All of the staff at Black Optical are amazing, addicted to serving, and even helping me with style guidance. Highly recommend them!!

This is the best optical store in Oklahoma! I have worked with them for years, and they are always responsive and professional. As an example, I brought my prescription in to get glasses. The prescription from the ophthalmologist was incorrect, no fault of Black Optical. They fixed it happily and at no cost. If I could give 6 stars I would! Great people and epic selection. Thanks Gary and company. I will never go anywhere else! read more

Caleb and Zach were great help and got me hooked up with some awesome gifts for Christmas. Best glasses and sunglasses store in Oklahoma!

Amazing customer service and a beautiful collection! I had a pair of sunglasses which I purchased elsewhere. They needed to be repaired. It was a brand that Black Optical carried. They went out of their way to not only get the part and fix them all at no charge. I can't wait to go back to purchase new glasses. read more

helpful but not overbearing great selection with classics and more trendy choices A bit expensive but excellent quality read more

Great customer service, great products and wonderful help with personal style, The shop is beautiful as well. Great parking in the back read more

I went to Black Optical to see if they could help me with some adjustments on a pair of Maui Jim Perico that I had purchased somewhere else. The sunglasses were a bit snug and uncomfortable on me, Tristan was there working along with the owner. After a bit of discussion on what might be the issue, Tristan went to work, the end result worked out perfectly. They wouldn't let me pay, so I could only offer my gratitude. They have quite the selection or eyeglasses and sunglasses. When I finally see the eye doctor, I'll be back to purchase my glasses from Black Optical. Thanks again! read more

Great customer service. Tristan and David are the best. Very helpful. Black Optical offers the best product curated from all over the world!

Twice I've bought from Black Optical. Twice I've been impressed with their fast responses, up to the minute information, and excellent customer service. I truly feel like a client who's in the store with them even though I live half a country away in Los Angeles. They're my first and last stop when I'm looking for the kind of glasses that go with a big noggin' - mostly Jacques Marie Mage. I would totally recommend them to anyone looking for some quality frames and I have. Keep up the great work B.O. read more

Great spot! I brought a pair of frames to be repaired and Caleb was super helpful. Thanks guys!

I bought my second pair of Jacques Marie Mage glasses from Black Opt and been very happy with their service. Great place to purchase high end limited edition frames. I highly recommend this place. read more

Love the curated selection, perfect lenses, and exquisite customer service at Black Optical. Will always return for my progressive bifocal glasses! read more

Let me start by saying they have a very nice & unique collection of optics. Not only this but the staff is fantastic and will work hard to ensure you're taken care of. I have been in there two time now to get my glasses adjusted and they have been very helpful. Would highly recommend stopping by! read more

Black Optical is not only my favorite eyewear store but my favorite store in general. I have been a customer for almost a decade. The epitome of a knowledge staff dedicated to service. The eyewear that they curate cannot be matched from the bigger eyewear stores you see around. I have purchased several of my favorite accessories from this store. I get compliments from literally everything I buy from here. Gary and David are especially helpful here. So knowledgeable about everything they carry. You get to see a lot of new eyeglasses/sunglasses before they are shown to the public through the trunk shows. They also get all of the limited releases from some of the brands I appreciate the most. You have a customer for life. Thank you. read more

The best retail experience I've ever had. I've literally told other people about this experience who will never be in Tulsa or buy glasses. When I first came to Black Optical a couple years ago, they were extremely patient and helped me find glasses I was truly excited to wear. I have gotten dozens if not hundreds of complements on them since, and this isn't even the best part of the experience! What really separates this store from all others, at least that I've visited, is the care with which the employees and owner treat the customers. They offer free adjustments, and the couple times I've come back to get my pair adjusted they've remembered my name and what college I go to, and generally have treated me like family. It's truly remarkable! The glasses are expensive but, overall, it's worth it if you wear them long enough. read more

World Class . Unmatched in style, selection and service. There is no one else like this in the game. I've been a customer for almost 10 years and I'll never shop anywhere else. Working with David (or anyone on staff) is a first-class experience. read more

Great selection, really original pieces. Excellent customer service.

