If you're looking for unique, stylish and beautiful optical frames or sunglasses, you must come here. Glasses offers many niche eyewear brands like Dita, Salt, Matsuda, Mykita, Iyoko Inyake, Robert Marc, just to name a few. Several of which are hand-made. If you're looking for Liz Claiborne frames, this store might not be for you. I have been hunting for a frame to replace my Tom Fords. I stopped by Glasses to check out their selection. I was assisted by Neda, who was very helpful and patient. Frank, their bulldog mascot, gave very valuable non-verbal feedback. The staff was very friendly, professional and honest. They'll tell you if the frame doesn't work for your face. Who wants to be stuck with glasses that aren't flattering? It's a major decision! People are going to notice your glasses first. I didn't get anything but I wanted to rave about their selection and the customer service. I'd totally recommend them for eyewear needs. You'll have the coolest glasses at work, polar plunges and bar mitzvahs and you'll look damn fine wearing them. read more

I don't usually write or post any reviews but after receiving the customer service that I've gotten, I feel compelled to write a review. Tina was very personable and such a great help! Very informative about all the brands (very good selection of frames btw). Just a great all around experience! I highly recommend Glasses, LTD on Oak Street, Chicago read more

I wanted one of a kind quality eyeglass frames for a new prescription. This was the place. Tina was phenomenal in helping me pick out the perfect Cutler and Gross pair. They were expensive but it was worth the money. Wish I would have discovered this shop a long time ago as I live in the North suburbs of Chicago. So it was a hike to drive there, but so worth it. read more

Avoid Glasses, Ltd if you have a high prescription. Make sure they take all the right sight measurements before you leave and the end of the day their lenses are processed in Lenses Crafters. read more

I am so appreciative of this glasses shop !!! Team was friendly and incredibly helpful ! Great selection as well. I won't be getting eyewear from anywhere else ! read more

Best service ever! Came in to get my sunglasses fixed and it was done in minutes! The gentleman was so nice. Definitely go to this place for the amazing selection and top tier service! They really value their customers here. read more

This is without a doubt THE best place to go to. Customer service is uncanny here at this business. Zach Winitz is without the shadow of a doubt one of the most friendly, outgoing business owners I've come in contact with. He really helps the customer/potential client out. Top brands & great prices! read more

Just an an amazing store with great customer service! I definitely will be back for a second pair! read more

Glasses, Ltd - Just love this store and the service is amazing! - Eyewear & Opticians Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

This is the same Glasses Ltd as at 900 N Michigan: Glasses Ltd is a classic Chicago handshake-deal-they-know-your-family kind of place. They don't sell glasses, they sell ~eye solutions~. Throughout the life of your glasses, you can come in for tightening of screws or otherwise small refits. My ears are at different heights, and I've always had to futz with my glasses myself to make it feel right, but Tal did the adjustment for me right in the store! Moreover, they do not try to upsell you for the sake of their profit, like so many other glasses stores try to do. read more

Super helpful! Friendly service and helped adjust my glasses on the spot when my options seemed limited. Wil be coming back

After being told by Prada (where I bought my glasses) there was nothing they could to to help my fiancé's bent frames, I walked in Glasses, Ltd.. I was met by Viv, the store manager who was super helpful. She fixed the frames within a matter of minutes. Viv was super lovely and I'll definitely be purchasing my glasses from her from her on out! read more

Wow great customer experience. Walked in and Vivian took care of my glasses repair and cleaning immediately. My lens had been wiggling for months and other places hadn't been able to make it work. She fixed it and made them look like new. She's a pro - made a bunch of suggestions about lens and glass care to keep them strong going forward. Highly recommend! read more

What an amazing Web site! I was able to get everything I needed from it -- glasses, eye exam, practical advice and more! Thanks!!

Tal is the best! His customer service is impeccable and he really knows his stuff. Definitely coming back to see him again for all my frame needs :) read more

I've been coming to Glasses Ltd for ALL my eye-ware for the past several years, and it's no surprise that I CONSTANTLY get comments about my glasses and my shades. I've literally gotten stopped on the streets by strangers asking about my frames, and it is always my pleasure to tell them, "Oh, I got them at Glasses Ltd on Oak Street!" Consistent with the vast majority of reviewers, I found the staff to be overly-helpful, friendly, and extremely knowledgable about style, fashion and even beauty--what looks good one someone might not necessarily look good on you. They actually take the time to find the pair that make you look like a million bucks, so that when you walk out that door and climb up those steps, you FEEL like a million bucks too. I honestly can't think of a place that has the type of selection that this place offers. While they can be on the pricy side, in my experience, they have something outstanding for every budget, because they care about their customers. If you need glasses, go there. You won't be disappointed!! read more

