found out there was a range of prices that were affordable and super accessible, they also accepted my insurance. The crew over there was very kind and was able to help ease my nervousness in finding something that I could commit the next ten years to, as well as giving me a good look into the company and designers of the frames I'd be purchasing. I'm not much of a "shop local" for local sake type person. I've always been keen to say that if something is good it will stand out. Black Optical definitely stood out. This will definitely be my go to spot for frames from here on out. I seriously can't recommend them enough. read more

I've been going to the OKC store since 2014. I've gotten a couple of pairs of glasses and a pair of sunglasses from there. Top notch customer service with a fantastic selection of high-quality, high-end frames. I trusted them enough to basically make the decisions for me, as I am a horrible glasses picker-outer. I recently moved to Oregon, and lost my very favorite pair of glasses somewhere in the process. They were 6 years old and still going strong. (I'm still sad about it.) I thought about ordering from an online outfit, which seemed to be the easy thing to do since most everything is closed due to COVID-19, but I saw that Black Optical was offering virtual appointments. I scheduled one with Josh. And he is such a rock star. He pulled some frames he thought I'd like, tried them on, and we ended up picking a great pair of Barton Perreira frames. I received my glasses (with prescription lenses) one week after my appointment. Even virtually, Black Optical has the best service. I am forever a customer, no matter where I live. read more

Review per my wife: Over the past 5 years I've bought 3 prescription glasses and 2 sunglasses from Ryan. You won't see these brands at your typical retailer either. He has helped me pick out glasses that complement my face shape and I've been happy with all my purchases. Black Optical has some of the best customer service I've ever experienced. A pair of glasses broke and he replaced them without hesitation. This is the only place I will go to buy glasses. read more

If stellar service and unique selection is your goal, Black Optical is your destination. They don't stock the typical Chanel and D&G glasses; this is high-end hipster. "Sticker-shock" isn't an option, as there are no price tags :) So why would a person be willing to pay, $400-$500 for a pair of glasses? Because they fit, feel great, and look even better. Let me tell you, as an Asian, I'd been on a quest for a pair of sunglasses that would actually fit my face ( i.e. stay up on my non-existent nose bridge and not sit on my cheeks (other Asians will know exactly what I'm talking about)) for YEARS. I looked into Asian-fit sunglasses (only a few brands actually have a line specific to the Asian makeup), but no stores in OKC carried them, and I got tired of ordering online, only to have to deal with returns. I visited practically every sunglass-specialty, low-end, and high-end optical store in the city, but nobody carried anything that actually "fit" me. "Fit" - as in, you know - Being able to enjoy a neighborhood jog or a round of golf without my sunglasses continually running down my face like water on a windshield? Remembering this place mentioned from a friend who knew the owner, I decided to try one more time... The decor and set up is definitely upscale, but still maintains a welcoming feeling. Ryan greeted me and the hubby - I hurried into my: "wide face, no bridge - Please don't make me try on something that will just bend the frames outwards and make me feel like a freak" spiel and Ryan just smiled and told me no problem. Ryan had me try on several styles (none of which were ill-suited for my facial structure) and through trial-and-error and personal feedback, we hit gold - A pair of pilot-style Salt glasses. He fit the glasses brilliantly - Who knew it was possible to jump about, while whipping your head around like a head-banger and STILL have your sunglasses stay in place? This was joy to the extreme. And the cherry-on-top: sunglasses is not all that Black Optical carries - so when I mentioned I was also in the market for a pair of regular glasses and explained how Lens Crafters (I know - opposite end of the spectrum) had let me down when the one pair of frames that semi-fit we're "too small" for my prescription, Ryan looked at my script, chuckled and told me no problem. My biggest complaint about glasses was that they pinched behind my ears (causing extremely unpleasant headaches) and always slid down my face. Ryan found a darling pair of Mykita frames (you seriously would not believe how lightweight they are), and was able to order me up a pair of crazy-cute, Crizal-lens, glasses. That was a year ago. I went in today to get my Salt glasses readjusted (no expiration on adjustments), and because I now know the enjoyment of a "good" pair of sunglasses, I just had to get another set - Variety is the spice of life, right? ;) If you've EVER had trouble finding the "right" pair of glasses, are looking for top-notch service, and have either money to burn, or good saving-up habits, Black Optical is the store for you. read more

