I was looking for my first pair of prescription glasses and a co-worker recommended this place. I couldn’t find frames that I liked at the glasses place near my office so I came here and was much more impressed with the selection of cool and unique frames and brands that they have. This is a family run local shop and the staff are very knowledgeable and passionate about what they do. Overall, the staff was just great, and very patient while I took a long time and a couple different visits to finally pick out some frames that I love. Meghan was the one who mostly took care of me and she was awesome at helping me find frames that best fit my face and offering her honest feedback about what looked good—my face is not the easiest to find a good fit for. She was also really generous with sharing her knowledge for my education and benefit, which I really appreciated. I really felt like my best interest was the goal at every step of the process at this place. Her mom (forget her name) and Rhonda were also both great to work with and fun to chat with. I’ve already recommend this place to some friends and a coworker. Btw, if you don’t see a set of frames that you just love, ask them when they are getting in another shipment—this helped me and I found an awesome pair of David Spencer frames that I’m loving. Best of luck!

Outstanding selection of fantastic designer/luxury frames. Mary Beth, Meghan, and the staff will make you feel right at home! They more than possess the experience, knowledge, and product selection to get you exactly what you’re looking for in a fun, welcoming, and professional atmosphere 👍😊
I sheepishly walked into Upchurch Optical to see if they could adjust the Ray-Bans I bought online. Aubrey very graciously helped me and was so professional. My glasses now fit perfectly and I discovered a local jewel. Next time I get glasses will definitely not be online (what a terrible decision that was) but will be with Upchurch! Thanks, Aubrey!
Great place. Always get my glasses there. Super nice staff, great unique selection.
My experience here was not pleasant. When you pick out glasses, it’s nice to have someone there to help you pick out a pair that suits you, your face, but the lady there was impatient, not a people person at all. My eye exam was not as thorough as I thought it should have been either. I never returned again, and went elsewhere. I do not recommend this Optical Center.
