Terrific and always helpful!!! My glasses need adjustment but when the retailer of the brand I have refused to adjust them, I brought them to Pearle who fixed them for a measly five dollars!! I recommend coming here first!! read more

Exceptional service from start to finish. The team here is warm, attentive, and truly takes the time to help you find the right fit -- whether it's an eye exam or choosing the perfect frames. The doctor was thorough and explained everything clearly, making the entire process feel easy and stress-free. Their frame selection is stylish and well-curated, and pricing was transparent with no surprises. I left feeling confident, comfortable, and well cared for. If you're looking for quality eye care with friendly, knowledgeable staff, this Pearle Vision location is an excellent choice. read more

Awesome staff, easiest eye doc visit i've ever had and as a life long glasses wearer, that means a lot.

Each staff member was friendly, knowledgable and helped me understand each step in the exam as we went along. Dr. Zachary Weekes performed my exam this time and I was pleasantly surprised how diligent and quick the exam went, and the results were the best I have had. I ended up finding a contact perscription that was just right for me. Dr. Weekes answered each of my questions with patience, and ensured they were resolved. The prices here are fair, and they are transparent with what they do. I will be coming back here for my future exams! read more

I'm so glad I chose Pearl, even tho Clark St has so many eye exam places. . Everyone was so friendly and helped me get the best glasses. And I walked out with them! This will be my new optometrist. read more

I just took a day off to come here where there is no parking for block's because of tow zones. They're supposed to be up for seven weeks I found out AFTER double parking and asking if I would be towed if I parked and came in. The woman at the front with glasses said "Yes" and I asked where one can park if they're a clinic without parking and she said "Ashland and Dover", so I said "Where's Dover?" And she pointed the opposite direction of Ashland. I tried to clarify and she was short with me and blinked condescendingly that clearly where she was pointing was East and I said "you said the intersection of Ashland and Dover" and she said no. So I left because I would never make it on time once I found parking several blocks away. And even tho I spoke to them on the phone two days ago when they weee putting up the no parking signs and the clinic knew they were, they still didn't inform me, they aren't informing patients. They're waiting until you show up and the woman who is shorter with glasses and curly hair in the front will give you instructions as if you didn't know. Before when I came they were really decisive about Men's glasses vs. Women's glasses and yet they seem to be very inclusive there. Maybe that's a chain thing. They told me I had a condition but without any follow up just a kind hearted but empty diagnosis without much follow up. They've been good about adjusting my frames in the past. I'm not going anymore based on their setup of not telling patients they won't be able to park read more

I am not a stranger to Pearl vision, but to this location I was. First, the location is super cute. The interior is so pleasing to the eye and feels like home. I was greeted by the receptionist and he was so kind. The doctor was fantastic at explaining everything that would be occurring during the visit. The entire team there is amazing and I really did feel like I was talking to friends and family during my visit. They did have a large variety of glasses to choose from as well. I will be back! P.S. street parking is available near the office. read more

I had not had an eye exam since 2019 and with the pandemic outbreak, that trend continued. Turning 60 this year, I felt I needed to go in and get my eyes checked out, just to make sure everything was ok. I was not experiencing any issues, but it doesn't hurt to stay on top of things. Making an appointment was very easy using the online system. The staff was quite pleasant. As soon as I walked in I was greeted in a warm manner and taken care of right away by Victoria. She took my history and did the initial exam. Then I met with Dr. Weeks. He was very nice and thorough in his explanations. Each step of the exam, he and Victoria explained what they were doing and why. I loved that they had a machine that was able to take a photo of the back of my eyes. That was awesome to see as well as the entire eyeballs done to retinas. The service at this location was just wonder and I am happy to say that I still have 20/20 eyesight. I was also happy that there was no hard push to make me get glasses. While my vision is still good, Dr. Weeks did say that with a recommended prescription, my sight could be even clearer. When I said no thanks, I am good with what I have for now. that was the end of the discussion. But did mention that I could come down for eye checks for eye irritation due to allergies...now that I may take him up on. I was not much for doing eye exams but this will be my go to place. I have always had eye exam insurance and never used it, so now I am going to bet my money's worth and spend it here. There is plenty of street parking and it is on the 22 Clark Street and 81 Lawrence bus lines if you take public transportation. Can't say enough nice things about this location and the service. read more

