I love trying out new colors. They also have sunglasses and clip ons available. They have low bridge too for some frames which I like since that's what I need. I like that they don't hound you when you want to just go in and try on but are also there if you need help with deciding which frames to get. You can have them order for you there which takes less than 30 minutes or you can just do it yourself online. I've had many friends come buy glasses from here too. It's a good deal for frames and lenses and they usually do a discount if you buy more than one. Some insurances may cover too so check with your plan.

Well maintained and trendy office, plus they have snacks! LOL. Very happy with this visit and will return for future appointments. P.S. it's customer appreciation week or month.

In a word: SUPERB!!…read more Some background: for many years I saw an optometrist in downtown Minneapolis on Marquette Avenue - and an old but wise eye doctor! He used old lenses that he pulled from a case to check vision, but had new equipment to check for eye pressure too - the best of both worlds. More than anything else, he was friendly and genuinely concerned about my vision and me as a patient and I was saddened when he retired. The past several years I've opted for the corporate giants for exams, but this year I decided to look for a real private practice and found one right down the street! I'm adding all of this because I was so surprised by how much Dr Tyler reminded me of that optometrist! Dr. Tyler did a great job with his exam and he spent a chunk of time with me. His effort to answer questions and explain what he found in the exam was way over and above what I've gotten used to the past years - like I said: Superb!! I'd recommend him to anyone that wants a better and more thorough experience, who appreciates quality care, and who enjoys a great "bedside" (chair-side) manner!

I have been in the store multiple times for myself and my husband. The staff have been nothing but knowledgable and quick to help. Getting in for an eye appointment is also relatively quick and easy! The selection of glasses is excellent. So many different styles, colors, materials, and widths to chose from. The one downside? I had my eyes checked there and I feel like the exam room is a complete dungeon compared to the store. No, I don't expect anything fancy by any means! But the store itself is just so aesthetically pleasing that you would only expect behind the scenes to be somewhat appealing and welcoming as well. Also- this doctor I saw didn't give me by new prescription lenses to quickly look around in. Most other places I went to the doctors provided that for me. Again, not a big deal but it was expected and I did feel apprehensive to buy new lenses without a clue how I would like the prescription. Other than that, I have been super excited about it all!!

I think the parking spaces behind the building are just for employees, and all the other nearby spots are reserved for others. If you find a street spot you're fine, but it's not likely to be close.

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.
