I had an annual exam in Dec. Dr Cleary saw an infection & recommended me to a cornea specialist before she would proceed with my new prescription. It is now March and the cornea Dr that has been treating me, has ok'd for me to go back for my eye exam. Called Pearl Vision on Saturday, got an appointment for Monday evening after work. I have been coming here for years and will continue to. Thank you Donna & Dr Sinopoli for getting me in so quick. read more

Always a great selection of new glasses, the doctors doing eye exams run on time, the pricing is quite fair. The clerks at the front are awesome with helping get your glasses adjusted, giving advice and helping to get the best look and fit overall I couldn't ask for a better eye Doctor. Dr Sinopoli and Dr Cleary are amazing!! read more

The transition glasses that I bought for my dad here stopped darkening in the sun all together only after a year. I spent close to $800 for new eyeglasses and a pair of sunglasses when his prescription changed. The lenses of his eyeglasses soon kept popping out of the frames and the coating was peeling off the lenses. We were told later that it was bc his thick prescription didn't fit metal frames well and that we should have gotten plastic frames. If someone told us that in the first place, we would have gotten plastic ones. Done wasting good money here. The quality is just not up to par for the price I'm paying. read more

Wonderful Staff. Extended evening hours. Fantastic service. Definitely recommend. Easy Parking

Not very helpful. Woman I dealt with was very rude and unfriendly. I left feeling like she was talking down to me. There are plenty of other options out there. The parking situation is awful over there. It's very difficult to find anywhere to park with all of the construction going on. I will be going elsewhere from now on. read more

I have not had an eye exam in my adult life. The last time I probably had one was when I was in grade school and it was an annual wellness check thing. I also wore glasses once as a young child, but that was a brief stint. Fast forward to now, I decided to make an eye exam appointment, and I am glad I did. It was kind of an adventure, really. An adventure that led to me finding out that I needed reading glasses, which was perfectly fine as I was kind of expecting to walk out of the appointment with a prescription for corrective lenses. Dr. Kathleen Cleary, was super patient and helpful and answered all of my questions during the exam. I'd recommend her to anyone looking for an optometrist in the Quincy area. Dorothy, the sales supervisor, was also helpful in helping me choose a frame and went over all of the options and cost breakdowns, e.t.c.. Everyone was great, the check-in process was easy, and I was overall very happy with my experience. Thank you! read more

The people that work at Pearle Vision on southern Artery are professional and very courteous it was a please being there! We didn't have to wait at all and their selection of frames were plenty. I would advice anyone to go there! MB read more

Terrible service and they lied to another provider about my prescription being expired when it wasn't. I tried to order new contacts via BJ's and Pearle denied it saying my prescription had expired. I still have the handwritten scrip from the Pearle doctor and it does not expire for another full year. They just wanted more $$. I'm taking my business elsewhere. read more

First, I was told the insurance was good. Then they said it was no good. I went back with different insurance, and the same associate couldn't retrieve the pieces of information on the order. I was told to come back with my 80-plus mother to pick out the "same frame" as they forgot. Absolutely nightmare and unprofessional. Been coming here for years, and the level of service has declined . read more

Extremely rude and poor service. All we asked was simply my wife's pupil distance after paying extra for eye exam and they refused. This would only take them 1 to 2 minutes. They said they only do it if buying glasses from them. They know without the pupil distance you would not be able to order glasses from any other site. Essentially they were trying to force us to buy glasses from them even after paying for the eye exam.. what a fraud! just want to nickle and dime you. Very upsetting. Never going back. Everyone should know. read more

I had been to this location a year or so ago for an eye exam and had a good experience, however, due to COVID, and my last minute planning, I could not get an appointment before my prescription expired. I went to a different eye doctor and had the worst experience. I came back here a few months later and Dr. Heather Kass was amazing! She was very sympathetic about my experience and made sure I walked out with the correct prescription this time. My contacts are perfect. Also, everyone in the office was extremely nice and friendly. I will now wait years for open appointments here instead of going anywhere else. Thank you, Dr. Kass and team! read more

Every time I have come here I have never been treated kindly. They are extremely rude to me and do not even attempt to crack a smile. I have a feeling it is because I am a teenager and they assume I am ignorant- I watch them treat adult customers much better. I avoid going into the store simply because it makes me so upset. 2 stars are for one woman who always is willing to help me but unfortunately she is only one employee, and because I have been getting my contacts here for years. read more

