The View On Elm

Although they didn’t carry the brand of eyeglasses I needed repaired, they tried their best and were very friendly. I expected it to be a somewhat stuffy atmosphere based on what I had heard about the place but that was not the case at all. Very helpful and I will definitely keep them in mind in the future.

I loathe shopping, but Becky Causey turned purchasing my first pair of bifocals into a very fun experience! If all shopping were like this I would enjoy and look forward to it. Impeccable taste, beautiful store, friendly staff and the best customer service I have ever had anywhere. The best place to go for eye wear as well as fine art and accessorizing yourself!

For those hard-​to-​find eyeglasses, the View on Elm IS the place. The View carries boutique brands exclusively; there are no shoddy, Chinese-​made «designer» frames here! The selection is amazing: Alain Mikli, Etnia Barcelona, Face a Face, Freudenhaus, ic! berlin, J.F. Rey, Kazuo Kawasaki, SALT, and others.
Along with the excellent selection, the shop features beautiful artwork and very comfortable surroundings while making your eye-​wear selection. As one would expect, the View dispenses only high-​end lenses (Crizal Sapphire UV) for its frames. While the prices are high, you get what you pay for; the View’s pricing is similar to comparable shops in other cities.
I was assisted by Deb, an optician, who was both pleasant and knowledgeable. While I already knew what I wanted, she offered me several dozen (literally) other options to try. It was fun to try on different looks without being pressured to buy or led to a particular frame. I stuck to my original choice — ic! berlin «greg» — and couldn’t be happier!
I’m enthusiastic to recommend the View on Elm to friends, family, and my fellow Unilocalers!
