Elio’s Optical Vision Center

Tengo viniendo a esta localidad X 3 vez cada vez k los tengo k cambiar pues no soy muy buena cuidando y yo he probado en otros lugares y no me convencen, ya k ellos tienen muy buena calidad de productos y todo tipo de variedad hasta los más económicos k puedas comprar, magnifica atención y cualquier problema tienes un año de garantía, de lo único k si tienes k esperar es, si te mides la vista k ahí si tienes k ser paciente X lo tanto yo ya vengo con la receta pero no cambio este lugar X nadie se los recomiendo, Sonia fue la muchacha k me atendió automáticamente k entre X la puerta y agradecida totalmente, no me demore en la localidad ni 2 hr
Lo k más me gusta es k todas son profecíonales y llevan en la localidad muchos años y eso cuenta mucho para mi.

Fast, affordable, and friendly. Huge selection of inexpensive as well as High Scale Frames.

If I could give them 0 stars I would. I came here once hoping to get an eye exam and new glasses. The place was packed with people waiting but you’d think someone in the front desk would greet you to get a ticket or something. Nothing. I decided to chalk it up to being a busy day. I was wrong. Walked in at around 4 pm a month later and there was only one body getting her glasses checked. An older guy walked in before me and the same older lady in the front acknowledged him. She directed him to his pick up but didn’t even raise her glance at me once while I stood in front of her desk for a 5 minutes while she wandered about. She had a bad mood look on her face. The other ladies seemed to be chitchatting amongst themselves. Anyway, I walked out. Never again.

Very long wait — but prices are very good.
I was pleased with the results & will def go back there in a year when it’s time to do next exam. Their website is very nice.

expect to be ignored…
Walked in at 1:30 sat down with no greeting or recognition of my presence at all after waiting almost 45 minutes I walked out at now 2:18 without any of the associates blinking an eye. I really needed an eye exam. But the service was very disappointing. I hope others receive better service than I did
12÷1÷15.

Excelente atención del personal, tienen muchas personas preparadas que atienden al público por lo que la espera es mínima. Me quedé gratamente sorprendida de la variedad de marcas de lentes que ofrecen y de la rapidez con que pueden montar los nuevos cristales en las monturas para que te lleves los lentes de inmediato. Buen estacionamiento y grandes y cómodas instalaciones. Hice el viaje desde Aventura a la óptica y valió la pena como para repetirlo. Pueden también llevarte los lentes a casa u oficina sin inconveniente! 100% Recomendados

Great customer service. Dedicated employees with years of experience who give great suggestions

We are visiting Miami for a month and my daughter had an eye problem and couldn’t wear contacts. After Unilocaling around for a one day eyeglass place I found Elios. I think the woman who patiently waited on my 18 year old daughter who thought she wanted «old man glasses» name was Marlene or Maureen. In any case she didn’t push her towards the most expensive glasses, she listened to her criteria and was exceptionally patient.
This is not a fancy neighborhood. They have a large parking lot and probably 6 very professional people working both times we were there.
The eyeglass selection is amazing. So much better than a lenscrafters or the place I gave a negative review of in Mary Brickell. They have every high end brand I could think of and they had a great selection of hipster, funky, artsy glasses of all shapes and colors. There was no upcharging. They didn’t have ten extras they charge you for at the end. For $ 200 including her strong prescription and anti-​glare we walked away very satisfied (even the 18 year old).
This is how eyeglass shopping should be. I am going to go get a pair for myself before heading back to Boston.

They’re polite and professional. I need to come back, I had to step out for an emergency. But this place is great. I’ll update when I come back.

I was sooo very impressed with their customer service & the overall experience. I got an eye exam for just $ 35 and that included getting my eyes tested, checking the optic nerve functioning, getting my eye pressure checked and the optometrist also gave me an eye routine to follow for the health for my chronic migraines. They accommodate you they best they can. Everybody is just so nice. I would definitely go back again. The best experience I’ve ever had when it comes to eye examination. Thank you Unilocalers for helping me find this wonderful wonderful place. I am so happy.

This place has the right idea! I had never experienced such efficiency at an optical office until I arrived at Elio’s. Let me walk you through my experience. After finding this place on Unilocal,I kept reading reviews about the large selection of glasses and low costs associated with them as well as their eye exams. I decided to give it a shot. I had been worried my vision has been gradually deteriorating due to being an eternal student in my 30s. I have been putting off going to the eye doctor because of the back and forth in getting an exam, finding glasses and finally picking up the lenses. So I decided to buy a pair through Gilt and add my prescription on the same day the glasses would arrive. This can only be done at Elio’s. You walk in, grab a ticket, and then meet with a doctor who will perform the eye exam. As soon as that was over, you inform him/​her that you want the prescription added to a selected pair and they will be done very quickly. I walked across the street, grabbed a coffee and walked back to the optical to pick up the glasses. All in about an hour! The eye exam and adding the prescription to the glasses was about 70 dollars! A steal, people! Plus you get free UV coating when you check in.

