After being scammed by a local Optometrist, I was skeptical of going out of my way for a place 25+ minutes away without traffic. They squeezed me in a few weeks ago for an appointment before the end of the year push to use up FSA balances. Originally the first weekend opening they had wasn't until January! All of the staff there are top notch now that I have a clear confirmation of my other failed experience. I finally got a prescription that works for me and a pair of glasses that fit perfectly! My previous pair were way too strong in the astigmatism and instantly gave me a headache after 1 hour of wear. The founder, John Parrelli also helped fit me with the best dailies torric contact lenses. Even though he could have advised me to purchase several of the 30 packs he said since I don't wear the lenses too frequently it is better if I wait until the beginning of 2017 when they will release the 90 pack bulk option for even more savings. The staff took their time and care with me when assessing my vision along with considering my previous observations with my prescriptions to customize one for me. I love my new Black Fin titanium lenses and prescription sunnies! Also for anyone else shopping around this family-owned business is one of the few independent places not owned by the Luxottica monopoly! They also have locations in Beverly, Danvers, and North Andover.

They have a really large selection of all kinds of glasses. And their lens quality is outstanding. They can fix almost any damage to any kind of glasses. I had a pair of sunglasses that had half frame on top and plastic wire on the bottom of the lens. The wire broke and many stores said they can’t fix it and I should buy a new pair. These guys at Parrelli fixed it in seconds. I was so happy. They also did prescription lenses and the quality is fantastic. Not every optician can make excellent lenses like they do here. I have worked with so many opticians in many years for proscription glasses and I highly recommend these people. Even if I buy my frames elsewhere I come here for the lenses.

I have been going to Parelli Optical for probably over 25 years. Every visit has been met with excellence in care and personal attentiveness. The care and attention to individual detail, both historically and currently, instills a feeling they KNOW your case and needs, and proceed with your interest in mind, in collaboration with you. This is whether it is an eye exam, or new lenses. Each done with a high level of professionalism and knowledge. They are also always well organized, friendly, and a pleasure to be a customer.
