SEE

I came in for the first time today and was overwhelmed at the amount of (dare I call them…) hipster frames that were way cooler than me. It was honestly a good selection though, lots of unique frames that came in both conventional and non-​conventional styles and colours, all exactly what I was looking for. I worked with Sammy and got stuck between two frames. As the day wound down all the ladies were willing to pitch in ideas on how the frames would turn out based on the thickness of my lenses for example (really thick) and whether or not my Asian nose needs nose pieces. And then once I picked a pair, helping me figure out pricing and making sure I got an itemized invoice for my weird reimbursing insurance. The pricing is on par and a little below some other, maybe more well-​known places (ahem, Lensmasters) so I was happy with pricing, especially for uniqueness. Overall it was a great experience. I’m waiting for my final product to give that final star! But I’m thinking they’ll get it in no problem.

This place has the cutest glasses. I would have gotten five pairs. There is a location in Ardmore pa so I will be going there when I need my next pair back in Philly. If you like really cool glasses this is the place to go!

Everything is still amazing in due to come in again! My glasses are amazing and did come quickly. It’s been about a year having them and they are amazing and not one scratch! People love when I wear them but I don’t wear them often sadly. They adjust the frames well right then and there if they seem off and offer cleaning wipes I would purchase a better case for your glasses if you plan on throwing them in a backpack with lots of things (mine bent but the glasses are fine) the cleaning solution I bought is alright not much different from others I’ve used but still nice to have. Anyways don’t be afraid to come to SEES!

Knowledgeable, friendly and efficient: my experience was top-​notch from start to finish. Tim, who helped me, was so easy to work with. He made sure that the fit was right before I left the store.
I also like the selection of frames and the choice of cases, most of which are included in the price.

Must be in the minority but this store has horrible customer service. I arrived determined to buy a new pair of glasses. I was already carrying my prescription from my optometrist and all I needed was help selecting new frames. I had read great reviews about the store here in Unilocal and having passed by the store many times was drawn by the selection and how stylish the store looked.
However, when I first arrived I was initially ignored by the two sales girls present although there was only one other couple in the store and they were not being attended to either. Eventually one of the girls approached me and asked what I was looking for. I said I needed new glasses and though I would prefer simple black frames I was open to anything. She told me they didn’t have much of that and didn’t even bother to show me one or try to convince me to try something new. Not wanting to have to get her attention again I finally gave up and left the store. Apparently people at this store either don’t care for customer service or don’t know their job is to convince people to buy their products. Guess it’s their loss because I would have bought something if someone would have attended to me and help me select some new frames.

This is a very hip funky eyeglass store. The designs are fun and they seem to attract a lot of customers. The price point is moderate but the glasses are not cheap by any means. The service staff is attentive and seem to be well-​trained. A nice place to shop.

See is one of very few optometrists that accepts my insurance so I tried them out. My experience was amazing, from booking the appointment, to picking out the perfect pair of specs with one of their stylists, Molly. The only drawback is the location and the parking situation. Traffic in the Cherry Creek shopping center is always awful, and parking is meter only, unless you park a few blocks away in the neighborhood close by and walk up, which in the winter can be a pain.
I loved my experience, and will be referring all of my vision impaired friends to SEE for their next pairs of specs.
Thanks Molly for all of your help and expertise!

The staff was very friendly and accommodating with my schedule. However, they are the only reason I’m giving two stars. The eye doctor seemed stressed out, which is understandable at the end of the year, but no excuse for being rude. I felt like I was inconveniencing her and I was the customer. She definitely could learn a thing or two about customer service from the rest of the staff.

Im giving See Eyewear one star because as all Unilocalers know, no one reads the five star reviews. Everyone reads the one stars to see the dirt. Well about 8 years ago I switched to progressive lenses. The first pair I had for about 4 years and other than having no lines on the lenses I really couldn’t see (pun intended) what the big deal was — constantly adjusting my glasses/​computer monitor etc. the next pair I had was like night and day, huge improvement to the point where the only problem was having to take them off to read. Which brings me to See Eyewear; was time for a new pair and was adamant that I was done with progressive lenses. My eye exam was the most thorough I’ve had (worn glasses all my life) and at the end was convinced that progressives were still the way to go. Brought in my own frames had lenses placed in them and was told two week wait. My glasses (along with a pair of sunglasses I ordered) arrived in 10 days. My glasses are without a doubt THE best glasses I have ever owned! People who don’t wear glasses or people with crappy glasses don’t realize what a life changing event being able to see properly is. See Eyewear thank you thank you thank you MWAH!!!

Fantastic service. I am from out of the area and they really helped in my hour of need! They communicated with my personal optometrist and were able to solve my problem. Thumbs up to excellent service.”

