This is the kind of eyeglass store that Tyler Brûlé of Monocle would shop at. Every single pair is…read moreoriginal and stylish and made in small batches by some super indie company in Europe. And besides that, the shop itself is sharp with its teak display cases, wall of vintage mirrors and vintage Scandinavian couch. In a word: hip. I don't wear glasses and already have a pair of sunglasses that I worship but for my husband's birthday this year he asked for his first pair of sunglasses ever. We actually wound up here by convenience sake only. We had only two hours to shop for his present before the little ones needed to get fed/napped/changed and this was the first shop we went to while heading towards Republique. And it was the last because he found the absolute coolest pair of sunglasses on earth here after trying on a half dozen pair. The glasses were a bit of a splurge at 200E but they are unbelievably beautiful and they make him feel like a million bucks, so well worth it!

Horrific customer service experience buying prescription glasses on multiple levels…read more I spent over $767 US on one pair of progressive lens and frames. They took over a month to be shipped to me, we're in a damaged box and tossed into the middle of the driveway by Fed Ex (who sends $800 worth of glasses with no signature required?). Worst of all the lens are totally wrong and unwearable. All for $767! I was totally scammed. Especially since the Jimmy Fairly website clearly states that prescription lenses are complimentary. The 'customer service' WhatsApp line has been dismissive and provided zero help as the only solution they offered was for me to stop by when in Paris next. I enailed 'wecare@jimmyfairly.com' and haven't heard back. I now have to spend an additional several hindered dollars with my local LA optometrist to get proper lenses made.

My first experience with AV was Year 2016...and I've never gotten so many compliments on a pair of…read moreeye glasses in my life! I absolutely adore them. The TSO technician told me about 15-20 years ago (can't remember how long ago really) that AV's son had come into this TSO store all disheveled from traveling about door to door all day pursuing businesses. The original doctor of this TSO location (since retired) loved the frames and said yes! Some background info told to me by my eye tech... The son told the doctor how the Valentin frames came about being made by his father; who I shall refer to as the creative genius of artsy frames!!! It was because his wife wasn't satisfied and didn't like any of the eyeglass frames being sold in Paris at the time...so Mr. Valentin (genius mastermind and engineer I think) got to work. But, because his frames were so unique and out of the box...made out of resin for instance...the son had a hard time getting eye doctors to agree to display and sell them. And so because this TSO doctor on a small Texas island near the Gulf of Mexico ocean...in Galveston said YES...I have a fabulous pair of specticals that I adore! Shop TSO! This location has the best selection of frames I've ever seen.

The shopowner was very unfriendly and rude. She claimed the glasses I bought were of very poor quality and she isn't surprised they lasted for several weeks only.

I went in today hoping to look at and maybe purchase a pair or two of new French made eyeglass frames. The owner and his wife were super friendly and showed me a few styles of frames. They told me that the pairs I was looking at were handmade in their basement and one of a kind designs that the wife, Claudine designed and the husband, Jack made. He then offered me a special discount if I purchased more than one pair. At the end, I paid $700 Euro for 2 pair (see attached pics). Before leaving, they had asked me to write a review of my great experience and had me scan a QR code to write a review, which I did. After writing the review, I read some of the other reviews and noticed one person said he had been lied to by this shop when they told him they had hand made his frame as well. That prompted me to look closer at my purchases, all to find out neither of mine were hand made and were in fact a brand from Italy and another from somewhere else in France. Additionally, the pair I paid over 300 Euro for, were available by the real manufacturer, Unseen Eyewear, for 159,00 euro. This was such as shame as had they just been honest, I probably would have still purchased them, or at least one of them. Instead, they are dishonest and left me with the need to share my experience with other potential customers. Buyer beware!!

I was interested in custom made frames, but completely put off by the price at the most famous of…read moreshops. By sheer accident I stumbled across Optik by Michele B. What a FANTASTIC experience. FIrst of all, Michele is a real artisan. And a delight to work with. She knows what she's doing, can be of great assistance in make choices both for the design, and ultimately the materials that will work well with both the shape of your face and your own sense of style. And --- they are flexible, attentive, efficient. I can't say enough positive things about the experience. These are custom made frames. She has a good selection of "off-the-rack" ones as well, but it is really the custom made stuff that sets them apart. They have everything from bone, to tortoise shell, and literally thousands of variations of acetate frames. The choice would be overwhelming were it not for Michele's ability to guide you through the selection process. I've been wearing glasses for nearly 60 years. This is the very first time that friends remark not just that I have new frames, but how distinctive, stylish, attractive, and appropriate they are. I bought the frames on a trip to Paris. Unlike others who do fittings in Paris and then ship the measurements off to elsewhere, Michele does all of the work on site. That meant that I could have my glasses three days after walking in to her shop - not three weeks later. It made the entire process compatible with a short trip to Paris. In may case, I decided to have the lenses cut and installed when I got back to the US. No problem at all. Michele installed clear lenses, and when I got hope they made the swap. Her prices are comparable to the cost of frames in many of our local optical shops. But the quality, fit, finish and style are worlds better. If I could give this shop 10 stars I would.
