Love this store, they have the best employees. They are so friendly, plus the eye doc is great too! Great experience!

Jessica and Erin were fabulous. Very professional but friendly and engaging. They listened attentively to my needs. I really appreciated the time they had spent with me. My eyeglasses came in sooner than expected and it feels like I'm even wearing them so clear. read more

Just got a new pair of glasses at See in Birmingham! Rikka was awesome!! She made sure that I picked out the frames that were just perfect for me! The staff was amazing as well. Rikka will now be my new "go to" for glasses!! See is the Best!!! read more

SEE Eyewear is the ONLY place to get your vision care. I have been a SEE shopper for a few years now and they are yet to disappoint! From INCREDIBLE customer service to the most stylish eyewear... the ambiance is clean and inviting and the prices are extremely reasonable for the merchandise and care you receive. If you have an opportunity to go, please ask for BRETT. You will NOT be disappointed. read more

SEE - Optometrists Near Me - Birmingham, Michigan

I love this place. I can't help it. I'm addicted to See. Since the review, I came back for my eye exam. The ophthalmologist who did the exam was really competent, laid back, and thorough. And it was pretty cheap, under $100 with scripts for both contacts and glasses. Though, the best part of See are the AWESOME and cheap frames. OK, get this, every single pair of glasses you pick up that is the TOTAL price. I mean WITH lenses. If you want lenses that aren't polycarb or you want anti-glare on them, that's a little bit more. The ladies who work there really know their products. And they helped my poor friend pick out some new glasses. All frames that he would have eventually pick out himself. Really helpful, wonderful, knowledgeable staff. They have some awesome sales and coupons, so if I were you, I'd sign up for those annoying emails to get in on the deals. My friend came in with a $100 off coupon and got his glasses with anti-glare for $220. I got a new pair with anti-glare that were 50% off for $200. $200! That's UNREAL! Why would you go to Lenscrafters? So you can have a Armani on the frames? These glasses are funky, like European cool, without their brand name stamped on the glasses. So... if you want to pay $400 for Armani frames and another $200 for lenses at Macy's or Lenscrafters... by all means. Do it. But you will find very similar frames, and even COOLER frame styles, for a fraction of the price at See. Note: Their store in the Somerset is really tiny without any selection. Come to the Birmingham store to really get a great selection. read more

We are so fortunate to have one of the best SEE locations here in B'ham. I have been to other locations (mainly in NYC) but have never felt as cared for or comfortable as I do here. Most recently I had the pleasure of working with Nina. Everyone raves about her here and I agree with them. She makes you feel cared for from the moment you step foot in the door. She also works with you to find the best frames....working within your budget, picking out styles that you may not have chosen for yourself. I adore this location and feel that it's worth traveling to come here. You won't be sorry! read more

I ordered glasses and refused to pick them up when they did not meet with my satisfaction. I asked the salesman to return the glasses and to credit my account. Now when I called to make sure I had my credit on record still they said NO. They said I forgot to pick up my glasses and they could not give me a credit because of the time lapse. They also said they have been calling me to remind me the glasses are there. Lol. That never happened. They act like they are desperate to rip me off for the cost of a pair of glasses. read more

Staff was very snooty - as a business owner myself, I'm really not sure why they're in a people business. My dad and I walked in at 5:30 - 30 minutes before See was supposed to close. While we got a friendly greeting, it became abundantly clear that the staff did not want to be working. They were unhelpful, and condescending. When I asked one woman "What do you think of these?" she glared up from her paperwork and said "They don't fit if that's what you're asking." It was just one of many backhanded comments - highly un-pro. They didn't help either of us find any pairs of glasses. The sad part is, we were ready to spend some money. My dad was open to buying some new glasses, and so was I! We both left with a bad feeling. read more

Eye glasses at SEE are actually a fashion accessory Thankfully because when you wear glasses all day, every day you want them fun & "EYE CATCHING". But it's serious at SEE because they care about fit and function even more than I do. Their experts know exactly what frame works for your face and the lenses are excellent. NINA helped me last night and had me in & out in 30 minutes. Can't wait for my new SEEing glasses! read more

My favorite place to shop for eyewear. If you're looking for unique styles that very few others will have, this is the right place. On top of that, consistently excellent customer service knocks this out of the park me. read more

