The people there are friendly enough and their frames seem to be sturdy. They're also very expensive for frames. The lenses, however, are a whole other issue. I got my first pair last year, 2015. Within a few months, the lenses got scratched badly and started to crack. I thought maybe I was being too rough or something, despite never sleeping with them on and putting them away every night in the case. This year, I decided to get a warranty replacement on the lenses because I was moving out of the area. The process was simple enough, except the lady helping me didn't understand what I wanted and wanted to charge me. They were able to ship the glasses to me for $10, so that was nice. I've had them for 3 when they started cracking next to the shoulder in the frame. And 2 weeks later they have a ton of scratches and indents. I was extra careful with them this time. Making sure to only clean them with the solution they sent me with the microfiber cloth they sent. Putting them away every night. Either these lenses didn't have the anti-scratch coating I paid for or these lenses are just bad quality. I gave them 2 stars for their service. Worst lenses I've ever had.

I have had a great experience with Belmont Optometric. I have a pair of Tom Ford glasses and a pair of Nike prescription sunglasses that I love. The staff and eye doctors are always very courteous and helpful.
Dr. Chao is exceptionally careful about being comprehensive and accepting of patients’ needs and vision concerns. Even though I’m a complicated prescription for both glasses and contacts, she makes me feel like it’s her greatest day when I find i can see well! Our family has enjoyed the care she and this practice give for years. Sherri has fit us all in glasses and we appreciate the variety of options in the shop that enables this.
I’ve been going to Dr. Chiao for 4 years now and have always had a pleasant experience. Not only is she kind, informative and professional—she has a great team who always provides outstanding customer service. I would highly recommend Belmont Shore Optometric if you are looking for a reputable eye doctor who offers easy scheduling and 5 star service.
Wonderful optometrist who has been patient and active in helping me find the right contact lenses for my needs.Sherri is guaranteed to find you the perfect pair of frames whatever your budget and has amazing taste! Seriously- she will find you the look you didn't know you needed! With such friendly service the only downside is leaving.
