Felix put new lenses into my titanium frame and repaired the frame. Excellent service, Felix genuinely cares about doing the right thing for his customers.

After going to several eyeglass shops, my mom had given up on trying to find a place to convert her runway Gucci sunglasses to prescriptions. They were all too concerned about liability and my mom was willing to accept risk for such a customized job. The owner accepted the challenge and my mom has been so happy since. She’s since done several sunglasses here. Best prices around. True honest straightforward shop. No frills. He also maxed out my bison insurance benefits. Great guy

Lost my glasses at an airport hotel and myopically found my way to Felix. I got to his hole-in-the-wall shop just as it opened and Felix shuffled out like a grumpy bear, but he was patient and kind. There are only a few cases but plenty of sensible handsome frames. Within an hour and at a reasonable price I had new glasses that fit comfortably right away. Thank you Felix!