What a great place! I bought glasses there 10 years ago and still remember them. That right there is impressive. I live in CA and when I saw that there was a Groupon for SEE I was stoked. I knew I was coming to MI soon so I thought I'd go to my good ole friend SEE in B'ham instead of SF. I walked in and Lisa and Billy greeted me with their gigantic smiles and welcoming vibe. I was told to walk around, find some glasses I liked while Billy would pick some out for me. I liked that Billy found about 10 glasses in different price ranges ie he wasn't trying to sell to make money, he really did just look for glasses that would work well on my face. I ended up choosing a pair he picked and was super happy. Due to the negligence of the SF store (long story) the Groupon was only to be used there but... B'ham got right down to business. They contacted SF, squared the business end of it quickly and with a smile. I am thankful for the expertise and attitude. Not every store would have handled themselves in this way. I am looking to getting my new sexy pair of glasses this week! read more

I'm gonna keep the five star streak going because this place deserves it. Not only do I like fresh donuts, but I also like fresh eyeglasses. This is the place to go if you want fresh and quality without breaking the bank. I was initially bummed out that they didn't take my insurance, but that really didn't matter after the numbers were crunched. Here's how: 1) Frame + polycarbonate lens = what's on price tag. Yup, no surprises when the cost of the lens is unveiled. Yes. 2) Although they didn't take my insurance (VSP), they still take a hefty percentage off the price tag or have some promo going on. Yes. 3) I sent the receipt to my insurance and filled out an online claim and got a check for going to an out-of-network eye doctor. Yes. All in all don't be scurred if this place doesn't accept your insurance. The price turns out to be the same if not less than other places (I even upgraded the lens one notch). The staff is full of energy and really good at picking the right frames for you. I picked a couple of pairs and they were so on point with their additional suggestions. I give SEE a rating of five donuts...I mean stars for a vast selection of stylish and well-made eyewear. read more

I usually get my glasses at LensCrafter. I thought I'd try See, not because I was displeased with LensCrafter but because I liked a few of the styles at See. Not a good plan! Though I had my eye exam at LensCrafter, I took my prescription to See. I purchased the glasses at the Sumerset location. Ended up going back for adjusting. Adjustment didn't last so I went to the Birmingham location for adjusting. I ended up going back for adjustments 3 more times totaling 5 times. Not worth the $ nor the aggravation. Going back to LensCrafter. Lesson learned. If it ain't broke don't fix it! read more

I recently acquired my first pair of corrective eyewear, a daunting procedure under any circumstances, and could not have done so without the courteous assistance and enthusiasm of the staff at SEE B'ham. Tamara and Jackie were a great help as well as Dr.Antenucci in assisting me with what turned out to be a considerably more drawn out process than initially expected. The patience and encouraging cooperation I experienced play a huge role in situations like this, and go far beyond the normal bounds of simple customer service. Prices are very competitive and selection is excellent as well. Highly recommended. read more

Whoever said customer service is dead hasn't been to SEE in Birmingham. Rikka, in particular, but the entire staff as well, have gone out of their way to make sure I was satisfied. Thank you Rikka! (I hope I am spelling your name correctly). read more

I've been wearing eyeglasses my entire life, well, since I was about five years old anyway, so I think I may know a thing or two about shopping for and wearing eyeglasses. I've gotten them from everywhere, from the major chain to small mom and pop places. So having said that, you would be wise to take it to heart when I say that SEE is pretty flippin' amazing. Here is the deal: All the frames are labeled with a price and this price includes polycarbonate lenses, no silly pricing schemes where one way or another you don't really know what the final bill will be until after you've gone through the trouble of getting an exam and picking out frames etc. This is how eyeglass retailers get you, most of them do their best to conceal the full price until the last minute where it seems like such a big hassle to say no that you just don't. I mean who wants to do invest a couple hours into getting glasses just to walk out empty handed? Right. About the only catches are they charge extra for exams and any extras you add to your glasses like coatings etc but that is to be expected. I have a specialist and get my eye exams covered by medical insurance and you can do the same if you are smart enough to pull it off. The really killer thing at SEE is the clearance rack. Get this, everything on the rack is 50% off and any coatings etc you get are also 50% off! That is pretty amazing, seriously. The frames are all the in house SEE brand, so if you care about having a designer name on your frames then I guess go elsewhere but the frames at SEE are all very hip, probably the most interesting overall selection I've seen. I had at least three different frames I was interested in and that is saying something. So, if you're in the market go see the manager Lisa and the gals at SEE in Birmingham, not only are the super friendly and helpful but they're also gorgeous, if that means anything! Tell them Dustin sent you. Oh, and by the way, you get a free glass case and lens cleaner with your glasses, many places will actually charge extra for this. I love freebies! Thumbs up SEE! read more