See all

Popped in for an eye exam only. Helpful staff and friendly optometrist took care of updating my prescription. read more

I always get great service here. They ask about my eye health and work with me to get a good deal on glasses. Much better than some other places! read more

From the manager, who helped us, to the Eye Dr, the place is fantastic. They have so many great frames at half the price I payed at other eyeglass stores! read more

I really like this place. My initial consultation was with Andrea and she was great. I felt like she was very knowledgeable about not only improving my eyesight but she also has a good eye for fashion. Drew was very helpful and kind - it's good to know that a national chain is in such good hands with a local owner. The Dr and the technician were also very knowledgeable and nailed my prescription. This was my first pair of glasses (and now my second, because I lost my first) and the team is great! Thanks!!!! read more

Came in here as a new patient for a general eye exam and contacts prescription. The staff here is super friendly, and Dr. Weeks is great - he listens to you and is very thorough in the examination process. Only reason for a less than perfect rating is that I was given a new prescription that was far too strong, which ended up making me nauseous and dizzy. We were able to switch out the contacts for a new prescription, but it took over two weeks which impacted my ability to drive, etc. However, now that we've got it right, this will be my go-to place for future eye exams! read more

If you're looking for an exam or glasses, don't look any further than this place. I was more than satisfied with my exam and purchasing glasses. The whole process from scheduling to leaving glasses was more than satisfactory and easy. They explained the process effectively. I wasn't left wondering why we were doing certain tests. Dr. Weekes explained everything meticulously. I understood what he was looking for reading the images. He made sure all your questions were answered. Everything they do is very safe. They wiped down all machines that were used. They sanitized the glasses, the machines, and the rooms. Victoria and Drew were great in helping me find the right glasses. Their energy and friendliness made it a great visit. Highly recommend this place. read more

It's extremely disappointing when there cancellation policy charges $20 for 24hrs and $50 for 2 hours. If you cancel this fee has to be paid up front before they allow you to book a new appointment. Wow! People's schedules change and charging that is ridiculous, also the tone of the person on the phone was extremely off putting as well, requiring proof of insurance before booking an appointment. I see the policy has drastically changed since I was there 2 years ago. While I really like Dr. Meeks I do not like these new policies. So I instead will go up to Visionary on Clark where they don't have a cancellation policy! read more

Changed optometrists after moving to the city from suburbs and this location and group was recommended and I couldn't have been happier. Every person my partner and I interacted with was great; there was a very short time to book an appointment and once there everybody was upfront about options and the process. Dr. Weekes was thorough and very nice, and Victoria is the frame whisperer. The technician who did the initial testing before getting back to the doctor explained everything as we went through it and they were friendly and kind. Very happy I switched and I will send people their way. Yay fam! read more

One of the doctors refused to take my wife's insurance, but another one there would, and they didn't even try to accommodate to schedule our appointments together after that. They decided to inform us that they weren't going to take the insurance the day before even though the appointment was scheduled for about a week and we had no problem with her insurance the time before. read more

Dr. Weekes and his team were super cheerful and professional from when I walked through the door until I left. Each test was administered with an appreciated sense of humor and warmth that made the whole process smooth and enjoyable. Dr. Weekes made a point to start his exam by asking how I was in general and the few minutes of small talk put me at ease, then his utmost professional exam left me feeling properly taken care of by someone who knows what he's doing. I was in the market for both new contacts and glasses during last year's exam, and they were helpful and attentive to me without being pushy regarding the sale or attempting to upsell me, which I super appreciate. A year later and I still love my glasses and am glad I got the ones I did. Two years in a row of having a really positive experience, I'm looking forward to a third and beyond! read more

The ENTIRE staff rocks!! My colleague saw Dr. Weekes on a Friday and insisted that I schedule an appointment. I thought, "What the heck?!" I mean, if she got THIS excited about an eye doctor, he must be good. So, I called to schedule an appointment the following day, and was fortunate enough to get in within a few hours! Dr. Weekes has assembled a wonderful staff who are both professional and affable. The doctor was thorough, honest, and has a comforting disposition. His equipment is newer than anything I had ever seen, and he married that with traditional dispensing protocols. The eye glass selection is quite vast and the staff is knowledgeable about how to maximize insurance to get the best eyewear and contacts. So basically, if I had to give this place a grade (I'm a teacher), I'd give them an A+, with high honors. Thank you for a wonderful experience. read more