What a great experience! I needed to get an eye exam done, and after seeing all of the great reviews, decided to go to SEE to get it done. The optometrist I saw was slow to warm up to but ended up being very personable, efficient, and answered all of my questions.
Afterwards, I had some help picking out frames. Thanks, Danielle!

If your taste in frames tends to gravitate to the «understated» and/​or «reserved» end of the spectrum, then you may not find your next pair of glasses here. While I want to cringe for using the word «hip» to describe what I was looking for, hip frames were indeed what I had in mind. Enter, SEE.
I did a bit of research online about what type of frames may be best suited for my face shape before I headed into SEE. It was refreshing to hear the woman who assisted me recommend/​pull the same styles of glasses, as well as make comments about my hair color and the frame color. She knew her stuff AND the internet didn’t lie to me — yay.
I ended up buying the first pair of glasses that I tried on and was quoted a two week wait time for them to arrive. However, two weeks ended up just being 5 days, so I really appreciated that.
I have had an eye exam here in the past, but eye dilation is essentially my least favorite thing on the planet, so I now go to an office that has the technology to skip over that part of the exam. However, if you don’t mind the dilation bit, the doctor I saw in the past seemed to be thorough.

SEE is my go-​to for new glasses. They have a great selection of frames that make a statement, and frames that are more subtle. I tend toward the latter, and know SEE’s designs are still going to be stylish without taking over.
Heidi is always very friendly and very helpful. I try to go when she’s in. Over the years we’ve developed a rapport and she remembers my style and preferences and knows what I’m looking for. On my most recent visit, the first pair Heidi pulled was perfect. Tried on several others, and kept going back to the first one she pulled. Spot on. I was in and out in 15 minutes.

Excellent service, reasonable prices and frames that are fun and trendy. What’s not to like!

After researching local optometrists, this one seemed to be the best.
Dr. Choe gave me an eye exam answering all my questions and not rushing me through them. She was even able to perform the colorblind test which most other places I called didn’t even know what it was.
The presentation of the store if very clean and neat. The girls working there are extremely helpful. Frame designs are fun, hipstery if it’s what you’re lookin’ for. I went with a more classic frame myself.
They do reminder calls which is nice. The self pay prices are good if you can find a Groupon, personally I missed out on this so I ended spending around $ 400 for eye exam w/​contacts, 1 frame with premium lenses.
Overall, I’m very satisfied with the service they provided.

Their selection was amazing. I rarely wear my glasses because I can never find the perfect frame. But now I wear them all the time and get a ton of compliments on them. They took a couple days to get used to because I was no way used to seeing so clearly. But I absolutely am in love with my frames.

I think this place has gotten spendier since they released the Groupon (I should have purchased). I’m pretty sure that during my first visit (before the Groupon came out), frames were $ 99 and seldom over $ 200. When I visited more recently, I was hard pressed to find frames under $ 300. Drats.
That said, considering the sticker shock I had at Visionworks (which is a lower budget eyecare provider, to me), $ 300 for frames and then lenses with a 35% discount for VSP insurance (even though they don’t accept VSP) seemed like a pretty bangin’ deal. Well, maybe notsomuch banging, but reasonable for ultra-​trendy frames. Add that to a no-​interest-​for-​six-​months, SEE credit card with a 10% discount and it’s really not so bad.
Seriously, every frame is «cool» here. Maybe it’s not something you, personally, would wear, but cooler than you nonetheless. Even the ladies who work there are cool and very friendly while selecting the frames that best suit your face.
This is no Lenscrafters, so glasses are ready in about a week. Because Cherry Creek can be a sheer parking nightmare, I recommend parking in the Whole Foods garage, walking a few blocks to SEE, and then making a Whole Foods visit and getting your parking ticket validated. Not only do you feel super productive for having accomplished two errands in one go, you also have some very hipsterlike glasses to show for it.

