SEE

Went in a month ago to look at glasses… they were supposed to check my insurance and get back to me the following Monday. Never called back, was very disappointed

An update to my update!
So, Amber doesn’t work here any more. And the people who do work here are being educated on how to help customers with normal questions! Thank goodness.
Greg, the manager here, is so thoughtful and wonderful! He picked out a ton of cute and funky frames for me to try while I was getting my eye exam. There was a bit of a miscue with insurance and the exam, but we’re only human and it all turned out fine. One of the frames he selected were for sunglasses I would probably never wear. Except, I put them on and I instantly felt that I needed to buy them. Even better, they’re having a promo, 40% off your second pair. So thanks Greg, for the most amazing glass and sunglass selections!
Cody is also amazing and was so patient with me when I couldn’t decide which glasses to pick because they both picked out such great options.
Thanks See, for being as wonderful as I knew you could be.

SEE eyewear is the place to go for a fashion foreword selection of frames and lenses. They have fabulous mirrored tints too. Double rainbows for the friendly people that work there! The doctor on the premises is great too and super smart. I highly recommend you go there immediately.

Great place! My mom and I found this place while walking around downtown Seattle. Both of us had actually forgotten our sunglasses back in LA. I’ve never been to See but was really intrigued to learn they have 37 locations! The lady working there was super helpful. She answered every single question and told us about the company. Every single pair of sunglasses in the store is one of 100 made. They only make 100 of each design which I thought is really cool. The design of the store is really cool. It’s clean and beautifully laid out. They also have an optometrist which goes hand-​in-​hand with prescription glasses. I really like my glasses my sunglasses and I’m excited to wear them. My only complaint is that I wish they had the SEE logo on the outside of the frames.

My experience with Greg at See was outstanding from start to finish. I saw a frame I loved a few months ago but didn’t know their stock rotates quickly so when I came back Greg took the time to find them, calling several stores til he found the perfect color. He took his time to educate me on the benefits of choosing the right lens for my sunglasses as well. We found a fantastic combo! Thanks Greg and your crew and I’ll be back!

Dr. Lim was awesome and very helpful. However, the staff out front were some of the rudest people I’ve ever met and the trial pairs took almost a month to get to the store after they said it would be there in 2 business days. I talked to one girl named Emma or Emily who always claimed she would call me back ASAP… I waited 2 days no call back. She didn’t apologize, just said she was «busy.» I had to call them about 5 times to get in to see them. This place was the only place nearby that took my insurance so i dealt with the BS.
DO NOT GO TO THEM IF YOU ACTUALLY WANT TO LEAVE THE STORE FEELING LIKE YOU MATTERED.

Really adorable glasses, & with the GROUPON a phenomenal price. The staff were friendly, patient (as I tried on waaaaay too many pairs), and helpful, giving me honest opinions that in no way seemed biased towards the more expensive price ranges.
I gave them a 4 vs a 5 star simply because they are downtown, with several trips required to purchase, pick up/​resize so it would have been nice if they validated parking (or were open past 8, when it’s free downtown). They do not (& I’m on a tight budget). It’s no reflection on the store itself…

Extremely friendly staff, they were good at juggling the different people who came in and answering phones as well. They worked with my price range and weren’t pushy about anything. Compared to the other experiences I’ve seen, I can’t recommend anywhere else but here.

Went in to just look on my lunch break — saw a Groupon coupon and wanted to check it out before buying the Groupon. Was I blown away with cute and funky styles in lots of colors and combinations!
Greg was super helpful in choices for me and also explained the lense options so I knew what I should get as I ordered. Expected to get a pair of prescription sunglasses this year and wait on the eyeglasses — but with the discounts and super cute styles — I walked out with both.
I will be back — very satisfied!

SEE has super cute/​cool glasses, I found it affordable, and most importantly the staff was very kind, funny and helpful! I got an amazing deal on two pairs of glasses and felt really taken care of.

LOVE this place! I came here for my eye exam and wanted glasses, I am aphakic in one eye and it is extremely difficult to get glasses when you have two very different levels of vision in each eye but I really needed to have glasses as opposed to contacts. Other eyeglass places had even turned me down before I came here. Everyone at See was very helpful and the staff worked so hard to get me exactly what I needed. I have to say that Greg was the most helpful, awesome, hardworking person and was relentless in garnering my satisfaction. Two weeks ago I walked out with the best pair of glasses in the world! I am so glad that I can finally see well enough to begin driving again! I haven’t been able to drive in over 5 years! Yesterday I got a thank you note from them but all of the thanks should go to them! If I could give this place a million stars I would, I cannot say enough wonderful things about See and the team, but Greg should certainly get a gold star for all that he had to put up with out of me. So glad I can finally see!

The staff at SEE is AWESOME! Greg greeted me shortly after I entered the store and was quick to help me select glasses that work well for my face. He was genuinely helpful & patient while I tried on several pairs of glasses. He walked me through all the options available for the three sets I ended up purchasing & did a great job helping me pick which worked best for me. Thanks again, Greg!
The optometrist was also great. She put me at ease by making small talk about Seattle while we went through the vision exam, and even helped decide what color transition lenses worked best with the frames I was purchasing. I wish I could remember her name. A+ experience!

