"I came in 30 minutes before closing for a repair of my glasses and they were AMAZING! Kind, helpful, and really lifesaving as I was basically blind without working lenses. 1000% recommend for any eyewear needs!"

"Went to Shades to purchase a pair of sunglasses. Tracey offered incredible advice as we tried on a number of styles. She brought us out of the store to view light and clouds through different frames. We received tons of attention and ultimately purchased an excellent pair. I would not hesitate to return for another pair of sunglasses or glasses."

"I walked in with a pretty mangled pair of Ray-Ban sunglasses with really nice romance lenses I wasn’t sure if they were salvageable, but Kendall and Debbie were just the nicest people. Friendly and disarming, superior service, and they pulled them back from the dead! The inventory is vast and the space is super cool too. I highly recommend you stop in there..." Read more

"I recently bought new tinted glasses at Shade Pier Optical. It was a life changing purchase. They are so well made and have the look of quality. They are show stoppers and I can see people noticing them. Most of all, I got such personal and thoughtful service. It underscores the joy of shopping at small business vs corporations. Thanks Tracy and team!"

"I had an incredible experience at Shades Pier Optical in Providence today! My eye exam with Dr. Anderson was fast, effective, and super easy. She’s not only highly skilled but also a great conversationalist—so friendly and personable, which made the whole process a breeze. The store manager, Kendall, and her team are truly welcoming and helpful. They go abo..." Read more

She worked so carefully with my frames to make them fit just right, and she was empathetic and understanding when I asked for small adjustment after small adjustment. If you need new glasses of any s..." Read more

"The staff here are truly amazing and the selection here is fantastic. Erica is friendly and knowledgeable and never once did I feel pressured. She did a telephone follow up about a week after I picked up my prescription glasses, which I find to be extremely caring. I will for sure be returning in the future."

"Responsive service. I posted a negative review last week because my partner got an extra bill. The store owner responded very quickly, and solved the problem for my partner. I live far away from my partner, so I was kind of angry right after it happened and wrote a review about what happened to us. However, what happened next made me think twice about my neg..."