I love this place! My husband and I updated our frames recently and ever since have felt heaps cool. You don't realize how much potential some unique specs have to freshen up your look until you go! Pros: personalized service, stellar selection, just plain FUN Cons: pricey (but worth the splurge if you wear specs often) read more

Black Optical went over and above today in helping me out with the return of a purchase. They worked with me to accommodate my needs even though they did not have to. The manager was very patient and professional. Thank you for your help. If you are in the market for fashion oriented eyewear please go to Black Optical. read more

Ryan was SUPERB the second I walked in. The entire process was effortless, and now I have the most beautiful frames that fit my face perfectly. Of course, it did help that I knew exactly what I wanted going in... However, I actually ended up going with the color that Ryan suggested. He has great taste. So glad this place exists! For high-quality functional fashion, it's SO worth it. read more

Black Optical is the best place to get glasses in OKC. Ryan, the owner, is always so helpful and knows exactly what he is talking about. The glasses are top grade, and there is a wide variety to choose from. Getting a new prescription filled is easy and duty free. The glasses come back quickly and with no hassle. Black Optical is great, and I wouldn't take my business anywhere else. read more

Ryan is so nice and super helpful. He maintains a professional environment but with a casual sense of customer service, he tries to get to know you and your style before suggesting a pair of frames. He provided his honest opinion when asked and was polite and fun. The glasses are expensive but funky and one-of-a-kind. Will DEFINITELY be back for my next pair! read more

Absolutely phenomenal optical boutique!! Gorgeous layout, incredible staff (Ryan and Josh are about as good as it gets when it comes to picking out the perfect frames) and seriously amazing customer service. The minute you walk in you're treated like you're an old friend and you know you're in good hands. I'll admit to be a bit of an eyewear nerd/addict/collector/etc and I've been to a ton of great stores across the US but, between the staff, service, and their selection of amazingly unique high-end independent eyewear, these guys stand out like very few others. I can honestly say that this is the one and only place I will ever go to when I'm in OKC. You should check it out! read more

I read great reviews about the store and went and visited while in town (live in Dallas). Sure enough Ryan asked a lot of questions, and listened to me explain my ideal situation: no Chinese made frames (turns out they don't carry any), I was a value buyer (I know this is a high end store) but said my budget was in the $3xx range, explained the look I thought I wanted. Within minutes he had 6 great frames for me to try on and explained why he choose them. He suggested taking photos of me with them on and then we would sort out the winners. He did such a great job and with his deep inventory I bought two frames one for regular and one for sunglasses. I have no regrets for stopping in! read more

I have been going to Black Optical for the past 5 years and have always gotten exceptional service. I know I can go in and get honest feedback on frames and lens. They have special ordered glasses for me several times and have been able to get every pair I wanted. Ryan is amazing at helping choose glasses and picking frames that work for your style and face. I recommend Black Optical to all my friends and family. read more

There are soooo many ways to obtain a pair of fine spectacles these days. I live near Classen Curve and drove past Black Optical a million times (ok, perhaps a few thousand times.) I was reluctant to stop in and only did so to "window shop". Here is the deal: Ryan is a badass. He made me feel completely at home in a swanky joint that could easily have been dismissed by me. Ryan simply popped a few frames on the counter (I am guessing there was a method to this madness) and viola. I fell in love with the frames, spent more than I usually would. Ryan introduced me to brands I had never heard of. Oh yeah, he also provided me with his personal take on places to visit/eat/stay in Italy (my first upcoming trip.) Specs are great, I will not shop anywhere else. Thank you Ryan. read more

The best place to buy glasses, EVER! From the friendly staff, to the endless options. I'll never buy glasses anywhere else! Ryan helps you pick the perfect frame for your face and wouldn't steer you wrong! read more
