Howard'S Optical - Riverside

I have been wearing glasses since 2001 and have used a few different places to buy my eye wear. I got a new script and glad I walked into Howards optical on West 13th in Indian Hill. I was greeted by the staff and the owner Mark who personally helped fit my new glasses. The years of service he has provided showed in his skills of fitting my new glasses. The new glasses were amazing, the fit and finish are awesome, and the lens are the biggest part. They were a little fuzzy for about 2 days as my eyes were adjusting to them. They are HANDS DOWN the best pair of glasses I have ever owned. They are so very clear, it is so hard to explain how clear everything looks. Well worth the money. Thank you to Mark and the 2 ladies who helped me that day, you all are the best. Your eye wear is an investment into seeing the world around you, invest wisely.

Local businesses are the best! Had a pair of glasses broken beyond repair. Howard's solved the problem and 15 minutes later I was walking out the door. Many thanks to Jodee and Eva!

I visited Howard’s Optical on 13th and was greeted by Eva, who somehow manages to be smart, helpful, and approachable — a rare combination in retail. She gave me space to browse, which I truly appreciated. On my first visit, I bought sunglasses. When I returned to pick them up, I found another pair I apparently couldn’t live without. Self-discipline was absent, but insurance cooperated. Naturally, I left with two pairs. When I picked them up, Vicki (hope I got her name right) noticed something I hadn’t. She’s the kind of honest friend who won’t let you leave looking misaligned — and she actually fixed it. Most stores would have just handed them over. No hidden fees. No pressure. Just smart, straightforward guidance. Howard’s Optical is lucky to have Eva and Vicki. Owner, give them a raise, a day off, or at least a nice lunch. They’ve earned it.

I recently had 3 pair of glasses made through Howards at 2513 w. 13th. There were a couple of mix ups, none serious, but Vicky (one of the opticians) went above and beyond in helping solve the problem. She was very personable and dedicated, going above and beyond in helping me. In addition, she.talked to Mark who owns Howards; he had me come to his state of the art lab, where he fixed the issue and gifted me with a bonus pair of glasses. Their dedication to their customers is so refreshing in this day and age. A hearty Thank You to them both!

Vicki is the sweetest woman ever… thank you for your kindness and customer service. -Jose