After my horrible experience at Cambridge Eye Doctors in Quincy (my review is here on Yelp), I decided to try Pearle Vision on Southern Artery. At first I was not impressed -- as another reviewer here states, the selection is by no means large. I did manage to find a couple frames I thought were OK and Bridget (the store manager) came by and offered to help. With Bridget's help I was able to find three frames (one each for computer work, distance and distance sunglasses) that were very nice. She spent a LOT of time with me. I am pretty picky and she was extremely patient and informative. She was by far the most thorough eyeglass specialist I have ever dealt with. She didn't just write up my order -- she spent time telling me why this particular pair did/did not work for me, recommended others for me to try on, etc. She also worked out the math so I was able to take advantage of an Amazon Local Deal without having to go through the purchase process with Amazon.com. She also filled out my insurance paperwork so I could get reimbursed for $200 through my vision plan at work. I have worn all the new glasses and I have gotten compliments on each pair. My only complaint is that Bridget talked me into getting bifocals with the sunglasses. She was adamant about how it would come in handy but I'm still a little skeptical. Also, the line for the bifocal part is very noticeable in the sunglasses and I think it looks weird there but maybe I'll get used to it. She did tell me that if I hated it, they would replace it at no charge to me. Other than that, I am extremely satisfied with my shopping experience at Pearle Vision and especially with Bridget's help. I would definitely recommend stopping there for glasses. read more

This Pearl Vision is great! Well in my opinion that is. I really love the doctor that is offiliated with this store. She did a lot to answer my questions and keep me well informed (I'm new to the world of glasses). The selection is very good and if I find something online or a different color then what I see in the store, they always order it for me. The employees are also so friendly and helpful. They always help to work with my insurance and get me the best price. Who knew failing eyesight could be so expensive.... read more

I've been in here before to get sunglasses fixed and they were friendly, affordable and had my sunglasses fixed and back to me in a timely manner. Today once again I needed a pair of sunglasses fixed and the gentleman that helped me was awesome! He was friendly, it was extremely affordable and he fixed my sunglasses right on the spot within minutes. I couldn't even believe it. He has the salt and pepper hair with the glasses. What a great guy! I highly recommend this place. read more

Donna & her mother in law (I forget her name) are so nice & funny! Donna was really patient & understand when my eye doctor at home was so slow with faxing over my prescription! After about 2 weeks we just took the prescription from my current glasses and my new glasses were ready the next day! Dr Cleary was cool for the most part, except she didn't seem too pleased when I got called in to work & needed to move up my appointment. But people have bad days. No biggie. I'm glad she was able to squeeze me in to suggest new contacts. I have allergies and my eyes are almost always dry, so finding contacts had not been easy so far. Her receptionist, on the other hand, seems to always have some sort of attitude. Not a fan. read more

The best eye care/glasses store in the Greater Boston area. My eyesight exceeded legally blind in the mid-2000's and is now verging on Very Nearsighted/"you should have thought about Lasic 5 years ago" so the process of finding comfortable, affordable glasses is a struggle. That all ended when I came here on impulse having looked at all the eyeglasses stores in the South Shore on Google Maps. Bridget is the person you want helping you at this location. She is both the manager and optometrist not to mention the most empathetic, trustworthy salesperson you will ever find. They not only had literally the perfect pair of glasses for me, they were able to include every enhancement I needed at a price that didn't make me flinch when I heard the subtotal. This place is worth coming to if you live 30 minutes away from Quincy, it is very likely that it is worth trying if you are severely nearsighted and live an hour away from Quincy, thanks everyone at Pearle Vision! read more

Owner is usually working along with her son. She has great suggestions as to color and shape of glasses that look best on me. The eye doctor who works there is great too. I have a hard time getting the right contact lenses. She knows how to go guide me. read more

Thank you to Dr Cleary understanding my needs regarding glasses specific to reading music. The new glasses are perfect.

