I like The Bent Lens a lot. Dr. Torrey takes extra time to explain everything to you and lets you see the different levels of clarity with each lens. His office does not constantly pressure you to buy the more expensive glasses and contacts, which I commend. Oh, and he wears glasses himself. And kind of looks like Danny Gokey from American Idol. Maybe it's the glasses. read more

So appreciate the attention to my eye care here - been going for 10+ years for glasses and contacts. great frame selection too.

We have been working with Bent Lens for years and years and they have always been wonderful. Easy to communicate with, flexible and very professional. They have a great selection and can help you look your best while seeing your best. read more

With customer service like they have at the Bent Lens, everyone should want to be called "four-eyes". I've purchased glasses, sunglasses, contacts and had my eye exams here for the last two years and always walk away incredibly happy. With a great selection of styles and a keen sense of style, they always help you find the perfect set of frames that fit your face, look and budget. I'll continue to send my friends and will patron the Bent Lens for all of my geek sheik needs! read more

Let me preface this by saying that I do not wear contacts, and I do not wear glasses. So why did I go to an eye doctor? Because I signed up for eye insurance for the first time this year, and thought that I should use it. I always see stories on the news/internet about all the diseases that ophthalmologists can detect by looking at your eyes. So I hunkered down and found a place close to my work. The Bent Lens has great hours, especially if you work in/around the downtown area. It also has a great location, smack dab in the middle of Larimer Square. Dr. Torrey is wonderful. He makes the whole process of an eye exam super easy (and super fast). He explains every step that he's doing so that you know what kind of weird things he is doing to your eyes. He doesn't try to sell you stuff you don't need, which is very relaxing and put me at ease. I walked out happy and tranquil (which typically doesn't happen when leaving the doctor). My peepers feel great, and I can gladly say that I don't have any of those weird eye diseases they always talk about on TV (glaucoma, hypertension, herpes of the eye? No thank you). read more

Get all your optical needs here! I don't know about you, but I'm not incredibly fond of other people near my eyes. Dr. Torrey and front man, Brad, really made me feel at ease. They have an AWESOME selection of spectacles from sleek and modern to ultra funky and hip. I went in one day to look around and found a great pair. By they time I went back for my appointment, the glasses had already been sold. NO PROBLEM, they ordered a new pair and I was able to choose the color of my liking. Super friendly and great at what they do! :) read more

Going to the eye doctor has never been easier! I just told Dr. Torrey that my insurance was VSP and filled out one page of information and I was good to go. Throughout the exam he explained what every procedure was for and how my eyes were according to the test. After the exam he set me up with four boxes of contacts and didn't try to upsell me glasses or anything. Easy, low pressure, high quality eye care. read more

Got glasses fixed in Minutes humble staff especially that I'm from NY. Went in with a broken pair two other places said it wasn't fixable. I went there. 10mins $10 bucks I was back in business they restrained my glasses And recommend a place for me grab brunch at. Thanks guys read more

The Bent Lens - Optometrists Near Me - Denver, Colorado

I've been wearing contacts for 10+ yrs, and Dr Torrey taught me more about my eyes in my first exam than I'd learned in all my prior exams. Instead of upselling me on contacts, he explained differences between my options (turned out to be little in my case) and ultimately suggested that I go with the least expensive. Didn't expect this! Also: - Didn't have to wait to see him, wasn't put on hold on the phone - They were prepared with my insurance info (VSP) ahead of time - Exam room was immaculate -- not even water spots on the sink - Great hours & location for downtown patients Highly recommended. read more

Todd is a wonderful doctor. He is very friendly and gives helpful patient education including rationale for exam components and anatomy of eye where necessary. Re: glasses, he gave me options for upgrades but didn't upsell me. He even encouraged me to skip certain upgrades for my Rx. He helped me pick out frames as well. Other staff were nice. Not snobby or overpriced which I am happy to see in Larimer square! read more

I've been coming here for about a year and a half now and they are always quick and so helpful. Also, they always let me know up front what prices will be and how I can save the most or get the best deal. Love this place! Recently ordered some glasses and really loved them too. I will definitely be coming back here for all my eye care needs. read more

