Paul Gross Eyeglass Repair

I have been coming to Paul for years :)
He always does a great job on fixing my daughters glasses not only is he great at fixing glasses he is fast and very affordable I have never paid more than 5 $ … I highly recommend Paul

Used to be the best place to take your glasses. Unsure as to whether or not Paul Gross is still there though — and the level of repair expertise is taken a nosedive. We’ve been taking the same pair of glasses to Paul for years — and he always fixed them with no problem. Since the young lady started doing the repairs — suddenly they can’t be done. Wish Paul was still there! *sigh*

I was worried that Mr. Gross retired as he was not there about a month ago. His assistant/​daughter? did a fine job with a minor tuneup. However, this made me really appreciate him that much more. He is a true gem and has us all spoiled!

I did a quick Google search for glasses repair and this place came up. I wasn’t really expecting much. Yea, I was definitely pleasantly surprised at how awesome this place is.
I brought in two pairs of glasses, one of which were gold vintage frames. I had broken one of the arms and was doubting whether they’d be able to find a replacement arm that would match the rest of the frame. However, much to my surprise, they had spare parts in the back that matched the same tone and look. Even better: both my glasses were repaired in under 20 minutes. Seriously, I’ll be recommending this place to anyone that needs some glasses TLC.

This man is AMAZING. So fast so efficient, and best of all SO INEXPENSIVE. Fixed both my Rayban sunglasses AND my Rayban glasses all for only 8 $, and under 5 minutes. Made my day, such a nice man. Overall would definitely recommend to anyone in need of glasses repairs.

I went to this place because of the reviews. I gave it a 3 star because the customer service was horrible. I thought I would be greeted by Paul Gross but instead was greeted by someone who spoke fair English but didn’t have the cultural affect of Americans. Her name was Sam and she was rude! I originally knew about this place through a Sears tech optician who said Paul Gross would be able to fix my sunglasses. This girl Sam took a look at it, didn’t take out the screws, and told me it couldn’t be fixed. Okay maybe it can’t be fixed, but I have a hard time believing her because I want to fix my sunglasses so the pressure would be equal on both sides. If this place is so good, why can’t they repair it? This place gets 2 stars for her rudeness.

My boyfriend broke both the hinges on my eyeglasses. Went in and got it fixed the same day and took only under an hour! Great service.

Mr. Gross is amazing and a very competent craftsmen! very friendly!
Fixed two pair of glasses in 30 min. W/​guaranteed work.
Plus the building is an amazing piece of mid– century design. Hopefully it’ll stay exactly as is.
Thanx Paul Gross eye repair

I drove to Glendale this morning based on the great reviews. Everyone is correct. The very nice Mr. Gross fixed my two seriously «tweaked» eyeglasses in about 15 minutes and charged me $ 8.00. If you need eyeglass repairs, this is the place!

I dropped my prescription sunglasses in a parking lot, while they were inside a hard case, and before I noticed what I had done they were run over by a car.
After prying the case open I was sad to see that my glasses pretty much looked like they were history. The lenses were not broken but both of the pieces that go behind my ears were terribly bent and one of the ear pieces (not sure what they are called) looked like it was about to break off completely.
Paul Gross fixed my glasses to look almost-​like-​new in 10 minutes (if that long), and charged me $ 8. I told him he was a magician! I’ve read a few reviews below and have noticed others here have referred to him that way as well :)

Paul did a great job for me, fixed my sunglasses, (cheap too) now they are like new.
For over 20 years this guy, Eats, sleeps and breathes eyeglass repair
If you go anywhere else you are crazy. Enought said!!!

I am not sure how I managed it, but I sat on my glasses, and broke the side piece off at the frame. I called Lens Crafters, but since the glasses are over a year old they wouldn’t repair them, they thought this was a sign for me to shell out a few hundred dollars for new glasses. Next I went to some upscale froo froo place I found reviews for on Unilocal.However, as soon as they saw that these weren’t fancy or vintage eyewear they said «I am sorry but that can’t be fixed» and walked away from me like I had something contagious!
I decided to try one more place before tossing my glasses that I really do need, and like into the trash, so I came here. Next day, the impossible was done– glasses fixed for $ 17.00.
So– if your glasses need repaired, I suggest coming here first! They were helpful, honest, not overpriced, and not snooty!

For WAY less than the price of lenses, they fixed two expensive pairs of glasses like BRAND NEW!!!
There aren’t enough stars here to give you on the fine repair work that was done on my glasses! Thank you, thank you, thank you and I’m recommending you to ALL of my friends!!!

There’s a reason this guy has a 5 star rating.
He fixed my «un-​fixable» frames in 10 minutes for $ 12.00!
Saved me A LOT of money.

