Updating my review in honor of Women's history month. Let me start by saying this- this review will…read moreprobably sound like I am personally friends with the business owner- I am not but wish I was. I met McKenzie by running into her shop ten minutes before closing time, racing over after work to get my broken glasses repaired. i was fully prepared to pay the repair fee posted on the website- she insisted it wasn't that big of a fix and wanted to do it for free. When I insisted on paying, she charged me $3. I have gone back several times for glasses fittings and repairs and she never charges. Most recently I came in with a bunch of glasses to see how different they were from the new script I received from the eye doctor . She so kindly tested every single one. I was prepared to finally pay her for her kindness by buying a pair of sunglasses or at least sunglass lenses, and she acted with the most integrity I have seen from a business owner in ages. She said that despite none of the prescriptions being the exact same there was one pair of sunglasses that were close enough that for sunglasses which are more forgiving I wouldn't notice a difference and that if she were me she wouldn't bother buying new ones. She absolutely could have sold me a pair of sunglasses- it was again right at closing time and instead she helped me out and did not charge a penny. I don't know how she stays in business but I am so glad she is. I think its worth the cost to go somewhere that is doing it right. The prices are high because her costs are high- she has what is likely a razor thin margin. Unfortunately because she does not have an optometrist or ophthalmologist on staff she can't bill insurance, but for those without vision insurance or looking for an extra pair etc- I would highly recommend Capital Eyes/ McKenzie and her adorable shop puppy. 10/10 service, a decent selection and she is so great at making recommendations (she had customers buying glasses the last time I went in so I got to watch her in action).

I completed one of there online surveys for a promised care kit (cleaning kit) and when I went in they never heard of it so wasn't going to give me one. I ask if they could call the corporate office to ask about it and the answer was no. Will I go back to this sunglass hut? NO! Would I recommend them to a friend? NO! If my business isn't even worth a phone call why should I spend my money there? I was the only customer also.

I absolutely LOVED my experience here. As soon as I walked in I said "whoa this place is nice!!" I…read moregot a few chuckles and was promptly greeted by the staff. My appointment was to pick out frames as I had received a prescription earlier this year from a different eye care company. I have NEVER had an experience like this. Deliah sat me down, asked what I liked -shape, colors, etc - asked if I had any photos and started getting to work. She chose frames that would compliment my bone structure, colors that compliment my eye color, skin color and hair color. The first pair she brought out I thought "oh these are the ONES" then she brought out another and another and I loved every single one of them! I ended up buying two pairs. One for the spring/summer and one for the fall/winter. I regret nothing! I had been going to an eye care place in tacoma for the past 19 years and never had an experience like this. I only remember ever picking out 2 frames in the entire 19 years of going there that I loved. Every other time I was just picking the "best" out of what they had. That's why I ultimately started shopping around elsewhere bc I wanted to LOVE my glasses, not just settle for a pair and count down the days until I could get a new pair. I found Rouse eye care by searching on VSP's website for an in network provider. I am so happy that I found them!

I thought it was odd that I needed an appointment just to look at frames and and for someone in the "Optical" department to measure me for new lenses. I needed another appointment to pick up the new ones but did not see well with them and returned them. Someone there (I don't recall who) suggested I come back to have my vision re-checked by Ben Wong. I made another appointment and Dr. Wong issued a different prescription for new lenses. The same person in "Optical" handled the new order and I was not charged for the second go round. I made yet another appointment to pick them up. They seemed okay there in the store. But I could not use them using a computer or just reading. I tried desperately to adjust to them for two weeks, then simply gave up out of frustration. Long story short - the PD (pupillary distance) had been measured incorrectly and I experienced headaches, eye strain, and neck aches during those two weeks. I had not been give a detailed billing statement and asked for one a couple of weeks later. After reviewing the charges, I saw that I had been give bifocals - not the trifocals I had ordered! In addition, the person who assisted me in "Optical" apparently needs professional training. My confidence and trust in their business is completely destroyed. I emailed them three days ago with my complaints and asked for a refund. They thanked me for my concerns and said they would get back to me "when [they] we have more information." I am waiting.

It had reflection of a Seattle store, Archie Mcphie. I don't know If the two are related, but I don't know if Archie even exists anymore. I used to do their parking lot sale, but when they ended it 15 years ago, I stopped shopping there as that was the only way to pay a reasonable price for items imported in bulk from China. A lot of displays and boxes here were empty, I don't know if they had a holiday run or are just bad at restocking, but I reached for a few things that just were there. They had some cool Olympia based items and a fair amount of pop culture and although not cheap, the pricing was fair and based on the thrift shops we visited, the kind of stuff that holds our attention was cheaper here than it was second hand in other places. At the end of the day, there was nothing here we had to have so we left empty handed. Every city needs a store like this. If merch was stocked , we certainly would have bought something.