I've been wearing contacts for well over 10 years, but this has been the best eye doctor experience I've had. Dr. Torrey really explains everything out, which I find fascinating. He's incredibly fairly priced, and is very patient. I've been trialing different contacts for about a month and a half now, and he just wants me to get the ones that work the best for me. A great experience overall! read more

I just picked up my second pair of eyeglasses here, and I can't recommend Bent Lens enough. They carry many different styles, and the brands you see here are unique to their store. I looked at those online sites that promise to find you the right pair, but I wasn't impressed by the quality or the limited selection. Trust me when I say that Linda will find the perfect frame that suits you and only you. I had tried on a pair of Seraphin frames in a brown color and thought they looked ok but wasn't 100% sure. Linda ordered them in another color for me to try out just in case. She was right once again, as she helped me pick my FIRST pair 2 years ago. I have had so many compliments on my new glasses, all thanks to her great eye (no pun intended.) Dr. Todd did an eye exam for me, so my prescription was updated and he explained every step in detail. He told me my glasses might take about 7 days, and they were ready in 4. I had my exam on a Saturday morning and they came back from the lab on Thursday. You can't beat the personal service and great selection of eyeglasses as well as sunglasses. Check them out for your next pair! read more

First I just have to say that Dr. Torrey's place has the best selection of frames around. It is a great place to find really unique lenses. My husband has a horrible time finding frames that work well with his face and Dr. Torrey has an instinct for the fitting the frame to his face and has picked out awesome and unique frames that my husband loves. Frames aside Dr Torrey is extremely patient and caring during eye exams. We bring in the whole family for checkups and our kids actually enjoy their trips to his office. (OK, the location in Larimer helps!) Thanks Dr. Torrey! read more

Everyone sure is right about the customer service. I walked in hoping to get an eye exam, but since they were appointment only, the store gave me a sample to hold me over until my exam. Dr. Torrey was just fantastic and the exam was painless and fast. read more

I've been going to the bent lens for 3-4 years now. Dr. Torrey explains everything he does very clearly (scientific and insurance related). I've never had to wait once arriving for my appointment, and there has never been a problem scheduling. In addition to everything being great, Dr. Torrey plays the best music of any eye doctor in town! read more

I was so impressed by the staff's time and attention, especially during the pandemic. I felt safe and in great hands. I would highly recommend them! read more

The Bent Lens is still amazing. They estimated my glasses would be ready in a week and a half. On day 8 I called to see what day I should plan to be there and alas they are done before the projected time frame! (Day 9) Not only this, but Linda at the front desk recognized me by my name and is just so on top of everything. Those kinds of things exceed any expectation I have for a medical facility. Simply WONDERFUL! read more

I've bought all my eyeglasses (everyday glasses, computer glasses. reading glasses, and sunglasses) here for my last two or three prescriptions. The shop has a good selection, fair prices, and the service is very good. Linda is very experienced and it shows in the service. The last time I was there to buy, she just handed me frames and most were perfect for me. A nice experience with excellent results. I recommend it. read more

I no longer work downtown but would happily deal with traffic and parking to continue being a client of Bentlens!

The Bent Lens is, and always has been, a wonderful place for me to go to. My family and I have been going there for years and I've never been met with anything less then quality service. They might be a little hard to find on Larimer (minus the giant metal glasses above you), but they're definitely worth the search. They have a plethora of glasses, both of their own design and others. Thank you Dr. Torrey and Linda for always being so welcoming and quick with a joke. We'll be seeing you soon. read more

Every experience I have had at the Bent Lens has been nothing short of fantastic. With a great selection and truly expert advice (thank you, Linda!), I have no need to ever go anywhere else. The friends I have sent there have all had very positive experiences as well. read more

Dr. Torrey is awesome, he looked at my insurance and informed me of free $ to spend on sunglasses! Him and Linda are great and easy to work with. Definitely would recommend! read more

Very ease to make an appointment and nice team!