I've gone there two times for eye exams and both time the Dr was good when it came to getting my prescription. I've been using contacts which I buy somewhere else due to how expensive they are at Pearl. When my proscription changes this last time I I had to ask the contact people to verify my new prescription. The Dr refused to verify my new prescription and so I can no longer get my contact where they are cheaper because he Dr does not like where I buy them. I thought this was so unprofessional since it is my money and I should be able to buy what I want, where I want. I will no longer be going there for exams. read more

Dr. Cleary is the best eye Doctor I have ever been to! I also like that she does not push things on you and listens to you. There is also no push sales. The sales staff work with you and your insurance and go above and beyond in this respect. I will recommend them to everyone and anyone! They are also fast in service my glasses were ready the next day! The place is also very clean! read more

This is, hands down, THE best place to go to on the South Shore for glasses. We order all of our family glasses here and every time I go in, they remember us and bend over backwards. I have worked with Donna, Dorothy, and two other women whose names escape me. They all give excellent advice on what looks best. The customer service is always fabulous. They are all very accommodating. You can have complete confidence that your glasses will be filled accurately, they will happily honor the one year warranty, and that you will look great. Love this place, love these people!!! read more

If you want to buy an overpriced piece of crap that breaks in a few weeks after it arrives from China: go ahead. I'm never going back to a chainstore again. I'm pretty sure the optician wasn't even licensed! read more

This review is mostly for Dr. Kathleen Cleary. She is AWESOME. I went to her initially like 10 years ago. Since my insurance changed, I had to find another doctor. Throughout those years, I've had about 3-4 different eye doctors. I literally called every other year to see if she took my new insurance, no luck. 10 years later, I am back! She even remembered me! I regret not dropping my new insurance sooner because I trust Dr. Cleary and she knows how to treat her patients. I'm actually moving out of state but will be back really often. If my insurance isn't limited, I would def come back to her every year just to get my eyes checked out. read more

I just had the best customer service experience today at this location thanks to Dorothy. Her experience and gentle approach is matched by her quick wit! She did not rush me and I ended up buying more than I had planned! However, if was going to give my business to anyone it had to be her. Kudos to Pearle Vision for having such an amazing employee. Every business should have a Dorothy. #BelikeDorothy! read more

We are more and more pleased every time we return to this store. Dorothy, Sean, Donna and Rita are all amazing and knowledgable to the point were we remember their names and they remember ours. We get our prescription glasses and sunglasses here. I was not even aware at one point that my insurance covered my glasses and they went out of there way to find out. They saved me $275.00. We will not go anywhere else. Professional and courteous beyond what is required. You can tell they all love what they do. read more

Fantastic! Very impressed with Dr. Cleary. She took the time get to know me as a patient and understand my history. The support staff were very helpful with my insurance. The optician (Martha) helped me select a new pair of frames that I'm excited to show off. Highly recommend. read more

Dr. Cleary is a good doctor, a very good one! She is patient, explains everything to you, and looks at all the possibilities and leaves nothing to chance. She is what a good and compassionate doctor should be. We all know that is rare nowadays. So if you want someone who will take care of you genuinely, she is just the person for that. read more

Very helpful staff. Young lady at desk got right up to help as we came in the door. She found the right frames for us and saved us time.

I've been coming here on and off for 2 years. Dr. Cleary is great. Very welcoming and very professional!

Love the people that work here. They are the NICEST and always make us feel so welcomed. They are just the best. Their customer service is unparalleled. They do a fabulous job on our glasses, always! Thank you dorothy, you always put a smile on our faces read more

Too expensive, and Eeeh customer service. Had 4 eye doctors, this is worst experience. read more

I ordered eyeglasses on 12/28/2013. These glasses are covered by my insurance. At the end of January 2014 I called and was told that my insurance did not cover the cost of the glasses so they were not ordered. I called my insurance company who said that no order was ever received. I called Pearl and they said they would now put the order back through. On 3/24/2014 they called to say my glasses were in and ready for pickup. Three months wait for glasses in so unacceptable I will never shop here again. read more

