The lady in the shop tightened my Ray bans with no prob ! She was super sweet and they had a lot of unique and stylish glasses to choose from ! Thank y'all!! read more

When I called to ask if Smarter Eyewear accepted my insurance, I was simply told "yes." Then when I made the trip to the store, I was told that my insurance was "out of network," i.e. more expensive than an in-network provider. Technically I didn't ask over the phone about the in-network vs. out-of-network distinction, but I think it would have been better customer service to tell me that over the phone. As it was, the trip to the store was a waste of my time. Also the store hours listed on the web site and on Yelp are incorrect. read more

I love this store because they just have so many trendy, adorable and stylish frames available! Unfortunately, they don't take my vision insurance, but who cares? I just love coming in here to look for frames that I may one day be interested in or are unique to this store. Looking for that sophisticated look in eyewear? They have something for you! Need something fun, yet comfortable? They'll get ya fitted for a frame just for you! The customer service here has always been fabulous and it's located in the same plaza as Trader Joe's, so it's easy-peasy to get look access. So, make the smart decision and #shoplocal, come here the next time you need those specs! read more

I recently stopped by this store to get my eye glasses fixed. The staff was extremely helpful (if you need help see Patrick because he's great) and they straightened my bent frames with ease. Super friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. Will be buying my next pair of glasses from them sure. Also a fantastic selection of KREWE sunglasses! read more

A few coworkers showed up to work with awesome frames. Each time i asked where they were from I'd be directed to Smarter Eyewear. About a year later i was finally due for a new pair of frames. Stopped by and had the best buying experience as far as eyewear is concerned. Patience and kindness runs deep here. Definitely recommend!!!! read more

Thanks Yelpers for the great reviews that led me to come here. Came in on a Sunday afternoon with my own frames and prescription and wanted to check on having the lens with the prescription put in the frames. They were SUPER SUPER nice! Paul, along with two other ladies were over the top! Excellent service, excellent suggestions and willingness to help. It only took about 20 minutes for the job to be completed. I actually expected to drop them off and pick them back up, but the option to wait was a sweet surprise. They are so very accommodating, they offer a 20% discount - just because! & will assist you in filing with your insurance if you have any. Super sweet. Great customer service. Definitely will be back if needed in the future. It's local and they should definitely be supported. (right next to Trader Joe's) read more

Fixed one pair of sunglasses better than new and replaced broken lenses in another. Great selection and better service. Absolutely going back when it's time for new ones. read more

Was in Baton Rouge on business, fell asleep in my glasses and tweaked them real bad. In desperation, I sought out a nearby optical store on Yelp, and luckily I found Smarter Eyewear. Even though I didn't buy my glasses from them, they were kind enough to tweak the glasses back into shape. Without even asking me, the optician just gave me a free soft cloth and spray cleaner to take with me! This is a top-notch store and you're guaranteed to leave satisfied. If I lived in the area, this would absolutely be my new optical choice. read more

Extremely unhelpful terrible customer service wouldn't even attempt to help me with my glasses.

I wish there were more stars to mark. Staff is great and service outstanding! After several trips to "just look" they suggested I bring in some old frames to see if they might be appropriate. This would mean NO sales for frames. Paul, the manager said they were perfect and put in new prescription. They had them ready ahead of time and truly they are perfect. And I feel pretty chic.. read more

Buyer Beware!!! Bought two pairs of Krewe sunglasses, they went on sale online via the Krewe website within 4 days and smarter eyewear would not honor the sale AND they charged me $10 for shipping. I could've saved my $10 shipping, since Krewe offers that, and over $100 via the sale price on Krewe website. I have always sought out this local shop in support of purchasing from locally owned stores, this is my last purchase with them. read more

Another five star review for this place because they deserve it! I purchased a pair of glasses here several years ago when I lived in Baton Rouge. It was finally time to replace my lenses, but living in New Orleans now, I called around several places that took my insurance to get quotes. The quote at the optical shop at my eye doctor was $255 with my insurance, and the lady helping me there was rude, so that was a no go for me. I called a few more places, and they all said it would take 7-10 days to get my glasses back, which also wasn't a good option. So I decided to call Smarter Eyewear, where I had originally purchased my frames and lenses, and get a quote. They told me to email in my prescription, and they would verify they had the appropriate lenses. If so, it would take them about an HOUR to replace them! Not 7-10 days, ONE HOUR! Plus, they said it would be $145 with my insurance. I was sold and decided to drive the 1.5 hours to save over $100 and at least a week without my glasses. I had emailed my prescription as requested that morning and received an email from Patrick saying they had the lenses. We showed up around 1 PM, and the always-attentive employees addressed me right away despite having other customers in the store. Patrick already had my lenses ready with my prescription printed! I got the price confirmed, and sure enough, just what they had told me on the phone, as they had already run my insurance (which I had provided over the phone the previous week). Like they had promised originally, it took well under an hour to have my glasses ready for me. The employee at the register provided a contacts case, so I could try on my glasses - they were perfect! She also suggested I take the old lenses since my prescription hadn't changed much as a back up and bagged them carefully for me. She provided some lens cleaning solution and cloths, and we were out the door. TL;DR Another great experience - both purchasing glasses years ago and getting my lenses replaced today. Competitive prices, quick and attentive service. Highly recommend! read more

