Amazing service from a great team of professionals. Everybody has been working diligently on getting me some tinted eyewear the past few years. The prescriptions always come out great. Tints can be tricky, but they really help with my vision and Exotic Eyewear handles the challenges perfectly. Their selection is very broad and unique. I always see new exciting frames. Their prices are very reasonable. Highly recommended and great value. read more

Terrible customer service and glasses are overpriced. I've been waiting over a month for my trial contact lenses. I've never left an exam without trials--let alone had to wait this long. I've called multiple times and keep being told there was a shipping issue due to weather and that they should arrive "in a few days." When I called back a week later, I got the same answer and never received any follow-up. I understand things happen -- they're just contacts, it's not the end of the world -- but the lack of communication and customer service is disappointing. I ordered online through Target Optical and received them in a week. I won't be returning here. read more

I didn't even have to step foot into this place to experience their terrible customer service. I simply called to ask a basic question, and from the very beginning I was met with an awful attitude. The person on the phone was rude, impatient, and responded in a very abrupt and aggressive manner, as if my call was an inconvenience. If this is how they treat potential customers over the phone, I can only imagine how they treat people in person. First impressions matter, and this one was extremely negative. I would not recommend this place to anyone looking for professional or respectful service. read more

Welcomed when walked in. Very nice glass showcase . Great selection With all the glasses you may need or want. All the name brands, displayed . The service was so kind. I was given a sample of glass cleaner, it was a nice size bottle. read more

Amazing selection of eyewear and staff Tatiana, owner Pannos, in house lens manufacturer. The best I've found and I've been in Florida since 1991. Very professional and upscale. No attitudes!!! read more

Great selection, had to wait for sales person but once it was my turn, he was excellent

I did not actually purchase glasses here, but one of their salespeople helped me fix a pair of glasses I really like. They were super gracious and wouldn't let me pay. There was a great selection of glasses, and I hope I can return and buy glasses here soon. read more

The service was wonderful and quick. They are privately owned and did not try to sell me extra. The value of changing my lenses in my favorite frames after cataract surgery was exactly what I wanted. Their selection is plentiful and high end too. read more

After losing my glasses in the ocean (don't ask), I went to LensCrafters as that's where my vision "insurance" allowed me. After a very long wait, and an agent who absolutely couldn't seem to work their high-tech iPad point of sale system, I was quoted $670 for a pair of Ray-Ban rimless glasses with lenses. With insurance, it was $490. Honestly this was completely out of my price point, and I wasn't willing to subsidize the crazy LensCrafters markup game I've played in the past. I started walking home, and though I'd pop into Exotic Eyewear to see what they had, which ironically I --passed-- on my way to LensCrafters. I asked if they had rimless glasses, and was shown several options. I was very candid with the representative that I really didn't want to spend over $300. He showed me several frames that were $100, and the lenses only added another $179. Done. No more gimmicks, add-ons, coatings, services, whatever. Better yet, I was able to choose any shape/size lens in the store. They cut and process everything right on-site, so there's tons of flexibility and options. When I picked up the glasses, they took their time carefully adjusting them to my face as well. What would have taken at least 10 business days at the big box store took three business days at Exotic Eyewear for under $300 out the door with amazing service. I will absolutely be back, and I'm most likely done with the LensCrafters scam forever. Don't waste your time anywhere else; just go here and be done with it. You'll be glad you did. read more

Exotic Eyewear Optical - Optometrists Near Me - Fort Lauderdale, Florida

Setvice was great. I would choose this company over others. They had a good selection of well priced glasses.

Expensive and they talk a good talk but when we got the glasses after we sent them back twice the lenses still were not correct There answer was "NEW YORKERS ARE TO CRITICAL" read more

Very helpful staff and honest work. A simple repair done in a timely manner at a reasonable price. Anthony

Going here rorschach several years and will continue to do so. Panos and Tatiana are beyond Great.The care and concern is unparalleled

You couldn't ask for better service always with a smile; Panos' selection is vast enough to satisfy a broad sector of people.