Alison and Lisa are so wonderful!!! I came here to get a new pair of eyes about a month ago, and those two remembered me from 10 years ago, when I was a kid. Made me feel really special. Not to mention that everyone who works here (including my awesome friend Dana!!) are so down to earth and just overall genuine people. They do not treat you like just another name on a list. The selection of frames, and the wonderful staff, makes this THE place for me to come get new glasses. And with the Groupon/Yelp deals they always have, it's an absolute steal. They actually include the price of the lenses WITH the price of the frame, so there are no "hidden fees" and you're actually getting a quality pair of frames that won't break and lenses that won't peel (trust me, I still wear my 10 year old SEE frames on occasion). Birmingham SEE is the best. read more

Great service from multiple people on the staff! Worked with Nina today, and she got me to take another pair of glasses as I was just picking up my new ones?! Lol! "See" how great service, and always finding a way to work with the customer helps! Well done guys read more

Since my initial contact with See, I've been contacted on several occasions. They apologized for the poor treatment. They didn't try to make excuses, try to deny it or blame me for the incident. I appreciate that they were so stand-up about it. They went to great measures to make sure that I got the best eye care and in all my dealings with them since they have been beyond kind. Dr. Desi was thorough, informative, attentive and caring. All the assisting staff was helpful and pleasant as well. We are still working on my prescription but it's a tough one and the hang up is me not them. They have been very patient with me too. Thanks Tamara! Your efforts have gone a long way to making me a fan! I would recommend Dr. Desi and you to any of my friends or family. Sincerely, read more

*Update 2* Visited the Seattle SEE store and everything was great, was able to get a new pair of glasses due to the faulty existing pair and had a very pleasant experience. Will remain a SEE customer, knowing that my one bad experience doesn't reflect the company as a whole. :) *Update* Spoke with corporate and they were incredibly nice and are currently helping me resolve the issue. Will update on progress. I don't recommend SEE eyeglasses. I just had the most abysmal customer experience period. First my glasses broke after two weeks, then they couldn't fix them w/o shipping them out and leaving me w/o glasses for weeks. Then I finally decided to buy a new pair after they offered to replace my broken pair. Then after and bought and paid for the new pair they called and told me I couldn't get the replacement pair after all. Then I got my new glasses with a flyer that if you have a broken pair you get 50% off so I called the store, left messages for the manager who never called me back. Also emailed and called corporate. Finally called back the store, got the manager who was incredibly rude and not helpful. Still waiting for corporate to answer me back. NOT WORTH IT and such a bummer because I used to love them. read more

This place is the epitome of cool. Before buying my eyeglasses at SEE, I really did my homework. I went to 5 other stores (Pearle Vision, Lenscrafters, JCPenny Optical, OPTIK, and Shades) in search of the perfect set of frames. SEE was the only place that had the perfect combination of approachable staff, funky frames, and reasonable prices. Even though SEE didn't take my insurance, it was only about $40 more to buy my glasses here (on sale), and that was including the very premium scratch-resistant coating. I would highly recommend SEE to anyone who is looking to update their look. read more

Wow, these are the ugliest glasses I've ever seen. Yeah, they may be affordable but I feel like a pair would last me a week before I broke them. Their frames seem like they are for people who wear glasses because they look cool, not because they need them to actually see. read more

They are hands down THE BEST!! I live in DC and fly home to Birmingham to get glasses. I have been going there since I was 15 and would not think of going anywhere else no matter where I move. Lisa and Alison are simply amazing!! read more

Okay, let's see........this place SEE in downtown Birmingham, Michigan is this place for you to be and see; friendly and warm atmosphere is a place you'd oughta be. My girls, Lisa and Alisha will help you down to nitty gritty to pick the right eyewear for your face; I'm telling you, this is the place! Go SEE for yourself! GO SEE downtown B'ham, MI for being such a great help! P.S. Alisha, thank you so much for wonderful customer service skills, smiles and compassion. Lisa was actually my sales rep, and she was out sick with the flu, and you handled my information so wonderfully. You guys are just awesome and rock! Thanks for taking my photo, too! My friend and I have named my new "red cat-eye frames" HOT TAMALES! ;-). read more

So far I am a fan. I have not received my glasses yet but the service was great. I really feel that these folks know their stuff. Expensive, yes, but hopefully worth it. If the product matches the service, knowledge and friendliness of the staff than it is a winner! I bought prescription sunglasses and was very impressed with the selection and the "new" fun things they have that other stores don't, clips for instance, that can be added to any frame you have - GENIUS! I say take a look if you want something unique and hip. read more

This is place is the bomb. Great eye wear and even better people. Come in with an open mind and just let them pick a great pair of glasses, you will come back for years. read more

