If you live in the South End then I hope you have the opportunity to get your eye exams at SEE. I originally found them online when searching for an new eye doctor after moving to Boston and I like them so much that I sometimes go in just to try on glasses for fun and pet the dog. For a tiny, uncluttered storefront they manage to have a lot of options for frames. Everyone is very friendly and informative. There is help available anytime I need but they also create an environment that makes me feel comfortable spending time on my own to try on as many frames as I want. My annual eye exams always seem thorough and I can tell they review my history because they sometimes ask question about things I've had concerns with in the past. It is a reassuring when your doctors are paying attention to the details. Much appreciated!

I've been going to South End Eye for about 5 years now. Dr. Martin and the whole team at the office are great! Extremely knowledgable and patient - whether for an eye exam or to buy new glasses, I highly recommend them.

Jamie Nemiah

Dr. Laura Martin did my eye exam. She is thorough, professional and very pleasant to deal with. She answered all my questions and explained the changes in my prescription. I highly recommend her.

My eye history is pretty complicated, so I'm always a bit nervous about going to a new optometrist. However, the service I received at my first appointment at South End Eye was far beyond what I expected. I went in to have a regular eye exam and to order glasses that replace my RGPs+glasses that I wear now, so that I have options other than wearing contacts all the time. Marisol ran all of my tests quickly and confidently, despite the fact that my eyes both have nystagmus and shake on their own, which has made it difficult for technicians to get test results in the past. The optometrist, Amanda, was very professional and discussed with me the results of my tests, which was great. I especially enjoyed seeing the composite image of the inside of my eye, which was so detailed that it showed floaters. Some of my doctors in the past have been secretive about what's going on with me and don't share info, even when I ask, and even when it's good news. But that wasn't the case here - I learned a lot by checking out my test results. The staff at the desk was also very professional and considerate, as was the woman who fitted me for my glasses (I'm sorry I can't remember their names...). Best of all, the glasses I ordered are giving me the best vision I've ever had in both of my eyes. I can't wait to pick them up and am really thankful that I found South End Eye. The Google reviews are no joke - they really are that good.

Diane LeWand

Great service with excellent care!

Jillian Dresser

It was a fantastic experience. I went in to get my eyes checked for a license renewal. They were so kind, helpful, and most importantly, great at their jobs. I would recommend South End Eye to all my friends, and I will definitely be going back in the future.

Stacey Snyder

I get my eye exams and glasses from here. The service is exceptional and they really take the time to provide suggestions for eye wear and make sure you are really comfortable with your selection. I can’t recommend them highly enough.

Violetta Faulkner

As always, perfect friendly service, immaculate attention to detail, great eye exam. I am a very happy, returning again and again, customer. Do not hesitate. Incredible selection of wide range of frames.

Jessi Stone

I had a fantastic experience here. I have never had such a thorough eye exam. The dr really took her time to get to the bottom of what was going on and went over each exam and the results indepth

Paul Banks

Unparalleled service. I bought a pair of glasses that had an unusual design I thought would work for me. It didn't. The fit just wasn't right. I returned the glasses for a full refund. I couldn't find frames at the store that fit my needs, so Mary Keenan offered to give me free lenses if I purchased the frames I like online. Now that's good service!

John Gladding

John Dolan

The nicest people who just want to help you see properly. They, most importantly, stand behind the product and will help in any way if issues arise. Can't recommend them highly enough.

Jaybeeboston

I like this place. I got a really nice pair of close up glasses to use while welding, and improved my contact prescription. Dr. Martin takes the time to figure out the best solution.

Tom Parks

Very good experience, reception was prompt and attentive, exam was professional with explanations of procedures and my particular issues.

andrew leask

Very responsive, quick service, great people.

Paul Foley

Qi-Yu Liang

Such an amazing place! Wish I could put down ten stars! Fixed two pairs of my prescription glasses made from another place. One has problems with the frame. The other has problems with the lenses. I have been suffering through them for years and the other place never solves the problems. I am so impressed that the lady at South End Eye (so sad I forget her name) figured out the problems, explained to me clearly and fixed them.

Vlad Zeleznik

My girlfriend and I stopped here on our first day visiting Boston due to her losing a contact lens and not having a replacement. Mary and Jay were so helpful, kind and professional. I highly recommend this business!

I am new to needing more than an occasional set of "readers"-- my first stops were a huge opthalmic center - Basically a factory. Then I went to a discount place for glasses (sticker shock as a new prescription eye glass wearer) then I could not figure out how to use my glasses - went to South End Eye. Dr Martin re- jiggered my prescription; I learned progressive lenses have to fit properly And then they guided me through a purchase of very flattering glasses. 12 months later I am ably wearing contacts for sports after careful, patient coaching. What a great place.

