Marblehead Opticians

I love this place and particularly the people who work there. Didn’t need glasses til I was 40 and I would never go anywhere else. Highly recommend!

Gary & Jim always find the perfect eyewear to fit my style. Wouldn’t think of shopping anywhere else!

Gary is a skilled and caring optician. Genuinely good guy who sells excellent quality eyewear.

Gary and Jim and team are awesome. Professional and really know their optics. Would recommend them to anyone who needs quality eyewear!

Highly recommend!!! I am one of those folks who never gives a review but had to praise Gary for the exceptional service I received. After «gently» stepping on and crushing my favorite light weight Alex Miles frame that were several years old, I researched and discovered Marblehead Opticians and was referred to Gary. I contacted Gary from my home in Florida and he quoted me the most reasonable price for a new frame popping in my old lenses. Being mostly a contact lens wearer, the lenses were still in great shape. I wanted the same frames as they are extremely comfortable and lightweight. He was so helpful and customer service centric which is getting rarer these days. Mailed the broken glasses up and was excited to get a brand new pair back in the mail within the same week. If you haven’t checked them out yet, I highly recommend you consider them. They even threw in a yummy piece of candy in my glasses case! :)

Hands down, best customer service!
Scratched up my lenses on my Olivers People sunglasses and went in to order replacements. They were really helpful with showing me the different tints, polorized vs. non-​polorized, etc.
Will definitely be going back for future eyeball needs!

best place to buy eyewear. excellent selection. was in twice, first time to pick out my pair which they allowed me to bring home, when i returned them i was awaiting an eye appointment with my personal eye doctor before purchasing the glasses with an old perscription. i arrived at 3 and gary was in the process of closing. he held the store open and gave me an eye exam, buying the glasses that day. they arrived within 24 hours. couldnt have had better service. john was the rep who fit me for the glasses. very thorough and methodical. only advice, go early because the store can get surprisingly busy.

I was visiting Marblehead for the day when I noticed that my glasses felt loose. I took it to the guys at the store and they were so welcoming to my family and me. They fixed my glasses right on the spot free of charge. Great guys at this store, and they know their Boston sports!

Best optical shop ever. These guys couldn’t be more helpful or knowledgable. Killer selection of frames.

Exceptional selection and service. I can get a little (too) flamboyant with my eyewear, so I like that these awesome fellas are not afraid to talk me down from making a bad decision. Plus, if you ask nicely they’ll bring out a secret stash of vintage frames. I may live in California now, but — commute be damned — I refuse to shop for glasses anywhere else.

I absolutely love Marblehead Opticians. I do not even live in MA, but it’s worth waiting unitl I am in Marblehead to make an eyewear purchase. They have the best selection I have seen even compared to any department store, chain or other specialty store. I have a small face and was able to easily find a fabulous pair of Chanel frames. This is not easy for me anywhere, except here. The staff is super knowledgeable, friendly and helpful. They carry everything from Maui Jim, Ray Ban, Chanel, Gucci, Tom Ford, Prada etc. This is the place for your eye wear.

Absolutely the BEST place to purchase glasses. It makes me want to move to Marblehead just so I could stop by and get my glasses adjusted at anytime, but more so that I could hang out and chat with Jim and his satisfied customers.
Incredibly friendly (and funny),

Need new glasses? Marblehead Optician is your place. The excellent service and care is worth the drive. Now I need to move to Marblehead…
Over the top, Jim!

Simply the best collection of eyewear around. You’ll feel like you’re friends with everyone there.

I’ve never had so much fun buying glasses. I’m glad I need them because it gives me an excuse to visit Marblehead Opticians. In fact, I think everyone needs a complete wardrobe of optical wear from this unique boutique. For sunglasses to prescription eyewear there is no other place to go for the best in selection and service.

I skipped the mall and tried Marblehead Opticians when my favorite pair of sunglasses broke and was looking to upgrade. This was the best experience I’ve had buying sunglasses. I’m used to the Sunglasses Hut experience where you point to a pair, try them on, point to a pair, try them on etc.
At Marblehead Opticians they are honest when a pair aren’t a good match for my face shape, which I appreciate. I found a couple pairs that were okay until they started pulling sunglasses out of the back and after a couple tries we found a pair that I couldn’t be happier with. I’ve never seen that kind of customer service at a Sunglasses Hut or department store. I ended the day with an amazing pair of sunglasses within my budget. Thanks guys!

These guys are great. Some of the best customer service I’ve ever experienced. When I bought my first pair of prescription eyeglasses there, the lenses had some kind of manufacturer defect. I brought them back after a couple of weeks, pointed it out, and received my new glasses 2 days later, no charge.
A few months later, my non-​prescription sun glasses broke. They had cost me about $ 250 at Sunglass Hut. I brought them to Sunglass hut and they told me they couldn’t do anything to help me but they would give me 15% off a new pair if I wanted to do that. No thanks.
I brought my broken sunglasses into Marblehead Opticians, where I didn’t even buy them, and they fixed them, while I waited, at no charge! Good as new.

I had fun buying glasses! This adorable boutique carries a huge selection of designer glasses (Chanel, Prada, Tory Burch, Kate Spade, Vera Wang, Gucci, etc). The two owners are a hoot and know their trade inside and out. They will be honest and not let you buy glasses that do not fit your face, while not feeling pushy or mean about it. Very professional! The prices did not seem unreasonable by any means.
If you need to buy glasses anytime soon, this place is worth the drive! It will blow Lenscrafters out of the water any day of the week!
