Eye Glasses Galore

This place has the best prices for budget glasses, as well as very competitive prices for fashionable premium brands. I bought a pair for $ 69 dollars and they have held up to tons of abuse. That is until I put them in my ski jacket and they bent in ways that no glasses should. I went in to finally bite the bullet and buy a nice pair. The owner stayed after hours to help me decide all while completely fixing my old pair for free! I am now wearing my budget pair awaiting my new Kenneth Cole glasses. I can not recommend this store enough.

I recently got my first pair of glasses from here. The service was excellent, and I was able to pick up my glasses the next day (which was about 8 days faster than other places I looked at). There was a huge range of frames at very reasonable prices. The place is a little hard to find — it’s near the Starbucks next to Vons, in case that helps someone.

I walked in here looking to get my glasses adjusted. The guy was very rude and told me he once was sued for helping someone. I had to drive to the LensCrafters in Clairemont to get it done.

We are new to PB and don’t have an Optometrist yet so I went to Eye Glasses Galore because my frames just needed a little readjusting — no big deal. The girl at the counter said they wouldn’t touch them because they didn’t want to get «sued.» Wow. So obviously I’m not going to come here again and will take my business elsewhere. No customer service whatsoever.

Great customer service and wondeful selection of frames at fair prices. I have been a customer for years and they always stand behind their products.

I have purchased three pairs of glasses from Eyeglasses Galore. I didn’t like how one of the pairs turned out and they made a replacement for me at no additional charge. When the glasses only cost $ 80-​$ 120 a pair, this is a very good deal. Highly recommended.

Doesn’t pay bills to suppliers. That usually means they will not get their orders from suppliers in a timely manner. Making you wait for your glasses.

I haven’t gotten my glasses yet but my first experience was pretty great.
I came in because the nosepads on my glasses that I’ve had for like 10 years finally gave out HAHA He said it would be a $ 10 cost which I was like OK I really need this so I’ll do it. I asked just to see how much lenses were going to cost because I had two of my own frames that I bought from Asia (Asian frames fit Asian faces) and he originally quoted $ 65 for the plastic lenses. I told him nevermind and that I was going to go to Costco since they charge $ 60 and he happily offered to match their price and also let me know that Costco often charges $ 20 extra per frame for bringing in your own. Awesome.
Talked to the owner when I walked in and he was helpful and informative and didn’t mind me asking questions. He said it should be done in two-​three days so I’ll write another review at that time, but for now… Thank you Eye Glasses Galore!

Too bad Unilocal doesn’t give you an option for 0 stars. I don’t like to bad mouth small businesses bc I want to support them but I wouldn’t be a Good Samaritan if I didn’t share my horrific experiences.
I don’t have time to go into details of my ordeal. I basically want to say this place is a big scam. The owner lies through his teeth. My daughter had to wait over 2months to get her glasses… over priced lens. I paid $ 265 just for the lens. Weeks after weeks, I kept getting pushed off and waited. After many attempts contacting them including dropping by the store, I had no solid answer of when I’m going to get the glasses. (I saw documents fm small claims ct on the table when I was there. I guess I’m not the only one he has issues with.)
Over 2 months later, I called n called n finally the glasses are back. I told him how disappointed I was with the service n he apologized and blamed the lab. Then he offered me $ 50 off with any frame I purchase in his store! Wtf? Are you kidding me? Why would I want to spend more $ at your store?
Her nose piece broke after a few weeks. I called and again, getting pushed to speak with the owner who is never available.
I took it back yesterday thinking I need to face them despite of how much frustration I will have to go through again. They claim they are the only place that is contracted with T1 lab so I am stuck. I called T1 but they are closed… as in no longer in business. I came back and asked for a For a copy of the lab order. The order form was not T1. I called «the lab» n They wouldn’t speak to me n told Me to call the retailer.
He says it will cost $ 50 for the bridge n it will take 1 week. No thanks! I Don’t want to deal with them ever again!

Really a hit and miss store. the younger girl working there now is very nice and helpful, but the owner seems very distracted and must be overworked because he has had two pairs of new glasses that I ordered for over a month, and keeps saying he will get them for me. Last year I took a pair of glasses in to get new stems and he said he would send them to the factory. Three weeks later I walked in, and there they are sitting in the same box, never went out, and I never got a call. I have had some good experiences there too, so I had to give them two stars, and I really like supporting local businesses, but they need to step up the service a BIG notch.

