Michael and Rebecca at Gregory's, are THE BEST!…read more I have been purchasing frames and lenses from them for a number of years, including the previous location on Wickenden and now the newer "hotspot" on Hope Street. It's a small comfortable setting on the first floor of # 91. The shop certainly has style and pizzazz! Check out the wallpaper too! (luv it!) The display cases still house the most intriguing styles; classic, contemporary & cosmic. (my opinion solely!) See for yourselves ! I own six very unique frames including a pair of exquisite sunglasses. Yes, my smile brightens and my eyes light up, as frame style compliments are frequently given to me wherever I go. What's not to love???

I LOVE Gregory's Optical - they are beyond AWESOME! I stopped in today (early-mid January 2025) to…read morepick up my brand new Alain Mikli sunnies. They're gorgeous, stylish, handcrafted and totally rockin' my world. Gregory's Optical highly personalized service is bar none - no question about it. These people are professional, knowledgable, friendly, efficient, expedient, low-key (no hard selling tactics here - ever), and, a complete pleasure to deal with. I've patronized their business spanning decades. I first saw them on Thayer Street on the East Side of Providence abutting Brown University. I followed them to Wickenden Street in Foxpoint and now to their newest location at 91 Hope Street. Aside from their outstanding highly personalized client services, I've remained with Gregory's Optical because of their vast selection of excellent quality upscale global brands with outstanding competitive pricing. For a sublime boutique shopping experience for fine prescription eyewear, please visit opticians extraordinaire Michael (proprietor) and Rebecca - who continue the professional experienced traditions and practices started by Michael's Russian-American parents decades ago. While I dearly miss Gregory and Dora, I fully trust Michael and Rebecca to fulfill all my optician services and prescription eyewear needs. They ROCK!!

I went here back in January. The place was clean and had a good vibe. The doctor gave me a new…read moreprescription that seemed very different from my previous one. I got new glasses and had a really hard time wearing them. I had bad headaches and my eyes felt very strained wearing them. I stopped wearing them and went back to my old glasses. I went to a different place last week and learned that my eyes hadn't changed; the prescription from Providence Optical was completely wrong. I'll never be back.

They have cheapo ones, pricey ones, and most importantly to me, lots of good ones in the middle.

The shop is beautiful- very modern, very tidy, ever so tasteful and the selection is vast! Garrett and Max helped me and were excellent! Clearly Garrett absolutely loves what he does. Buying glasses has, for me, always been torture. I have a very thin face and really struggle finding anything small enough. And I like very plain, very subtle, very classic frames. When I explained this, these two gentlemen culled their collections and provided me with close to a dozen choices. I was flabbergasted! And once I tried them all, I still found I had several choices - any of which I would have been pleased with. They were extremely helpful, kind, polite and really funny as well, and I thoroughly enjoyed the experience. The price is not cheap, but I believe you get what you pay for. When I received a text letting me know my glasses were ready, I arrived fully anticipating several adjustments. Max got the glasses and I put them on- perfection! Not a single adjustment was necessary! And the lenses are incredible. The crispness of my vision is almost beyond description! This is a wonderful eyewear boutique! Go there! For me, this was the most pleasant experience buying glasses I have ever had! Kudos to both Garrett and Max for being just outstanding! Thank you for a wonderful experience. You two are awesome!
