If you need any help with optics, Ted Carrillo is the man to see (no pun intended). He fixed my gf's glasses, which otherwise may have been a lost cause. I will certainly return with any future optics needs. read more

With a pair of vintage Oliver Peoples sunglasses missing a small frame screw I was concerned as to where I could go to ensure they received the care they needed. First stopped at D/Vision and they were unable to help after working on them for a bit, then hit the O/P shop on Rush who offered to send them back to the factory (for a fee) I figured I may be out of luck and threw them on top of the armoire... ... months later moved to a new hood and remembered Quality Optical as I have been here a few times with my friend who was a loyal customer before leaving town, had some free time and thought why not see what they can do. Took care of my issue while I looked at new frames, thanks! Will be sure to recommend them to friends and hit them up when my scrip is up. With a large selection of vintage (never worn) frames, and new styles they have a unique selection of great glasses for all face types. Shop Local! read more

Quality Optical probably has the best selection of mid-century vintage frames in the city. The window display may not impress, but the owner (Ted) is an avid collector and has a LOT more in his storeroom. Give yourself at least an hour to browse and try on, and tell Ted what you're looking for. I spent about 2 hours scrutinizing frames and vacillating while Ted brought up box after box of glasses. Every pair was unique, and looked brand new (dead stock). Finally I found my perfect frames--they were almost exactly what I'd asked for, but I STILL wasn't sure, so Quality Optical held them for me while I slept on it. (I needed to be convinced I could pull them off for daily wear.) I get compliments on my glasses literally every day. My favorite is when someone stops me on the street to tell me that their grandma/great aunt had the same glasses in the 50s/60s. Hopefully I've already sent a handful of new happy customers to Quality Optical. read more

Quality Optical - Optometrists Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

I already had my prescription so I only went in for frames. They were pricey, but the whole vintage thing is what had me sold (their frames were from Vintage Euphoria next store, but Quality Optical put in the prescription lenses. Word of advice--if you have an FSA don't do this option--it'll only accept the lenses being put it in and NOT the frames, so dumb). I didn't pick them up until about a month or so later, because I called and asked if they were in. They said they had called to tell me though I never had a voicemail from them. I guess they just call but don't leave a message as to why they're calling. Also, called the one time only. I paid extra for non-scratch and anti-glare stuff--probably more $ than it should've been. My lenses scratched within a week. So yeah, I got a cool set of vintage glasses (frames $300ish; prescription lenses, anti-scratch, anti-glare $230), but I feel that the service and the experience was very "meh" (plus the dude kept on being kinda pushy about how-to's and services--it's like, "dude, I know, I've been wearing glasses since I was 10, I know the deal"). For that price I'll continue going to SEE Eyewear for frames--they never let me down and are worth every penny. I won't be returning here. read more

I first wrote about Quality Optical in early 2007, but I said too little, so I'm starting over: Ted, the owner, is a great craftsman and very nice guy. Three years ago he skillfully put new lenses in several antique frames I had, and I've worn them happily ever since, until recently, when I broke them along with another well worn pair that broke on it's own. I was dreading the expense of solving this problem. My eyes stink. I just can't wear dimestore magnifiers. It's an arm and a leg when I buy glasses because of the need for bifocals and progressive lenses. I had one last set of old frames with good lenses in them, but the temples are too short and while they look good, they really don't fit right. Honest Ted's least expensive solution: he found me an old set of temples from a different antique frame that are longer, and which matched my last frames with the good lenses in them. These longer temples make my older, not so useful frames functionally new, useful and well-fitting. He could just as easliy have told me no-can-do and tried to sell me new glasses for thrice the price. And as to his inventory of new frames: diverse and like most quality eye shops, not cheap. But pay this place a visit when needed, because the man is so honest and helpful, he deserves the business. read more

