EXCELLENTBased on 34 reviewsTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.Hannah Reyes2022-02-22I came in today with broken frames and my glasses were fixed within minutes. The young man working was extremely personable and helpful. They are affordable and their staff goes above and beyond to make sure you are taken care of. I would highly recommend this establishment for all of your eye care needs.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.Tonya McMichael2022-01-27Very pleasant experience. Everyone there was genuibely interested in getting us the best help. We esp loved how they helped to choose our frames...they were very sweet and honest with ea pair that our family woyld try. They really have an "eye" for what would best "frame" your face (wow, I'm very punny tonight). Side note: they are out of network. Also, be sure to have them break down your out of pocket cost before buying. I incurred more costs than what is merely tagged on the glasses. Anyways, check them out!Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.Salvation_or_Demise2022-01-20Amazing people, and amazing serviceTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.Brandi Barrick2021-10-09Excellent business!

February 24, 2017I won a contest with them for a free pair of glasses from their own line (frames and lenses) I went with hopes of getting a pair of sunglasses since... read more my lenses and frames were fairly new and from them already and I’ve never owned prescription sunglasses! They were 100% on board with this so we picked a frame and ordered. When I went to pick them up I was so mad at myself bc I realized I forgot to get the mirror tint added on them!! I loved them but just knew I would love them even more with the tint. Well they had a little issue when cutting the lenses, so they wanted to re order a new lens bc it just didn’t look “perfect” for them and since we were ordering a new set we could add the mirror tint!! I’m in love with my new sunglasses and could not be more pleased with the customer service!!
