During my last visit, for a prescription lens replacement, I was very disappointed. For a simple single prescription it was almost $200 for lenses only! when they were ready, I did not receive any call back that my prescription was filled and ready to be picked up. when I picked up my glasses. I was asked to try them to make sure I could see out of the prescription which I could. But in the past, the technician would sit with me and make sure that the arms of my glasses were aligned, and he would bend them to make sure I had a good fit, he made sure that his customer was satisfied . I didn't find that this past week. Basically they wanted to make sure I could see and sent me off on my way. They gave me two tiny alcohol eyeglass wipes, which were dried up when I opened them . this is why we see many stores closing...great customer service matters and if we aren't appreciated we shop online, and get better prices. I don't think I will be going back here. They've lost that personal touch, which I had appreciated in the past.

Because I do a lot of business in Lower Mills and because I prefer to cater to small, owner…read moreoperated businesses, and because as a black man I like to give black entrepreneurs my money, I chose Eye & Eye, even after the owner first gave me a chilling reception months before. I didn't feel welcome and should have gone by my gut impression. Still, I scratched it up to perhaps he was having a bad day and went there for new glasses, the first pair I'd have for both far and near-sightedness. Mr. Nicholson's attitude wasn't warm, yet it wasn't so unpleasant as to turn me off, so we continued our exchange, and I bought my glasses from him - a mistake. I went back two days later with questions about my focus and the slanting, and curved images I was experiencing. Mr. Nicholson replied by explaining what he explained when I first tried the glasses - that I had to adjust my vision lower to read with transition lenses. I concurred that it will take some getting used to after never having the experience before. I explained that I'm a seventy-five-year-old man, who needs to get accustomed to wearing them and adjusting my eyes accordingly, and that I had other questions. There was never a simple acknowledgement that there will be a learning curve to getting used to something new. Rather, a younger man (an optician student) stepped forth from the back of the store and explained the cause of some of my concerns and agreeing that it will take time to get used to the new glasses. After thanking the young man for his assistance, Mr. Nicholson again tried to explain what he had already done, that I must focus lower on the written word. I tried to explain that I "got it," that he had explained it more than once and was now talking to me as one might talk to a child, when indeed I had other questions. Mr. Nicholson then talked over me, telling me and others in the store that I wanted to talk and not listen. As I don't argue with people yet felt myself getting angry. I turned to leave, stating that I do not do business with people who yell at me and treat me in a demeaning manner. He continued to berate me further and more loudly and talk about my listening skills. He was even asked by a woman who also came from the rear of the store to calm own. I was leaving, on my way out the door, when he added, he'd rather give me my money back. Oops, what!? As a person of integrity, I understand full well when one doesn't want my business. Such a statement was insulting and obviously one in which he in fact didn't want my business. I'd have been a fool to leave the store with the glasses, so I turned and said that was for the best. Give me my money back, here are your glasses. I stood quiet while he undid the transaction. He reversed the charge to my debit card, and I left without speaking another word. I write because it's important that people know (in spite of some positive reviews) that Mr. Nicholson can be quite rude, insulting, arrogant, and indignant with an air of superiority. I would not have felt good about myself if after such a comment, I continued on my way before indeed, requesting my money back and relinquishing the glasses. I was not rude, never raised my voice and was simply asking normal questions one might have from wearing a new pair of glasses after never having the experience previously. I would not recommend any self-respecting person to do business with Eye & Eye Optics. You might get spoken to as a child and told outright that they don't want your money. Thinking one is always right, not allowing the customer to explain him or herself, and reiterating the same message for an innocent and appropriate question is no way to do business. Avoid this company.

Like others have noted, this place went downhill ? 6 years ago when the management changed. I still…read moreappreciate the exams I receive from Dr Ding, but it is now a terrible place to buy glasses. They sent the progressive lenses out, and did not complete the order that I had purchased: [no border frame color]. In addition, they assured me that the Silhouette lenses would be identical to the ones I purchased elsewhere, but the new lenses did not have the same coatings. Finally, when I picked the new glasses up, the woman who did the adjustment bent the frames unevenly. She obviously did not know what she was doing. I needed to go to a different optometry shop to get them fixed. I will never buy glasses from this shop again.

My car was frozen and had to defrost which messed me up. So I got there and was told to be seated and that they would call me up when ready to assist me. They were too busy chatting amongst each other at the front desk. So 5 minutes later, I'm finally called up to check in. Then the rude lady at the front desk says "your appointment was at 7:15?" I then say yes, she then goes on to say "sorry we can't take you because there's a 5 - 10 minute grace period" in the rudest tone ever. I'm confused because I was never notified of this grace period and they took so long to check me in which I'm sure added 5 minutes to my arrival time. So then I try to explain to them that my car was frozen and I got here 15 minutes which is 5 minutes over the grace period. They then say no. I was so upset because no patient was inside there, I was the only patient there. So I pointed that out to them and they said it doesn't matter and their patients will come after. So I walked out after I was given an attitude and rude behavior, and told them to not even bother rescheduling my appointment and I will never return there. When I got back to my car, I had to wait for my car to defrost again. As I waited for like 15 minutes, I did not see any patients come in. No one showed up for 7:20 am, 7:30 am, 7:45 am What a joke of an establishment!

He took the time to show me the images he took of my eyeballs, walk through what the problem was (wearing contact lenses for too long), and put me at ease from beginning to end. The wait time wasn't bad at all. I was seen very close to my appointment time and was out of there in under half an hour. Not to mention there were quite a few parking spots right in front of the office. The office is very clean and modern-looking. All in all, this was a much more pleasant experience than the eye office I usually go to (Boston Eye in Brookline, where you can wait close to up an hour to see a doctor and there's no validation for parking).

The last person was Elliot the technician that helps with the glasses and this gentleman sets the bar for the level of care and service that you should receive. This place is amazing.

It important that I tell you my wife is handy capped. She suffers from Parkinson's disease , dementia and hearing loss. All the techs that we saw (3) were great very patient with her , kind and understanding. Then me met Dr Rad. He spent less than 10 minutes with her. He looked in one eye had difficulty opening it and told her that they could make her vision clearer with glasses and that she had cataracts that would have to be removed in the future then he left. Now as I said I have been going there for a number of years and my time with the doctor entailed him looking at each eye and call numbers to the tech at the terminal. This is usually a 20 minute process. It was obvious to me Dr Rad was not willing to spend the time with wife. When I got home I called the office (was put on hold for 25 minutes) and asked that my appointment next year be with a different doctor. I also asked that my appointment for August this year be with a different doctor. As I said all the staff (technicians) were great it was just Dr Rad who was awful. If you go there I strongly suggest you see someone other than DR Rad.
