My first time here. Friendly service. Accurate. Affordable, no nonsense pricing. Can’t beat it. I wear multi focal progressive lenses that are quite thick. They did a great job. Thank you.

I saw Dr.Jason Woo and had a great experience. The ladies working in the front were kind and very helpful and had already processed my insurance by the time my appointment ended. There was zero sales pressure from the staff or doctor also. Dr.Jason was amazing - he is super thorough, he doesn’t make you feel rushed and clearly really cares about his patients. Before we did any vision testing he talked to me about my health and any vision concerns. After we finished testing he took the time to explain everything in detail and in a way that is accessible for folks who aren’t experts in vision :) I would recommend Dresden and Dr. Jason to anyone looking for an optometrist.

I’ve had my glasses and prescription sunglasses for 4 years, and they look incredible still! After ordering some for my husband and son, I did contact Dresden through the chat to order replacement lenses. My prescription had changed, and they helped me with the new lenses. Easy to update too! Highly recommend!!

I've had my new glasses from Dresden for over a week now and I couldn't be happier. I was able to get two pairs—a clear and a shaded, both progressive—for a fraction of the price of my previous single pair. Not only do they fit well and look great, but I also feel younger wearing them. The experience at the Little Italy store was wonderful. Makayla was a very friendly, patient, and respectful professional who expertly helped me choose the perfect frame size and recommended a great color. I'm already looking forward to getting my next pair from Dresden.

My first time there and it certainly won't be my last. Loved the place - great, funk selection and staff was terrific. Can't remember the girl who helped me but she was very good. Love my new glasses and have told several friends about Dresden Vision and they will be visiting the store as well.