I had lot’s issues with my eyes and really needed help with my situation. I have a prescription from Balscom Palmer and researched on the best doctor to help me with my problem. I had a head injury a while ago and had a l implant and a cataract removed do to surgery complication on my left eye and my prescriptions are very challenging.
After spending a huge amount of time explaining my issues to eye glass stores and looking for a place that will guide me to the right frames and lenses, I was so amazed to find this place.
Everything about these people is 100% honesty. From advising me that my current frame is not correct for my type of prescription (the lady that first help me on the prescription office told me that I did not need a new prescription, what I needed is a correct frame) how honest is that? She could had just charged me for the prescription and the advise anyway.
Then I met Barbara, she was so patient and really cared that I had such a hard time at my job because I spend a long time in front of a computer and need my progressive lenses to feel comfortable. She did just that, she helped me find a comfortable pair of glasses that worked for me.
Initially you may be intimated because everyone speaks Spanish, I started by trying to speak Spanish back and they told me that it was ok to speak English and they were both extremely fluent in English.
This looks like a business that exists because it’s reputation and customer service. There is no no nonsense here, just the service that our parents and grandparents experienced from local business.
I just wish I would be treated this well everywhere I went.
I will return over and over and will recommend this place to everyone I know.
To the owner of this business I just want to tell you not to change anything EVER, you are doing everything right. I also lived that you are employing people that are not young and rude. Those ladies know exactly how to keep the integrity of your vision on.

I had an amazing experience at Elio’s Optical Vision Center. I found it through Unilocal,called about 7 Optical Centers in my area and visited 3. They had the best prices in town for eye exams, for contact lenses, they gave me samples and had unbelievable customer service!!! :) I really loved it. And the doctor was amazing as well. I will definitely keep going there if I need anything in regards to my vision and I will recommend it to all my friends and family.

I give 3 stars because of the employee JACKIE with her rudeness was not helpful to a known customer for years. Aside from that this place has a wide selection of glasses. Great system but sometimes some glitches. They are helpful. But not Jackie. She should think of a new profession. Customer service isn’t her cup of tea

Great service! You can get glasses, contacts and a prescription if you need one.

I was really surprised coming in at the selection and service of this little shop.
No appointment required to get a vision exam and you do not need insurance. My $ 60 eye exam gave me a prescription for contacts and glasses. if you just want glasses it’s $ 30.
The selection of frames is great, I had no trouble finding the kind of glasses I wanted. Best of all they crafted the lenses for the frames in about 30 minutes!
I got many trial pairs of contacts to get by while they ordered and shipped me some new contacts. The price of the contacts are actually a lot better than the usual
website I use.

From looking at the outside of this place, and the neighborhood it’s in, you’d never guess the great selection and service you’ll find on the inside.
My family has been coming to this place for 25 years … yup, that’s right, 25 years! I got my first pair of glasses when I was 6 and this is where I got them (in their old, smaller location of course). I went in 2 days ago looking for some Dior glasses and Chanel sunglasses and their selection did not disappoint. Before going, I went to 8 other opticals in the Kendall/​Pinecrest area and NO ONE could come close to the selection.
I will say there is only 1 downside to Elio’s … the fact that they do not deal with insurance/​vision plans. The price they say is the price they say … no discounts or buy one get one free deals.

This is the place to go for eye exams and glasses in Miami, don’t bother going to Bascom Palmer unless you have glaucoma or macular degeneration. It’s impossible to get an appointment and their optical store doesn’t have a wide selection.
I’ve probably called just about every store in Miami and could not find a place that offers same day service including exam. I needed new glasses asap.
You walk in (no appointments necessary), take a number, you put your chin on 5 different machines as they rotate around on the turntable, and you head to the exam room for the eye exam. I was done in less than 30 mins.
They have a lab on-​site so you can get your lenses in 30 mins. One plus is that they have a free parking lot. I was out the door in less than an hr. Only negative is that they don’t have AR coated lenses in stock, must wait 3 days.
The best part about Elio’s is the price. You get a full eye exam by an eye doctor (with a PhD in optometry) who dilates your eye, checks your retina with a slit lamp, checks your cornea for abrasions/​infections, yada yada. I paid less than $ 100 for the exam and a new pair of glasses. At Edward Biener in Brickell, I paid $ 75 just for an eye exam.
