Need glasses? Go to Costco. Need super fancy chic hipster glasses? Go to See. I don't think they have a particular outstanding stock of sunglasses but they do have a really unique array of seeing glasses. With lots of colors and shapes, they offer a great variety with hefty price tag. However, if you are the kind of person that needs to always be wearing glasses while always being fashionable you might want to think about taking the cost hit. They also have some awesome framed photos of the most random people and their glasses, which makes See a generally fun place to waste 5 minutes in your day. read more

Some nice options on frames. Nice staff. Light airy store. Always busy with customers, but the staff is always attentive.

A silicone nose pad on my glasses broke yesterday, leaving a piece of uncomfortable metal pressing into the bridge of my nose. I googled eyewear stores in the area and first went to Music City Opticals, who said they could replace it -- for $15.00. Seriously??? I'd be happy to pay a max of $5 (could buy 5 pairs for $6.50 at Walmart, but I only needed 1 pad) and every eyewear business I've ever visited did it for free. I next visited SEE in Hillsboro Village where the woman who waited on me couldn't have been nicer! She replaced the nose pad (yes, for free!) and we had a chat about the store ordering some smaller frames (coming soon), which I've had trouble finding since oversized glasses became very popular. SEE won a new customer. Being nice pays off! read more

My husband had his very first eye exam here last week- we were the very last appointment of the day but we didn't feel even a little bit rushed. In fact, the optometrist took plenty of time to explain each step since it was my husband's first eye exam. Turns out he had really high eye pressure which is a risk factor/symptom for glaucoma. She explained this in lots of detail and took the time to answer every single one of our questions. I was very impressed and this really helped calm us down after being caught off guard by information like that. She referred us to an ophthalmologist which makes me feel really comfortable with how she didn't go out of her scope of practice. After the exam, we took about 20-30 mins finding the right glasses for him, and the consultant really took her time with us as we went back and forth between a few pairs. Overall a great place; I'll definitely be going back there when it's time for my next exam. read more

First time here and loved it! Got glasses and sunglasses -- sort of addictive :). The exam was fabby -- very high tech equipment and the Dr was excellent at explaining everything going on with my eyes. The frame selection was really great and they had some great deals. Definitely going to use this as my go-to eye spot in Nashville! read more

I have purchased my last 3 pairs of glasses at SEE and it would pain me to go anywhere else! The selection and especially the customer service are so far beyond anything you would find anywhere else! Kate is fabulous with selection assistance. Rarely does a day go by that I don't get complimented on my glasses and I'm always quick to direct people to this fabulous place! read more

Just got my very first pair of progressive lenses thanks to Kate! She was incredibly helpful and made the entire experience fun--like having my own personal shopper. She brought me an assortment of frames to try and pushed me a little out of my comfort zone, which ended up being fabulous! Price was fair and I will definitely be back. Thanks for helping me see! read more

I purchased my first pair of glasses at SEE last month and had a great experience. They have a new customer for life! John was really helpful in helping me find a pair that fit my face and my style. Once I picked the glasses I liked, checkout was smooth and fast. The glasses were ready a couple of days later. I returned to SEE a few days after picking up the glasses because I felt they were a little crooked. The staff helped me out immediately and got them fixed right on the spot. I was in and out in less than 10 minutes. I am very happy with my new glasses and have received a lot of compliments! If you need a new pair of glasses, go to SEE! Note: Be sure to sign up for their e-newsletter, they occasionally send coupons for the purchase of eyeglasses and sunglasses. read more

I first came to this store 3 years ago, and decided that for my first set of trifocals (yeah I'm in my 50's now) the frames were a bit too pricey and trendy for the only pair I would wear everywhere. So what did I do? I went to Sam's Club and got my prescription for cheap, then the only pair of glasses I LOVED enough to spend $500 on was a pair of Versace frames at Lenscrafters. And I still LOVE those glasses. But here it is, three years later, and not only do I still LOVE my Versace frames, and I put my new everyday prescription back in those , but I needed a second pair to wear while playing the piano (like, performing and teaching). Where did I buy my frames? You guessed it. At SEE (with my $39 Groupon) I found a pair that would do the job. Still pricey at $300+ with bifocal and anti-reflection (only necessary if you want to have people look in your eyes on stage and while teaching). Hey, glasses ain't cheap with options and they would have been off the charts without the Groupon, which saved me $200. They definitely AREN'T $500 glasses--they could have been $600 w/o the visible lines, so just be aware that you are paying for the trendy-ness and the lovely customer service especially if you don't have insurance or money to burn. I was going for a "look" so this is where you go for that. Otherwise, go get some real designer frames that won't seem out of date 3 years later, from some big name designers so you can feel rich instead of just trendy. read more

