What our
customers say
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.
Extremely professional, courteous and relaxed vibe in store location. Funky frames and excellent quality lenses. Merci Beaucoup 😎
Got an eye exam done today and it was a fantastic and enjoyable experience from beginning to end, everyone involved was lovely!
Very pleasant and efficient service! Love the selection and look forward to getting my three new pairs of glasses!
Prescription Sunglasses ready in 30 minutes! And inexpensive. Great service
I recommend 100% Dresden for your new glasses. The optometrists are excellent and the service impeccable. A fun place to get some advise without any pressure.
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.
This is my second experience ordering Dresden glasses that I ordered from their website, and it was a fantastic experience. I asked my optometrist office for my prescription, but they gave me the wrong prescription. I realized this when I received my Dresden glasses. I contacted my Optometrist office, and they had the optometrist send me the correct prescription. Dresden was able to remake them glasses and sent them to me quickly at no extra cost. I love these glasses, and you now have a customer for life!!! Wish I could give you 10 stars!!!
First of all, I have been wearing Dresden glasses for over 4 years, they are well made and fun to wear. I went to the Little Italy store yesterday to check out the new shape, the staffs were so friendly and helpful, very patiently helped me to pick out a pair. Thanks very much, really appreciate it.