Glasses, Ltd - Lovin my new Thom Browne's! - Eyewear & Opticians Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

We had a wonderful experience, thank you so much for your help; the gentleman in the store fixed my Tiffany glasses in a few minutes, he was very knowledgeable and friendly, thank you again, we appreciate it and highly recommend the store. read more

I somehow lost a hex but out of one of my really expensive frames and had been to a couple different places trying to get them fixed. I forgot the young lady's name but she was stellar with her customer service. I left them with her and she had them fixed before I knew it AT NO CHARGE!!! I will definitely be patronizing them in the future! read more

This place is the best of the best. I'm old school and always appreciate great customer service. The staff was amazing very knowledgeable and friendly. They took time to make sure I had the perfect pair of glasses that felt good and look fantastic. I highly recommend this place to everyone. Thanks Zack for making my experience great! read more

My experience with optic store Glasses Ltd on Oak street Chicago. I ordered two sets of prescription eyeglasses separated by about 40 days. They were to be the exact same progressive lens with Varilux X-Series High Index (HD) 1.74. Both eyeglasses that I received from the Glasses Ltd were without the Certificate of Authenticity cards and were HD 1.67 lenses. An independent optic shop pointed out that my eyeglasses were made with HD 1.67 lenses. After talking to Glasses Ltd, they refunded to me the cost differences and for the inconvenience caused to me. I was told by Glasses Ltd that the Optical Lab substituted the less expensive version of lenses on both pair of eyeglasses without informing Glasses Ltd. It seems improbable to me that their Optic Lab would make the same exact substitutional error twice on my eyeglasses in that time period. I should not have to examine the unique laser engraving symbols inside the lenses to confirm the purchase orders. I would recommend confirming your orders with another optic shop. I felt I was misled by this disappointing experience. read more

Unbelievably friendly staff and very good at fitting sunglasses! I bought a pair of sunglasses at a designer that looked great, but didn't fit as well! After visiting limited, I could wear the glasses confidently all day without having to keep adjusting them on my face. Ask for Zach! He is a master of glasses and super nice to work with! read more

I'm a man who is all about customer service and this place provided that. I was headed out of town for a business meeting and through all the chaos, I dropped and broke my glasses. What are the odds of that? I must've spent 30 seconds looking at the ground in disbelief. My flight was at 6:15pm, it's literally 2pm and I have no glasses so I asked Siri "Where is the closets glasses store?" She led me to Glasses LTD. I won't bore you with the details of the introduction but I have to admit they were good. I told the owner Zach(?) that I needed my glasses before leaving to airport but he didn't know i meant that day....like in a few hours. After I told him, it seemed as if he looked at my face and picked out a few pair he thought I'd look good in. I wanted a new style because I had those glasses for 5 years so after describing my old pair, he made sure the selection was different. He didn't try to sell me on extra features, he just wanted me to have a good pair that I can use for another 5 plus years. It was 2:45 and I said I was leaving to the airport at 4. He assured me that I will be okay and he will call me in 45mins to an hr tops when the rush order was complete, which he did. Here's the best part, when they called to tell me the glasses were ready he instantly followed up by asking me where I was and he will personally drop them off for me. I gave him my work address and upon leaving he was standing there with my glasses. It was a perfect sight. The glasses guy and my cab. I grabbed the glasses, thanked him VERY briefly and went on to the airport. If the people at Glasses LTD. are reading this, I want to thank you and apologize for being in a rush when you dropped off my glasses. I will forever be a customer and recommend this place to any and everyone. If customer service were this good with my phone and cable bill, life would be easy. Again, thanks. read more

Incredible service and great selection. I didn't buy my frames or lenses here; I'm in Chicago on business travel and dropped in for an adjustment. Tal did a fantastic job adjusting my Lunor frames - spent time to ensure lenses were properly aligned with my pupils. If you've had misaligned lenses before, you'll know how important it is to get this right. I have a very high, narrow bridge but he knew exactly what to do for a perfect, comfortable fit. Not only are they comfy, I see better now. Tal also spent a lot of time explaining the features of my frames - I never knew they used silk to give the acetate flexibility! He advised me on how to properly clean and defog them. Critical for someone who lives in the tropics. Tal and his colleagues clearly have a passion for eyewear and optics. My father was an eye surgeon and owned an optical shop - yet I learned more from Tal in 10 minutes than I ever learned from my dad. And for all the advice, the adjustment, and cleaning solution, Tal charged me exactly $0. If I didn't live halfway around the world, this would be my regular optical shop, with no other shop even coming close. Fantastic job Tal and thank you for getting my frames fixed! read more

Simply the best in the game. I've been an avid eyewear collector for over a decade and have purchased eyewear from all over the country. Everywhere from LA, NYC and Miami. Zach and his team in Chicago are by far the best for service, selection and sales. Truly a class act that specializes on meeting the customers specific needs. I will be stopping by next time I'm in the area. read more

I had such a good experience coming to Glasses, LTD. They were super helpful and willing to go above and beyond to fix my glasses!