Fantastic, as always! Mary & Michelle are the 2 nicest people I've met in any retail setting. They are very knowledgeable and incredibly helpful, but also happy to let you browse interrupted. The selection of designer and high-end frames is impressive; however choices are plentiful. [The decor is fantastic, as is the exam space downstairs; don't be intimidated - it feels like a cozy apartment when you walk in!] Frankly my favorite part of going to SEE is that they find me great glasses and make me feel special wearing them! They do this by listening first and then, as appropriate, start offering up opinions and options. Their no-nonsense, headache-preventing explanations of the insurance systems is a welcome bonus. Despite stocking newer brands and mostly higher end glasses, they both 1) never give up on timeless styles and reliable manufacturers, and 2) don't ever sell any crap -- even the lower priced glasses are great. Their honesty about sourcing, pricing, and alternatives allows you to make this a one-stop [comfortable] shop. Dr. Laura is great! She's very personable, smart, and she listens. Her exams are very chill and completely pain-free. I especially enjoy how she explains what she's doing (if you'd like).

Elizabeth Nagarajah

Dr. Martin and the staff at South End Eye are so helpful and friendly. I had been searching for an eye doctor closer to home and have found my place. Thank you for providing such great service!! Elizabeth N., Roxbury

Jeff Varnum

I first went to South End Eye a few years ago after I felt like I didn't get the care I deserved from Cambridge Eye Doctors. It had been recommended to me with glowing reviews, so I went in with high expectations. At my appointment, Dr. Martin was kind, professional, and took the time to make sure that I was completely satisfied with the care that she provided. I felt like she genuinely cared. The two other ladies, who helped me schedule my appointment and assisted me while I was considering new frames, were delightful. I felt absolutely no pressure to buy anything and was comfortable talking with them as well. Since that day I have had my annual appointments with Dr. Martin and she's been just as caring and attentive each time. My experiences with South End Eye have been very pleasant and I highly recommend that you make your next eye appointment here.

Kevin McCaskill

Great eye experience! The staff is outstanding and great eyewear selections.

Adiya WhiteHammond

Really positive experience. Incredibly professional, knowledgeable and downright pleasant staff.

Steph Cummings

I recently had a scratch on my eye and after seeing my PCP and having them provide no assistance, I saw my people over at South End Eye. Not only is the team incredibly warm and welcoming but they are diligent and amazing at what they do. Within 20 minutes, I had a script for my eye and was on my merry way. Love this place!

Morgan Lee

Dr. Laura Martin is kind, knowledgeable and inviting. I highly recommend her to be your eye doctor, the staff at South End Eye are equally as great!

Felipe Barbosa

Dr. Martin was extremely pleasant and very knowledgeable.

Patrick W. van Deursen

What a great crew. Was stuck without lenses and they immediately were able to help me. Thanks south end eye!

Erin Flynn

Five stars is not enough! I fly into Boston from N.C. every month. A few months a year, I have an appointment to order or pick up glasses or contacts. Recently, on a quick trip to Boston, I was out of contacts and let South End Eye know. Immediate response was swing by for some samples, and we will check on your order. Order was shipped, and found by Owner Mary Keenan. I wouldn't have made it through trip without contacts and updated shipment. Love Mary, Dr. Laura Martin, the staff and my special treatment! Yesterday, They delayed closing and awaited me to arrive from my delayed flight. Exceptional service!

Sonia Lipetz

Dr. Martin is great! She explained all the details of my complicated situation thoroughly and I never felt rushed, though I think I took up more than my allotted exam time.

Jason Twombly

I've been coming here for a few years and I have nothing bad to say!

Asdf Jkl

I was recommended, by spectacle eye wear, I walked in and asked if they could give me an eye exam without an appointment, there was availability and I got my exam vai a walk-in. They were very thorough, helpful, knowledgeable and professional, plus it didn't take very long to get my eyes examined also had my eyes dilated (optional). I would highly recommend South End Eye.

Oby Douglas

Very great experience! The eye doctor was fantastic and she was so patient as well as detailed. Glad I did not go to Lenscrafters.

C Lori

Excellent service and Dr. Laura Martin is very knowledgeable. Highly recommended!

Michelle Chambers

Just got back from a contact fitting there- as all the other reviews say, great service. They had a ton of appointments available during lunch hour, which is very convenient if you work in the area. Had a hiccup with my insurance coverage but they were very accomodating in helping me to figure it out. Dr. Martins takes the time to (actually) listen to you and was very personable. Highly reccommend.

JD Benjmin

I have nothing but positive things to say about the folks at South End. I feel so well taken care of by everyone. Cannot recommend them enough!

Mike Marino

Great doctors and friendly staff. Very fair prices and an excellent location with flexible appointment times. They stand by their glasses. An awesome local business we need more like them.

N S

Incredible. I was in Boston for work and forgot extra contacts at home. I called them and they immediately told me they would help me. I stopped by and quickly had a few days worth of contacts in order to survive my trip. Surprisingly, they didn't charge me anything. I offered to but they declined saying, "this is what we do. We help people and we are happy we were able to be help you." Still astounded at how great the service was.