I ran into Smarter Eyewear with a pair of broken sunglasses and even though they weren't sold by them or under any warranty they were more than willing to fix them for me, no questions asked. That type of excellent customer service is in severe neglect these days; but not here. In particular, Patrick was especially helpful. I will be recommending this company to any that ask and to find Patrick for their next pair. They have my highest recommendation!! read more

I definitely feel smarter with my new glasses from Smarter Eyewear, and a whole lot sassier! These guys take customer service to a whole new level, quite a welcome rarity! Make a point to go in and try on some of the coolest glasses anywhere! Leave looking like you just stepped out of some tony hipster joint in NYC. My only wish is they would knock it off with all the hashtags on Facebook. I am not that smart! read more

Absolutely love this place. Usually hate the entire process of buying glasses, but going to Smarter Eyewear is truly an experience. From the awesome customer service to the fabulous selection of frames..I highly recommend at least stopping by to see for yourself how great this place is. The bonus...I get at least 5 compliments a day on my new glasses...SERIOUSLY...Thanks Smarter Eyewear! read more

I usually don't find customer service at vision places very helpful, but the guys who worked there are great. They had a good selection of both economical and pricier frames - probably fewer per company on display than what you'd find at a larger place, but certainly enough to cover the style spectrum. They got my lenses made in about twenty minutes and I was on my way. Highly recommended. Thanks, y'all! read more

Gotta give these guys another great review. Today I stopped in to have my lens checked out due to some bubbling and I was treated to a "tune up" on both pair of sunglasses I had with me. (Even a pair that didn't come from their store.) I received advice as to wait on my lens replacement since our hot weather was causing the issue. Another great visit and looking forward to my next! read more

The selection of frames here is about the best I've found in Baton Rouge. But as good as the frames selection is, the service is even better. The staff allowed me all the time I needed without following me around, but as soon as I had a question, they were right there to help. This is where I will always go for my glasses now. read more

I just bought my glasses there and I recommend this store to everyone. I found exactly what I needed (cute and urban-looking red frames). AND I had outstanding customer service. AND my glasses were ready in 20 minutes! After recently buying a pair of safety glasses at an optical store with rude and boring salespeople, this experience felt like a blessing. While the glasses were getting ready, I just took a quick trip to Trader Joe's, which is next door, and the glasses were ready. It is a small local business (only one store, with friendly owners on top of things on site ) that deserves our preference and has potential to grow. read more

Went to this store based on Yelp reviews for glasses repair while visiting from out of state. Not only were they able to repair the glasses, there was no charge. Will be buying glasses here next time. Superb service. read more

Great selection at many price points. Friendly helpful service. Huge selection of eyeglasses and sunglasses. The most beautiful glasses I've ever had. The first place that ever fit my thick lenses into wafer thin frames with no overhang. I couldn't be happier. read more

Intransigent owner refuses to refund our money even though a $170 pair of frames broke after 37 days. Instead offers a replacement frame--utterly useless because the frame broke on the road and I had to replace it on the spot. He suggests it's all the manufacturer's problem, which means that it's my problem. Strange thing is that we have shopped there before but get no acknowledgement of that. read more

I've been a customer for over a year now. I love this store! They have a great selection of frames, including my now favorite, Modo, which I love for their lightweight and extremely comfortable design. I am pretty picky about how my glasses fit and it's great to find a store with such a great selection (and not JUST heavy hard plastic frames like all the other mainstream stores). Patrick is very knowledgeable about lens design/glasses and helping you pick frames that both complement your face AND will be comfortable for you long term. They also can have your lenses done in less than 30 minutes! The atmosphere of the store is great too - love the recycled pallets and layout. When the paint started peeling on my first pair of Modo frames, they switched out my frames for free since they were still under warranty! I love this store and highly recommend you check them out! read more