Quality Optical! The selection of vintage frames is awesome... even though my head is too big and vintage frames looks silly on me, I still enjoyed looking at them while I waited in between eye exam and actually getting my frames. Everything everyone on here has said about Ted is dead on, but I would like to take a moment to talk about the optometrist who examined me, Paul. Last weekend the lady and I were stranded on the side of I-90, right in front of Medieval Times. A guy pulled over and offered us a ride to a gas station but told us we had to find our way back because he was on his way to work. No problem there! We got to talking and after a while we found out that we worked at Quality Optical... that's when it hit me: This kind hearted stranger was the same dude who examined my eyes back in February! Paul! Once we made this connection he offered to drive us back to our abandoned truck instead of leaving us to fend for ourselves at the gas station. Amazing. read more

This is a terrific owner-operated business. They got me an eye doctor appointment within 2 days, and Dr. Marnul was wonderful and professional. Upgraded both my contact lens and eye glasses prescription, along with the usual glaucoma test, dilation, field vision tests, etc that are required for diabetics annually. He even asked the tech to conduct the field vision a second time because my results were terrible. I'm happy to report that these peepers are doing very well. Ted, the owner, rang me up and we spoke a little bit. Quality Optical has been open for decades. The service is truly spectacular. He makes sure to talk to each of his customers, and really takes care of them. They didn't have any trials for my contacts, but offered to order me some. I will definitely be coming here to get some new glasses and for all my eye care from now on. Highly recommend to all those in the area. Plus, they have over 200 pairs of vintage frames, if you're into that sort of thing. Amazing! read more

If you have the vision insurance that will pay for a significant chunk of the exam and glasses, then I would say splurge nad experience the top-notch customer service and quality of care and attention you would get at Quality Optical. If you are looking to save money or you have to pay out-of-pocket for your vision needs, you may want to shop elsewhere as glasses here can be in the hundreds of dollars. Their customer service is superb and the selection of the eyeglasses are very good and they even have some amazing vintage and designer frames. But this establishment is pricey so unless you have excellent insurance that will cover some of the costs or you are willing to pay out of pocket, I would say that you should probably go elsewhere if saving money is your main objective. read more

Best eyeball experience ever. Everything everyone's said about Ted is absolutely true, and I should have written this review a long time ago. I went in last fall. My vision was blurry and I was itching for a great pair of glasses. It's right in my neighborhood, so I stopped in one day. Ted was really helpful. I told him I was looking for big chunky plastic frames, and after he showed me a few on display that I didn't care for, he brought out several pairs of vintage frames from the back. I narrowed it down to a pair of men's frames from the '60s. He scheduled me an eye exam and I had my glasses five days after that. In the past, I've waited for over two weeks to get glasses. I get tons of compliments on the frames and I couldn't be happier with them, not to mention they're big and I can actually SEE out of them. Quality Optical specializes in vintage stock--cateyes, oxfords, etc.--so if you're looking for something in that vein, you should definitely check this place out. Ted even had my lenses coated in this super fancy anti-glare stuff because the lenses I ordered were out of stock, and even though there was a fairly severe price difference, he didn't charge me extra. The specs gave me headaches at first, but I've taken them in for adjustments twice, and now they're perfect. Love this place. The definition of service. read more

I've been looking for some 60's vintage glasses for about two years now, but whenever i find them, they're priced at about $6-700. I randomly walked into Quality Optical, tried on a few pairs, and told the owner what i was looking for. He told me he had something on order, and to come back in a week. What he described sounded promising, so i returned. Not only were they exactly what i was looking for, but moderately priced. The frames are from the late 60's, black framed with solid gold on the bridge. From there, i made an appointment for a new prescription, and found out Ive been off on my contact prescription. After fixing that, i sat with the owner and discussed different options on the lenses. Overall, a very good experience, a very helpful staff, and run by a guy who knows how to do it right. read more

This place is fabulous! A wonderful collection of vintage frames and lots of up-to-date styles, too. Ted is fantastic -- knows his business and is extremely thorough in fitting. I got great glasses and then came back for prescription sunglasses, which he made from vintage Ray-Ban frames from 1964. I've gotten many compliments on them. Most impressive: in between my two visits, my insurance changed and his office was no longer able to accept it. But Ted gave me the discount anyway, saying he wanted to keep my business. Well, he has. read more

