I had a cheap pair of sunglasses that needed a screw replaced and happened to stumble on this place by googling. Within minutes my sunglasses had a new screw, he adjusted them so they wouldn’t slide around and even adjusted my regular glasses so they wouldn’t slide. He did all that and we had a lovely convo about the decor all within 15 minutes. I couldn’t recommend this place enough as the service was immaculate and the people there are so kind! 10/10 recommend for adjustments repairs etc.

Reviews
Ed Bodet, the owner of Mount Carmel Opticians is a top shelf first class human being. Besides the great service and products he offers, his shop is a fun place to be. IT's like a nostalgia museum filled with artifacts and pop culture stuff going all the way back to the late 19th century. Ed himself, is a really nice guy and has a lot of experince in his field. I highly recommend you stop by his shop if you need anything regarding eyeglasses.
I have been getting glasses at the major retail opticians. I went to Mount Carmel and complained that my eyes had deteriorated to the point where I could only get so much improvement. I had a new prescription, but it was almost identical to the old.Edward told me that was not necessarily the case, that higher quality lenses would make a difference. I was skeptical but had nothing to lose.When I tried on the new glasses with a very modest prescription change. I saw better than I had in years. Thank you Edward. You have a customer for life!!
