  1 0 Eyes on Fremont is fantastic. They have a TON of different, stylish frames, many of which come in more colors than just the ones on display. I just got my newest pair of glasses there (cherry red plastic cat-eye frames), and not only were the sales people really lovely, but for the first time ever, I found, like, a dozen different frames that I LOVED. And, the glasses were relatively inexpensive -- roughly $300 before various healthcare discounts were applied. Do not make the mistake, however, of going on a Saturday afternoon -- it was a madhouse.

I love that place. keshmeshi commented over 2 years ago | Report 0 0 Yeah, third for Eyes on Fremont. I've been to Market Optical a couple of times, and they have awesome frames, but jesus god are they expensive. And Market Optical specs always make my eyes hurt for some reason. Eyes on Fremont, on the other hand, is always perfect. Fnarf commented over 2 years ago | Report 0 0 I love Eyes on Fremont. dollymop commented over 2 years ago | Report 0 0 i fifth eyes on fremont! i get a compliment every single time i wear my metal rimmed phd-ish glasses. whiskeypony commented over 2 years ago | Report 0 0 I too will need glasses and I was going to listen to all the recommendations about Eyes on Fremont. Then I read Anna L's comment. What the fuck is everybody recommending them for if they don't take insurance? What the hell is up with that? Who can recommend a place that won't be outrageously expensive? James commented over 2 years ago | Report 0 0 My health insurance doesn't cover eyeglasses, that's what's up. Doesn't matter where I go. Fnarf commented over 2 years ago | Report 0 0 You can get a receipt from them and submit it to your insurance company yourself. dollymop commented over 2 years ago | Report Enter your comment or ask a new question preview THIS IS A PREVIEW: Click "Post" to submit it or "Edit" to make changes. edit Please wait… This could take a minute if the tubes are clogged.

  1 0 I also recommend Eyes on Fremont. I just got a fabulous pair of glasses with vintage cat-eye frames. I also found a lot of great frames at Roosevelt Vision Source. (I ended up getting a second pair there, because they accept insurance. Eyes on Fremont does not. So I paid full price at Eyes on Fremont--about $370 due to my extreme prescription needs--and then used my insurance at Roosevelt Vision Source and picked up a second pair of glasses for $26.) At any glasses shop, be sure to talk to the staff. Often there are MANY more frames than what is currently on display. Both pairs of glasses I bought were from not-on-display stock.

  0 0 If you want honest style advice about frames that look good on you (classy!), Warren Ruby at Broadway Vision Source is a genius.

  0 0 Colaizzo Opticians on top Queen Anne. Camille and her staff have succeeded in capturing my business for life. I've bought a dozen frames from them over the past 6 to 10 years. I would be surprised if any other shop in Seattle carries Ic! Berlin frames. Consider paying a visit.

  0 1 http://glassyeyes.blogspot.com/ $300 is relatively INexpensive!? How about $30! I'm not stylish, so I bought a $9 pair. They've worked great for two years now. Cory Cross answered in Style & Beauty over 2 years ago | Report 2 comments by MyrnaMinkoff and Cory Cross… 0 0 Oh, I've considered going that way for glasses that I need for being out in the woods and getting all muddy, but nice frames that fit your face, and that have been fitted *to* you, these are not cheap, generally. I thought $300 was reasonable, given that for most other places with fun frames the frames alone run to $300 or more. I wear glasses every day, I don't wear contacts, and it is important to me that my glasses be an extension of my personal style. They are far more valuable, in that sense, than any jewelery or clothes I might own. Your argument is the same one behind the classic line, "you paid what for that shirt?? I can buy something similar for less money at Wal-Mart." Ehh, I don't really get behind scolding people for paying what they want to on nice things, prescription glasses included. MyrnaMinkoff commented over 2 years ago | Report 0 0 Hey, I believe everybody's welcome to spend their earnings how they choose fit. I'm just constitutionally unable to spend so much more for fashion :) YMMV Cory Cross commented over 2 years ago | Report Enter your comment or ask a new question preview THIS IS A PREVIEW: Click "Post" to submit it or "Edit" to make changes. edit Please wait… This could take a minute if the tubes are clogged.
