Tread Lightly
I originally wrote a review that was pretty derogatory in nature re: the pricing of Vizio's lens packages. In the end, with a discount, I ultimately love my glasses. Yes they were pricey, but they're quality. My concern with this place wasn't with the product, however, it was with the owner's policy. After writing the first review, I received an email that said, in short, since I was so unhapp...

Great service and great glasses!
This place is really excellent. I originally came for glasses but realized that they also have sunglasses. I especially thought that the service was amazing. They were super friendly, not pushy, very helpful and even though I was unsure about what I needed, they wrote everything down for me and then I came back few weeks later and got the eyeglasses that I liked most. I really recommend this ...

Incredible glasses, but sooooo rude
I bought a pair of glasses for my husband, because the glasses are incredibly beautiful. However I almost canceled by purchase based on how rude they were. I told them I wanted to make a surprise and they looked at me ultra condescending, and ignored me during the entire transaction. On top of that I am 6 months pregnant and wanted to sit next to my husband, they literally laughed at me and as...

Weird Staff
I called to see if Vizio offered progressive contacts. I needed new progressive contacts and progressive glasses. This makes me a high-paying customer folks! The first person I asked said, "That's a really great question!" Then she told me to call back another day. She didn't know. Maybe she was new. Anyway I called back and was told that Dr. Rabkin was not taking new patients for contacts. S...

Best of the eyewear places!
I have been a loyal customer the past two years and return again because of Galina (the best of the best). She is friendly, professional and has a great wealth of knowledge of what is best for you. As an eye doctor, she is a credit to her profession. In customer service, she ranks an A+. I travel over an hour for this service and am pleased with the final product as well.

So thankful to VIZIO!
I'm so thankful to VIZIO OPTIC - worked with both Phyllis and Dr. Rabkin. Before getting a new pair of glasses, they checked my old glasses and noticed that the PD (pupillary distance) on my old glasses was totally off... which makes sense as I was having headaches and eye strain. They spent a great deal of time with me and I found the perfect pair of cute and very comfortable glasses.. and I j...

Excellent selection, excellent service!
I shopped at Vizio Optic since beginning of 2006 and it is not only a great eyeglass store, it is a great shopping experience in all of Boston, period! I really would like to provide feedback on the last two customer comments that I read and was truly surprised to see. These two customers seemed to have a bad experience with one of the people who work at Vizio Optic. I was sad to see that be...

Disappointing
A great selection of frames but one salesperson is extremely rude and rude to her colleagues. This store could be very successful if this person improved on customer service.

Nasty Staff
a sharp selection of frames, but the most unpleasant of staff. small businesses should really think twice about attitude; these folks will not get my money.

Service From Across The Pond
Researching optomotrists in the Boston area from the UK prior to a 2 week holiday, I found Vizio Optic and never looked back. The exchange rate is very good for us in the UK right now and prescription eyewear of the style I was after is expensive over here. I thought I knew what I wanted until I contacted Phyllis by e-mail and the service and attention to detail that I recieved back from her was ...

For a brick and mortar store Vizio is the place to go.
Vizio was able to do an almost impossible repair to my Dolce & Gabanna glasses that I purchased in Forest Hills Queens, NY, many years ago. My uber-fab D&G?s are like new again! Great customer service! Vizio?s eyeglasses retro concepts with contemporary styles and amazing colors that captures the spirit and energy of action sports stars and athletes and for people looking for a sporty, casual ...

Extraordinary frames; unlike any I've seen. Competent and respectful staff. HIGHLY recommended!
I cannot believe the negative review I just read. I don't know what went wrong for that person, but I couldn't disagree more strongly with their comment. I went to Vizio on the recommendation of someone else who loved the store and the people working there, and my experience exceeded my expectations. Don't buy glasses anywhere else.

Condenscending staff!! Too much attitude
I had an extremely negative experience at this store. They may have a nice selection of eyeglasses but the attitude is not worth it. Nothing can replace good customer service.

The real deal
As anyone living in Boston knows, good cutomer service is difficult to find. Couple that with an endless offering of mediocre eyewear retailers and searching for glasses is not a pleasant experience. I stumbled upon Vizio through an internet search and from the moment I walked in knew I'd found the real deal. Excellent service and knowledgeable, honest staff, individualized attention, the best ...

Only a bit above average.
Parking is NOT easy. Aside from having to pay the meter for the time they keep you're in the store, you end up waiting for the either slow staff to help. It really must vary from each day because I had an averg experience the first time I went to look at glasses. However, the 2nd time around I was very rushed by a male staff memeber & didn't end up having my glasses made there. The reviews on her...

I was extremely pleased to discover such a modern and stylish place in the heart of Brookline village. Ths store looks very european and the selection is great! The staff is pleasant and very professional. I found a pair of Chanel sunglasses I was looking for for the longest time and I absolutely love them!

Outstanding service here
I am very surprised to read the last review from a seemingly unhappy customer??? I cannot see how someone could not be satisfied at Vizio Optic given how much effort and time they spent helping me fix a lens that I had done at another optical shop and needed really fast turnaround to get new correct lenses. My experience has been nothing but "above and beyond" and I really recommend this st...

Stay away!
Staff was very demeaning when I told them I didn't like the glasses they picked for me. I'm never going back. Such a bad experience. The doctor wasn't even available even though the sign said she would be there.

