When I went back with what seemed like a problem with the main (graduated) pair it turned out that the prescription was a little off. He did not charge me for the new lens (based on a new prescription)! In passing I had mentioned that I realized I didn't really like the reading glasses after all, and he exchanged the frame, again without charge. He knows his business and values his customers, and I am now a loyal one.

Christos at Soma Optical is hands down the best optician I have ever met. I have worn glasses all…read moremy life and have purchased eyeglasses from opticians all around Boston and in the various cities I've lived in across the country. Working with Christos was by far the best experience I have ever had. With other opticians I've found that they tend to just say "yes" to whatever you pick or to base their recommendations solely on style rather than paying attention also to fit and functionality. I inevitably left with glasses that never felt quite right or kept slipping down my face despite paying hundreds of dollars. Christos, on the other hand, is a true expert who knows how eyeglass frames should fit a face for maximum comfort and functionality while still working to find the best-looking frames for you out of his vast selection. After purchase, he is also meticulous about adjusting the frames for your face. Unlike other opticians, he actually has an opinion and can help you figure out how the frames ought to fit. And unlike most of the opticians I've purchased from in the past, he's genuinely skilled at adjusting frames and will really work with you and keep tweaking until the fit is *exactly* right. After my experience at Soma, I refuse to purchases eyeglasses from anywhere else. This is a true gem of a store and I plan to recommend it to anyone who will listen.

But the real star of Soma is the service. I am not exaggerating to say they go so far beyond the call of duty, it's almost unbelievable. Seriously, I am telling the truth. (And if you think I am prone to hyperbole or false niceness, just read some of my other reviews on Yelp.) In summary, my wife and I buy everything optical there and will continue to do so. They are great. Highly recommended without reservation!

Dr. T and his wife, Dr. Ratan are such a dynamic duo who are kind, friendly, empathetic, professional and witty. They are very accommodating to my very difficult eye prescriptions (extreme near-sightedness, far-sightedness and astigmatism) and give me the best solution for a clear vision without incurring unnecessary prescriptions for my needs. I just found out they'll be retiring soon and they'll be fondly missed. I wish them a very happy retirement and enjoy time with their family for the next chapter of their life. Thank you so much for all these years taking care of my eye care problems!

I took a bunch of pictures, and had time to sit and think on it. They gave me plenty of time to try many different frames with absolutely NO pressure on purchasing, which I really appreciate. They know they provide an extensive experience, mid to high-end options with excellent service. They have Cartier, Tom Ford, Miu Miu, Versace, Gucci, Ray Bans, and many more. After a couple weeks, I couldn't get this one frame out of my mind that I absolutely adored. I returned to order them, and they again let me try more frames & sunglasses, just to make sure. My heart was set on these Barton Perreira frames, which I hadn't heard of before, but I learned are handmade in Japan. I found the perfect frames for my face & personality, and they were more than happy to put an order in. My order was ready in about a week! They also have every type of lens if you have a higher prescription and need specialized lenses. They gave an amazing price and I'm so happy to find & support this business. Cohen's Fashion Optical on Boylston has top of the line designer frames, and glasses for every budget. Dolly & Danny couldn't be nicer and more welcoming. If you're looking for glasses or sunglasses, prescription or other, they have it all here. If you are picky or indecisive, they will help you with their 44 years of combined expertise.
