1205 N Dearborn Street, Chicago. Boyce, Lesley, and the Gold Coast team.
"Boyce was able to replace both temples on my broken pair. He truly went above and beyond."
"Boyce was very helpful narrowing down my favorites — talked through how each frame would fit in my work setting. The store itself is beautiful."
"Came to Glimpse for an exam with Dr. Roitstein. She was thorough, explained everything clearly, and was very patient. Boyce was very helpful narrowing down my favorites."
"Glimpse Vision in the Gold Coast is the place we chose for vision services when we moved to Chicago. We have been very pleased with our exams, the selection of eyewear, and the friendly, helpful staff."
"I worked with Lesley and Boyce at their former employer. When they decided to strike out on their own, I followed."
"Lesley took the time to find a frame that worked for my face shape. Honest opinions, never a sales pitch. The Gold Coast store is gorgeous."
"Carrie is an exceptional eye doctor who truly goes above and beyond. Her holistic approach — nutrition, products, and clinical care — makes every visit informative."
"Boyce is a frame repair magician. Brought in a 15-year-old pair I thought were beyond saving — he had them back to me the next week."
"Tennis-ball green aviators — everyone asks about them. Four years on and the color hasn't worn off. Customer service you don't get at a chain."
12 East First Street, Hinsdale. Dory and the Hinsdale team.
"Walking into the Hinsdale store is very soothing and welcoming. Dr. Carrie and Dory do a fantastic job of servicing and making you feel at home."

"As one who is incredibly hard on my glasses I recently found myself in a predicament — Dory in Hinsdale got me into a loaner pair the same afternoon."
"Dory and the Hinsdale team make every visit feel personal. They know me, my family, and they always have suggestions ready when I walk in."
"Honestly the most pleasant eye-exam experience I've ever had. Carrie's integrative approach is unique — came out of Hinsdale with a real plan, not just a prescription."
"First exam with Dr. Janette in Hinsdale and I'll be back. She actually listened, explained the imaging, and didn't rush me. Dory handled the dispensing perfectly."
