I found their store through Groupon and decided to give them a try based on their very high rating on google. When I went in I guess I expected a larger store since everyone wrote they have lots of selection. I was disappointed to see they only had 5 small wall sections of mid-range frames, 1 section of sale frames and 1-2 sections of cheap frames. The eye exam was quick and efficient. When I started looking at frames the staff did not really offer much assistance. I was disappointed that their selection of mid-range frames were only available at price points of 149, 199, 249 and were not even name brand frames. The name brand frames were in the range of 500$ just for the frames. Once I picked a pair I asked about blue filter lenses she told me they are another $200+. I was here on a budget and I found this place very expensive. The groupon I had included 150 towards sunglasses as well but they had one small section of sunglass frames all at $200 (not including lenses) and thus made this part of the groupon unusable to me. Previously I went to another optical store (using a groupon) and got coach frames with transitions for much less than what I paid here for non-brand frames. Will not return.
🏴 Flag as inappropriateThis was by mistake. I did not intend to write any reviews yet. Might have accidentally clicked when trying to find the directions on google maps.
I will update my review when i complete my purchase.
The employees were so respectful and helped me find the perfect sunglasses. I told them what I was looking for and based upon that they provided me with a choices they had available in their store. They provided an amazing customer service and I would recommend people to definitely go to them. I personally will go back to them! Thank you so much for my amazing sunglasses!
🏴 Flag as inappropriateI've been to many different optical retailers, but for service and quality I feel that Akal Optical is the best. There are no high pressure sales tactics, and the employees don't follow you around as you check out the products. The selection of frames is great, and the prices are good. So far, I have had my glasses for about 3 months without any issues. I would definitely buy here again.
🏴 Flag as inappropriateCould never be happier anywhere else. I was able to get an accurate prescription and glasses at the same place. Ritu, who fitted my glasses was very helpful and went out of her way to help me find a style of frames I liked. They are knowledgeable, competent and treat their customers very well. Thank you.