Great place! Great service! They have a wide variety to choose from and they have a great staff that was very helpful in letting me try many different frames before I found the one that worked for me. The prescription came back and was not perfect but they made it perfect for me. They wanted to make sure I was happy above all else! I highly recommend this place for your casual and necessary eyewear! I worked with Leia. I called her princess Leia because she was so sweet and accommodating! read more

This really is the most amazing place when it comes to customer service and quality products. They are so attentive and really take the time to help you find the best options, even outside of the warranty period. My mom is so picky and I probably took her to five different places before we came here. The owner spent the time to walk us through options and we ended up getting glasses that she loves which we probably would have missed without his help. I won't shop anywhere else even if it's cheaper read more

Are you looking for value for your money? Excellent service? Best possible fit? This is what I was looking for when I found Exotic Eyewear. I've worn eyeglasses for over 50 years and now need progressive lenses. I didn't know what a difference it made to have both the glasses and lenses perfectly fitted for me. Panos (the owner) has helped me find the right frames and is meticulous in measuring and fitting each one. You will find a vast selection of frames for every budget. The excellent service that you get from each employee, not just the owner, is unequaled. Once you experience the difference, you will never want to go anywhere else. read more

I have been going here since 2002 or 2003 & I always will as long as the owner maintains his consistent pursuit of excellence that I have grown accustomed to. Panos has hired a complimentary staff to suit his brand of customer satisfaction. From my very first frame I've received compliments from too many to list. You'll be in good hands here, Go!

I was in Ft Lauderdale for work when my Ray Ban sunglasses broke, the side arm came off and I lost the little tiny screw. I went to the Sunglasses Hut in downtown Ft Lauderdale and they were completely unhelpful (even though I had purchased my sunglasses at a Sunglasses Hut) I happened by Exotic Eyewear and decided to give it a shot as being in FLL is not fun without descent eyewear! I explained the situation to Ahmad and he was so helpful! He fixed them in like 5 minutes. I couldn't believe it. In this new covid world, I find almost everyone to completely unhelpful and no one has any customer service any more. It was so nice to finally visit a store that had friendly, helpful staff. I would most definitely buy my next pair of glasses there! Thank you read more

After reading the high praise from other reviewers I decided to visit Exotic Eyeware and am I glad I did! Tatania did a fabulous job picking out several frames to try for my "winter" coloring and she was bang on. When I went to pick them up (ready in one day which is unheard of in Canada) I asked Panos to have a look at my existing glasses that were slightly askew and only a month old ( bought in Canada). He actually took the arms off, adjusted the hinges to straighten them out. Also adjusted my sunglasses. WOW is all I can say...fantastic customer service from professionals that really do know what they are doing. Thanks Panos & Tatania!! read more

If you are looking for a wonderful selection of glasses and service, then be sure to visit Exotic Eyewear. My husband and I found great options for glasses with the help of Lea and Panos. They were meticulous about the measurements and spent time with us to make sure everything fit well, looked good and even fixed the sunglasses I was wearing that were taped together! Also, thanks to Tatiana for helping me to figure out how to get a RX corrected. read more

From the moment I walked in I was treated like a special client. I had lost my eyeglasses and was treated poorly by another business and came here after reading the Yelp reviews. Tatianna helped me find sporty and stylish frames that fit me well and did a great job of helping me price out options. No pressure tactics or games from them. Needless to say I am so pleased with my experience that this will be my new "home" for eyewear. read more

Customer service, quality, and professionalism epitomise Exotic Eye Wear. I have been going to Pano for many years and will not go anywhere else for my eye needs. There is a Len Crafter's in the plaza right next to them, and I have friends who have gone the cheaper route and got what they paid for. The great thing about Exotic Eye Wear is they can get almost any type of glasses or contacts that you want. Their selection is fantastic. Don't take my word on this. Stop in and see for yourself. I guarantee you'll be thanking me later. read more

Knowledable and pleasant people helping customers in a professional manner. Clean and spacious establishment with plenty of frame choices

Best selection of glass frames outside of NYC & Boston - all in one location. All the frames are tastefully arranged in custom made cases w/ special lighting for easy viewing. Latest forward trends. Customer service is outstanding ! Panos and his staff cater to their clients. Need that special pair of glasses for an event tomorrow? Panos will work to deliver them within your time frame. An independent retailer for 15 years - my only issue now with finding great frames is that I feel a compulsion to check out new frame arrivals every week ! read more

