I had a pair of new temple tips. Put on my vintage ray ben middle framed sunglasses and had them cleaned when I came into pick him up. Carol did an excellent job pulling the tips on and cleaning the frame. She went above and beyond. Trying to find these tips that I needed. Because I could not find them anywhere. She was very kind and patient. I highly recommend going to oakland fashion optical.. Robert Bodziak read more

I have absolutely no complains about my experience with Oakland Fashion Optical. The staff was friendly, knowledgeable, and patient (I must have tried on 25 different frames). They had an excellent selection, and the optometrist definitely seemed to know what he's doing. In the end I decided on a slick frame from which to build my prescription sunglasses, which had a number of particular options added. I was very pleased with the results, as well as the reasonable pricing. Thank you OFO! read more

Coming in the store off the street you feel like you just entered some kind of calm glasses oasis. The store has a medium-sized but really nice selection of frames at a variety of price points, and plenty of interesting frames beyond your standard issue chain eyeglass store selection. (I came here specifically to check out some Modo brand frames when I saw on the Modo website that they are an authorized retailer). I ended up buying a pair of very reasonably priced sunglasses. While I didn't fulfill my sunglasses prescription there, the owner said most of the lens work is done in-house which is convenient. I generally find glasses shopping to be pretty stressful, and if you do too, I would suggest checking out this place for a refreshing change from the usual experience! read more

Have been going here for my last few prescriptions. They offer very personalized service to help you pick your "best" look. The last couple pair I've picked have been LA styles, though I've found some nice looks from Japan and Italy there too. Highly recommend. read more

See all

Excellent work on new lenses for my antique frames. True craftsmanship and I plan on going back for all my optical needs. read more

Oakland Fashion Optical - Eyewear & Opticians Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

My glasses acquired a bad scratch across the center of my vision on a Monday. I needed a replacement ASAP. I used the online appointment form and explained the situation. Later in the day I received a voicemail informing me that the earliest appointment would be on Thursday. When I called back the next day to confirm, I reiterated that the glasses were needed quickly as I would be working without them until then. I mentioned I'd take anything they had. They repeated that Thursday was the soonest they could have me in and that I wouldn't receive glasses for another week or better. I found another shop that fit me in for an exam that day. Got my eye exam and ordered glasses online with rush delivery (not covered and expensive). I then sent Oakland Fashion an email letting them know that I would need to cancel the appointment. Very shortly after I received a reply from the owner informing me that they process glasses in house and for emergency situations they offer same day or next day service. This would have been helpful had the staff mentioned it over our multiple correspondences. The omission of this service cost me time, money, and four working days without glasses (migraines included at no extra cost to the customer). read more

This has been my eye doctor since I moved from the Detroit area 3 years ago. They go above and beyond for their customers. I chose them because I liked the style of their eyewear. I like a more updated, urban style of glasses and I always find more than I was looking for when I come here. The prices are good and they are cognizant of budgets without compromising your needs. I also support them because they are a small business and the owner is very down to earth. They always fit me in and no need has gone unattended since they've been my eye doctor. read more

Oakland Fashion Optical - My newest glasses - Eyewear & Opticians Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

You'll get personal and competent service at this small shop on Craig Street. The glasses won't be cheap, but they also won't break the bank. Most important, they will look good and will be great quality; and if you have a problem, you'll get all the attention you need to make it right. I've shopped other places where the sales people are too bored to spend the time it takes to find the right style. That won't happen here, and I like every pair I've bought. The glasses are great and the service is better. Once I settled on this place, I became loyal. read more

This isn't where I normally go for eye care but I was in a bind. I needed to study for my midterms but wouldn't you know it, I lose a screw in my glasses. So I quickly google map the closest eye care facility and it turned out to be this cozy looking place. The moment I walked in I was greeted with the friendliest hello. I told him that I had lost a screw from the hinge of my glasses and he took one look and said he'd take it to the back and it would be fixed it in a few minutes. Now usually when someone says that those few minutes really means much more but nope. In a manner of minutes he came back with my glasses fixed and looking nicer than ever! read more