Excellent Selection
I just purchased a pair of glasses here. This place is awesome. They have the widest selection of name brands and styles to choose from. The sales clerk was very helpful in assisting me to find the perfect pair that suited me. She was also very patient, since I must have tried on at least a 100 pairs before finally deciding on a pair. Anyone looking for a good pair of lenses and excellent se...

Great costumer service, selection and price!
I used to be a Lenscrafters man, but I recently discovered Vizio Optic. The design of the store is very tasteful and the staff responsive. Dr. Rabkin was very thorough during my appointment and made me feel very comfortable. The employee who helped me search for new frames for my lenses, a charming young lady named Kristine, easily handled all of my questions and concerns by being very straight f...

Perfect In Every Way.
Vizio Optics has taken eyeglass buying to a whole new level. They have an excellent selection of high-end, high fashion eyewear, their pricing is unmatched, their customer service is truly impeccable and the store is bright, modern and inviting. Dr. Rabkin caught a mistake that my ophthalmologist made with a new prescription he'd written for me, and she really went out of her way to help me cor...

Hi, this is my experience at Vizio in summary: - absolutely best experience and excellent selection of eyeglasses - top rate service - great prices I got a pair of Lindberg eyeglasses and my wife got a pair of CHANEL sunglasses and Zenka eyeglasses.

GREAT SHOPPING EXPERIENCE!
I don't remember the last time I was so happy to find a new store in Boston. This is truly one of a kind place and I am a hard to please customer too. Thanks guys, I am forever a loyal customer. Never had 3 people help me so kindly at the same time like this. Felt like a king. Great prices for high quality product and I am the happiest I could be. Super service! JD

Best glasses I ever had
Love you guys at Vizio! And LOVE Citysearcy too for helping me discover Vizio because treasures like this are indeed hard to find. So anyone who is wearing ugly old glasses really ought to see what Vizio (stands for Vision) is all about and it is all about the coolest, best looking and absolutely most comfortable eyeglasses you will ever find. Think that generic glasses at Lenscrafters are g...

Vizio is the best eyeglass store in Boston
I wanted comfortable glasses that don't hurt me behind the ears and don't leave marks on my nose. I also wanted to look and feel good wearing glasses and I simply was not satisfied with choices at many othe eyeglass shops. I came to Vizio on recommendation from a friend and had high expectations. The staff still overdelivered which was very pleasantly surprising. I love my new eyeglasses a...

Guys, this place is amazing. I originally walked by the store and decided to look at their website www.VizioOptic.com to see what they carried and I was very impressed. So I came by the weekend and although I got CHANEL glasses (every real woman has to have both CHANEL eyeglasses and sunglasses...!) , I found many brands that I really loved on me. No question that I will be back for a funky ...

Sincere, Excellent Service
I gave Vizio the highest ratings on CitySearch. Here is why: Everyone talks about the selection and I agree that it is by far the best in this city that I have seen. However, I am so grateful for the assistance and service that I got at Vizio that I must claim that their QUALITY OF SERVICE is what truly makes Vizio different from any other eye glass store in Boston or Brookline area.

Best Eye Glasses Selection in Boston
Hi all, I agree with others who wrote that Vizio is the best eye glasses store in Boston. If you are going to other wanna-be high-class eyewear shops for your glasses and sunglasses then you are really missing out. I highly recommend that you come to Vizio instead. My wife and I sincerely believe that this is the best selection of eye glass frames in the city and my wife found many really coo...

best in boston
I've been searching for cool frames for 2 months and just walked into this store off the street. The selection of frames is really unique. They also finally fit my head (most other frames are too narrow for my head). The service was very friendly and patient. I also found out that the price for the eye exam was very reasonable. The optemetrist herself, Dr. Rabkin, was very detail-oriented and che...

Best Eyeglass Shop in Boston
This store has the best selection of fashion eyeglasses and designer sunglasses. I have seen many stores around Boston and this one is an undisputed 10/10! Also, the service and help in choosing a good fit were tremendous here. It was fortunate to have discovered Vizio through a friend who bought sunglasses there and was also very happy.

I found an exceptional selection of beautiful eyeglasses that I did not see anywhere else.

THE BEST IN BOSTON AND BEST PRICES
I shopped at other eyeglass stores and Vizio is simply better. I can talk about the excellent atmosphere and incredible selection but the quality of service is what really impressed me here. While true high quality eyeglasses typically hit your wallet for several hundred dollars, I found that Vizio's prices for glasses like Lindberg, Silhouette and Maui Jims (with prescription lenses and AR...

THE BEST OPTICAL SHOP IN BOSTON!!!
Yes, you have to see this beautiful eyeglass shop. If it's not the best place for glasses then I don't know what is. I bought 4 pairs of glasses (brown plastic Gucci, hot red Face a Face, multi-colored Zenka and glow-in-the-dark yellow Etnia for my daughter) and and 2 pairs of sunglasses (Porsche for my husband and Beausoleil for myself) and I want more. There is no limit to the styles and...

Classy, stylish and modern classes for men and women!

BEST IN BOSTON!
I thought Vizio is the best eyeglass shop I have ever seen. Anyone can find eyeglasses here that you just have to get for yourself (those JF Rey frames for me). You have to see the unique frames and many are available without prescription if you just want to dress up in glasses or sunglasses for fun and for weekend partying. If you want to look great in glasses then Vizio is your one-stop-shop....