I can only say great things about Ted. He was recommended to me by Kelly at another eye doctor. Ted fixed me up with an awesome pair of glasses for the computer and reading. At first I thought he was a bit pricey but after the excellent service I received when I received my glasses from him. I was very happy. After about a month I accidentally ran over my glasses with a Bobcat on my daughters farm (long story). I was devastated, the frames were really smashed up. I could only think of Ted because of his love of antique glasses, he was my only chance. I went him today and within 10 minutes, I was wearing them again. I asked how much and he just held his hand for a handshake with a big smile. I owe him a million bucks or a million Thank You's. He is well worth every cent and I highly recommend him.

I went to Quality Optical because I've heard amazing things about their vintage frames and I seriously want a big pair of unique, late-1970s style frames. First, the bad news: Quality Optical doesn't accept VSP insurance, a very common form of vision insurance. However, I went in for my yearly check-up (2 years overdue, of course) and met with Jesse. He was fabulous! I told him that I wanted a new pair of glasses because my old ones made me dizzy. He told me some of the reasons my glasses in particular weren't right for me. When I complained about the "laser" that gets shined into your eyes, he even humored me. Now, the glasses. Without insurance, the frames that I wanted would have cost me about $350. They weren't even designer frames, although they were incredibly unique. Most of their frames are 1950s style cat eye lenses, but if you ask, they have a BASEMENT full of frames. read more

I found myself in a dilemma when my contact ripped in my eye and I called my deliver-it-in-the-mail-contact-provider to discover my brand was discontinued and my prescription was expired. GAAH! For any long-time farsighted bifocal wearers who rejoiced to the heavens at adolescence when you were allowed to get contacts, you know the pain of being without your contacts even for a day. To complicate matters, the last acceptable (I'm now revoking that opinion) eye doctor I saw in the city was out of town until the next day and I was assured he wouldn't even call in a comprable prescription to get me by until I could come in for a full exam. So I went on the search for another place that could get me in quickly and didn't cost an arm and a leg for an exam. I found Quality Optical. I had limited interaction with Ted but the receptionist was beyond helpful. She was able to work me in at the end of the day as a walk in and called back immediately with a sooner appointment due to a cancellation. I got there a half hour earlier than the appointment and they were able to take me even sooner. I had no more than filled out my paperwork and opened a magazine when the doctor was calling me back for my exam. He was thorough yet efficient and knew his stuff--I've been going to the eye doc for 30 yrs now and saw the same wonderful doc for 18 of them so I'm a tough critic. He explained things without being condescending and without lecturing me in my neglect of my eyes in recent years. He even threw in a prescription for glasses for me just in case. My exam (with a $10 insurance discount) was $99 and I was sent on my way with a trial pair of lenses. Save yourself the expense of buying the lenses from them directly and ask for a copy of your prescription--by law it's your right to have it. The receptionist was more than happy to meet that request so no problems there! After 12 years of only seeing the eye doctor when absolutely necessary because none of them were good enough after my childhood doctor retired, I can say with confidence I think I've found my new long term eye doctor! read more

I went to Quality Optical after a horrendous experience with a big name chain optical that advertises glasses in about an hour. Yeah, you know the one. Except after two months, and three attempts, they still couldn't get it right. Thankfully, Ted at Quality Optical did. I initially avoided Quality, since I was trying my best to save some cash, and although they had made my last pair of glasses (which were beautiful and lasted 5 years) I thought that they were a bit higher in price. Buyer beware, the optical mega-mart has caught up to the neighborhood boutiques. After returning the poorly made, badly fit, mega-mart glasses, and purchasing a pair from Quality, I actually SAVED $20 on the purchase for glasses that were correct on the first try, and included all of the same bells and whistles in the deal. Aside from the great price, I will return to Quality again, and again for the service. Ted, the owner, helped me to select my new frames. Instead of leaving me on my own he gave me a seat, and pulled out about 50 different pairs for me to look at. The shop seems small from the street, but their selection is very deceiving. Ted told me that he had about 1000 styles throughout the store that he could bring out, and I will tell you, I believe him. Everything he showed me was very stylish, and though I knew what I had in mind, I ultimately struggled to make a choice. I saw a lot of fabulous frames that you would never find at the mega-mart optical. Great, fun, selection. Before we were finished, Ted made sure that I had picked a style that was an appropriate size for my face, and offered a great fit, so that I would be happy with the final product. The glasses were ready when promised, and I could not be happier with the final results. I highly recommend Quality Optical to anyone looking for great eye wear styles, competitive prices, and above all, exemplary service. Thanks Ted! read more