Took my son's Ray Bands in for repair. He thought they were beyond hope since both lenses had popped out. After ten minutes of work the glasses are all back together. Well worth the money. They also have so cool looking frames for my next pair. Thanks for saving me from having to buy another pair of sunglasses for my son. read more

Needed to get a screw replaced on my trusty pair of ray bans that I've had for years now. Vivian was not only very friendly and professional but she fixed them in no time and didn't charge me a dime! My go to shop for anything glasses for now on! read more

Best service of any glasses shop I've been to in years. The management has always gone above and beyond for anything I've needed - both for glasses and contacts. Plus, I found a pair of glasses that I hadn't found anywhere else here. Have received many compliments on them, something I haven't really had happen in over 20 years of wearing glasses. With all of the pains that can go along with finding and ordering glasses and contacts, they make it SO easy. Will always come back! read more

Ill be honest, when I was in school I worked PT at a Lenscrafters. So that being said maybe Im a little harder to please than your average customer. However, the people who work here seem to be completely inept. But hey, at least they give you that unmistakeable passive/aggressive Oak street attitude right?! And thank god they had the vision to charge way more than competitors for the same product! /sarcasm off... As I look down at Peggys review I know EXACTLY what she was talking about. To be fair, they did have some outstanding frames. Its a shame they are staffed by , to quote Peggy (sorry but she nailed it) sub adequate personnel. Optica here I come... read more

I just purchased a pair of Barton Perreira glasses from Glasses Ltd. They are absolutely stunning and I have received so many compliments on them. The two women who helped me were so attentive and they really know about their product. They have a great eye for which frames would look best on my face and I really felt like they went above and beyond to make sure I left with everything exactly as I wanted it. I highly recommend the HD lense. For the first time in my life I have stopped wearing my contacts and my eyes feel so much more comfortable. Thank you, Glasses LTD!!! read more

Can't say enough good things about the selection and the great service. I've had great success both here and their Michigan Ave location. I would heartily recommend to anyone in the market for new glasses or to repair or update their old ones. read more

I was in town for a conference and managed to damage one of my contact lenses. I didn't have a backup. I called this shop and within an hour I had a complimentary pair. Great service. read more

Just bought new lenses for my Mykita frames. They are perfect. Service was great. I've gotten my glasses from Glasses, Ltd., for decades and would recommend them to anyone who wants to get compliments on their eyewear (and see well, too, of course). read more

Some of the best service I've had in any retail establishment. I'm kind of a glasses connoisseur and found that they have one of the best selections of frames in the city and they carry some exclusive and unique frames that no one else carries. Kudos to you glasses, LTD. Open a store on the north shore so I don't have to travel downtown anymore. read more

I'm a long time customer and always leave glasses ltd fully satisfied. They have a great selection of high end eye-wear that I haven't been able to find anywhere else. I find the thing that separates them is the consistent quality of their products. They seem to always have the newest and most cutting edge products available. The employees are also extremely helpful. They are very nice and knowledgeable. read more

I am writing this review for my father, who insisted that I comment on how great his experience was at the Oak Street Glasses, Ltd. store. He said that the manager was extremely helpful, and that his overall experience was great. He is loving his Vue dc CAT reading glasses. Thanks Glasses, Ltd...he will be back! read more

I cannot say enough good about this place. The service is exceptional, the frames in store are unsurpassed as far as design and quality go. I got three frames with varying tints, polarization, flash mirror coating, and the new digital technology. It is like a whole new viewing experience. read more

This place is great!! This review is especially for the amazing Tal. Everyone is super friendly and helpful. But Tal is something else! He's informative and knows his stuff! Come here for your eye exams , contacts , lens and sunglasses! Thank you Tal for putting my eyes in check!! read more

This is a destination for anyone looking for fabulous fashionable eye wear! The staff is incredibly helpful and friendly. They have fixed my glasses at no charge. It's worth taking a look inside if you are in the neighborhood. read more

Really appreciated the store manager, that changed out my frames at no cost! (Background: I have eyeglasses that can have two different frame colors, but the color change needs a little doing. For comparison, another eyeglass shop in Chicago charged me $10 for the same service, and did not do the change properly.) read more

So much to love about this place. Best selection in the city and great service. Loyal for years!!
