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.

I brought back a pair of glasses because they seemed wonky and the gentleman fixed them while I waited, they were improved but still wonky. I figured maybe it was me, maybe I wasn't giving my eyes a break while viewing a screen when I was supposed to so I kept using them. At my next eye appointment (I go somewhere else for medical reasons) I asked them to check and see if the glasses matched the prescription and they said they were way off, that because of astigmatism it's important that they be centered correctly. So, I called and asked for the owner to talk about the error in the glasses. She did not return my call for about a week and when she did she seemed really defensive saying that it is not possible that the glasses left there with a flaw. Then said that they had to special order the frames because I wanted old frames which I was very appreciative of and thanked her again for. She then said that it had been a year since I got the glasses to which I replied I think it's been 9 months but thinking, who cares, I wasn't asking her for anything. I was calling to let her know that the person working on the glasses may need some more training on centering glasses. And to order new glasses with the new prescription I just received (that I did Not expect free at this point but was hoping for a discount due to driving cross-eyed-ish for 9 months). She finally snapped "you'll need to bring those in." Obviously. I don't think I'll ever go back there, she obviously cares more about not being wrong than she cares about her customers.

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.

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!