Let me start by saying Dr Clearly is a wonderful Dr. I have been going here almost 9 years. She is friendly, knowledgeable, and over all excellent. The woman that works the front in charge of appointments, billing and I think greeting people is not a customer service person by any stretch. She has always been short with me and rude from day one. When you have to go to her to make an appointment or pay, she acts as if I am bothering her. I try to be as friendly as possible to her. And after 9 years not as much as a smile or hello when I come in or to anyone for that matter. But she is the first person you see upon entering. The rest of her staff some of the best around such kind, friendly accommodating women. They have always gone out of their way to be helpful and nice which is why I always came back. I missed an appointment yesterday, being totally immersed in the shock of the results of our election. Which I apologized for a complete over sight. we were glued to our TV watching Hilary speak. My husband and I basically woke up and were in tears. Like a lot of America. I completely forgot my appointment. After 9 years being a loyal customer , the rude woman at the front told me I will charged be 50.00, when I was unhappy about that. She spoke to Dr Clearly and got it waived but then said she would need a credit card to charge me up front for my appointment??!! Which she then followed up with. You would be paying it anyway. I have paid cash for every appointment all these years. However now being told I will be charged up front, and they want to keep my card on file. They just lost a loyal good customer. This was honestly the last straw as my last interaction with her making an appointment was as rude and cold as they always have been. To which I grew tired of tolerating being treated like that. If she is tired of dealing with the public. Maybe it's time for a new line of work. I work with the public daily, and if I acted that way to our guests I wouldn't have a job. I'm sorry to be leaving what I always thought was such a wonderful place to be. read more

I visited Pearl Vision today and spent 10 minutes or so looking at the men's selection of glasses. The men's selection was very limited, I wasn't impressed at all. The place was busy granted but no one said hi or asked me if I needed help, so I split. read more

Long story short, I needed my glasses replaced. The frames were apparently being discontinued or no longer being carried in store, but Shawn located a pair for me. He was very courteous, prompt and honest. He called to let me know what was going on and kept me updated. The frames came in within a couple days and everything was hassle free which is greatly appreciated. Thank you Shawn read more

Worst place ever! They incorrectly overcharged me then incorrectly charged the insurance company and then had the gall to send me a bill in the mail. After requesting payment they stated they made a note in my file so this should not happen again....so they admit to their mistake but still expect me to pay more money. No thank you. I'll be looking for a better eye doctor read more

amazing experience.was nervous based on some of the reviews.excellent customer service.wonderful doctor.all around best eye Dr I have been to.ordered contacts and new glasses.highly reccomend this Pearle vision.I certainly will be coming back!!!.Amy is a doll.so sweet.. read more

Staff is...basically kind of rude. I was spoken to like a child (I'm a grown adult) twice by two different women. The first time I let it slide but just today I went to pick up some boxes of contacts (which took about 10/15 minutes, really?) and was just fed up when I walked out. Got some nice glasses the first time around but I'm pretty certain I won't be returning. read more

This is my second purchase at the Quincy office and they are the BEST in the business. I was very pleased with my first pair of glasses that I bought over a year ago. Other places I had gone to in the past were not as helpful or attentive. Donna explained everything to me and helped me choose the right pair. I picked up my glasses later that day and Bridget delivered them. She made sure they fit correctly and gave me a case and a cloth and made sure to tell me to return regularly for maintenance ( she compared my glasses to my car and said she wants to see me about every 3000 miles too) and it's free. I laughed but whenever I change the oil in my car I think of my glasses. I have been in regularly to have them cleaned and tightened and everyone there always seems happy to do it. We chat not only about my glasses but about life in general. I have a new prescription and I just picked up my newest pair the other day and am so happy with them. Bridget told my husband to take me out to dinner and show me off in my new specs. I have always been treated graciously and with respect. The people at Pearle in Quincy do care and not just for your eyes or to sell you glasses, they care about me and will care about you too. They know their stuff too. I went with my mother today to a place in the mall just to look since we were already there but I will be bringing her to see Bridget or Donna. They said they liked the glasses on her but only after she said she thought she liked them. The person offered no other assistance and when we told her we were just looking she couldn't be bothered with us which is what prompted me to write this review. I read one of the recent reviews and who ever wrote it is sooooo wrong. I work in a medical office and billing insurances is not easy. When you expect to get one thing back and then don't the bill goes back to the person......I'm sure if you had talked to your insurance and then to the office they would have worked it out with you....sometimes all the insurances need is a call from the member to make sure they pay the proper amount and the mistake was probably on the insurance and not you or Pearle Vision. The other person must have been talking about another office because there is only one eye Dr. at Pearle. At Pearle they help you choose and bring you frames to try that you might normally not try on and they are honest when they say they like or don't like a frame on you and will tell you why. I originally fell in love with a Tiffany frame but it was out of my budget but Bridget found me another that I love equally and was in my budget. I will be returning soon with my mother and to buy a pair of prescription sunglasses. Go to Pearle in Quincy and they will help you see better and look good and feel good. You will not be disappointed. read more