This place seriously rocks. I’ve tried a few other places (here’s a throwback — pig latin! — Mericabay’s Estbay, and Isionworksvay; wouldn’t want to use their real names) and had issues at both places, and just OK service, and felt like just a number in a cattle car.
Since I work practically next door I thought I’d pop in at SEE. The selection is not as big as one of the bigger low-​budget multi-​city chain stores, but that’s because they don’t have ugly frames. So if you cut out all the ugly, scary frames you’d find in other stores, you’d be left with SEE. Only, never mind, they actually have an amazing array of super cute, hip, and generally awesome frames; way more than any other place I’ve been.
I really liked the eye doctor. She did all the tests herself, unlike other places where some of the eye exam portion is farmed out to employees with (it seemed to me) dubious training. Oh, and they didn’t do the puff of air in the eyes; it was something else instead. Yay SEE!
I’ve never had so many cool choices before, and whereas at other places it seemed they don’t have the technology or know-​how or whatever to do progressive lenses in anything other than large frames, here, no matter what frames I chose, it seemed not to be a problem. Got the glasses in less than two weeks (with a holiday thrown in there), and they are fantastic. They’re light and wonderful and I swear the lenses feel more clear than I’ve ever had before.
They are just a little bit more expensive than what I’ve had before (of course I had to choose one of the most expensive frames), but a lot of what is «add-​on» at the other places is standard here. Everyone was super friendly and helpful.
As an aside, I’m not used to shopping in Cherry Creek (hey, I live in the ‘burbs where we like our massive chain stores and you can go shopping in sweats), and sometimes, quite frankly, am hesitant to shop in CC because I feel like I’m just not rich and hip enough. Didn’t feel that here at all. I’ll be back at SEE for my next exam/​glasses.

2012 Review #208:
Well, I hate to be the obviously lone dissenter here, but I really had a terrible experience. I was really excited to drop in, because I finally have vision insurance and the SEE website made it sound like they took my insurance. They did note to contact my local store, but it was late at night, and I knew I’d be in the area anyway. For the record though, how hard could it possibly be for the Denver store page on the SEE website to list the insurance they accept? I feel like that would take 5 minutes to do and would be really helpful.
Anyway, I walked in and there was only one other customer in the store. I was greeted briefly, and asked what I needed. I explained that I now had vision insurance and needed a backup/​few times a week pair of glasses. Turns out this SEE does not take VSP, a very common vision insurance provider, but they do offer a 30% discount through it. The saleswoman said «well actually, VSP eyeglass providers will charge you a lot more, so our glasses will be cheaper anyway.» Um, yeah. $ 169 – 369 glasses are not cheap, period. Even with a 30% discount, that is not «cheap». Maybe in Cherry Creek, but not in my wallet’s estimation. Anyway, after this conversation the clerk proceeded to not help me in any way, and doted on the other woman in the store. The other clerk sat and did nothing.
I looked at the frames, which are almost all thick, plastic frames, many nearly identical, with a few in metal and a few in thinner styles. At one point, the same saleswoman came up to me and asked if I was seeing anything, to which I desperately replied, «no». She laughed and walked away. I went to the other side of the store and she finally came and asked me what my old frames looked like. I said, «narrow squovals, (square ovals, people), in a copper color.» She proceeds to hand me, one at a time, three different pairs to try on. Every, single, one, was thick plastic in *camo* print.
Take a moment to look at my Unilocal photos. Does my face scream «CAMO!» to you? Let me know if it does, because I have never gotten an «army brat» vibe from my face. I even said at one point «I really am not interested in a camo print», to which she handed me yet another camo print frame, this one with lenses so big they came halfway down my cheekbones. I tried them on and said «I just think these make me look about 75 years old.» she then turned around, walked away, and did not speak to me again. Perhaps I truly insulted her love of the elderly, or camo.
After desperately still trying to find something, the other saleswoman came over and selected a few things for me to try. At no point had anyone said anything about the type of frame that suited my face shape, eye color, hair color, cheekbones, etc. if I’m paying hundreds of dollars for frames, I expect the clerks to tell me why a frame should look good, and what I should look for. Instead they seemed to pick the frames at random. Finally the girl said «well these will good with your hair» which I appreciated because it gave me something to consider. When I tried them on I just felt very schoolmarmish. I said «I’m a teacher, so I’d really like glasses that do not make me look like a teacher.» To me, this is a helpful statement, because it implies that I want to look refined, stylish, not matronly. Her response? She silently walked away and ignored me.
I was not spoken to again until I finally gave up and had to leave. I understand that maybe this is just not the style of store for me, but could you at least try? Listen to my preferences? Could you tell me what to look for since you clearly don’t want to help me? If I had any idea why they were giving me cat-​eye frames and camo-​print old-​lady glasses, maybe it would have made me feel better, but it felt like I could have done better my closing my eyes and choosing blind. With this service experience, I think I’d rather be blind.

Trendy, fashionable, urban, and affordable.
SEE Eyewear is definitely the most cost efficient optical in the Cherry Creek area. On top of that, they have the most current and forward fashion you could find in glasses.
As their own brand, they create a unique and edgy look in prescription spectacles, and they push you into a realm that you didn’t think you could handle.
If you’re a more «conservative» eyeglass wearer, please steer clear of this place. Virtually every frame here makes a statement!
Highly recommended, stop in, you’ll likely never wear glasses anywhere else after here.
