My daughter was growing out of her too-small frames, and had a new prescription, yet we didn't have…read moreeyewear benefits for her yet. So I would be paying out of pocket. I was determined to get a good quality pair. So my 8 yo daughter and I drove down down to Hastings from Minneapolis one morning. We were greeted with enthusiasm from Gina, and we both had so much fun trying on glasses. The selection is amazing. Frames with style that aren't boring. My daughter narrowed it down to 3 frames. Then it came time to price out the lenses... The package price was better than I expected for her lenses (Transitions, with anti-reflective coating). We ordered them and they arrived 4 days later. 4 days!!!! I know they would be a special order, but I expected they would take at least a week. My daughter looks great - she won't have frames everyone else has - they fit -and I saved a bunch of money. It's def worth the trip. Even if the trip was longer, I would drive there and back for the service. My own prescription isn't due until January, but you can bet I'll be making a trip down there for my own pair. And nobody else in Minneapolis will have the pair I'm wearing - something important to me as well. P.S. Sure, if you don't care about style or fit, you can order glasses online, but my priority is to look good and feel good, while making sure my eyes are pampered.

In addition to that, they stay up-to-date on treatments and technology, and the latest eyewear styles--even importing frames from Europe. I can't recommend this place enough!

Uptown Vision is the best. Years ago, I was part owner of optical stores in South Florida. Thus,…read moreI know the good from the bad. Uptown Vision is honest, corrects any lab errors (which is unbelievably common and the bane of every optical business), and offers better prices than the chain stores. In fact, Uptown Vision's prices beat almost everyone in the Twin Cities. Becca, the manager, is a fashion maven who knows what's in style and what fits your face. I am too particular, especially about tints, and Uptown Vision carefully reviews my color choices and shading percentages. Their frame selection is au courant, and they offer Blackfin, Masunaga, Andy Wolf, Maui Jim, and Dita, amongst others. Their optometrist is empathetic, listens, and thorough, plus Uptown Vision accepts most insurance policies. Trust me, it's the way to go in the Twin Cities.

The eye exam part was fine. It went downhill after I picked…read moreup my Oakley prescription glasses & clip on polarized sunglasses. I was at a busy lakefront restaurant, with a friend when a magnet popped out of the lense within 2-3 hours of having them. The lenses felt loose, especially compared to my numerous, previous trusted Oakley brand prescription glasses. I called & I was told to bring them in & they could fix them while I wait. I drive from an hour & a half away to bring them in & am told no one is there to fix them & I can drop them off and pick them up after the weekend on Monday. I get a call the following morning saying they were ready. Again, they tell me one thing and do another. The staff is all "nice" but NOT one person acknowledged or apologized for how much of an inconvenience it was for me, the customer. I have owned numerous Oakley glasses for decades & have never had a problem. Just with this eye care center. I have had to adjust two different days of my schedule/time to have repairs done & drive back to pick them up. I lost daylight time, other expenses like gas, when I could have been doing other things. Hours out of my day & not one acknowledgment! I will go back to my former Eye care place that isn't as costly on top of it from now on. Lesson learned! At my other eye doctor place, I got prescription polarized "sunglasses" for at least $100 to $150 cheaper than what I paid them for "CLIP ONS." There's a similar review I read where they showed zero concern as well. I've run multimillion dollar companies & trained management, employed thousands of diverse people, I imagine someone told them "not" to say sorry or be apologetic because it might "imply" fault on their part. But, A little empathy/sympathy goes a long way. They knew I was irritated by the situation & their obvious inferior product or someone's apparent ineptitude & did nothing to sympathize or show empathy. They seemingly do not appreciate their customers & it's obvious. I thought I was helping a small town business. When I originally walked in they hounded me like I might steal some $2 glass frames. I simply wanted to see & pick out my glasses before deciding to go with them & I politely told them I was looking for Oakley brand specifically, if I didn't find any I liked I would go somewhere else. They tried getting my name and information before I had even decided to go with them. I should have noted that as a red flag and left & gone somewhere that are used to diversity in skin tone. I wouldn't trust buying the clip on magnetic sunglasses if this is how it's going to be. I typically don't waste my time on reviews but I have had enough of businesses that show zero remorse and pass off inferior product at high end prices. They seemingly have a huge overhead in staff that hound you, except when you bring it in for repairs, then no one is there, like I was told there would be. It should have all been done right the first time. Incompetence, inferior product and zero accountability really bothers me. I'll wear my old prescription glasses and prescription sunglasses so I don't break my new ones again and waste more time with this company. I tested out the "polarized" clip on sunglasses and they do not seem like they are "polarized" whatsoever! I had to take them off to see the fish in the water. I've owned polarized sunglasses and this is not it!
