I came to Doyle after having been given the run-around by Sunglasses Hut (where I purchased my boyfriend's Ray Bans) and Luxottica corporate. Neither were able to repair a broken temple screw. I walked into Doyle without an appointment and although 4 people stood ahead of me in line, Sean quickly served his customers with satisfaction. I explained I hadn't purchased the glasses at Doyle and that did not matter to him. He fixed them in just a few minutes and thanked me for coming in. No charge. I don't have a need for prescription glasses, but I will purchase all of my future sunglasses from Doyle and highly recommend others to patronize the store. read more

Living in Arizona now, won't go anywhere else. Broke my 10 year old glasses, Mailed them to Scott, and Scott replaced the frame at much less than I expected! And turned them around fast. 1 week from when I mailed, had them back and wearing them. He is great!! read more

Outstanding service and prices. Great for repairs. Long time Winnetka staple as well.

I'd been to 6 eyeglass shops in Evanston, Skokie and Wilmette before discovering Doyle Opticians in Winnetka, where I found frames that I liked. I dealt directly with Shawn, the owner, and really liked his candor and expertise. On the day I stopped in, new customers were being given a 20% discount, which made my decision pretty easy. Nine days later, I'm wearing my new glasses and I'm completely happy with them. Like so many other people here on Yelp, I highly recommend Doyle in Winnetka. read more

Forget for a moment the idea of supporting our local businesses (which I think everyone should do), Doyle Opticians is the place to go for exceptional value and over the top knowledge and service. I broke a pair of glasses I needed the next day for a golf tournament I was playing in. Without me asking, they said "no problem, we will drive the new lenses up to the lab in Wisconsin so you can have them tomorrow". Who else does that? I've used LensCrafters and America's Best in the past thinking they would be better priced, they weren't. Doyle's the guy on the North Shore. read more

First time here love the family owned places they give the best service on top of your very need. Prices are great read more

Doyle Opticians - Wall of any kind of glasses you'll ever need - Eyewear & Opticians Near Me - Winnetka, Illinois

I've always been a fan of Serengeti. I think they have the best sunglass lense technology out there. I'm also a big fan of motorcycle riding. Serengeti frames, for me, don't offer the best for wind protection when riding. I came across Doyle Optical in a search on Serengeti's website for an authorized retailer. I told Shawn what I wanted in a riding prescription sunglass. He showed me the Liberty Sport frames and they fit like a glove. He then told me he would be able to put on prescription Serengeti lenses for the ultimate riding sunglasses. I gave him my prescription and I had my glasses within a week! You would think that this tailor-made customization would cost an arm and a leg! - NOT! I paid way less than what I thought I was going to spend. Now I could get a pair for my car. Sean is truly an expert in his craft and understands - and more importantly, listens to his clients needs to figure out the best solution. They wrap around my head perfectly. The prescription is even compensated for the curvature of the lense so objects don't seem out of whack when I look to the sides. I passed up a Pearl Vision and Lensecrafters to go 10 miles farther for Doyle Opticians. You should too. Much better service and way better prices. read more

Doyle Opticians - Best riding glasses - Eyewear & Opticians Near Me - Winnetka, Illinois

Went there on Saturday from a recommendation. Spoke with Shawn he helped me with new glasses and another set of lenses for my other glasses. He was really helpful and knowledgeable about eye wear. They had a huge selection of frames. Ive been going to chain eye care places for years, not anymore I'll be coming back here from now on. They treated me great and I ended up buying a couple of new pair of glasses. Told my wife this is where she needs to come for her next pair of glasses. read more

Mr. Doyle helped me salvage lenses from two expensive pairs of glasses that other opticians told me they couldn't do anything with. He made me two new pairs of glasses in just a couple of hours for incredibly good prices. I highly recommend his services read more

When I got a new prescription a couple of weeks ago, I decided to take a family member's recommendation and give Doyle Opticians a try. I'm very glad that I did. It has been a long time since I have had service this personalized and dealt with a provider whose interest was this sincere. I had plenty of opportunity to learn about Doyle because my transaction was not a straightforward one. When I tried on the first glasses that were made for me by Doyle, I knew immediately something was not right. They were clear enough, but I was seeing everything on a diagonal, and felt as if I was about to go crosseyed. It turns out that there'd been a transcription error at my ophthalmologist's office, with the result being that the prescription they gave me was not correct. So, although the glasses were made to the prescription I presented, I could not see out of them. The folks at Doyle immediately volunteered to call my eye doctor to sort out the problem and, after getting a corrected prescription, quickly ordered new lenses--at no cost to me. Right now I am wearing the glasses made with the corrected prescription, and they're awesome: lightweight, comfortable and allowing me razor-sharp vision. This great experience would still not be truly great for me, a cheapskate at heart, if this high level of attention and service also came with a high price tag. Luckily, it does not! I paid less at Doyle than I did a couple of years ago at LensCrafters, and far, far less than I did at the last "boutique" optician I patronized. I'd recommend that anybody in need of eyeglasses check out Doyle Opticians, as I think you will be pleasantly surprised by the level of service, attention and price. read more

