Review from Gretchen P.
Houston, TX
5/5/2009
My current pair of glasses are from here. I both (kind of) like them and absolutely can not stand them, it depends on what outfit I'm wearing. I suppose that is one of the woes of having a pair of colored plastic frames. The brand isn't important as I dislike the clothing line.
Vision Corner carries a good selection of frames. Mostly clothing designer name brand (Nicole Miller, Vera Wang, ect), but also some brands that are only exclusive to eyeglass shops. All very nice and run the gamut between boring, conservative lady glasses to "are we certain these aren't kiddie frames?" (They carry men's frames, but I didn't waste my time looking at those for obvious reasons.) You'll most definitely find a pair that almost fits your personality, are versatile, and that you hopefully won't bore you two months in the future. Yes, yes, that mythical pair of "perfect" frames.
A year and a half ago, a very polite, helpful, and pushy optician found my current pair of glasses. She's the only person who's complemented my on my frames, if that gives you any indication on the level of their "awesomeness." Once you walk into the store, she sizes you up, and finds frames based on your outfit or in her eyes "your personality." To her credit, she IS very enthusiastic and nice and finds frames you wouldn't think of trying on yourself. On my most recent adventure in searching for my new frames, she tried her damnedest to convince me that the satin-finish Mardi Gras purple rectangular metal frames with a darker purple with chartreuse squiggles on the arms, were the perfect new frames for me. Perhaps she didn't hear me the multiple times I mentioned I would be wearing these frames every day and not everything I owned would match that color combo and design. She also found a few quieter frames, as well, but nothing that I really liked.
If you are on the hunt for glasses, keep in mind that you must stay focused on your objective and you must not "impulse by" or be goaded into buying frames that you are not 100% happy with. And above all else, do NOT fall for the "would you like an outside opinion" routine. She'll just call over her coworkers to tell you that the frames are "perfect."
This is a great place to add to your "Search for spectacles" list and they do take insurance, but really, I found some even better pairs at Insight Optical and Eye Contact.Listed in: Did You Just Call Me "Four…