The team at Pearle Vision Lawrence and Clark is truly wonderful! I had been having trouble with a glasses prescription I had gotten from a different optometrist, so chose to go to Pearle Vision since it was right in my neighborhood. I could not be happier with my decision! The team greeted me right away and used their online health portal to get me all set up for that visit (and for future visits). Dr. Weekes was truly kind, compassionate, and helpful. I explained to him some of the problems I had been having with my other glasses and felt like he truly listened. He did a very thorough exam and at the end of the exam built me a "test" pair of glasses so that I could try the new prescription and make sure I wasn't going to be sick to my stomach. After finalizing my prescription, I worked with Lissette to find a new pair of glasses. Lissette let me know about the frame limit through my vision insurance and asked if I wanted to stay within that budget - this was very much appreciated and something I had never been asked before at other places! She then listened to what I was looking for in a pair of glasses and walked me around the store helping me to pick out frames that were both within my budget and what I was looking for from a style perspective. When I decided on a pair of frames, Drew told me that my prescription was in stock and I could go home with a new pair of glasses the same day. He cut the lenses for me, set them into my new frames, and made the final adjustments to the frames so I walked out with a great new pair of glasses! read more

Just had my eye exam at this location and I couldn't be happier. My visit started with the help of Lissette prepping me with preliminary tests before I visited with the doctor. She was extremely helpful and knowledgeable of the tests and ensured I was comfortable along the way. She also was very patient with me while we went through each test. After the preliminary tests Dr. Weekes was able to immediately walk me through my results and conduct a few more in-depth exams to ensure the accuracy of the prescription. He was absolutely fantastic, professional, friendly, and extremely knowledgeable. Dr. Weekes walked me through the results of all my tests in a way that I would understand and ensured I was comfortable the entire stay. After the exam Lissette, Andrew, and Dr. Weekes were ready to help me find the right pair of glasses. They all helped me find the right set of glasses that fit my face and were stylish. During this process they were extremely honest pointing me to frames that complimented my features and helped me look good. After a quick vote, we decided that a pair of Ray Bans were the right choice for me! I would certainly recommend this place to all my friends/family/etc and will be coming here again! Absolutely fantastic place. read more

Nice new store. I received excellent service here. The sales associate took the time to call my optometrist and get my subscription extended. After making my purchase, Drew kept me informed on the status. He called and let me know after the frames arrived that the lens was not up to standard and that they would be ready in a couple more days. I would come back here again. read more

I wish I could give this place more stars. So so many more. I recently have at started worrying more about a possible eye infection in my left eye. By this point I was at the end of my contacts life and had no glasses. Drew answered my FB message asking about the eye exam cost, in the same message I mentioned my eye and he said come in right now and we can get that checked out as well. Since they wouldn't have a doctor in for at least two days. Mind you they were closing in a half hour. What followed next was amazing customer service and willingness to help me in my time of need. Dr. Weekes was extremely thorough with helping me find my prescription and figuring out what was up with my left eye. I swear I held back tears because not only did they stay longer(past close). But they also were able to get me prescribe me with a solution for my eye and I left home with glasses that same day. They're both amazing people and I willing to bet the rest of their staff are as well. I will continue to come here and will recommend everyone I know to go there. This definitely is a time where the service I received went about and beyond and I am extremely grateful to them both for helping me in a time of need. read more

I hadn't been to an eye doctor in years. Drew and Dr. Weekes made me feel right at home. They explained everything very thoroughly and their commitment to cutting down on paper impressed me. It was such a pleasant and positive experience I would recommend them to everyone. read more

I had an amazing experience today with Dr Zachary Weekes and his staff, Drew and Laura. Dr. Weekes is very personable, knowledgeable and caring. His exam was very thorough and I learned a lot while under his care. He answered all my questions, demonstrated to me the difference between a healthy eye and an unhealthy one. He also provided lots of guidance on how to keep my eyes healthy. Drew, the receptionist, checked me in and made sure all of my documentation was complete. He is very pleasant and efficient and keeps the reception area organized and cleaned. Laura was just lovely. She guided me through all of the preliminary tests and gathered more detailed information about my eye history. She asked me things I hadn't really thought about before. One of the tests we had to redo because she wanted to make sure the measurements were correct, but I also think it was part of her innate sense of professionalism. The office setting is very pleasant and comfortable, and they have a nice selection of frames. Everything was explained to me clearly every step of the way. I recommend getting your exam at this Pearl Vision location. read more