I worked with Shawn the owner when I stopped in looking for new sunglasses. Shawn helped me pick out quite possibly the most perfect set of frames I have ever had. I have been wearing glasses for over 20 years and have never really found a set that i was 100% happy with. Until Now. His customer service is outstanding, his pride in his product is unmatched. If you're glasses are not up to his specifications or yours, they will take care of it! Prices here are way better then shopping at any of the big name companies. I traveled over 16 miles to come here passing who knows how many people that sold glasses. I will never go anywhere else again. read more

If you need to purchase or repair sunglasses, this is the place to go. They will order you sunglasses that they do not carry at the same price you can find them online (without shipping!) and are very upfront about repair prices. The staff is friendly and is always willing to help regardless of what the issue is. I highly recommend! read more

I was amazed at the level of service provided by Sean. The shop has a great selection of glasses. Sean really helped pick a frame out that fits my head. My head is the size of a good sized pumpkin so finding a nice frame is not easy. Sean also removed an old film on my current glasses and it was like night and day. my new glasses arrived and the fit and quality is amazing. I have had three complimants on my glasses in the first day. if you need new eye wear rush over and enjoy 5 star quality read more

Wonderful staff, very caring and knowledgable! Can't wait to go back once my vision insurance kicks in to get my new lenses. They don't make small businesses like this anymore, definitely giving all customers a fair shake. read more

Family owned, and wonderfully thoughtful and conscientious. Really, such a gem for Winnetka.

I had forgotten my glasses on a trip to Wilmette, and Sean fixed me up in just a half hour with great frames and perfect lenses! Great price, too! Saved me! I recommend to everyone. read more

I have purchased glasses from a number of places over many many years and no other optician provides this level of service - truly a professional and a pleasure to work with. I recommend them to everyone. I just had them replace a number of lenses with an updated prescription and the cost, timing and service was unbeatable. They also have a great selection of frames. A+ read more

Without a doubt, the very best opticians on the North Shore, perhaps in all of Chicagoland. Family owned since forever in Winnetka, Doyle Opticians go above and beyond excellent service. It is so rare nowadays to find businesses that truly cares about their customers and take pride in their work and their reputation. I particularly love the feeling one has of being able to trust Doyle Opticians with something as vital as our vision. read more

Selection of eyewear is outstanding -- current styles and well-known, highly regarded brands. Service is excellent -- helpful and low key, no big sales pitch. Will shop here again soon. read more

Since I usually go to corporate operations for my Eyewear needs, I did not know what to expect from a family owned Eyewear facility. I was beyond impressed! Upon entering the building, I was warmly greeted by the owner, and he immediately assisted me with finding the perfect frames. He was genuinely helpful, and seemed to know exactly which frames would be a great fit. They had a wide variety of frames to choose from, as well as sunglasses, including many gorgeous, designer brands. I also usually get my contact lenses from 1-800 contacts, which I thought were the cheapest, but I was wrong. Doyle Opticians Winnetka is the only place I will go to get my glasses and contacts from. Their knowledge of the proper form and fit was unreal, and their prices were unbeatable from the get go. I cannot brag about this place enough, and I would highly recommend them! read more

I was referred to Doyle Opticians from my Optometrist. They had given me 2 recommendations and I tried the other first due to it being closer. I left the first place disappointed in the selection and service. I then immediately drove to Doyle and was greeted by a really nice man who turned out to be Doyle himself! I usually wear contacts but due to dry eye have had to start wearing glasses occasionally. Doyle went above and beyond to find the right frames for my really high prescription. I am really sensitive about how they look having worn glasses since I was a young child. They ordered in a couple frames in my preferred color for me to see. When I went to try them on, I still wasn't sure so Shawn let me borrow the frames to take home and try them on to get a feel of which one I liked better. Now that's service! I knew I would do business with them for sure so I had Shawn order the lenses. I went back with the frames and my glasses were ready in an hour. Doyle made sure they fit my face properly and again, went above and beyond to explain my prescription to me. These guys are fantastic and really understand what personal customer service is. I would highly recommend them and will for sure be back. read more

I've been going here for about four years for my daughter and myself. We've both been very happy. Service is good and the prices are good.

I want to highly recommend Doyle Opticians. I went to LensCrafters one evening to have very basic lenses put into my daughter's glasses and needed a fast turnaround. I brought her frames, and I was quoted $245 for the lenses. For that price, I decided I would much prefer to support the local, family owned store in my town, Doyle Opticians. As it turns out, their price which included some of the bells and whistles we had hoped for was approximately 1/3 of the price of LenseCrafters, and they had her glasses done within an hour. The service was fabulous and the price was amazing. read more

Everything said in other reviews about this place is true. I bought a pair of glasses and the prescription was wrong. Doyle had filled it correctly, but the doctor wrote down the wrong numbers. I went back to the doctor and got the corrected prescription. Doyle replaced the lenses and would not charge me for the fix. It wasn't Doyle's fault, wasn't my fault, but they still fixed it for free. I love this place! read more

I changed to Doyle about 5 years ago. they have done a fantastic job since then. i am a bit of a klutz, and frequently require repairs to my glasses, including the time the dog chewed them. each time they have done the repair and the wont charge me even when i try to pay them. They get to know you quickly and always give you quick and personalized service, even to the extent or staying open late so that i could come by after work. read more

These people are great! Have been going to them for years and have had nothing but very positive experiences. One of the best.
