Local source of eyeglasses

[hikermtnbiker.livejournal.com]

I finally have to admit to myself that cheaters no longer work and I need proper reading glasses. What recommendations do you all have for a local eyeglass store?

As a first time eyeglass wearer I'm mostly interested in a shop that will take the time to help me select the right kind of lenses for my usage and get the prescription fine tuned. I'm less concerned about a wide selection of frame styles. I'm no fashion plate.

Has anyone tried the place on Elm across from Posto?

I've had good luck and good service from Eye Q in Harvard Sq.

I second Eye Q. The glasses I bought there five years ago are only just now starting to show wear (and only in ways that are visible to me). The service was excellent, the price was fair, and they helped me to pick out a nice pair of frames that have withstood the test of time.

Remember that you don't need to get your glasses from the same place where you get your eyes examined! You are free to take the prescription anywhere you want.