Paul is a great guy and he repaired all 3 of my glasses. Ive had these broken pairs that my dog has chewed, ive stepped on, and sat on. He fixed all 3 and told me one of them was too far broken, but that he would give it a try anyways. He quoted me $ 84 for the lot. I agreed to pay the price, but when he called back he told me it wasnt as challenging as he thought and that there would be a $ 10 discount. I already agreed to the price, and he still lowered it because he thought it was fair.
To sum it up. He fixed some glasses that were extremely broken, gave me a fair price, and now i have over $ 1000 in glasses i get to wear again by spending $ 74. Pretty Sweet Deal.

Paul just saved me (and my friend) $$$$. My friends oh so cute Pomeranian puppy chewed my glasses while I passed out on their couch after poker night. Come morning, my glasses were not where I had left them. When we did find them, it was in the crate. My temple pieces of a very expensive prescription glasses (~$ 600) were chewed off. I was hoping to have the arms replaced, but Paul was able to remove the chewed up temple pieces and replace it with a equivalent one.
It took me longer to drive there than to get it fixed. Paul is the man. It cost me $ 8 and I tipped him another 20.
Totally worth it! Guys like paul are worth supporting.

This guy IS a magician!
Very reasonable prices, and fixed my glasses I thought would be a lost cause. Had to jury rig the hinge and temple to make it work, doesn’t look perfectly original — but it works, and you can’t tell if I’m wearing them. Would’ve cost me a few hundred bucks to get another pair, so it was definitely worth it.

This man is a magician. Gets your glasses fixed, tells you want is possible with his tools, but if he doesn’t have what is needed to get it fixed, he’ll tell you what steps you need to take to get the products and get it fixed. Fixed my glasses about 2 years ago and this time fixed my girlfriend’s in 10 mins flat. Small shop, reasonable prices, good man, and a needed place when your glasses need attention.

Yes folks, the reviews are true! I twisted and distorted a fabulous pair of aviators about three years ago. Not wanting to buy another pair, due to the ridiculous price, I kept them on a shelf and sighed every time I passed by wondering if I would ever wear them again. Over the course of those years, I attempted to get them repaired at several optical shops, including the place where they were purchased. Nobody would touch them because they didn’t want the liability.
I don’t know why I didn’t check Unilocal sooner, but I am glad I did. I walked in, was greeted by Paul, and presented my problem. He informed me that he could fix them but needed to attend to a customer that was there that had a taxi waiting for her. I told him I’d leave them and pick them up at a later time. After all, I waited about three years, so what was another day or two?
Then what happened next blew my socks off: He pulled a Mr. Miyagi! He placed my specs on the counter, twisted a little here, a little there, and WHAM! Glasses totally back to normal in under 40 seconds. As I was getting over my initial shock while trying them on he stated, «That’ll be a dollar.» What what what?! I gave him $ 10 and my undying loyalty for future optical repairs.
Thanks Unilocalers for not steering me wrong and introducing me to this great place. I cannot wait to recommend this place to my friends. Now the only shade I’m going to throw, will be on my eyes!

Paul Gross is a godsend! No really he works wonders and it sucks that I just now got acquainted with his eye-​glass sorcery. My father damaged two vintage (I mean extremely old design) Ray Ban glasses and needed them to be repaired. Of course he didn’t have a warranty because they were so old and when I called Ray Ban directly they sent me on a wild-​goose chase. Basically you can send them your glasses but if they aren’t under warranty they will hold them hostage until you pay the full amount of the repair, and you won’t know that price until they receive the pair… NO THANKS!
I decided to do my own research and came across Paul Gross. His shop is a bit far from me but from reviews I found online I knew it would be worth it. One of the glasses has a beyond repairable scratched lens and the other had a missing arm. I took the glasses in on a Saturday, Paul was courteous and knowledgeable, he even knew that getting these glasses fixed was no easy task since they were so old. Luckily he is a wizard and had a spare arm for one of the pairs (the last arm on this earth because they do not make the glasses anymore) and he was able to fix it and less than 15 mins. The other pair required parts to be shipped from Ray Ban, which Paul took care of himself and just charged the cost of the lens.
All together I paid about $ 100 to fix both glasses. This would have been less if I didn’t have to order the lens from Ray Bans which was about $ 60. The finished product was amazing, the glasses looked new and he even fixed one of the pairs that was warped due to heat damage. He even offered to adjust them free of charge! Overall GREAT experience.
Its CASH ONLY and he allows you to pay before or after pick up.
They aren’t open on Sundays.
Worth it if you have designer glasses that you don’t want to give up.