I walked into SEE with high hopes for (prescription) sunglasses. I wasn't disappointed. :) The super friendly staff were totally welcoming, despite the massive crowd browsing. Almost instantly, I found the perf glasses. I was kindly led through the sunglasses process, and a week later I got the pick-up call. I walked in excitedly, the nice staff guy helped me adjust them, and I walked out in my super rad frames. Yeah, you could call it a love story. ;D read more

Went to See for new specs. Far and above better and cooler styles than your typical vision shop. The lady helping me was very professional and made me feel like the only customer in a crowded store. Love my new glasses! Thanks See. read more

I've bought a second pair of glasses from SEE and have sent multiple friends here since. Love this place!

I'm in a dither. I think we need to have a category for when 5 stars just is not enough. In ONE of my previous reviews I mentioned receiving awesome service when they replaced my transition lenses with regular. OK. In May it was time for some new specs. I went in and bought a pair that I liked...that day. (My hair was unusually light that go-round...that might be the cause of the problem). When I picked them up, I was back to my usual-fake hair color and right off the bat I was not as excited about them as I should have been. But, I took them home and tried to like them. Just couldn't. It got worse when I'd put my hair up and looked like an old not-fun librarian. I never wore them out of the house for 2 weeks. So, I gave See a call and explained. They told me to get in there and they'd make it right. Did they ever! Ashley (I think?) helped me go through about 8 pair and select a better pair. Best part...at the end of it all they owed me about $8. I still think they should have charged me something for being a royal pain in the ass but they didn't. See has had our business since 2009 and I can't imagine going anywhere else. read more

My family was visiting Nashville from Milwaukee, and my son bent his glasses completely out of shape while playing. We called See and they told us that we can come in anytime for an adjustment even though we'd never purchased a thing. Amazing customer service and very friendly. Would definitely recommend them for future purchases. read more

Last year, about this time, when it was time to go to Norway, I came to SEE for the first time and was blown away by the selection of frames and by the wonderful customer service. I just dropped into have my favorite SEE sunglasses repaired and wow, what wonderful folks. I was fixed up and out the door in less than 10 minutes. read more

I have purchased 4 pairs of glasses at this location. The quality of the frames and lenses are top of the line. The boutique's manager, Jonh Stanley is actually a manager that knows what customer satisfaction really means. John went above and beyond to be sure I was completely satisfied with my purchase. I recommend See Eyewear in Hillsboro Village for your eyewear needs!! read more

When my frames broke, my optician's office couldn't provide me with answers to fairly straightforward questions...or with prompt service. I then called SEE and talked to John. Immediately, I realized that I was in excellent hands. I drove over and my problem was solved within minutes! Thanks, John...you have a brand new, very loyal customer! Please don't hesitate to visit SEE--John is truly an artist and #1 at what he does! read more

They have a high-end frame and lens selection...think Audi vs. Ford...so if you want the latest in technology and style, this is your place! I actually only wear my glasses (not sunglasses...) at night when my contacts are out, so I purchased a Groupon for a more practical purpose. John, the manager, was very helpful in working with me to ensure I received the best value using the Groupon, and was satisfied with my purchase. They have excellent customer service! read more

While eye-exams and glasses/contact prices can often be far too steep and equally as unpleasant, I have found a gem of a place. This little boutique located in the Green Hills area was just what I needed to restore my faith in opticians, eyeglass prices, and quality in general. After dealing with all of the Lenscrafters, Empire Visions, and big corporate optical stores, I was ready for a change. This place is located in such a cute part of town, with free parking just a few seconds from the store and surrounded by equally as adorable shops, bars, and eateries. The price of their eye exam is lower than anywhere I have been previous to this ($60). They seem to be having specials often, also. I purchased a Groupon for this place and it provided me with $200 off any pair of frames for just $39 on Groupon. Great deal and an even greater selection of frames in this place. Each pair as equally stylish as the next and for a great price after the discount. Not only is the product good, but the staff were sweet as pie and helpful as well. Each staff member gave me their opinion on what pair looked best and educated me to the extreme on the deal, what was included, etc and I was given a thorough and quick eye exam..and was able to be fit in within 30 minutes, and I was a walk-in. All in all, this place gets a great rating. I won't be dealing with another optician/eyeglass store from now on!:) read more

