Such an impressive selection of funky eyeglasses that you won't find in a box store. Anthony, the owner, is patient, knowledgeable, and competent. Although I didn't find my perfect glasses (I'm more of a vintage blingy style myself, I drove 45 minutes to him to fill my lenses because of how much I trusted him. He uses an excellent lab which makes high quality lenses. The fit of my glasses was done with care, making sure they fit perfectly and were comfortable. I’ll definitely be coming back!
Anthony was very professional and knowledgeable! He answered all my questions I had. I ordered my glasses on Wednesday and had them to me on Saturday!! Talk about quick service! I would highly recommend Anthony and The Novel Eye! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
🤓 Great selection of eyeglasses, not the same old, same old. Some funky and alternative, some sedate. Anthony's attention to the customer and willingness to please is what makes this experience really special though. Perfect location, in the heart of old Wickford gives the experience a delightful twist.
