I had such a wonderful experience at Glimpse Vision in Old Town! I stopped in for a quick repair and was immediately greeted by Leslie, who was incredibly kind, welcoming, and eager to help. Shortly after, Boyce came over and was just as friendly and attentive. They made this visit such a pleasant experience. While I waited, I had the chance to browse the showroom and was blown away by their selection. The eyewear is absolutely stunning, beautifully curated, unique, and unlike anything you'll find at a typical optical shop. I highly recommend Glimpse Vision for both their exceptional customer service and their amazing collection of frames. If you stop by, be sure to ask for Leslie and Boyce, they're truly fantastic!

Dr. Carrie Roitstein is truly exceptional. I stopped by Glimpse Vision without an appointment, and she graciously took the time to see me. She was incredibly kind, patient, and professional, making me feel welcome from the moment I walked in. What amazed me most was her generosity—she provided me with contact lenses and solution and never once asked for payment. That level of compassion and genuine care is rare to find. It's clear that Dr. Roitstein is passionate about helping people and goes above and beyond for her patients. If you're looking for an optometrist who combines expertise with kindness and outstanding customer service, I highly recommend Glimpse Vision. Thank you, Dr. Roitstein, for your generosity and for making such a positive difference.
If you want fun and funky glasses with a great personal touch, this is the spot. Boyce has a great eye for glasses and Leslie is just a gem! So highly recommend!!
Carrie is an exceptional eye doctor who truly goes above and beyond for her patients. What sets her apart is her holistic approach—she doesn’t just focus on traditional eye care, but also educates patients on maintaining optimal eye health through proper nutrition and high-quality products. Her dedication and depth of knowledge make every visit a positive and informative experience.
Boyce is incredible! I came into the store just before closing and he was able to help me make quick decisions on sunglasses. I trusted his taste and recommendations. The store was beautiful merchandised and comfortable. I highly recommend and thank you Boyce!
