Medford Optical

I find the people answering the phone & helping you when you get there to be annoying; but like the Eye Dr here!

120 $ the base model? You Fu*k kid me? And also there isn’t a lot models that you can choose … so good bye (the proprietary is a good person) but you can tell me that the model base for a couple of glasses is 120box … D:

I’m really terrible at getting annual eye exams. I remember needing glasses in the second grade because I never could read the board from the back row. However, it wasn’t until 9^th grade that I actually got glasses for the first time! Fast forward 15 years later, and I finally updated my glasses last year after visiting Medford Optical in Medford Square. Just the lenses, mind you, because I’m cheap and the frames aren’t broken yet, but this would have been a fine place to look for those too if I weren’t on such a tight budget.
From what I can tell, Medford locals work here, so it gives the place a very local-​business kind of feel. They are friendly enough, and it was easy to get an eye exam scheduled quickly after calling. If you have eye insurance, the exam only cost $ 10-​$ 20, and they’ll give you a prescription that you can fill right in the store, or at another more cost-​friendly place. I really liked my optometrist! She was an interesting older woman, who I worried about at first due to her style of dress. She looked like she was a 60 year old dressed like a 20 year old! Studded stilettos, orange fitted pants suit, cleavage showing, and big gold jewelry covered her. Despite the distraction, she really did do a thorough job, and really took her time to make sure that I had the best exam possible. If I need another eye exam in the future, I’ll definitely come back.

Very professional staff. THE place to go for kids’ eyeglasses. I have been purchasing my daughter’s eyeglasses here for almost 5 years. They are a little bit pricier than chain stores, but they stand behind their work. That is huge with a child in glasses and all the things that can happen. They are prompt with their orders, service, and phone calls. They offer a discount if you are paying out of pocket. I did have the same issue with the Living Social deal, it was pretty much equal to their regular discount. Other than that, I am a very satisfied customer!

Always friendly and helpful! Great kids frames. My daughter got hers at 10 mo old. Good hours too. Have been very gracious with minor repairs.
