Went to see Karen at The eyeglass Place in Newington. I needed to update the Rx on my shooting…read moreglasses. Although I had originally purchased them online a few years ago, I decided that I wanted to work with someone local, especially an optician who was familiar with shooters. Karen was GREAT. She took the time to dial in the Rx for both pistol shooting and for skeet/trap shooting. I was even able to bring in my pistol to fine-tune the distance (emptied and safety-checked, of course!) We created interchangeable lenses for the two different disciplines. (I have interchangeable lenses for my dominant right eye: one optimized for pistol shooting, focusing on the front sight, and another optimized for distance while shooting clays. The left eye is optimized for distance in both cases.) And I also got separate lens sets for low/flat light and for bright light conditions. Even better, she was able to use my existing frames (Ranger Edge, https://www.reranger.com/products/edge?variant=32703827607691). I used them for the first time a few nights ago at a pistol class. What a HUGE difference! I actually won the shooting competition that night! I HIGHLY recommend Karen and The Eyeglass Place in Newington, not only for your general eyeglasses but especially if you're a shooter and you want to work with someone who "gets it!"

So, I'd been going to this Eyeglass Place (Newington) for 3+ years and bought my frames, lenses and…read moreeye exams there without issue. Then late last year I brought in two sets of frames I purchased online to have them lens them for me (they were in a style no one was carrying). They took one look at them, tried to remove the clear lenses they shipped with, told me they wouldn't come out and they feared they might damage the frames so they couldn't help with them. I took them home and thought I'd see if I could remove the lenses - they all popped out hassle-free with zero damage. Excited, I called them and explained and they asked me to send them pics - I took the pics and sent them over while they waited. In under a minute they told me they still couldn't help me because the frames were low quality (I bought them on Amazon). I was uneasy about their replies so I went for a 2nd opinion - I stopped in at Harvey & Lewis at Hartford Hospital - I had used them years earlier when I was a high wage earner and needed a lower priced dealer. They took a look at both frames while I explained their lineage. In 5 mins they were fitting me for lenses in both pair. 2 weeks later I was wearing both pair. The story doesn't end there. Fast forward: I called Eyeglass Place to get my eye exam so I could get a new (extra) set of frames with the usual lensing. The day before the exam I rank to an issue and needed to reschedule which they did, somewhat begrudgingly. 2 weeks later, & 2 days before the rescheduled exam my ride had to work so I called again to move it out another week or so. The gal on the phone informed me that this was my 2nd reschedule and that it happened again I'd lose the privilege of booking in advance ever again and would have call in each day to see if they could see me that day. She left me feeling emasculated, like a child being scolded by his mother, so I acted accordingly. I went back to Harvey & Lewis, scheduled an exam and again, my ride got called into work so I rescheduled. While rescheduling, I asked them if there would be any kind penalty if additional rescheduling was required on my part.. The gal on the phone (Madeline) basically told me that life always has unforeseeable issues and that I could reschedule a half dozen times if that was what it took until it was right for me - they'd gladly still be there for me. My buddy (my ride and also a customer at Eyeglass Place, was also involved in this process and as of now, neither of us will be returning to Eyeglass Place. Clearly sometimes you really do get what you pay for. So, as a cautionary tale, if you're planning on going to Eyeglass Place Newington, please note that she's a jealous mistress, if you're not100% loyal to them, be prepared for your treatment will be meted-out proportionate to the extent of your "transgression."

No exaggeration, finding Dr Sheen and this vision center was one of the best things to happen to me…read morein 2018. It wasn't until my insurance changed and I was forced out of my comfort zone to find a place that was covered, that I researched and ended up choosing Eye Life Vision. Staff at front desk are friendly and helpful. The intake forms are tricky and need some revisiting (the idea of wipe off markers on laminated forms is good in theory but when the makers start to wear this just turns into a mess). But we're here for glasses and contacts, and this is what I'm reviewing. Dr. Sheen answered all my questions, spent significant time checking my eyes, catching an issue that had previously been overlooked by my last Optometrist, was thorough, answered all my questions and was very personable. I was worried I wouldn't find frames that would fit my head correctly but we did (and they rock!). Dr and front desk staff helped me with rebates for my contacts as well. It added up to $$ but given I chose the most expensive frames available I can't complain. The lenses for my glasses were made by a lab that makes Nikon camera lenses (I believe this is what she said) and are extremely high quality. I have NEVER seen so clearly and well with glasses. I literally almost cried when I put them on. Completely blown away, I still can't believe how well I can see. I don't think you can put a price on clear vision especially when you have astigmatism and significant light sensitivity. Thank you!!!!

One New Year's Eve I had a problem with something in my eye. They took me at 4pm and kindly assured me that I was not holding them up although I'm sure I did!

This time the defect appeared within 30 days and I went in and they said they would cut new lenses fully covered under the 30 day warranty. Got a text and went in expecting new lenses but they replaced the whole frame as well because they said the frame may be defective. These are Versace frames so they are not cheap, I was really floored. Well, that's really going above and beyond and while I have no idea if this will happen again (if so I'm told the prescription might just be incompatible with the frames) they have demonstrated superior customer service thus far.

Jeff--I believe that's the name of the business owner and I were talking about our cats and then he suddenly paused...before saying something extremely racist. To be clear, I am white. I believe the hesitation was to consider if it was "safe" to make the joke that he did. The shop is not a large space and I did not want to lose my temper and escalate anything, so I pretended to laugh and told him I needed my relatives' approval before buying anything. Well. I have a lot of racist relatives. They would defend this man. I won't. I will not give him money, theirs, mine, or anyone else's. It's sad to hear a local business owner and operator, otherwise welcoming, kind and polite, talk like that because it undoes his kindness--he's only willing to show it to people who look like he does. It's disturbing because this is not the screaming, overt racism of domestic terrorists and our government of 2026. it's insidious. It's literally in our mom and pop next door local businesses. I'm not going to repeat what he said. Doubtless, he has many excuses for it. I would, sadly, for the sake of his cats, who sound delightful, warn my friends of every color not to give this man an income. There was and is no excuse on this planet for what he said. Please consider that if you shop here, you are supporting his racism.
