While on a cruise of the Mediterranean I lost my prescription progressive eyeglass and struggled with reading glasses purchased in an Italian pharmacy. Once I reached Rome I visited Ottica la Fege and discovered a terrific selection of fashionable frames at varying prices. The proprietor, Emiliano Andeani waited on him and showed me various frames without pushing any particular price point. This was on a Saturday and I was leaving Rome the next day to return home. Emiliano offered to examine my eyes and prepare the progressive lenses that I required, promising that I would receive the glasses in the U.S. within 10 days. Here it is 9 days later and the frames arrived with perfectly prepared progressive lenses. Emiliano is a gracious and highly professional optician about whom I cannot praise too highly. read more