I highly recommend visiting Black Optical for all your eye ware needs. It's extremely obvious from the time you walk in they make you feel at right at ease and comfortable. David and Sydney are very passionate and bring you the best quality, styles, knowledge and customer service you can find in an eye ware retailer. read more

Black Optical is an other worldly experience. Unique eye wear, impeccable service, and an off the charts cool factor. Gary Black (ahhh, now you get the name) is the masterful curator and owner of Black Optical. When he's not jet setting around to fashion shows in Paris or overseeing photos shoots in the Salt Flats of Oklahoma, Gary expertly guides customers through the selection process. He knows exactly what works with your face and skin tone. He tastefully pushes your tolerance for risk. And he runs a damn good operation. I pop into Black Optical all the time to check out new frames and chat with the supremely knowledgeable sales team at the shop. They'll adjust my frames and show me the latest specs to save up for. The Black Optical experience doesn't come cheap but it is totally worth it. Perhaps most importantly, Black Optical is incredibly generous. They're committed to many important causes in Tulsa and go beyond donating by showing up at many events. The team is an integral part of the community. Next time you're in the market for some chic new eye wear, make the investment in a pair of Black Optical glasses. Nobody else will have them - you'll get better selection and service than anywhere in the world (and I'm talking better than NYC, Europe, Asia, and wherever else I imagine fancy spectacles are sold) - and you'll feel great wearing them around town. I hear that tattoos are an addicting experience. you get one, you get another, and all the sudden you have a sleeve of Japanese characters and random animals. A purchase at Black Optical is just like getting a tattoo, dangerously intoxicating in the best way possible. read more

The best optical store I have ever known. No matter where in the world I travel I always come back to Black Optical. The customer service is phenomenal and the curated selection of designer eyewear is top notch. Trust me...visit Black Optical or check out their website read more

See all

Feel like a million bucks from the moment you decide to go into Black Optical. Walking in feels like being in a James Bond movie with high style in every nook. The modern and sleek storefront is set to impress on beautiful Brookside. There are over 700 sunglasses and glasses too choose from, but not in an overwhelming way. The staff is kind and will direct you to finding your perfect pair quickly but not in a pressure-to-buy way. Prices range from $240 to up to $3,000 for your best specs. Most of the pairs I saw were around the $300 price point which is excellent for a local business that sells independent brands. It is quite evident effort is put into selecting each pair of glasses in the store. Every frame I tried on had a wow factor and a story of where it came from. It is convenient that they are happy to fill the glasses with your prescription before you conquer the world in them. I feel quite confident in my new specs today and already feel more James Bond-ish. read more

Black Optical is one of my absolute favorite Tulsa businesses. We are incredibly lucky to have an optical shop of this quality and inspired selection in town. Since my first visit in store to look for new frames, I have been impressed with the impeccable quality of customer service I have received. Gary and his fantastic staff go above and beyond in this department. I am very physically tough on my eyewear, and they have provided countless hassle-free adjustments and orchestrated seamless repairs for me on two occasions. Also, a staff member actually delivered my glasses to me at home when I was housebound after a surgery (like I said, above AND beyond). They never miss a beat in providing quality service, and have the most beautiful and well curated selection of stylish, quality frames you could hope to find anywhere. My purchases here are investments in quality, and I truly enjoy wearing my frames daily. They are jewelry for my face, and I receive countless compliments everywhere I go. Thank you Gary & Black Optical for providing such an elevated experience in Tulsa, I cannot recommend you enough. read more

Best experience ever, with David Caldwell; helping me choose a frame that fit my face, colors that complimented my eyes, hair, and skintone. Very knowledgeable, in teaching me about eyewear. Very laid back atmosphere, no pushy salespeople. I highly recommend Black Optical!!! read more

Black Optical is the best of the best. Truly, I'd put their world class selection and top notch service up against ANY eyewear boutique in ANY city. I've purchased two pairs of sunglasses from the Brookside location over the last couple of years but most recently went in because a screw fell out of my favorite pair so the earpiece came off. Rosie made quick work of finding a replacement and cleaning my sunglasses. After making the repair (no charge!), she answered my questions about some of the items on display and was clearly willing to help me find a new pair, but did not pressure me to make a purchase. Love Black Optical. read more