I've gotten my past few pairs of glasses and sunglasses from here, and their rotating styles have really made me into a new-pair-every-year-or so kind of person. Their stock is regularly refreshed, and they offer coupons (internet and mail) often to drag you back in with a great deal. Customer service is always great, helping me out finding the right shape and color. I even brought back a pair of sunglasses because the way the lens curved made my eyes go drunk. They let me exchange sunglasses frames as well to accommodate a different lens curve. Nice to know they live up to their guarantee, as long as you return within their policy. However, there are only a handful of frames that are really affordable to begin with, and once you add on special coatings to the basic lenses, the cost can really add up. I wouldn't go in here without a coupon, so get thyself on the mailing list and stalk the groupon/living social/internets-made-coupons-hip sites. read more

Decent selection and prices but terrible customer service. Waited about 20 minutes to ask a question a bout a style availability, didn't get approached. Left without being helped. There were 8-10 people in store and two employees working. read more

Recently I purchased the 3rd pair of glasses from SEE. I went for a contact lens exam, but I chose to go to SEE based on my first experience there last year. From walking in and having Betsy get up and pick the perfect pair of glasses on her first attempt to immediate service and eye exam (on my lunch break) to receiving a handwritten letter a few days later, it's a prime example of good -- nay, great -- customer service. Also at my contact exam, I ended up purchasing another pair of eyeglasses. Betsy, Jill, Kate, and John are all incredible. These are only the individuals I've had the pleasure of speaking to. I'm sure the others are just as amazing. I'll be returning today to probably purchase a 4th pair of glasses! You know, after the 5th pair you get a pair free! And they looove freebies! I'll never stop referring people to SEE! I almost forgot. Shay, the optometrist, is awesome as well. Very down-to-earth, honest, and logical! I can go on for days. read more

The selection and service help to easily select the perfect pair at SEE. Thank You Betsy for being awesome at what you do!!

I absolutely love my funky new glasses! I've had prescription lenses for several years and often wear contact lenses. For the last 4 years I've needed bifocals (yeah, I'm in my 50's) and prefer a progressive lense. Wearing one contact lense for distance and the other for near vision was a challenge because the prescriptions were never quite right so I resorted to glasses! I'm a very stylish woman and I love to be different/cutting edge! I currently own about 10 pairs of glasses, each one more different than the rest. You can imagine how excited I was when a friend suggested I check out SEE! The frames selection is amazing and I spent an hour there trying on frames. Now, the reason for only 4 stars was the poor customer service!!!!! No one acknowledged me when I walked in, but the woman who walked in behind me was immediately greeted and given a tray in which to place her frame interests. I truly don't want to think it was because of my skin color!!!! Yes, I'm black and the other woman was white. I casually browsed and tried various frames for about 10 minutes before a very nice young man offered his assistance. The next thing that was a bit disturbing was that he did not offer me lense choices/upgrades. I have great eye insurance and I never ask about the price of frames, but other vendors provide lense options and allow customers to make a choice. Once he worked up my frames and input my prescription my total was more than $760. My final total was $517 once insurance was applied. I LOVE my purchase so the price was not a big deal for me. I'm sure I'll go back again, very soon! I expressed my concern with not being acknowledged and the young man was apologetic. I won't let that kind of behavior deter me......it was not a reflection of who I am, but it spoke directly to who they are as individuals! read more

I recently stopped into SEE after I saw the amazing glasses my co-worker had found there. I was not prepared for the never ending wonderful, funky, fearless styles that they had. I wound up getting two pair. After visiting most of the big chain opticals and a boutique or two, I found the prices to be very reasonable and the styles unbeatable. Check them out if you want to get the most style for your money! Ask for John, he is not only knowledgeable but cute and a lot of fun. read more

I love the variety of frames they have there. Everyone that works there is so helpful and great at picking out styles I wouldn't have picked out for myself. Great doctor on staff. Recommended this place many times. read more
