I had a cheap pair of sunglasses that needed a screw replaced and happened to stumble on this place by googling. Within minutes my sunglasses had a new screw, he adjusted them so they wouldn’t slide around and even adjusted my regular glasses so they wouldn’t slide. He did all that and we had a lovely convo about the decor all within 15 minutes. I couldn’t recommend this place enough as the service was immaculate and the people there are so kind! 10/10 recommend for adjustments repairs etc.

I have been hearing about Ed for years and today dropped in with a pair of glasses to be fixed. After 20 minutes of drilling and storytelling Ed gave me my glasses back and didn't want any money. I paid him anyway and will be back soon with more stuff to do. Thank you Ed
Ed made my prescription glasses in about 15 minutes and called Pearle Vision himself to have my prescription faxed over. He also measured my PD and wrote it down for me on a copy of my prescription paper. I didn't have any cash on me and had left my wallet at home but he said he'd bill me later and not to worry about it. I felt so cared for and that's hard to find these days. Also, his lovely mother bakes cookies every weekend and gave me a chocolate chip cookie, it was delicious! I highly highly recommend him!
I have been getting glasses at the major retail opticians. I went to Mount Carmel and complained that my eyes had deteriorated to the point where I could only get so much improvement. I had a new prescription, but it was almost identical to the old. Edward told me that was not necessarily the case, that higher quality lenses would make a difference. I was skeptical but had nothing to lose. When I tried on the new glasses with a very modest prescription change. I saw better than I had in years. Thank you Edward. You have a customer for life!!
Ed has been going above and beyond to assist me with my eyeglasses and contacts for 5+ years. He is truly an amazing optician.