I’ve been to SEE in Seattle for an eye exam twice now. Both times, Dr. Lim was great. She provided a very comprehensive check up and really listened to my concerns and gave me tips on my extremely dry eyes. The prescription she gave was great! and I plan on seeing her for my next checkup.
The lackluster 3 star rating, however, is due to the front house’s inability to handle logistics when it comes to insurance claims. Both times, I’ve been charged different amounts. This past time, after learning that my co-​worker paid a different amount than I did even though we’re under the same group policy, I called in to verify the amount. Both staffs I spoke to did not know how much the exam should cost, but ultimately resolved that I was overcharged. A nice gentleman followed up to refund me the difference which I really appreciate, however, it would be nice if SEE knows how much they should be charging for an exam before doing so.
As for the glasses selection, I can’t really speak to it. I’ve spent an hour browsing the shop and what they offer isn’t my style. But, I do believe that their glasses might be of style to some. So good luck hunting! (I take weeks to find the perfect pair, it is afterall, a very important purchase.)

I brought a pair a glasses from here in August that I’m totally in love with. As soon as I walked in, as staff member was there to help me pick out frames within my price range. The sales clerk gave honest suggestions about frames that fit my face and skin tone. I even decided on one of her picks!
The nice touch was that I purchases my glasses a few weeks before moving away from Seattle. The staffer that I worked with was nice enough to expedite my lens order without any hassle.

Thank you for the experience! It was so fun and simple. No pressure sales people when looking for sunglasses to protect my blue eyes!
Entertained the little one while I tried some frames on and even helped me pick them out so I didn’t have to look at 100 pairs!
Love it!

I went into the SEE Eyewear store because of the reviews and the price listing here on Unilocal. I had my own prescription, so I didn’t need an eye exam. This was my very first pair of glasses, so I was completely inexperienced at shopping for glasses and styles. The salesperson was very nice, but she never gave me her name, and to be honest, I was so overwhelmed by the idea of shopping for a pair of glasses, I never asked. I did notice her introduce herself to another customer while I was browsing, but I was still distracted and didn’t hear her name.
She had me walk through the various display cases and try on some different frames, but there weren’t too many that appealed to me. I settled on a style that looked best from all that I had tried on, but I wasn’t sure if they were my absolute favorite or not. After comparing them with other styles in the store, they won. But that still doesn’t mean I wouldn’t find a more suitable style elsewhere.
I meant to ask the salesperson her name when I left, but I forgot. Funny, she never offered me her business card, either. Oh well. Just a minor party foul, I guess.
After paying for them, I was told they would be ready in 7 to 10 business days. That was on a Monday. I was hoping to have them in time for my birthday a week from that following Friday. The Thursday before, I called wondering if they were in and I was told that there was a problem and that the frames turned out to be defective. They were waiting on a replacement. They said they would be in the following week and they would call me when they arrived.
Here it is, another full week later, and they’re finally in. I understand that QC issues happen everywhere, but I’m wishing that for the price I paid, these would have been ready earlier — or that someone would have called to explain the delay. Or maybe I’m just a bit too impatient.
I guess being inexperienced is my excuse, so I’ll be more prepared next time.

I loved my experience at See Eyewear. The optometrist was super nice and she really took the time to make sure I had the perfect prescription. I was most impressed by the sales clerk who helped me find the best pair of glasses for me. She made great suggestions based on my face shape and the style that I liked. Most importantly, she made sure I got a frame that would work well with my prescription since it’s quite high and my lenses are thick. I love my new glasses and I get so many compliments on them!

I had a great experience here! I had bought a groupon, which businesses can sometimes be a bit snooty about, but the staff was wonderful! I did not at all feel pressured by them. They saw the frames I was looking at initially and went around picking me out similar frames or ones they felt would compliment me. They gathered them up in a tray for me to explore at my leisure. I was being obnoxious and texting pics to my mom for her opinion on like 10 frames (yeah, at 25 I still need her input) and they were totally chill about it.
The ones I picked were ultimately ones that they had suggested to me, not that I had picked myself – they have good taste. I cannot stress enough how unstressful this experience was. SO FRIENDLY, SO KNOWLEDGEABLE, SO OUT OF MY FACE. My frames are fab and fit so perfect. I don’t have my reciept with me so I can’t quite remember her name Aubriella? She was adorable with short dark hair and really hip glasses. Nico was awesome too. I will definitely use them in the future.

Two years ago I purchased a pair of glasses from SEE in Chicago. Two weeks ago the glasses broke (totally my fault) and I called SEE in Seattle, my new home town. They offered to send them out to the lab to be fixed for free (including shipping) if I just dropped them off. However, when I dropped in shortly before closing this past Thursday, the super helpful woman cheerfully fixed them herself while I waited.
Amazing glasses. Amazing service.

Received a new pair of glasses in December, the hinging that is connected into the lenses has already worn loose after only a month. For a $ 500 pair of glass with all the bells and whistle I will find out just how good their repair policy is.
I was pleasantly surprised the folks at Eyewear in the Seattle office took care me and then some. It turned out it is a simple fix and they had the right equipment there which is key. The manager told me the connector to the glasses do on occasion fail I just got the luck of the draw, but they made it right.
