Though we could not fix my expensive Silhouette frames due to the risk of making them worse, Sara brought them to the back to try and also checked to see if they had an extra temple they could replace it with. Being an out of towner I was not sure what to expect and I can tell you that the service was exceptional, friendly and professional. We had the frames wearable until I was able to get back home to order the new temple. If I was in Boulder long enough, they would have done it for me there, but this happened on my last day in Boulder before heading into the mountains.

I can't remember where or how I first came across silhouette brand glasses frames, but I fell in…read morelove. While they offer a variety of styles, my favorites are the frameless with titanium sides. These are comfortable, diminutive, and stand up to accidents like sitting on them (they bend but do not break). They also are pricey. I had a pair a couple of years ago, and when my prescription changed, I decided to go to Costco and find some attractive frames for a good price. The problem is that these more traditional frames BOTHER me EVERY DAY. Plastic gathers sweat and grime at the nose. Metal is particularly rigid and more uncomfortable. I can see the edges of the frames in my view, which doesn't really impact my vision so much, but it makes the world less real. So, when I finally had the opportunity to get another new set of glasses with a new prescription, I went on the hunt for Silhouettes. It is not easy to find a place that deals with Silhouettes, but I knew that Aspen Eyewear sold them. As it is difficult to comparison shop eyeglasses, or even shop around, really, I noted the expected high price of a frame I liked at Aspen, enlisted the help of a knowledgeable assistant, and decided on a gorgeous frame. When we sat down to pull together the necessary additions--anti-glare, anti-scratch, transitions, etc., they put a quote in front of me. More than double the high cost of the frame! Yes, I did a double-take, my jaw dropped, I took a large GULP. I guess he could read my reaction, because the assistant asked if that price was OK, and if not, maybe we could consider dropping some of the add-ons. I asked him if there were any silhouettes on the clearance table, or if they ever go on sale, and the answer was "no". I know what I want, and this is apparently what it costs, so on we went with the purchase. After reading Aspen Eyewear's Yelp reviews, where many talk about their high cost, I started to wonder if it would have been worth my time to comparison shop the one other place nearby that I found that carries Silhouettes. But, you know what? This frame is an expensive frame. The lenses are definitely quality lenses, and I've been wearing the glasses now for two months, and I LOVE them. I got what I wanted, and I'm happy I did it. The people that helped me at Aspen Eyewear were very nice. They were knowledgable about the product(s) and how they fit different people, spent the time with me that was necessary, and no inappropriately long wait times. My only suggestion is that they provide a bit more detail with regard to glasses care when you pick up your purchase from them. I think there are some special instructions and care required for Silhouettes, which I kind of expected them to go through with me. Also, how do I get a lens completely shiny new clean? I have always struggled with this, and I found some Zeiss lens cleaners that I thought must be perfect, given that Zeiss is a prominent lens maker for premium products. Upon further research, it seems that they have alcohol in them which can damage the coatings I paid so much money for on these lenses. Also, I have no warranty information, although one associate mentioned to me in passing something about a 60-day lens replacement (I think). I have no documentation of this, and nothing is mentioned online, so if I damage my lenses in the first 60 days, due to ignorance, do I have the opportunity to try again? I don't know. Conclusion: Aspen Eyewear is not the budget eyeglass vendor, but they do offer a premium product with premium lines that are difficult to find elsewhere. If you want a premium eyeglasses product, Aspen Eyewear is worth a visit.

I can't say enough positive things about my experience with The Envision Clinic and Dr. Israelson…read more A few years ago, I had LASIK surgery, and since then, my vision has been pretty good. I hadn't been to an optometrist in years because I didn't feel the need. That all changed one morning when I woke up with an intense case of pink eye. The Envision Clinic was able to get me in so quickly, and Dr. Israelson was incredible. She was kind, knowledgeable, and supportive, instantly putting me at ease. She prescribed treatment that worked immediately, and during our conversation, she took the time to discuss how eye health can often reveal other potential medical issues, including signs of a brain cancer recurrence--something that resonated with me deeply, as I'm a brain cancer survivor. A few weeks later, once my eye had healed, I returned for a comprehensive eye exam. I've never had such a thorough and thoughtful evaluation in my life! Dr. Israelson's attention to detail was unmatched. Although The Envision Clinic doesn't accept insurance, their pricing is very reasonable, and the quality of care is worth every penny. Dr. Israelson identified a slight astigmatism in my left eye and some mild degeneration in my LASIK correction. She explained everything clearly and practically, helping me understand why LASIK wouldn't be a good option for me again and recommending glasses specifically for driving and nighttime use to reduce glare. Her advice was incredibly practical and tailored to my unique needs, especially as someone with a complex medical history. The clinic itself is top-notch. It's clear they invest heavily in advanced equipment, staff training, and staying up-to-date with the latest research. They also have an impressive selection of frames--from trendy and fashionable to truly unique designs. Although I'm moving from Boulder to Denver soon, I'll happily make the drive back to see Dr. Israelson. She's one of the most compassionate and competent medical professionals I've ever encountered--and I've worked with many doctors over the years. If you're looking for exceptional care, practical insights, and a personalized experience, I can't recommend The Envision Clinic and Dr. Israelson enough.

Totally scammed by Sunrise Vision/Colorado Eye Center…read more Totally got scammed by the doctor who insisted that I was medically eligible for contacts. She said it'd be covered by insurance. I insisted I didn't want contacts, I only wanted basic lensed glasses. Nothing special. She insisted on giving me a readers prescription -I am legally blind in my left eye. I will never use readers because I can't see with them. She insisted. I go to leave and she mentions the contacts, I ask her are there any extra costs. "Oh no, everything is covered" I insisted that I don't want to pay for any of this. I don't need them. Got a bill last month, I'm pissed. Beware of their underlying bullshit.

So I came back in 2 days and they had lost the form. But I was prepared with another form filled out except for the signature of the eye doctor. Alas, that doctor wasn't in and ... oopsie ... they said I needed ANOTHER eye exam $$$ (despite having the "works" done a couple of months ago) and then the eye doctor might sign the paper on Friday and then they'd maybe email it to me. Good grief. So I won't be back - had much better exams and service at LensCrafters.
