Christos at Soma Optical is hands down the best optician I have ever met. I have worn glasses all…read moremy life and have purchased eyeglasses from opticians all around Boston and in the various cities I've lived in across the country. Working with Christos was by far the best experience I have ever had. With other opticians I've found that they tend to just say "yes" to whatever you pick or to base their recommendations solely on style rather than paying attention also to fit and functionality. I inevitably left with glasses that never felt quite right or kept slipping down my face despite paying hundreds of dollars. Christos, on the other hand, is a true expert who knows how eyeglass frames should fit a face for maximum comfort and functionality while still working to find the best-looking frames for you out of his vast selection. After purchase, he is also meticulous about adjusting the frames for your face. Unlike other opticians, he actually has an opinion and can help you figure out how the frames ought to fit. And unlike most of the opticians I've purchased from in the past, he's genuinely skilled at adjusting frames and will really work with you and keep tweaking until the fit is *exactly* right. After my experience at Soma, I refuse to purchases eyeglasses from anywhere else. This is a true gem of a store and I plan to recommend it to anyone who will listen.

But the real star of Soma is the service. I am not exaggerating to say they go so far beyond the call of duty, it's almost unbelievable. Seriously, I am telling the truth. (And if you think I am prone to hyperbole or false niceness, just read some of my other reviews on Yelp.) In summary, my wife and I buy everything optical there and will continue to do so. They are great. Highly recommended without reservation!

The first eye exam itself was a terrible experience. I didn't feel like I was being treated by a doctor at all. The communication was rude, and I felt uncomfortable the whole time. Six months later, I came back to ask about getting a second exam for contact lenses, and I was made to feel degraded, like I was bothering them just by asking. The lack of professionalism and basic manners made the whole experience really upsetting. I left feeling bad instead of cared for.

They purposefully rejected Humana insurance (administered by EyeMed) for my minor daughter despite…read morethe fact they knew they accepted Eyemed. They did this for their own greed and when I spoke with the owner, Mary Keenan, she confirmed their mishandling and offered to rectify the situation by returning the glasses for a refund. We don't have vision insurance anymore so I explained that I need them to resubmit the claim....that a refund isn't what I need. She refused and became nasty and hostile. I asked her not to contact my daughter, but 10 minutes later she texted my daughter asking to return her glasses.

He did not charge me for the new lens (based on a new prescription)!

(Rest in peace Kili, your sacrifice will not be forgotten!!) Anyway the point is I obviously don't like spending a lot of money on my eyewear. However the styles and service at this place had me willing and ready to change my ways and risk it all. The result?! Got some slick behind sunglasses and can't nobody tell me nothing. And these bad boys gone stay on my face, whether I'm scooting down 90 head bopping to Michelle Branch or getting misty eyed over Annie Lennox's Into the west as I salivate over a literary masterpiece.

I took them back to a different store (seaport) where they advised me that the lens were too large and knew exactly the issues I was having with the near vision.

I am writing this to alert those with progressives that you may want to ASK about the lens size as I wasn't given this advice by the associate and optitrician at the Newbury store and ended up with a frame that wasn't good for progressive lens wearers.
