If you don't want to feed the Luxottica monster (my friend G told me that they dominate the the…read moremarket, as well as own LensCrafters and Sunglass Hut), iiis is a perfect way to rebel. The design of the shop is quite funky and artsy (be careful not to fall into the pit!) and has all of the frames out so you can try them on as you like. I hate when all the frames are under lock and key; it really hinders the trying-on process. I checked out a couple of eyeglasses places in Birmingham and found myself drawn to the more obscure and unique frames at iiis. No Ray-Ban, Prada, or Vogue here. The ladies are all very nice and are very helpful and patient if you take hours to decide on your frames (ahem, me). Low pressure sales tactics. They are happy to help to find frames or if you want to browse solo, that's okay too. Plus they will even write down the glasses you're considering, both in their book and on a little card for you to take home. I'm not crazy about the location of Five Points but at least it's centrally located. iis is a little more expensive than what you might pay at other places but rest easy in the knowledge that you've got a very special pair of frames and are supporting a locally-owned shop. I did consider buying eyeglasses online but you just can't get personalized service like this online. This is great if you need adjustments later on. I'm very happy with my handcrafted-in-the-USA hipster specs!

I couldn't get it to see my regular optimist so I called them for a last minute appointment. Not only did the receptionist put me at ease, but the doctor provided tons of feedback, solutions, and prescribed a regime that cleared it right up. A few weeks later my boyfriend and I returned for an eye exam. My boyfriend is legally blind and has trouble with optometrists in the past, but he loved Red Mountain Eye Care. They were friendly, easy-going, and really listened to the problems he was having with his vision. I would highly recommend this great practice!

I cannot recommend Dr. Gagnon and his staff enough! Not only did they explain the ranges of why my…read moreinsurance would cover and what I would be responsible for, they also never tried to talk me into the "high-end" of anything from the lenses to the frames. There was no pressure to buy anything from them at all. The prices of their frames are a fraction of what I was used to at my former eye care facility and I was truly impressed by everyone I worked with. Dr. Gagnon performed a thorough exam and helped me to understand the changes my eyes have gone through and helped determine the perfect prescription for me. I will definitely be going back and recommending Red Mountain Eye Care to everyone I know!

I came in with a return of some RayBans I ordered online, and they quickly did the return and helped me find a cool new pair that worked better for me. I have some inquiries about the stocking at this location, which is smaller (less stock) than some other ones I've been to. Who is buying all of these mirrored pit-viper, oakley, gaudy color, wrap around, sports glasses? Are there that many professional fishermen in Birmingham? This is the only occasion these glasses seem acceptable for. It seems like 1/4 of the store is covered in these. Apologies if this is un-hip of me. And another thing: the stock here seems exceedingly expensive. It seems like other Sunglass Hut locations and online carry brands that are more affordable ($50-$150 range). I think they should carry a bit more of this and a bit less designer in store. I don't appreciate the tactic to make you spend more by only offering expensive glasses. I ended up purchasing a pair which the sample fit wonderful in store, but by the time I put them on in my car after I left, I noticed were very crooked on me. I brought them back a couple hours later and the wonderful saleswoman attempted to adjust them, but they were too cattywampus and we ended up just ordering a fresh pair to my house. I learned my lesson to always try on the pair you're actually taking home! Oh well, such is life.