Highly recommended and I see why! Kind and helpful, very happy with my experience with an eye exam (quick and efficient) and purchasing frames. Their selection for frames isn't extensive but I found what I was looking for. read more

I cannot say enough good things about The Bent Lens--Dr. Torrey and Linda went out of their way to accommodate me for a last-minute visit, and Doctor Torrey followed up multiple times personally to check in. You can tell Dr. Torrey loves what he does, always taking the time to explain the biology of our eyes. He is thoughtful and reasonable about treatment. Very fair prices as well. Cannot recommend highly enough! read more

Dr. Todd is an awesome ophthalmologist. He explains with visuals what is going on during the examination and your eyes. I walked away from my appointment with a new script and an open invitation to call him if I have any questions. Highly recommend. I will be back. read more

Todd and Linda are great. Whether it's for new glasses or just a tighten up or a repair, they are honest, trustworthy and fair. They've fixed vintage glasses I've inherited and they go out of the way to find unique and interesting frames. Todd stands behind his warranties. read more

I've been taking my son to Dr. Torrey for the past 6 years. We've always had great customer service from Linda and Dr. Torrey. Dr. Torrey has helped us find the perfect selection in frames and lenses. read more

My all-time favorite place to get glasses and eye exams. Dr. Todd is ultra-professional and he has a manner that is very reassuring, yet conversational. Their frames selection is excellent, and Linda is wonderfully helpful in choosing an appropriate set of spectacles for your unique needs. The music they play is most excellent, really adds to the whole experience. Finally, they have such an amazing location: I always liked to get an eye exam or pick up my glasses and go onto Larimer Square to shop or better yet, eat. Why go to a strip mall when you can have the best doc and customer experience followed by an afternoon or evening on the town? read more

I've been seeing Dr. Torrey for many years and appreciate his professionalism, friendliness and caring nature. And the selection of frames is excellent. Service is top notch. Linda runs the front office and rounds out the overall quality experience. I highly recommend Bent Lens to anyone looking for an eye doctor or frames. read more

Noticed a small defect in the coating on my new frames and called. Folks (Linda) at The Bent Lens, after seeing pictures I sent, immediately ordered a replacement frame and re-installed the new lenses. Great after-sales service provided. Highly recommend The Bent Lens in downtown Denver. read more

I look forward to my visits to the Bent Lens. Linda is the first person you meet and is a genuine kind soul, knowledgeable about all you options and has a great eye for what works for your style. Dr. "Todd" Torrey has the best "bedside manner", while walking you through procedures, examinations and current and future concerns. He really helps me to understand the what, when, where and how. The lobby is always playing great music, which always puts me at ease. I have referred many friends and will continue to do so. read more

i have been going to Dr. Todd for a very long time. He always explains what he is doing and why, he also has answers that make sense when i bring up concerns. His selection of glasses are also the bomb - it is hard to fit glasses to an asian face and he has had winners every time. I love my smith frames that i just got - Dr. Todd picked them out and they are amazing! i have received so many compliments on them - so now i look edgy and cool!! read more

5 years later and I still agree with my initial review: Dr. Torrey is amazing! Like all the other reviews indicate, this is definitely the place to go. I was hesitant at first given the posh location, and figured this office would be elitist and pushy. NOT at all the case, Dr. Torrey has that small town doctor feel, explains everything in detail that makes sense to everyone without sounding condescending. There were no problems with insurance, both Dr. Torrey and his assistant Linda were 100% capable of calculating my co-payment, hence no nasty post-insurance bill. By far my favorite optometrist yet. read more

I have been seeing Dr Torrey for five years and have always had a good experience. They are both very helpful and nice and make everything easy. They even help me with insurance questions. I recommend! read more

Dr. Todd Torrey rocks, literally! I've been "seeing" this opthamologist extraordinaire and jam-band aficionado for nearly a decade and would highly recommend checking him out. From contacts and glasses to LASIK, he's been outstanding. He's very thorough in his exams, explains procedures in layman's terms, and never pushes any products or procedures. My yearly check-ups feel more like a get-together with an old friend where I listen to the Grateful Dead and reminisce about ski adventures while he pokes me in the eye. read more

I have been a patient at the warm and welcoming practice for over 15 years, for good reason. I always recommend them when someone is looking for a new eye care provider. My family and I all go here. They have trendy styles and a big variety to choose from. Dr. Torrey is very knowledgeable and takes the time to explain things. read more

The best optometrist I have ever been to. I always feel welcomed, and their selection of glasses is wonderful. However, the most significant thing is how Dr. Torrey always take the time to answer all of my questions, (which is a feat in itself!) I never feel like I am rushed out of the office. They are professional and knowledgeable and I highly recommend The Bent Lense. read more

Great service. I've been going here for years and have always been really happy with the doctor and pricing.
