The staff there are not clerks, they are experienced eye-care professionals who ensure you get the right lenses and a flattering frame. — — The customer service we receive from long-time Pearle staffers, Lynn, Matt and Pam, is exceptional in its attentiveness, friendliness, professionalism and expertise. And that service goes beyond the initial purchase. They are always happy to clean our glasses, replace a screw or make a quick repair or adjustment— usually quickly and free of charge. — — In this day of surly, indifferent sales people, long waits at cash registers and incompetent revolving door employees, a visit to Pearle Vision in the Independence Mall is a refreshingly different experience. — — We highly recommend trusting YOUR eye-care to the Pearle Vision at...

I am truly fine with having to move into different glasses in order to see better and so I can see better at work. (I work with computer hardware (little computer components I need to be able to read the tiny print on the components)...the little components that go into games, medical equipment, life support, breaks and other items I can't say)). It was time to be able to see an "action board" and my computer all at the same time for the better. — Never in my life have my husband and I witnessed something like this at all. We saw the doctor and she did what she had to do and asking my husband we both liked her and felt she has been the best eye doctor we have ever seen in the past, but...

After he finished the procedure he escorted me to the parking lot at 5:30 in the morning and left me to sit in the parking lot to wait for my husband to come from over 45 minutes away.  Oh, and it was November 26th and mighty...

In the past I’ve gone to Pearl Vision located at 101 Independence Mall Way in Kingston, MA. — I have had extremely positive experiences in both locations. During my most recent visit I bought a pair with both progressive and Transitions Lenses (Transitions go from light to dark.) I first went looking in Kingston and probably had 25 pair of glasses that I was trying on. The woman helping me was very patient, helping me find glasses that I might like and telling me what she did and didn’t like. — I couldn’t find the right pair so I headed to Kingston. This Pearl Vision is independently owned which meant that they had some different glasses and were able to put my prescription in a smaller frame which the Kingston location couldn’t do. — Matt who had helped me at one point in Kingston was surprisingly in Hanover on the day I...

She had just bought a pair and really didn’t like them. I asked if she got them at Pearl Vision or Lens Crafter. I go to Pearl Vision and love the guarantee. Don’t like them? They’ll give you a new pair. I’ve never taken them up on this but it’s nice to know I could. — — In any case I suggested my mom go to Cove Optical located at Cove Shopping Center, 1609 S.E. 3rd Court in Deerfield Beach, Florida where she had bought the glasses. The owner, David Hayon, a licensed optician is located next to the ophthalmologist she sees. — — She did go back and told me that Mr. Hayon does not have a return policy. In addition though her glasses are transitions apparently the process used is not as good as the one I have since they don’t get as dark as they should. — — I am visiting my mom. She had an eye doctor...

It cannot correct a condition called presbyopia, or the natural aging of the eye. Presbyopia typically effects people over the age of 40 and results in the need for reading...
