Great selection, awesome Customer Service.
All in all, what I dreamed about but did not expect.
My past experiences with eyeglass selections consisted of Sears, Lesco Optical and Wallyworld. Suffice it to say, not very satisfying on the whole process, but cheap enough.
Upon entering the store I was greeted immediately and after a small chat, left to browse around. Very nice not to have a shadow while I was trying on frames. I found a pair of Hacketts that called my name. It was like one of those moments you hear about concerning sighting "The One" for the first time.....you know...angels singing and all that jazz....
Eye exam was great and painless. I asked tons of questions and all were answered satisfactorily. Interesting to note my scrip had changed quite a bit in two and a half years. I was able to read all the lines on the eye chart when we were done! My last eye examiner told me to get as close as possible but not to expect perfection. This guy let me get eagle vision! Wow, what a difference! I can read a street sign 2 blocks away but still read a menu comfortably.
The actual checkout was painless. The owner was so nice and he personally fitted the frames to my head. I am particular about not having crooked or off center glasses. I see so many people with slightly askew frames or glasses too high or low on the nose bridge. Mine look great!
The prices were a little higher than what I previously paid but the look was killer. I opted for transition lenses for that dreaded AZ sun and the anti scratch coat.
I know for a fact that he is cheaper on the designer lines he carries than other walk-in stores. I checked around and looked online also. He will let you bring in frames where you had paid too much and get new lenses cheaper than the place you overpaid at the first time. In short, if he carries the line, he will service you glasses, even if you bought elsewhere. Very Nice!
I consider myself a new and long term customer!!!