I called on Monday. My insurance and payment questions were answered over the phone. I was able to get an appointment the following day. When I arrived, I was greeted by Tam, who was friendly and fun. The environment is styled and well lit. My wait time was less than 5 minutes. The optometrist was also friendly and proficient. Though I just needed a prescription for contact lenses, I could not help but be inspired by the cool selection of glasses. I will likely be going back in the not to distant future. Overall, it was a very positive eye exam experience. read more

I am truly amazed at the incredible customer service I received at this store. I brought my daughter in to pick out a pair of glasses. They worked her in last minute working hard to facilitate our schedule. Her glasses looked great. One week later we had a little accident and I was prepared to purchase new glasses when they told me they were covered under warranty. The store was packed yet staff was kind and courteous. Amanda khoury who helped us, made my daughters day by her compassion and kindness. I can't say enough good things about this establishment. They are truly blessed to have such hard working and kind staff working for them! read more

I've bought glasses & contacts from the NYC and Boston stores. I was visiting the Detroit area over Easter, when I had a contact lens emergency. I called SEE in Birmingham, and Lisa was extremely helpful and went the extra mile to assist me at very short notice, saving my vacation! Thank you so much--SEE truly takes care of their customers! read more

Bought my first pair about 7 years ago. I have gotten new lenses several times with same SEE frames since they held up so well. Returned to Birmingham for new frames and worked with Nina. She picked out multiple frames for me to try on. Picked the perfect ones. Once arrived, they adjusted them, but they continued to slip down my nose. Had to return twice and this time I asked for Nina to take a look. Glad I did!! She adjusted them perfectly and changed the nose pads. No more slippage or discomfort behind my ears. She's the best! Very caring. Great service from her!!! read more

I've been a regular patron( at least twice a year) of SEE eyewear, Birmingham MI. for awhile and rightly so, they carry high quality, one-of-a-kind specs and when i wear them, i can't get enough compliments. My preferred sales associate is David because he is warm & friendly and most interested in you being a satisfied customer. I look forward to working with David when i come in because he is not trying to just make a sell but, he will be honest with me on what looks good on me and thats very important to me. Upon our first meeting, i was hooked. David was very attentive and quick to clue in on what styles i was interested in and he offered spot on suggestive ones to try. David is a joy. He is one of the reasons i like coming back. The rest of the SEE staff is very friendly and willing to help, as well. I gladly recommend SEE of Birmingham, David and the other staff to whomever ask where i get my eyewear from. Go see them. You will be so glad you did! Tell David I sent you. read more

Fourteen months after I paid $600 for a pair of eyeglasses at See, an earpiece (temple) broke off. I was told "See doesn't do repairs." I was offered an extension of my one-year "warranty," which consisted of permitting me to buy another pair of glasses at half off. (See also refused to order a new temple so that a different store could reattach it for me.) BEWARE OF SEE! Don't assume that because you pay a premium price in an upscale neighborhood that the business cares about satisfying you when there is a problem. And yes, the staff is very friendly and helpful when you're buying! read more

They messed up my prescription and were rude. Unprofessional service, lousy product, and no customer service person from management will even call me back! If you care about your eyes, 'look,' elsewhere! read more

I've been going to the Birmingham SEE for years. It is conveniently located blocks from my office. Beyond the convenience of the location I enjoy the experience. The employees at SEE are young and trendy. They know me by first name even though I only come in once a year. I'm always greeted as if I'm a friend but still in a professional way. The staff is full of energy, charismatic and knowledgeable about products. The doctors are always very professional and put me right a ease (even though they are going to touch my eye with that thing!)! I just came from this year's visit to SEE in Birmingham and it was as good as every year. I considered going to a discount store but worried about quality of exam and glasses. I know I don't have to worry about either with SEE. read more

At the Birmingham store - the selection is "spec"tacular and unique. The customer service is awesome! The staff is extremely helpful and always makes me feel welcome. read more

Wonderful customer service! Martha is absolutely the best at adjusting frames! Highly recommend them. I will definitely be making a return visit. read more

I've been buying my glasses at SEE for five years now. The staff is the best and so is the optometrist. Everyone is so welcoming and helpful. Walking in always feels like coming home. I was moved to write a review when I saw a review someone wrote about the glasses looking like they won't hold up. I've been wearing glasses since I was four-years-old and need them every waking moment. I have multiple pairs of glasses and sunglasses from SEE and can attest not only to their great look, but also to the quality. I have never had a single complaint about any of my frames or lenses. If I ever did, I am confident they would take care of it immediately. This is why I keep going back to SEE for glasses. read more
