Outstanding Service

by suem

Recently moved to Austin and needed new glasses. Mickey looked at my old ones and promised he could make a pair that would be more comfortable and not feel like they needed constant adjusting. He did and after wearing the new ones for a month I could not be happier!

I recommend South Austin Optical to everyone.

• Pros: Professional, Individualized Service
• Cons: None

Mickey is extremely helpful explaining the

different types of lens. He has a great eye

for picking frames that look good on you.

He picked a great frame that looks great

on me. I can see better than I have seen

in a long time. Service was great. Wish

I had know about Mickey sooner. will be

going there for now on. Just fantastic.

• Pros: Top Quality frames

Spectacular Service

by mspili

After searching several local optical offices for the perfect frames, I found the style that I wanted, but not the color. I did a search to see who carried that particular line, made some calls to check inventory and price, and then read reviews. Mickey is extremely helpful, explaining the difference in lenses, special ordering the frames and then, if you like, critiquing style and color. Suprise, suprise, purple works. Besides the great service, the prices are the best in town. Listening to Mickey discussing my eyecare needs, I'm confident in his knowledge and his work. Next time I need new glasses, I know the first place I'll go.

• Pros: great service, best prices in town

I've been buying my glasses at South Austin Optical since I moved here in 1980, and I've never been disappointed. I've bought normal glasses, glasses with clip-on shades, sports glasses and prescription sunglasses; now I'm buying progressive lenses (groan!). Mickey carries top-quality frames, he has a fantastic eye for what looks good on me, and he does repairs quickly and cheaply (usually free). I'm so much happier shopping with a local business owner than with a mega-corp glasses outlet. Mickey Keeps Austin Seeing!

My glasses are sooo pretty!

by belleangelique

I dreaded getting a new pair of glasses for years but I need a pair when my last pair of contacts tore. I have one eye that has really bad vision while the other is not so bad. So, when I got glasses they always looked funny because one lens was way thicker than the other. I went to the store picked out a pair, ordered them and when I went to pick them up I was estatic. They came better than what I imagined, the lens looked great and I am very happy with them. Overall, the service is great, they got a good selection of lens and the product is top notch.