Love love Exotic Eyewear. Fantastic staff and professional expertise. The selection of frames is great and they filled my prescription to perfection. Can't tell you how many places that I have tried and now I will never go anywhere else. read more

For me, eyeglasses (frames) are one of the most difficult things to buy. Definitely not the case here. It was actually difficult to make a decision as there were quite a few that I liked, never the case for me in other optical stores. The staff, particularly Panos and Tatiana, were incredibly accommodating and patient. I highly recommend, if they were six stars they would get it from me. read more

I walked in with a fellow coworker who was ordering glasses. I had no intentions of getting glasses just yet, but I walked out with a lot of brands and styles in mind for the future as well as a free microfiber cloth to clean my glasses! The staff is knowledgeable and will tell you their thoughts. They are very good at what they do and I will come and get my next pair of glasses from here with that level of service! read more

Look no further because no other shop even comes close to selection, care and service. Beautiful new shop just opened My wife and I would never consider any other place to buy our glasses. 5 stars read more

I found Exotic Eyewear while looking for new lenses for my Raybans. Lucia originally gave me a quote and then the owner himself ended up placing the order for me. Everything happened within a couple days and went as smooth as possible. The best glasses/lens purchase I have ever experienced. Excellent customer service. read more

The kindness shown by the owner and all his staff, is bar none. If anyone in that store was ever having a bad day, no one would ever know it. You are greeted, and said goodbye to, with a genuine smile. And the quality of the product is top of the line, worth every penny, and backed 100%. I live in Milwaukee Wisconsin but buy my glasses at Exotic Eyewear:-) Love this place!! Robin Phillips read more

I can't say enough about the great service. Price is very reasonable for the quality of product and selection. On one of my special ordered sunglasses they had a delay because of supply chain issues and they gave me a temporary pair of free lenses so that I could use my glasses. It was my exact prescription so they could not use them for anyone else when I returned them when my special order came in. That was an additional cost to them but it made me feel like I was the most important customer in the world. I highly recommend that you check them out. read more

I recommend this business. I walked in at a whim searching for a frame. My existing ones were hanging on by a thread. The assistant tried her best but nothing fit or looked quite right as I was basically looking for the same glasses as I was wearing. Panos went above and beyond to help. He went so far as to fix my existing frames so they were no longer hanging on by a thread and would last me until I found a suitable frame. This kind of customer service is extremely rare. I was not an existing client, I was someone who walked in off the street. I was extremely grateful and will be back to get my new lenses done. read more

I was in need of a new pair of glasses so naturally I asked around for recommendations. Exotic Eyewear was nearby and got the thumbs up. The shop is in a brand new location (used to be located across the street) and they have walls of glasses and sunglasses from Silhouette to DG, Rayban and Oakley. I brought in my prescription and within 10 minutes tried on what seemed like more than 30 frames and lens styles. (Ended up settling on a pair of Silhouettes.) Sales staff is very accommodating and didn't mind at all that I tried on the same four pairs over and over again to make sure of my decision. From there the glasses were sized and molded to fit perfectly. My experience could not have been any better! read more

This is hands down the best place for frames and lenses. And not only just because of the huge selection, not only just because they are brilliant at helping you find the right fit and shape for your face and lifestyle, but because the owner, Panos, and staff genuinely care about helping you. I'm picky and will try on 100 pairs before deciding because I'm never sure what I want. I walked in and bought the first 2 pair Loukia brought me to try on. They were that PERFECT! Save yourself time, money and hassle and go here first. read more

Got 2 pairs from them today, staff is extremely helpful and friendly. I will recommend !!

I was in Ft. Lauderdale for my daughter's wedding and had been experiencing soreness near nose bridge. One of the nose pads was missing. Exotic Eyewear was one of 3 eyewear stores near where I was staying. I called and they sounded friendly, helpful and capable. At the store I met Lisa who looked at my glasses and said it would take a few minutes. When I returned, she gave my glasses back with 2 new nose pads. She did not charge me for the service. Wow, what a surprise! This place is the best!! read more