Going back to have my third pair fitted & framed. I bought my 3 pairs at an antique store and go here to have them serviced. This place is wonderful, kind, and welcoming. read more

Dishonesty is the new policy of this shop. After 20+ years of business with this shop, I'm officially done with them. Ted become greedy, charging way too much for every little thing and employing kids who are incompetent. They ordered a lens I cancelled and lied about it and couldn't find my records. In the previous year, they told me my insurance covered my visit and then later (when it came time to pay the bill) said it wasn't covered. Dr. Marnul is the only reason to go there. He is highly skilled and gets your prescription right the first time. He also has another practice so why risk your hard-earned money? read more

Had a great experience here. I bought a fantastic pair of vintage frames in Portland but they were not in the best of shape. The nose pieces needed replacing and the frames needed adjusting (and bifocal lenses needed to be changed out). I visited countless optical stores including spex, LensCrafters, etc. no one would touch the frames. On a fluke I walked in to Quality Optical. I had no idea they had such a massive collection of vintage frames. Ted, the owner, was incredibly helpful. He soaked and cleaned my frames, replaced the nose pads, and tightened the screws. They even had a brand new pair of my frames! Ted took them out and told me they were late 1960's and gave my the background. I am so grateful he salvaged my frames and can't wait to get them back with new lenses. Ted really knows his stuff and was great to talk to. I will be back! read more

Just picked up my cool new prescription sunglasses--service was stellar, as usual, but as much as I love the people that work there, I love my new sunglasses even more. Now, if only the stupid SUN would come out so I can use them. Sigh... read more

My boyfriend is on the look out for some great vintage frames. We stopped in here today and were really impressed with their selection. The vintage frames are new old stock and are really beautiful. I'll definitely recommend this place as there was a good selection, the service was good and the prices were reasonable. read more

Please avoid this business or else you will be in for a disappointing experience. I went in for contacts. I specifically stated that I was wearing my last pair and needed new contacts, same brand, same prescription. I was given samples and was told that my contacts would be in the following week. I had to go back two additional times to get more samples.. THREE weeks later I went in and was given my contacts. They ordered me more samples! Why would I want more samples of the same contacts I have been wearing for years? The person I spoke with made it seem like it was my fault because I did not explicitly stated that I needed "permanent" contacts. I have never encountered this before. One would think that if I was wearing my last pair of contacts I need a new supply not additional trial contacts. Poor customer service and I will never be going back. read more

I really liked the wide selection of frames, but the service wasn't very good. The owner/salesman was a little on the slimy side, and also pretty aggressive. I left in frustration because any comment I gave about fit was met with a very defensive remark about how all frames needed adjustment (thank you, I know that). It was my impression that he'd like to know how they fit so that we could adjust them in the future, but apparently his business is so bad these days that he was getting desperate and in turn got defensive. I would've happily bought frames there from a nicer, more patient person. read more

