The Optician
2115 Allston Way,
Berkeley, CA

The Optician curates their selection of gorgeous frames like a museum. Karen has a refined aesthetic sense and great intuition about how each pair of glasses highlights the features of the wearer. She makes sure that every appointment is a focused personal experience, from selection to fitting. Getting your frames at The Optician is like visiting your favorite jewelry store.

I walked in on a random Wednesday without an appointment and was greeted by Karen and Aimee. Despite not having an appointment, they picked out several frames for me to try on. I really liked two of the frames and Karen squeezed in a quick consultation in between appointments for me to try them out. I asked Karen to hold the frames and came back a week later with my prescription. My order was filled out immediately and 2 weeks later I got an email and received both pairs of glasses. Aimee spent 20 minutes adjusting the glasses to my face exactly and this is the first time my glasses have not slipped off my nose since I first wore glasses. I really enjoyed the service here and would recommend it to anyone looking for a new pair of glasses!

This is, hands down, the best experience I've ever had at an optical store! I was blown away by the selection of cool, sophisticated frames. Amy was phenomenal in assisting with the selection. If not for her, I wouldn't have tried frames that look great on me! I will never go elsewhere.
