I've been purchasing glasses from Carmichael Optical for almost 2 decades. Whether it has been a few months to several years between visits, they always remember my name and I'm greeted with a warm welcome. My eyes are very important to me so I refuse to try a cheaper alternative. My glasses prescription is a bit on the tricky side. Other places would create bulky/heavy lenses, but Carmichael Optical always manages to fix that one crazy lens so that it's not heavy or I don't look like I'm wearing a pair of beer bottles. Service and product is well worth the cost. Would never go anywhere else.

I brought a pair of prescription glasses in to this person to replace a missing nose-piece. Several minutes after taking them back into his work area, he brought them back to me damaged. He had broken off the nose-piece support. In a rather cavalier tone he joked about it and said I would have to take them to another optical store to repair the damage he did and fix the original problem. He never admitted fault or offered to pay for repairing the broken support. Correcting the damage occurred at Carmichael Optical and the missing nose-piece at the second store were done to the tune of about $75. The owner of Carmichael Optical is, in my opinion, questionable in his work and customer support. He should have offered to at least split the cost of repairing the damage he did. Go somewhere else. This guy is bad news.

I just left from getting fitted for my new frames. This is the ONLY place in town to go for your glasses! I have gone to the same place for over 15 years and I never got this type of service. They are so committed to making sure you have what you need with personal attention. When asked to see my current pair of glasses I explained that they were tri-focal lenses but I never really used them (for over 2 yrs), simply because the close reading portion never worked. They discovered that the 2 lenses were reversed; left frame was in the right frame position. While I was trying frames they changed them so that when I left there I was actually able to use them! ! ! Excited to go back for my glasses in another week. Thanks Carmichael Optical!!!
