| - This place is amazing. They were exactly as available as myself (early 20's collegiate with discriminating taste - so not at all) and my mother (early 50's, very indecisive, essentially looking to have her hand held through the process of sizing up glasses - so a lot of attendance, advisement and attention) wanted them to be, without having to explicitly communicate these desires.
The frames are cool. Particularly, they span the gap between the Eyetique eccentric - frames with uniqueness at the cost of following no known design principles, and generally ones that I find incredibly unflattering - and the mundane of Visionworks or Lenscrafters. They have some very conservative frames that follow along the lines of lenscrafters, and then they go all the way out the spectrum until they run into the "no known design principles" territory, and stop right at its edge. It's great.
I found a pair of frames that are not sold anywhere else in pittsburgh that are metal-framed thickly on the top and thinly on the bottom - a 50's kind of look usually associated with plastic frames with colored top framing and transparent bottom framing - that are perfect for my pretty abnormally proportioned face.
It services myself, my mother and my brother now. It's an excellent, kind, and clearly hard working set of brothers that own and run the place.
It took them two days to have my glasses ready, and one day for my mother's.
5/5. I commute from shadyside to here to get my glasses, and have my optical exams next door at the also-outstanding Dr.Rudavsky's optical.
p.s. I have been a customer for three years, after my mother advised me to try them for finding frames. I was late to post a review because, first you think you want to create a yelp account to help get the word out about the good ones, but you know what? Things come up.