"OFO." This establishment is fantastic for all eye-ware needs. Not the "cookie-cutter," "run of the mill" items one might find at the chain or department store eye centers. The owner and staff take good care to provide specialized service and are well trained to understand and meet the needs of their customers and fit them with flattering frames which are aesthetically pleasing and complimentary to the face. High fashion and unique eye-ware, along with specialty need services make this a great place to shop. Being treated as a welcomed part of an "extended family," while supporting small business in the local community and City of Pittsburgh, make "OFO" the place to support. A variety of great shops and dining are within steps of "OFO," as well. I have been having my eye-ware needs met at "OFO" for many years and have relocated from one end of the United States to the other. I continue to choose "OFO" and doubt I'll ever change my mind. I always receive compliments on my glasses or questions about where they came from. It's nice to wear fashionable glasses that look great. Also I find prices to be affordable but it is easy to carried away because of all the great selection. I encourage anyone to stop in and look about the store. It will be hard to leave without making a purchase. read more

All of the staff at Oakland Fashion Optical were incredibly nice and really took care of me!! I am a filmmaker and visual artist by trade, and am quite particular about my glasses, they have to be perfect. Clearly this is the best eyeglass boutique in town. read more

I've been going here for twenty years. Not only is Dr. Cole great, he does a thorough examination, which I need due to MS. The staff is always very nice and helpful. Their selection of glasses are very unique, which I love. I always get compliments on them and never have any problems with them. I would recommend this place to everyone! read more

Oakland Fashion Optical has been caring for my eyes since 2009. I would never dream of going anywhere else, and I currently live in Florida! Not only is the owner, David, a joy to work with; but he is a master Optician. He orders and cuts most lenses by hand in his lab in the back to fit your chosen frame. I have seen him work miracles in old frames as well as hard to fill frames that other places will not re-lens. He will always go the extra mile to make sure your glasses fit right, are Rxed right, and are comfortable for you to wear. I have never had an issue with glasses that he has made, and I am not easy on my glasses! Dr. Cole, the Optometrist, is kind and very thorough with your exam, and he has always gotten my Rx right the first time! The staff is always so friendly, knowledgeable and helpful! The frame selection cannot be beat, and they carry frames that range from your everyday styles to fashion-forward, crazy unique frames that you simply cannot find anywhere else- the biggest problem is picking just one! Their prices are very competitive and they even offer student discounts! As I said above, I still use OFO, even though I now live across the country. Why go anywhere but the best? read more

I'm surprised how bad my experience was considering all the good reviews this place had. I went here to get an eye exam, as I had a time-sensitive need for a prescription. I had to wait two weeks for an appointment time that worked for me (not their fault--just due to my busy schedule). When I arrived, I was informed that the doctor does not give out prescriptions the day of. Instead, he gives you a trial pair of contacts and insists you wear them for at least a week to determine if they are the best fit for you. Then you have to schedule a follow-up appointment, and only at this follow-up appointment will you receive your prescription. I had sent a few emails back and forth with staff while trying to schedule the appointment, so why they waited until I arrived to inform me of that is beyond me. At this point, I assumed it would be faster to schedule the follow-up and get my prescription then instead of rescheduling somewhere else entirely, so I go through with the exam. The exam itself was fine and the eye doctor was kind, but it all felt like a weird sales pitch for the brand of contacts he was forcing me to try for a week before I could get my prescription. I am assuming they get some kind of cut if we order this new brand through them afterwards, which is a totally inappropriate and unprofessional in my opinion. Although I was annoyed, I figured I'd jump through the hoops to get my prescription. I put the new contacts on at home and, not only did they feel extremely uncomfortable, almost like they didn't fit my eyes, but they also were not my proper prescription. It was so off that I could not wear them even if I wanted to, because my vision was too blurry. I did not go back for my follow-up exam, as I had lost trust in the doctor's ability to determine my accurate prescription, and also was worried I'd be told to "test run" a new pair of contacts before I could get my prescription. The whole affair was a total waste of time (and money). I rescheduled elsewhere and got my prescriptions before the end of that week. read more

Although the lady at the front desk was patient and nice initially when she helped me pick out frames, the eye doctor was a tad rude as was another member of the office staff. They did not get my prescription correct after I went twice and then were unhelpful and rude to me when I complained that I was still unable to see. I ordered glasses, contacts, and sunglasses spending almost 750 dollars AFTER insurance. Expensive. It was also a long wait and took a long time to get my glasses in. I am frustrated and will not return. read more

I stopped in yesterday for the first time and was super impressed by the friendly, attentive and knowledgable staff. The selection of high quality frames was so great that I purchased 2 pairs. I was immediately at ease and never felt pressured to make a selection and felt that I was guided towards the best decision for me. The prices are also very reasonable for such great quality products. I have already recommended Oakland Fashion Optical to my daughter and will not hesitate to recommend it to others. read more
