I’ve been a client at this location for over 2 decades . They always strive to deliver the best customer service that they can and have continued to do so . I appreciate them taking time out of their day to check about an inquiry I had , rather then to have me come in . I have since moved from the neighborhood and live over 20 blocks away , but I will always continue to come here to get my glasses/ eye exams . Thank you especially to Doris who is an exemplar staff member here . Her patience , understanding and grace radiates , even through the phone . This is how a business is supposed to be run . I appreciate you guys , truly ! Hope you guys stick around and stay in business for many more decades to come ❤️

The service was fast easy and the experience was one of the better ones I’ve had. People were able to come in and leave satisfied in real time. Strongly recommended.

Had a very bad experience there. I went there for new glasses, frames and prescription lenses. My insurance Humana allows up to $400 for the eye test, lenses and frames. Instead of looking to see if there are any frames that you like they have you take the eye exam. Then you can look at frames. They only push the expensive designer frames $300 and up. They told me my progressive lenses would cost over $400+. When I realized that they didn't have any frames I like, I asked for my vision script from the eye exam I just did. The rep told me I could not have my script (,which they charged my insurance more than they quoted me in cash). She said that the Dr had to sign the script first. So I asked her who just gave me the eye exam if not the doctor? She didn't answer. Just told me I had to come back to get my script after the Dr had signed it. I was upset and left. A week later I called to have them send me my scrip by mail. They refused. Said they could only fax it. I haven't had a fax in 20 years. So I called Humana and they called the store to get my script. They were told that they needed to speak with the manager who would be in the store the next day and would call me to resolve the problem. Never called, so I reached out to Humana again and and they finally faxed my script to an office downstairs. One shouldn't have to go through all that to get ones own vision script. they charged the insurance so the script belonged to me. Anyway I got online and found frames direct. There I got a pair of $200 Armani frames and high index progressive lenses lenses for $187. They same lenses that burnside optical said would cost over $400. The rep told me that her price was normal and I wouldn't find a better deal anywhere else. she steered me from any of the no name brand frames, pushed the coatings on the lenses. Anything to add to the price. Slow service, no air-conditioning . The seats are made out of rug matrial. The carpet is the same material as the seating area. Unethical, rude, manipulative crew there. Lastly, none of the frames have any prices one them. The staff can make up any number they want and I believe they do.

Frame options are limited and generally the same structurally, so if you're into most rounds or squarish type frames you're good. Otherwise, they're not that attractive. The doctor recommended that I get progressive lenses which I have never had before. The doctor told me that if it didn't work that I could come back and that they would fix it. However, what they didn't tell me was that, after I paid for the progressive lenses, and then had to have them removed because it was causing vertigo, that I wasn't going to get my money back - ANY of it - for the progressive lenses, because they already paid for it (even though it was me who paid for it and had to take the brunt of the loss). $200+ down the drain that I wouldn't have chosen if I knew I wasn't going to get it back. I had to fight with them to get another glasses frame for my now non-progressive lenses because that particular frame was falling down my face within 2 days after tightening (which doesn't even work with progressive lenses). Once I pick up my glasses replacement, I will NEVER go back to this optical location.

Excellent experience! Loved all the frame options- so many styles it was hard to choose. Great service too-- I was a walk-in and they helped me right away and were very thorough!
