A year or two ago, I bought two pairs of eyeglasses from the Visionworks on Mineral Spring Avenue…read morein North Providence. The glasses were exactly the same frames and lenses. Somehow I lost one of them, so I ordered the same exact glasses again. I went for my appointment and had my vision checked by a personable young man who knows everything about eyes, vision, and eye glasses. He was very nice and explained everything clearly. A few days later, I received a phone call that my new glasses were ready. I went right up there and picked them up. A gentleman waited on me, and he was wonderful ... very polite! He asked if I thought everything was okay and if I had any questions. I am very pleased with my new glasses. The only suggestion I have for Visionworks North Providence is this: There are several young women who work there and they are not personable. No eye contact. No greeting. They need to buck up because they are professionally employed but they don't look or act the part. Their behavior won't stop me from going to this Visionworks location. I will, however, say this: As a business professor, their demeanor is going to hold them back from being successful in a professional employment setting.

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!!

They gave me prescriptions for an eye condition that seriously needs to be treated or I would lose eye sight and yet they never bother to work with the insurance to obtain approval for that drug forcing me to see another doctor so I can get treated. Last time they gave me a new prescription (I have stigmatism) that I could not wear. When I look at a square object it becomes so distorted that it is almost a diamond. I brought the glasses back and talk to the manager and they could not do anything. The facility is nice and that's probably the only good thing about it

I called in the morning and asked for an appointment, because I was seeing a really big floater in…read moremy right eye and since I am very nearsighted, I wanted to make sure that it was just a floater and nothing serious. I was told that they don't have any availability and the next appointment would be in 4 months. All they could do was write down my number and call me in case of a cancellation (they never called). Luckily, I called another ophthalmologist practice and the receptionist there knew that a big floater combined with heavy nearsightedness could be something serious, so she gave me an appointment within an hour. It turned out it wasn't a floater, but a tear in my retina and I needed emergency laser surgery that same afternoon. I was told it that it was a good thing that I came in that same day, because had I waited any longer it could have turned into a detached retina. I cannot fathom how an ophthalmologist practice does not know that a big floater in very nearsighted people can mean a retinal tear or detachment and therefore is considered an emergency. I have never encountered a medical practice that did not make availability for emergencies or at least told the patient calling with such urgent symptoms to seek medical help elsewhere that same day. Maybe it was for the best that this office didn't have any availability for me, I have serious doubts now about their competency.

Upon return I was 5-10 mins late due to attempting to locating parking, just to be told SORRY but you're too late for your appointment and the next appointment is within the next 10mins. NO empathy to attempt to reschedule the appointment and the feeling of not wanting me to be there. I kindly said ok no worries I locate services elsewhere. Found it LENS CRAFTERS from a google search that I did not know existed and not only was there parking, I was able to walk in and be seen that day even though the lobby was full of patrons.

The shop is beautiful- very modern, very tidy, ever so tasteful and the selection is vast! Garrett and Max helped me and were excellent! Clearly Garrett absolutely loves what he does. Buying glasses has, for me, always been torture. I have a very thin face and really struggle finding anything small enough. And I like very plain, very subtle, very classic frames. When I explained this, these two gentlemen culled their collections and provided me with close to a dozen choices. I was flabbergasted! And once I tried them all, I still found I had several choices - any of which I would have been pleased with. They were extremely helpful, kind, polite and really funny as well, and I thoroughly enjoyed the experience. The price is not cheap, but I believe you get what you pay for. When I received a text letting me know my glasses were ready, I arrived fully anticipating several adjustments. Max got the glasses and I put them on- perfection! Not a single adjustment was necessary! And the lenses are incredible. The crispness of my vision is almost beyond description! This is a wonderful eyewear boutique! Go there! For me, this was the most pleasant experience buying glasses I have ever had! Kudos to both Garrett and Max for being just outstanding! Thank you for a wonderful experience. You two are awesome!
