  7 0 You should go to Eyes on Fremont, absolutely. Everyone I know who gets there glasses there raves about it, including myself. They will give you a LOT of attention, they have the latest designer frames and many experienced stylists to help fit you. You won't regret it. Alissabeth Newton answered in City Living over 3 years ago | Report 1 comment by Mike… 0 0 I go to Eyes on Fremont. I like Dr. Louie - he's pretty no-nonsense and he listens to feedback. The staff in the store are great - they're friendly, helpful, they know their stuff, and they've given me several good recommendations. I'm happy with the frames they helped me pick out, so now I just order lenses from them when my prescription changes.

  1 1 Get you prescription from an ophthalmologist and ask for your PD. Then save yourself literally hundreds of dollars and buy your glasses online. I went this route and got a pair glasses that look pretty slick for about 30 bucks. See GlassyEyes.com for some more information.

Anyway, the only reason why I wouldn't recommend doing this is that you really need to try the frames on to see how they suit your face. Each pair of glasses will look different on your particular face and they will probably look different than you expected them to. I've wanted to get some frames that look really cute on the shelf, but then when I try them on they just don't work. AND, I do have a pretty good eye for visualization too, so that isn't the problem. Kristin Bell commented over 3 years ago | Report 0 0 True, but if you've already got a pair then you can look at the frame size and that will definitely put in you the ball park when shopping online. I was skeptical about the fit with an online purchase too, but I found something I like and it ended up fitting even better than I'd hoped. If you need an adjustment you can always go into a store and ask for their help. And if they look absolutely terrible you're only out a few bucks--not hundreds. There's no harm in looking at frames in a store to gauge what looks good on your face before buying either.

  0 0 Virgina Mason has a great optometry department and a very nice eyeglass store. If you have complex problems with your eyes there are additional resources on site like surgeons and other specialists. This came in handy once when they found something odd on one of my eyes. I moved up the chain of specialists without having to make an additional appointment.

  0 0 I like Broadway Vision too. And the doctors are good. Due to an FSA (Flexible Spending Account)through work, I've had more money to spend on things like glasses at the end of the year for the last couple of years and not had to worry about price tags as much. This helps, of course. But I've gotten glasses there that have gotten me more unsolicited compliments on my specs than I have ever experienced in my life. I like the Phillipe Starck/Alain Mikli frames from France, but the glasses I've gotten the most reaction to are a pair of very cool Prodesign:Denmark frames that I found there. I was at the Seattle Erotic Art Festival earlier this month, and that was the one single thing that people said to me the most. "What cool glasses!" "I've got specs envy." malixe photo answered in City Living over 2 years ago | Report Comment on this answer Enter your comment or ask a new question New comments are not being accepted at this time.

  0 0 I don't know about the doctors at Broadway Vision Source (on Pike) But Warren and John who are stylists, maybe opticians, are terrific. ds answered in City Living over 3 years ago | Report Comment on this answer Enter your comment or ask a new question New comments are not being accepted at this time.
