Reviews of Spectacles F.Y. Eye (Optics Shop)

Jerome Strauss

I bought a pair of eyeglasses from Spectacles a month ago and I couldn't be happier with my purchase. The store carries some of the usual brands, but also a variety of other brands you won't find in other stores, with really cool and interesting styles. The optician, Joseph, is very friendly, and he was excellent at suggesting different styles. He helped me find a pair of glasses that was just right for me. I've gotten over a dozen of spontaneous compliments from strangers since I started wearing my new glasses! I highly recommend you check out Spectacles if you live in State College or are traveling through. Add to list Edit

Best place to get glasses in SC, hands down!

Dr. Haloua was phenomenal. I can tell how considerate she was to ensure that I get the best prescription for my lenses to the point that she did the whole procedure twice and even made trial glasses for me to try on - absolutely thoughtful! She also took into consideration all the issues I mentioned, because she tried to fit my needs by correcting these problems I was having. She is super patient and kind hearted, and I felt extremely comfortable with her; I loved her. When I came to choose glasses, Jodi was equally amazing. She took notes on the styles I like, but she also made sure that I look great in the frames, so I definitely appreciate how honest she was rather than sugar-coating her feedback. Choosing glasses with her was also super fun, and she surprised me a lot because she picked out styles that I never would have considered trying on, but to my surprise I LOVED. I am so happy with my experience, and I am looking forward to seeing how my new and different glasses are gonna turn out! And an FYI, I am SUPER picky! LOL. She deserves a golden medal bwhahaha. One concern I do have is the small collection of offerings. The frames I chose were beautiful, but super expensive, but there weren’t one similar to it at a more affordable price range. Perhaps, if they consider adding more variety and pricing points, it could help a lot since I am sure most of the visitors they have are college students. Doing so will definitely encourage a lot more people to come, because I was definitely warned by the pricings. Other than that, overall? Exceptional.

This store is GREAT! The owners are always there, ensuring the best customer service and that everything is to your satisfaction. I've bought about 10 pairs of glasses from there over the years, and they will do what they can to give the best price. As per other comments, you cannot compare this store to Wal-Mart, this is not a chain, this is a local family owned and operated business, who unlike Wal-Mart care for you like a family would. Even if some items are pricier than Wal-Marts, the service and quality are well worth it!

The office manager Charlotte and her other female employee at the front were extremely unprofessional. Unsure as to why there are so many positive reviews. Don’t go here!! The staff and office manager is deceitful and they lie about prices and add ons (uv/scratch resistant). They overcharge and refuse to give refunds for overcharges that you never agreed to. They mislead consumers and are just trying to make money off of you. Then when being dissatisfied for being overcharged, they blame the customer (the office manager pointed her finger in my face) and call you disrespectful for being misled about prices and charges. F.Y. Eye does not care about the customer. Worst and most unprofessional eye doctor/eyeware company in state college.

Even going here since ~2005. Great and caring service. I really dislike making glasses selections, and they do a great job helping pick a new pair each time.

They are very nice here, service is great, but they are way too expensive. With my insurance included for glasses (the cheapest pair I could find) as well as a year's worth of contact they wanted to charge me about $600. I went back to the Lehigh Valley where I have my traditional eye doctor and got a year's worth of contacts, had my examination, and got a nice pair of glasses with everything I wanted in them for a total of $200. Very nice place, very nice service, but you can get the same service somewhere else for 3x less or even more, than here. Wouldn't recommend it unless you like blowing money.

Rarely do you find a place where both the optometrist and optician are both stellar -- but Spectacles does it right. Dr. Haloua is very accurate and detail-oriented. Not all eye doctors are created equal, and you'll appreciate the ease and professionalism of the exam. Once you have your prescription, Joseph will help you pick out a fantastic set of frames from the large array or fashionable options they stock. The variety allows for any budget -- anything from basic specs to the latest hand-picked looks from New York and Paris. Then, Joseph will clearly describe how different lenses function based on your needs, and which will fit best within your chosen frame, so you can make a solid decision. After many years as a client at Spectacles, I can confidently say I wouldn't trust anyone else with my face!

The staff at Spectacles are top notch, welcoming, and extremely helpful. I came in very uncertain about what I wanted, and they helped me land on glasses that I'm extremely happy with. They also kept me up to date with the progress and ETA of my glasses. I was also extremely grateful when they recommended that I not purchase what I came in for initially, because with my insurance plan they pointed out that I would've wasted a lot of it. All in all, fantastic place that I feel comfortable putting my trust in.

Lane Snedden

Love their thoroughness, skill and product. Staff is great also.

Christopher Burke

Great service by great people. Very educated about products. Always willing to adjust and clean my glasses. 2/8 update. I went back because I thought something did not seem right. Julie and their staff spent the time to figure out what was not quite right and made the necessary adjustments. Now I am good to go! Yay!

Every time I go there, the staff is courteous and professional. They have always made sure that I was satisfied and taken the time to address my needs. As a customer support professional, I can appreciate quality work.