They did a good job taking care of me and were friendly. When i went to pick up my glasses the guy i talked to wasn't as friendly as my optometrist or the other ppl that helped me pick out my glasses, that's okay though cuz everybody else was cool. read more

I can't remember the last time I have had a more satisfying experience. The exam was thorough. The doctor was professional and offered insightful recommendations and solutions. The staff was so accommodating in choosing my frames with great recommendations without trying to push something that wasn't in my best interest. They also didn't try to push unnecessary add-ons that I really didn't need. It was a pleasure and I look forward to continuing to use this office in the future! read more

My whole family has been taken care of by this Pearle Vision for more than 3 years. Dr. Weekes is kind and (endlessly) patient, and has managed to find contacts that will work with both my dry allergy plagued eyes, and my strong prescription. They monitor one of my kid's eyes for an impact from his chronic illness. My three teenagers all wear glasses and Drew, Victoria, Laura, and Jackie are endless kind and patient while we pick out and fit them with frames. My youngest finally needed glasses and he had a hard time picking a pair he loved - Victoria even swapped out the ear pieces to make a perfect pair for him. They have a beautiful and constantly updated selection of frames - the hardest part is leaving some of them in the store. If you are looking for the perfect place for your eye exam and glasses needs, honestly, just go here. read more

Just finished a contacts exam here. I had such a great experience! Drew, Laura, and Dr. Weekes were all incredibly friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable. It was also a very clean store and they were sanitizing various equipment a lot. I am so impressed with this staff, as well as all the new technology (it's been many years since I've had an eye exam). I would definitely return as well as recommend to others! read more

Wasted no time here, greeted promptly and always had someone's attention if I needed help. The Doctor explained everything to me in detail about the health of my eyes, and I was fortunate to be able to get my new prescription and frames the same day. Also received friendly service in selecting my frames from all the staff. They took the extra step in making sure my glasses fit securely, and re assured to me come back whenever I have an issue. read more

Very friendly. They look the time to help me find glasses in my budget that look great. I highly recommend this store! read more

The staff, along with Dr.Weekes, was absolutely wonderful! My partner and I came in for my eye exam and they were more than happy to accommodate one for him exam last minute. We will continue to go to this location. Thanks for being so pleasant. read more

Another great visit, overdue from my first one in July 2020. An episode with one eye during the night scared me a bit, so I thought I'd get my exam now and was able to grab one the same day. Both Drew and Dr. Weekes did the most thorough eye exam I've ever had. Turned out my prescription is about the same and I can relax about the weird thing that bothered my eye last night, but in three months we'll follow up with an exam just to be sure of one thing seen on the test (to make sure it's gone). I feel my concern was thoroughly investigated, on excellent equipment, and most of all that I was getting the best attention and advice from Dr. Weekes. I felt very safe, COVID-wise, as they're doing everything right. Hope to get back there soon for some sunglasses, since I didn't need new everyday glasses. Oh, they tightened and thoroughly cleaned my everyday glasses as well. This is my go-to place for glasses. read more

From the moment I walked in I felt welcome and my insurance benefits were thoroughly explained to me. The exam with Dr. Weekes was easy given it had been a while since my last exam... He explained everything he was doing and was very friendly. I never felt pressure picking out glasses from the wonderful crew and Drew gave me many style tips along the way. I cannot wait to pick up my new glasses in a few days! read more

This is by far the best place I have ever gone for eye care. The staff is so friendly, they go above and beyond to make sure everything is cleaned and you are comfortable. Laura is awesome! We realized we are neighbors! When my contact lenses came in she offered to drop them off in my mailbox after work. That's beyond customer service. I referred my mom and she's now a Pearle customer. read more

Excellent service. They didn't try to sell me anything I didn't need and in fact suggested I wait a few months for when they anticipate I could get what I needed for less. How about that?? read more

Liz helped me pick out the perfect frame! I've never worn glasses and she made the process very easy! Highly recommend this location!! read more