I am not the type of person who typically posts public negative reviews. Nevertheless, after my last experience at Quality Optical, I decided that I cannot just let it pass. There were a few reviews mentioning dishonesty, which I echo, and will add greediness. As a matter of fact, a few years ago I had a negative experience with them and decided then to not go back. But the temptation overruled my better judgment, and I went back to get another pair a year ago. This week I went back to ask Ted to adjust the temples, just as he did when I bought them. The difference was that when I was buying, he was so friendly and accommodating. This time he seemed bothered and told me that he would do it but he does not take any responsibility if they break in the process... What??? That is the service I get after spending hundreds of dollars on a pair of glasses? Do you think I will let you touch my glasses after you tell me that you are not responsible if you break them??? When I told him that I do not plan to come back, his response was "okay". No attempt at courtesy not even a pretend. Maybe the fact that there were three paying customers waiting had something to do with that. Regardless, Ted, is extremely nice and accommodating when you are ready to buy but when it comes to service or just a free courtesy...don't expect much. read more

I am basically blind and I love to shop, so when it comes to picking out new glasses I get really excited and like to try on many pairs. It's like playing dress up...some look great and others are totally ridiculous, but it's all good. So when I stepped into this place I was extremely pleased - the stock is unique and beautifully displayed. The owner came out right away and made suggestions as to what would look best on my face type, as well as pointing out the new trends in eyewear. As a fashion major I appreciated this. I am a very independent shopper but his suggestions were really on point and he didn't pressure me to buy something I didn't like. Wonderful personal service. Very professional. High end service without the high end attitude! read more

I'm a fan of this business. When I've gone to big name *cough, lens crafters, cough* places I've always had to wait for 2 hours before getting my contacts. This place I was in and out in an hour. it was great. read more

I received very poor customer service and was sold an expensive lens that I did not need. I was sold a pair of transition lenses. I had and eye exam at Quality Optical about 9 months before purchasing. I did bring in frames to have upgraded to my 'new' prescription. Immediately, Ted, thought I should wear progressive lenses. Of course, these are most expensive lenses that can be put into a pair of Silhouettes,(frames) When I went to pick them up, I was completely rushed. There were people in there when I went in, so I had to wait at least 20 minutes for Ted to even wait on me. Once he did, he expected me to figure out how to work with them right away. It was terrible. I could barely walk in them, let alone read and he sent me out as quickly could. (He need to wait on the next person who came walking in for a pick up and wanted to get going home) He told me to 'practice' with them and I would get use to them. Mind you, I told him from the beginning I am a heavy computer user. I told him I have 2 monitors that I am on ALL day. I spent 2 weeks trying and trying to get them to work for me to no avail. I then called and went back in for an adjustment. At that time, I told Ted I was having a really hard time walking with them on and that reading my computer was tough. He was very short with me; like I was dumb; and gave me a 'reading lesson' . Not kidding. I spent another 2-3 weeks trying and trying to adjust. Which did work. Finally, I put on my old $12 'airport' reading glasses and could read my screens perfect. Called Ted and went back-again. Well; his only option for me was to trash my almost $400.00 transition lenses and put in computer/reading lenses. OR he said he could make me a new pair of glasses for a discount price of around $200-300. (OH; he did suggest I have my eyes re-examined by a different doctor at his place, who gave me a completely different script than the first dr. I saw at Quality Optical. This meant that the lenses that were prescribed to me were wrong.They were +1.25 too strong. ) This whole experience was a nightmare. I really depend on my eyes to earn a living and was receiving terrible customer service. I was as patient as I could be, as Ted always seemed stressed and rushed. I think he was; as he just wanted to make a quick sale and onto the next customer he could oversell. read more

The eye doctor is a real jerk. He is aggressive and angry all the time. Ted, the owner, is rude. I couldn't wait for the year to end so I could switch doctors through my insurance. Also, their prices are sky high. They suck. AVOID!!!! read more

I had not had my eyes checked in forever and I chose Quality Optical because of their wide selection of cool and vintage frames and because of all the good reviews I have read. The Eye Doc was very friendly and it turned out I only needed reading glasses . I had already been using store bought reading glasses and I was tired of taking them on and off all the time especially at work. After talking with the owner of the store I decided to get a pair of progressive reading glasses. I didn't get vintage glasses but rather some very cool current horned rim glasses with a retro feel. They accepted my insurance so I got a great price on them too. I definitely picked a great Quality Optical shop to go to for my first eye exam since I was a kid! read more

