MIchael Toulch is the sweetest, most brilliant optometrist I've ever had the good fortune to meet. If you're a brokeback bohemian, he'll go out of your way to make it work for you. But he's no pushover. I'm not saying he'll give you a free pair of glasses. He will, however, do his best to work with your budget and what he thinks is best for your needs, which he truly listens to. He knows what's right for you, and he'll help you make it happen. He hooked me up with the most amazing pair of prescription movie star shades of all time -- for much less than everyone said it would cost. He took my requests into consideration and cut and colored the lenses like a genius (even though the so-called lens experts said it couldn't be done). I recommend him and his store wholeheartedly.