Lindsey Sowa

Steve L

Professional, very very thorough, and an amazing experience all around. I had explained my last eye care provider wasn't so....thorough (my old provider mis-aligned my progressives, always had to look at things with a head tilt) South End Eye definitely came through with an amazing pair of glasses! I was also very pleased that they were very accommodating in filling a script for glasses I already owned. (although they have an amazing selection there already) I would highly recommend to anyone. Thanks again!!

Awesome service and products! Got my new contact lens here and very happy with them

Christina DePalma

Dr. Martin is a gem! Super friendly, and walked me through the whole eye exam. I loved that they had a machine to see the back of my retina instead of getting my eyes dialated. Definitely will be back!

Molly Macleod

I have been wearing glasses/contacts since I was in 8th grade (20 years ago!) and I have never had such a complete eye exam, and in a very comfortable neighborhood office setting with a clear sense of care and pride in all the staff's work. Everything was thoroughly explained, staff were all so friendly, doctor was awesome and so knowledgeable....I am very happy to have found South End Eye! Plus they take my insurance! Only good things to say about this place.

Been going to SEE for about three years and would HIGHLY recommend it! Mary, Michelle & Dr. Martin (and the rest of the staff) have always taken care of me. I always feel like I'm getting the best care and advice and appreciate how they take the time and effort to go above and beyond. If eye care and style are important to you, this is the place to go. Way better than Warby Parker or some other chain optometrist. A resounding two thumbs up!

I would recommend South End Eye for eye exams, contacts and a great selection of frames. They custom make frames to fit your face! I have had a great experience with learning to use contact lenses. Dr Laura is professional and patient. I did not have an easy time getting used to the contacts, she was very helpful with tips and a few follow up visits. I have also been impressed with the quick turn around in replacing the lenses in some older almost vintage sunglasses.

Diane Lewand

I have been a client of South End Eye for many years now. They offer everything I need from my eye exam to my contacts to my collection of eyeglasses and sunglasses. Just recently the arm of my favorite glasses broke, not just a lost screw, but broken! They were able to get a new arm from the manufacture and I still have my favorite glasses. How's that for fabulous customer service!!!

Daniel Gedney

My first review, but this place deserves it. NPS of 10. Every business (healthcare or otherwise) should be run like South End Eye...quality care from the doctor, incredible staff and customer service, efficient scheduling, transparent pricing, etc.

Lauren Castagno

love it here!

John Bonasera

Charles/Maryellen Zarkadas/Hassell

My wife and I have purchased several pair of glasses at the shop. We always appreciate the advice and professional guidance we receive. All the staff are top notch and helpful. Also, not too long ago that little nose piece fell off one of my older pair of glasses. I took them in (without an appointment) and while I sat and waited my eye glasses were fixed, cleaned and returned to me in perfect condition. Service is always friendly and professional.

Mary-esther Hannan

Wonderful experience from Dr. Martin, colleagues & floor staff. I received an in-depth examination where I appreciated her explanation of my condition and her caring attitude, I never felt rushed she was totally engaging. That service was then followed through with MaryEllen whom with her expertise and patience helped me choose my new glasses! Great experience and will recommend to others

Michelle M

Rhonda Bohn

Very professional and extremely welcoming. One of the best eye exams I have had. If you need an eye exam or glasses - run, don't walk!

Vina Nguyen

Michele Breene

Outstanding service from the minute I walked in. The team made it their first priority to ensure I had the most professional service, the right prescription and the best pair of glasses to suit my needs. The care and concern shown was quite remarkable and not at all what I have been used to at the eye doctors.

Stephanie Krein

This was by far the best experience I have ever had buying a pair of glasses. From the warm welcome when walking into the stylish store, to the quick and on time service for the pre eye exam, Laura the doc, and Michelle taking the time to help me find the perfect pair of glasses for my face and lifestyle, everything went seamlessly. They carry a wide array of frames and definitely have something for everyone and will help you find that perfect pair! And as an added bonus, they cut the lenses right there on site and you walk out with your glasses same day. I’ll never go to another eye store again!! Steph

Michael Dunn

Claudia Colombo

I don't think I've ever had anyone that cared enough to really explain the things that were wrong with my glasses. By far the best I've been to and would highly recommend. Would rate higher if I could.

Dr. Laura Martin and the team at SEE is hands down fantastic. I've had issues with my contacts and she takes the time to figure the right brand for me that works best and is most comfortable. I highly recommend them. Entire staff knowledgeable and really nice people!

Friendly, knowledgeable, trustworthy practice!

Dr. Yip and Marisol were both excellent. I had my first appointment last week and they really took the time to make sure that I was comfortable, had a thorough examination, and got both contact and eyeglass prescriptions. I definitely recommend the practice.
