Awesome, Awesome, Awesome! Great location in Center City. For those tired of the same ol, this is the place to visit for a fantastic selection of frames. The staff are friendly, patient and totally competent. The combo of awesome progressive lenses that really work, and frames that really fit makes me a very satisfied customer. Highly, highly recommend West Coast Optical!

I went in looking for a new style of optical frames for myself and Nancy was absolutely incredible. She was incredibly sweet and didn’t make me feel bad for trying on a bunch of pairs until we found the right one. She was also honest with what looked good on me and didn’t. I will be back to purchase sunglasses and more frames soon. 10/10! You get what you pay for :)

Wow. West coast optical has come through for me yet again! This is my third time buying from them and they continue to exceed expectations. On this recent trip I was shopping for tinted glasses and new the general style I wanted, they were so helpful helping me select a pair of frames I wanted and then they were able to match the lenses to the exact color I wanted! Thank you so much for making this so easy for me guys!

I received a better experience getting prescription safety glasses from my job TWICE. I Told these people that I could not see properly through the glasses and they had every excuse that I was doing something wrong and I told them that I didn’t have this issue with my work glasses that was my first pair ever. Since then I have gotten 2 more pair from others places for work and home and no issues. What on earth could I have been doing wrong. Don’t get me started on them saying that they took my insurance. They did but it was out of network and the percentage paid was the minimum. There is even more to say but this is more than enough. The glasses that I purchased were progressives and I was more willing to get the top tier. Now they collect dust.

The best people by far to do business with. Mark and his wife went above and beyond to help me find the glasses I wanted with excellent costumer service. They treated me like family and I will most definitely do business with them again.

Second time and Im still a loyal fan. I love their selection and Douglas is fantastic. Mark and his wife are the best as well. Lets face it, no one or place is perfect, however they come as close as you can get. Ill be back for new lenses in my first pair from them in early 2019. I still love them. Why would I go elsewhere? Keep up the good work my optical place of choice.

I was in Philly for a few days, and after researching optical stores nearby, I found West Coast Optical to be the choice of many. Everyone was right! Douglas greeted me and immediately made me feel at home. He helped me get the right fit for my Moscot Lemtosh, and made the entire experience very pleasant. I just received my glasses and they are stellar! West Coast Optical really took care of me, and I will be purchasing my glasses from them from now on. Thanks guys!

I must admit I was nervous about going out of network for my glasses, but I stopped in one day just to try on frames and fell in love! I left that week and dreamed about them. West Coast did not push me to purchase that evening but I think Doug knew I was coming back. A week later, I returned for the frames and finally pulled the trigger. Nancy was excellent and made sure that my tough script needs were met. Often my pockets are burned because of my taste and high script lenses but I felt like I definately got the most out of this purchase. To date, I have gotten so many compliments. So much that - I am ready to find another pair. You can never have enough glasses, right?

I really enjoyed my experience at West Coast Optical last weekend! Nancy and Douglas were so kind, patient, and helpful as I tried on so many pairs of their beautiful selection of frames. I ended up purchasing a gorgeous pair of Oliver People frames with lenses. They were purchased on Sunday and I received them on Wednesday morning. I would suggest this place to anyone looking for a new pair of fabulous frames!

47 years of living in the center of the city of Philadelphia. WC is the real deal. Quality, service & price is just the start. Hands on Owners Nancy & Mark Feldscher are a pleasure to work with in every facet. And Douglas a key member of the WC team picks up the mantle & runs with it like no other. I love shopping small & seeing stores like West Coast thrive.i feel its the foremost eye wear store in the area. Well worth the visit to see & buy their magnificent collection of designer eye wear. They do it all and their turn over to get your eye wear is timely & great.

This is by far the best place Ive found for glasses & related services in Philly. They handle everything, have cool shades and are close to work.. What else can you ask for, especially as an old school Ray-Ban wearer. Pricey but not unreasonable

This place is great. I just got my second pair from them (Douglas helped me) and it was a great experience. They take time and offer their opinions when asked, helping you ensure that your glasses fit your profession/personality/image/etc. I love my new ICBerlin glasses! If you care about how you look and want to support a local business, go here.

Ive been wearing glasses for over 20 years, and this is the best shop Ive ever gotten glasses from! I have high myopia so for years I was stuck wearing coke bottle lenses with a chunky frame- not only are my new frames super cute, my lenses are thin and not heavy on my face. Turn around time is excellent, too. Definitely worth the price!

We’ve shopped at West Coast Optical for years now and this recommendation is well overdue. WCO is our exclusive goto place for eyewear in the City. The staff and customer service are excellent, informative and knowledgeable. It’s very nice and refreshing to deal with a family owned and operated business who really cares about their customers. Great selection of sunglasses and eyewear. Highly recommended!

Tom was extremely helpful in giving me suggestions on picking out frames based on my prescription strength and fitment. He was very patient+informative and wasnt afraid to tell me when certain frames didnt suit me. Prices are very fair compared to other stores Ive been in and their selection is top notch. I will be coming here for all my eyewear needs from now on.

Mark, Nancy and the entire WCO team make shopping for new glasses a breeze. They are so knowledgeable, honest, and have the trendiest inventory. Mark, Nancy and team will not just sell you a pair of glasses to sell, they will make sure you have the right shape, fit, and that all your needs are met and that you are happy, no matter if its your first visit or your 100th. I have and will ONLY buy glasses from this store (and I commute over an hour to do so). I would highly recommend WCO!

Review №50

One of the clerks was really snooty and obnoxious with me. After trying a couple of sunglasses, I asked him if they had smaller models, and he answered me with a ton of sarcasm: Smaller?. Five minutes later I told him if it would be possible to fit my eyeglasses, because they are a bit loose. He said that the price of that was 5 dollars, so I just commented (as an anecdote) that in Spain any eyeglasses shop does that for free to anyone (it takes no more than 2 minutes). He replied me: In that case, go back to Spain and ask there.This last comment seemed to me completely unnecessary, unpleasant and even racist. Who knows, maybe he was trying to make America great again.

This review is from Jessica Bunson, clumsy wife of Robert:So, there I was that dreaded morning, kissing my husband goodbye for the day, when we both heard that DREADED CRUNCH beneath my foot. I just stepped on his glasses on the bedroom floor. I know glasses dont belong on the floor, but thats another story.In a panic, I picked up the bits and pieces of his REALLY STRONG PRESCRIPTION and crumpled frames, then called Nancy at West Coast Optical IN A PANIC!! Keep in mind, this was a Monday and my husbands leaving to work in India on Thursday.Nancy lowered by anxiety by confidently saying his frames were discontinued, but shell immediately find compatible frames and start the replacement process. I was skeptical of the SUPER FAST turn around time for these glasses.Nancy found several great frames, custom fitted them to my husbands face, and he was wearing them WEDNESDAY, a day before deadline! What can I say, Nancy not only sells glasses, she saved my marriage and didnt even charge extra for RUSH service!!
