The Eye Shop

Very very bad place to shop.
Please check the price on the Internet before you go there.
I paid $ 90 more in the store for same sunglasses.
I just wish you guys don’t go there.

Not going back!
I went to the place to order contacts lens. I already had prescriptions from previous shop I used to go to.
I inquired about ordering contacts and the owner made such a big deal, emphasizing multiple times that she is doing me a favor for selling contacts to me, since she makes «no profit» on contacts lens sales. (price is same as any other places– online is much cheaper, of course)
It bothers me enough that I’m forced to feel like favor is done to me when I’m the one purchasing what I want with MY MONEY. It doesn’t help that wrong type of contacts were ordered despite the fact that prescription specifically indicates which kind and brand. Unbelievable.

Dabo Eyewear told me I had to pay $ 175 for lenses alone because of my high prescription. I came here instead with no insurance coverage and paid $ 159 for a thorough eye exam, anti-​glare, high index compressed lenses, and frames.
It took so long to pick out frames but the people there were very patient and made helpful suggestions. The owner said the glasses would be fitted within the hour. I barely made it home when I got the call to come back and I only live a few blocks away. This place is awesome.

The Eye Shop might be confusing to find at first. It is a tiny store hidden in the back of another store, but once you see the shiny glass doors you will recognize it and will not be disappointed by its appearance. Smaller than most glasses shops, the bright, clean, white interior makes up for it. And the small size is what makes it cute.
The staff were really friendly and speak both Korean and English. There is an old man, an old woman, and a younger woman with a pleasant voice who does your eye exam. Eye exams cost $ 30. The old man likes to make small talk with you which can be awkward at times if you don’t know what to say but he’s being nice. Idk why, but older Korean adults just like to make small talk. He also made lots of recommendations for frames and told me which ones were the most popular.
The shop itself houses a nice but limited selection of designer frames (Ray Bans, Tiffany & Co, Coach, and Bvlgari) which cost $ 199 and up. The non-​designer frames cost around $ 150. There was also a large variety of $ 99 frames which I think were free if we bought lenses. The selection was nice but I wish they had more frames, and I wish they carried Marc Jacobs or Korean designer brands. It took me more than an hour for me to choose my frames because I am like that but the staff were really patient and seemed rather amused by my indecisiveness.
The Eye Shop told me and my sister that our glasses would be done in about an hour. Girl, they were done in less than 20 minutes. We ran back to the store quite amazed. Omg. If that is not fast service then I don’t know what is.
I got $ 150 frames, eye exam, high prescription lenses, and anti-​glare so it cost me around $ 300. As a student I felt like I was going to die in front of the counter as I paid, but I think compared to other eyeglasses shops it’s cheaper. And the service was really good. The people there are modest and aren’t as intimidating compared to other glasses shops. Plus my glasses are pretty. Hehe.
