i made an appointment to have my eyes examined with Dr. Rosen at Maximeyes Optical. When i first walked into the store, i was greeted by Calvin the optician with a warm smile. I've always been used to going to a Lenscrafters or a Cohen's type of store, but Maximeyes was such a pleasant change. I felt very comfortable just browsing around the store until my exam. The atmosphere and decor of the store is very warm and friendly, not like a doctors office or a typical generic looking eyeglass store.\r
Dr. Rosen gave me a very thorough exam and it was pretty quick as well. I could definitely tell that she knew what she was doing and that really put me at ease. I have a pretty high prescription and have been wearing glasses since the 3rd grade, so I've had my fair share of exams. This one ranks up as one of the best I've experienced.\r
After checking my eyes for contacts and glasses (killing two birds with one stone), we proceeded to look for some frames. I've never been good at picking out glasses, but with the help of Calvin and Dr. Rosen, I actually found a good 5-6 frames that I really liked. Too bad i haven't won the lotto yet, otherwise, i would have taken them all. After narrowing some down, I finally chose a Bevel frame. It's probably the coolest frames I've ever owned. It's super lightweight and has a nice semi funky style to it. Calvin and Dr. Rosen were great at not pressuring me into making a rash decision, but offering me some advice when I needed it. They even suggested that i take my time. I thought it was so great that i didn't feel any pressure during the whole time.\r
Now comes the tough part, my lenses. I'm always scared of the coke bottle look since my prescription is so high. I spoke to Calvin about my concerns and he totally put me at ease about my high prescription. He assured me that i have nothing to worry about and went over all the differ net lens types and thinning lenses there were. He even told me that he's the one that will be making my glasses and that if i have any concerns about anything, to speak directly to him about it. I found that to be such a bonus that he will be personally making my glasses for me and that he knows the face and the name the glasses will be going on. Needless to say, my glasses came out perfect. He did some adjustments on the glasses so that it would fit more custom for my face.\r
I've already gotten a bunch of compliments on my glasses from my coworkers and my friends. I can't stop telling people about Maximeyes Optical. I'm never going anywhere else for my eyes
Pros: comfortable atomosphere, great selection