Good eyeglasses and repairs at a fair price. I had 4 new glasses made for specific frames, including one Polaroid and two with high index of refraction lenses. They did a great job and were very responsive to my needs.

Opening hours in their website are not the opening hours in practice. Sunday was closed… annoying!

I bought the my favorite pair of glasses here 3 years ago and they went above and beyond to make sure I was happy. So naturally when they broke, I knew where I was headed.
So I stopped in today to get lenses from my favorite pair of glasses (which broke) put into a new frame (same model). The owner took a look at them and instead of forcing me to buy new lenses, he put the old lenses in for free.
I went in expecting to have to buy new glasses and left with the ability to see and it only cost me a $ 20 tip. The owner was incredibly nice and helpful and my glasses were fixed in about ten minutes. Hard to beat their prices or how fast they are. They do a lot of things in house, so the service is super quick.
Gotta appreciate the friendly service you only seem to find at local shops like this.
I’ll be back for sure. =) Thanks Eye Glasses Galore!

The only reason I gave this one star is because I had to. THE WORST CUSTOMER SERVICE I’VE EVER DEALT WITH. I bought a pair of sunglasses ($ 70) and they broke in two days. When I took them the blonde working said it would take a week. A MONTH AND A HALF LATER I FINALLY went in to get my money back. Everytime I called, they said they’d «call me back» and never did. I could have ordered a new pair online faster. I got a voicemail from the owner saying they had a new pair for me ready and when I went in the same blonde had no idea what I was talking about and offered to send them out again. I will NEVER go back to this place and am spreading the WORST word of mouth possible.

I’ve never bought glasses here, but have had several pair of sunglasses repaired at this store. Both the owner and a very nice lady have helped me the times I’ve visited (both were very polite and treated me like an important customer). The quality of the work was excellent and the repairs were done properly. I even prepaid for a repair on sunglasses that were beyond repair (and not worth the price) after being evaluated. The owner was honest and nice enough to return my money in full. I would definitely go back to this merchant for future eye glass needs.

I heard about this place and decided to go down there to talk to them about getting prescription lenses for a pair of Electric sunglasses that I own. I’ve never had RX sunglasses before. They said it wouldn’t be a problem. I called Walmart and they faxed over my prescription release form within a couple of minutes. I paid a fair price for the new non-​polarized lenses and left my sunglasses with them (this all took about ten minutes). Three days later I went and picked up my old shades with the new RX lenses. They are perfect and have the exact dark gray tint that I asked for. It’s a whole new world! Thanks

Very Unhelpfull. I spent a lot of money here and they did not want to help by extending my script so I could get contacts. They made a mistake and did not have me in the system and it cost me and extra visit and $ 129+ I would NOT recommend these people at all ! Stay AWAY !

I’m only giving this place 1 star cuz Unilocal won’t allow a big fat ZERO! I purchased 3 prescription glasses, one being a pair of sunglasses. The tint on the sungalsses were soooo cheaply tinted it looked red! I was very unhappy but seeing it was summer time, I decided to tolerate it for a few months. I went back to have them re-​tinted, and the manager said it faded over time and it wasn’t his fault. Not only did he take NO fault in his mistake he kept my glasses for over 2 weeks after saying the re-​tint would only take a few days! After all this, my sunglasses went from a red to a sky clear blue!!! If you want expensive prescription glasses and cheaply made sunglasses, shop here! Never again will I go back nor will I recommend anyone to shop at this business again!

Well, I had ordered glasses from Costco but they said 10 day wait and I didn’t want to wait so long. The cost of glasses with lenses and anti reflective coating was $ 133 total from there. Went to Lenscrafters, and they had a special on lenses, ½ off, which is a great deal if you want progressive or photochromatic lenses. But the overall cost for similar glasses was $ 229 with the discount, and this is for standard plastic, no anti reflective coating.
Luckily I found Eye Glasses Galore, and went in there. The gentleman was helpful and soon found a frame I liked that fit me, and my nose bridge is very wide, so there aren’t too many frames that fit me. The cost was about the same for the frames and lenses as the frames alone from Lenscrafters.
I need the anti reflective coating and he matched the Costco price of $ 30, and also upgraded me to polycarbonate lenses from standard plastic. All this for $ 199 plus tax, and they will be ready tomorrow afternoon.
I am really glad to come in here it is a more positive experience than lenscrafters or costco, I feel like I will get better glases and have them fit better, and they have a year guarantee with them.
I recommend this store, they are friendly and knowledgeable, competitive, and fast. And your money will stay here in town and help our local economy.