I've not gotten glasses in 10 plus years & this is first new optometrist (that i purchased glasses from) in 23 plus years. Felt they were honest & options were weighed according to my needs. 'Drive at night?" No. Work with close up things? Yes. different options for different needs. Liked the options & eye exam was a solid 'A' or even higher. Thanks read more

If you are looking for an old school 1 on 1 customer experience with a local business, this is it! Ted (The owner) is the man to see in Chicago for posh new+vintage frames. The selection of frames is incredible from Tom Ford to solid gold frames dating back to the 1930's! Their expertise shows, I have been to many optical shops across the Chicagoland area but after going here I must say... This takes the cake! Thanks Ted! read more

Didn't like the product. Didn't like the people. The guy running the store is slimy. When I bought my frames, i felt like he was upselling me on every little thing. then, i get my glasses. and immediately, the lenses start scratching. this is after he sold me again and again on how these lenses are "the same material that's used" blah blah. whatever. they scratched. and he was a jerk. when i went for adjustments, i felt like i wasn't being listened to and the same bent frame went back on my face very time. read more

Cannot recommend highly enough. So friendly and willing to go out of their way to help. Rushed an order of prescription sunglasses for me, free of charge. Also fixed the same sunglasses which were crushed within a day and also free of charge! Such a pleasant experience. Give them your business!! read more

Quality Optical is a fantastic family operated Lincoln Square shop. Great selection of frames especially if your in the market for something vintage. Customer service is great I had a problem with scratches on my glasses and they took care of it. I have purchased several pairs of glasses and the process has been excellent. Definitely give this shop a chance read more

great selection of vintage frames. more vintage good finds than new frames. they do a good job at finding interesting ones. i think their men's vintage frames beat any other store in the city. they have an interesting policy were rather than writing down what you like, they will put a few pairs in a tray and hold for at least a week. nice huh? the owner is really nice too. also a plus. frames ranged a lot in price--seemed like most of the vintage ones were $200 and some of the new that didn't look pricey were--around $400. my guess is that they have a ton of price ranges. although i did not find frames here for me, i'll be taking my male friend to look and most likely will have them do my next lens if nothing else. read more

this is a very nice place for all your eye fashion. they have a great selection of frames especially vintage frames. many offerings for women but also for men. Ted the owner is a very nice guy. he knows his stuff about eyes and eyewear. i only came in for frames and Ted took his time to show me frames right for my face. he showed me the the new style vintage look, but he they showed me an actual vintage frame made in france from the 1950-60's. they were really nice, strudy, and guaranteed no one will have them. so if you want some great unique frames try this place out. i got to use my insurance so i got a great deal. dont go to the chains, lets support the local businesses. read more

