Dr. Phillips saved my eyesight!!!

And that is why I was tired all the time, getting frequent headaches, and having trouble focusing when switching from small to big or big to small screens, and was struggling to drive in the dark or when tired. I am SO MUCH MORE COMFORTABLE and my quality of life has improved IMMENSLY. Dr. Phillips told me he starts from scratch to avoid bias, and I am so so grateful for that. He will take his time to make sure the precription is correct, not just lazily bump you up -.25 and call it a day like my previous eye doctors would. The customer service is also amazing. Everyone is so helpful and warm. And also, I've not experienced the feeling of being "ripped off" as some have claimed. My insurance covered nearly everything just as it should--actually the exam was cheaper than at previous eye doctors. It was my previous eye doctors who I felt wanted to rip me off, as they kept trying to charge me for an expensive preventative exam to "check on" a freckle in my eye, at every visit, which I did not need. Dr. Phillips did not seem interested in upselling me. Yes the frames are mostly designer, and therefore are expensive, but you don't have to choose them. There are other options. However the quality of the designer frames are second to none and they really care about getting it to fit just right and making sure everything is perfect. I do not understand the negative reviews. BEST EYE DOCTOR EVER!!

I have been a loyal customer for a very long time, which makes this experience especially…read moredisappointing. The customer service I received was unacceptable. I felt dismissed, disrespected, and treated differently than I believe other customers would have been. When I respectfully voiced how I was feeling, the manager responded by asking me to leave the store instead of addressing my concerns. That only made the situation more upsetting. Over the years, I have spent an incredible amount of money at this business. Not only have I been a loyal customer, but so have all of my children. It is truly heartbreaking to feel that our loyalty meant so little. I left this place with tears in my eyes. A loyal customer should never leave feeling this way. I truly hope you realize you've lost a great customer, and I sincerely hope you change.

PUBLIC STATEMENT - International Optical…read more On 22 April 2026, I had a rigid gas permeable (RGP) contact lens exam at International Optical. After the exam, I was told I would only receive my prescription if I purchased lenses directly from the provider. When I refused, I was denied my prescription, pressured into a $700 rigid contact lens, and told I would no longer be accepted as a patient. My $200 exam fee was refunded, and the service was terminated instead of providing my prescription. I was also denied access to my medical records. This situation raises serious concerns under the FTC Contact Lens Rule, which protects patients' right to receive their prescription after an eye exam regardless of purchase. I have filed formal complaints with the Better Business Bureau (BBB) and the Massachusetts Attorney General. Patients should not be forced to purchase products to receive their own prescription. -- Patrícia Pesarolo

Yet Another Happy Customer…read more I have EasyTwist frames made in Port Royal, QC. Other optical shops told me I needed new frames and refused to grind lenses for my discontinued model. I suspected they were just trying to extract more money from me. So I did my homework. I checked out the Randolph Engineering website and decided that if I did need new frames, I wanted Randolphs -- they have that classic aviator look I love, and they're built to last. I figured that any optician who carried Randolph frames probably cared about quality and precision. Then I read the reviews and found Ronald Reisz. He's a traditional optician in the best sense of the word -- highly skilled, sourcing lenses and frames from top suppliers, and taking the time to properly grind and finish lenses (something chain stores don't always do anymore). Reisz examined my EasyTwist frames and said, "EasyTwist frames are tanks." He assured me they were still in great shape and was happy to reuse them with my new prescription. The results are outstanding. His fees are absolutely fair. He's not the cheapest option, but he's the right option if you want precision, craftsmanship, and lenses done properly. Why does this matter? I have a friend who had major issues with her glasses until an optician of Ronald Reisz's caliber figured out the problem and reground her lenses. That's why I sought him out -- and now I understand why his reputation is so strong.

The follow up wasn't for anything except to try to get us to purchase the contact lenses from them. I was not told beforehand that the follow up was going to be almost 3 times what the initial visit was. We will never be back. If you do decide to go there you better ask the cost beforehand.

I have, I guess, a more complicated prescription: I have convergence insufficiency, and I like to wear contacts plus glasses with prism, but I also like to have the option to wear just glasses. Dr White made this so easy. He's the one who first suggested the prism, which is a huge help for me, and he wrote my several different prescriptions each year like it was no big deal. He made it so easy I thought this was pretty simple, standard stuff. Apparently not! My new optometrist, uh, to put it politely, does not seem to have Dr. White's skill or understanding of prism in glasses. I now realize Dr. White really knew his stuff, which made my optometrist visits a lot easier!

Carol at L'Optique understood immediately what I was looking for in terms of style, something interesting but not over-the-top. She picked out a great pair of work frames that complemented my face and also picked out very resilient out-and-about frames with little side magnets to hold snap-on sunshades. Carol is an expert at configuring frames and lenses. The work frames have a reading/close-up region toward the bottom and a computer-distance region toward the top. The walking around frames have a reading/close-up region toward the bottom for reading menus and such, and the remaining portions are for distance and driving, etc. The clip-on shades are very easy to use. It's up to me not to lose them ;). The frames took a bit of time and were not inexpensive, but considering that I wear them everyday and need something well-made that would stand up to some abuse, I figure it was well worth it. Carol is great to work with and very attentive. The lenses weren't quite strong enough in the first frames (my eye doctor's prescription was a bit too weak), and she was able to get a second, stronger set without any trouble or additional cost. I'd say L'Optique is a high-end store but even so, it offers a wide price range to probably suit most budgets.

The owner is absolutely adorable and knowledgeable. And super patient ;) she has a cool story about each frame and the glasses choice is amazing.