Got a pair of persols online and brought them in to these guys to get them fitted. They did a great job and they fit perfectly. The employees are very friendly and knowledgable. The store has a large selection of frames and I will definitely come here for my next set of shades. read more

Black Optical, in the heart of Brookside, is one of my favorite stores in Tulsa. Why? Awesome young owner and staff who are passionate and knowledgeable! Gary and Ryan are both warm, welcoming, and almost frighteningly enthusiastic about glasses. Want to know how your new spectacles were made or if you *really* pull off those lime green wayfarers? They can tell you. Unique, artisan-style products. From a huge selection of Ray-Bans and trendy Tom Ford frames, to Japanese, Italian, American designers I'd never heard of, you can find glasses here you can't find anywhere else in the state. Selection of modern, hip frames that probably won't make you look like Sarah Palin or Paris Hilton, unless you really want to. Great selection of both sunglasses and optical glasses, in metal and plastic. Supports local entrepreneurs bringing a unique product to Tulsa. Enjoy a beautiful sales area and seasonal window art installations. Skip the Sunglasses Hut and the Lenscrafters, save up an extra month's fun money, and invest here when you're ready for new shades and specs. Downsides: -You pay for the quality. They're investment pieces unless you typically spend over $300 on glasses. - I am ruined for cheap plastic sunglasses and the Two for $99 special at the optometrist's forever. read more

My friend and I went in yesterday and the 2 gentlemen there took exceptional care of us. Fantastic knowledge about all of the products and an amazing eye for helping us pick out exactly what we wanted. Get it? Amazing eye - optical? read more

Black Optical is hands down the best place around to get sunglasses or prescription glasses and frames! Not only do they carry the best quality and designs, but the customer service is off the charts! When my frames came back and they felt a little weird on my face, they quickly set themselves to the task of fixing my frames to where they felt comfortable for me, even going to the extent, due to a manufacturing error outside of them, buying me brand new frames and totally absorbed the cost themselves! I have never felt so taken care of in a retail store. Will definitely return!!! read more

Black Optical has an incredible selection of frames from leading independent eyewear manufacturers. Their customer service is amazing. Not only did they ship my frames to me with the quickness, but they also went above and beyond the call of duty to repair the two sets of Jacques Marie Mage frames that my local optician, in her incompetence, damaged by trying to shoehorn in incorrectly sized lenses. Buying eyewear from Black Optical's website is a joyful experience. If you live in a cultural and intellectual backwater like me, you don't have to settle for uninspired, unfashionable eyeglasses. Direct your web browser to BlackOptical.com and treat yo'self. Your eyes will thank you. read more

I live most of the time in Chicago, but prefer buying my glasses online from Black Optical. Besides having a wide and current choice of styles, I get instant and professional service with unbeatable quality. Having been a customer since the beginning, I am so pleased that customer service remains top notch while the business has grown. My most recent transaction has been with David Caldwell......he's the best! read more

This store is fantastic! Completely world class!! Great taste in eyewear, super helpful staff, enjoyable shopping experience. I'm happy to have wandered into this place. read more

Black Optical is truly the best optical store- if not store overall- in Tulsa. I have purchased a pair of eyeglasses and sunglasses from them and on both occasions, the staff was wonderfully attentive and helpful. They spent ample time picking out frames that would be best for the shape of my face and were in accord with my personal preferences. They also gladly re-bent my glasses when the frames widened after months of use, making them look like new again. Their selection and staff are top-of-the-line, and I'm happy to support such an incredible business here in Tulsa. read more

The unique frame selection is art itself and the staff make's Black Optical the ultimate experience when looking for new glasses. Customer service and style all around! read more

I found my favorite pair of optical frames with this shop while desperately searching the web and reached out to them. I received an immediate response from their representative, Christy who was extremely wonderful to work with...courteous, professional and responsive. The frames were reduced to a great price being from a top designer line and once ordered, fast shipping. I highly recommend! read more

Great selection of unique frames including my favorite, Jacques Marie Mage. Great service as well. Rosie is the best!