A nose pad fell out of my glasses (that I got at "home" overseas) and after seeing the positive reviews here, I decided to come here for a repair, hoping that this might be also turn out to be the right place to get my contacts renewed and maybe find a new frame. The guy at the front desk was nice and patient with questions, but when it came to repairs, workmanship was sloppy and my explicit requests to have original parts returned were not treated with respect. The nice part is that Ted was upfront about the cost (about $8 for a pair of nose pads) and the fact that it was cash only under $10. I asked that original parts be returned to me even though it was only one nosepad - after all, I thought, I might happen to find the other somewhere at home. The next part wasn't so great - although both screws were still present, one of them apparently wouldn't go in with the new pads, and so Ted used a new screw. Reasonable. I was given the original nose pad back, but when I asked about the original screw, I was told it was "in there." I took a look a few minutes after I left to inspect the repair and it was not the original screw, which I didn't really mind, but this new screw was sticking out very far and had a sharp point on it. Given the awkward vibe, I didn't want to bother with getting them to shorten it and figured I might as well look elsewhere, but I went right back and asked as politely as I could whether he might possibly have the original screw still around in case I found the original nosepad... and Ted literally threw up his hands and lectured me about how he has tons of screws and doesn't charge for them, etc. I listened and finally got handed a screw. I get it - it's not hard to get eyeglasses screws, and I probably don't NEED the original screw. But the principle matters - I paid for these frames and I paid for the repair, so why shouldn't I be entitled to do as I please with the screw that came off of it? It shouldn't matter whether anyone else thinks I'll need them. I asked for my screw, just give me my screw. It was a really disappointing experience because I had been looking forward to shopping for vintage frames with them and getting contacts. The selection does look really good, and they also have lots of nice modern frames and some beautiful Jai Kudos that I would have liked to try on. Oh well. I'd like to think this was just a bad day. After I left, I was walking down the street and saw a SPEX. I decided to go in there and ask them about the long pointy screw and see what they'd say, and someone there spent a bunch of time grinding or cutting off the end of that screw so it was flush, and then charged me NOTHING. I'll be making my next appointments at SPEX instead. Bottom line: May be worth a try if you need a good frame selection, but it can feel like they're trying to get you out the door and if you rub them the wrong way, that fact may be made clear to you. YMMV. read more

The fantastic reviews on Yelp were what led me to this place. The reviews are accurate. These guys/gals are great. A fantastic experience from start to finish. The eye exam was very thorough, and I was pleased with the large selection of frames. As noted here, Quality Optical is not cheap. I paid approximately $600 for the exam and glasses, but I felt it was completely worth the price. If you want cheap glasses and shoddy service, you can find it anywhere in Chicago. If you're willing to pay top dollar, you'll get your money's worth from Quality Optical. Ted is as great as the reviews indicate. He knows what he's doing and has been doing it for a very long time. He's old schoool, in the best possible way. I was 100% satisfied with Quality Optical and will definitely return. Great, great, great!!!! read more

I didn't like this place My glasses wound up costing $582.00 and with my EyeMed insurance I paid $286.20 for these plastics glasses. you would think they would be infrared/ultraviolet eye-protection NOT EVEN these cheap glasses aren't even Scratch Resistant Glasses. Don't go there unless you want ill fitted glasses sold to you by a pushy saleman that uses a felt tip pen to mark your focal point. how precision is that? quality optical? more like crappy optical read more

I've never written a review of any place, until now. I have been to this place 5 or 6 times. I go just 1 time a year, my annual visit. I've had many bad experiences here, but was willing to deal with it as I live 5 minutes away. Two stories stick out: Story 1: After getting an annual check-up, I was told my right eye improved so I was told by the optometrist that I should check the lens. I ordered a replacement with Ted. When it arrived, I noticed that my old lens was not returned. I asked if I could have it back, and his reply was "Why do you need it?" and I simply told him that I paid for it and wanted it returned. It took him roughly 2 weeks to return it to me. Originally, he basically blamed me for not notifying them I wanted my property returned and then he blamed the outside vendor/manufacturer of the lens for the delay in its return. Story 2: My recent annual visit took place roughly 2 weeks ago. Again, I was told that my vision was perfect, 20/18, and that I have no signs of any eye disease. I did tell the doctor that I still have mucus on my eyes from time-to-time and have dryness as well. 2 years ago, I was told to place a warm compress on both eyes to lessen this at least 2 times a day and to use Systane Ultra as needed. I followed the recommendations, yet neither fully went away, but for the last month both my eyes bothered me more than normal. I again told the optometrist and he again told me to follow his recommendation. Well, yesterday, I woke up and barely could open my right eye and the left eye had a film on it. I made an emergency appointment to an ophthalmologist and was told that I had 2 issues with my eyes, which, if I remember correctly, are the cause of the mucus and dryness of my eyes. Crazy! Plus, the ophthalmologist in 1 visit was able to tell me that I have 'Exophthalmos', but yet the optometrist in 5 or 6 visits was not able to tell this. In less than 48 hours of taking medication, my eyes feel great. Again, this is my experience. I will never return to this place. read more
