Today was my first visit and I couldn’t be happier. Staff is very friendly and Dr. Greene is the best in the business. With world class equipment this is the best place to visit if you don’t want to lose sight of your vision ;)

If you would like to be treated like a mall visitor, by all means go to a national chain. You'll see just about average afterwards. If you would like to get personal service from the long-time owners of a local business. go see the brothers Greene in Watertown Square. You'll pay the same and see much better.

I have been going to Greene & Greene for a decade or more and my eyes haven't improved at all!  What the heck?  Oh right, they just do glasses. What I can say is that I can see exactly what I need to, and for me that's not just a typical situation.  I have "over 40 eyes" so can't see things that are close.

Pretty typical, except I am a software engineer so stare at screens all days.  I get especially aggravated when "the kids" use a 3-point font with light-gray foreground and darker-gray background.

So I need killa specs -- that way the kids (who are like, easily in their mid forties or even younger!) don't know I am 60.

I got lenses that are perfect for where I sit, and they have adjustments for glare, reflection (so I don't look like a serial killer on Zoom calls), anti-scratch and prisms or something like that for my odd prescription. These are in frames that even I have not figured out how to break yet, and that are as stylish as a 60-year-old software engineer can pull off (and no jokes about BluBlockers, please!!)

And then I need really close glasses for iPhone and the like. I got some supah-cool wire frames that I can put in a soft case in my pocket (oh yeah, no hanging from my neck baloney for me). These frames are so bendy I can do all sorts of horrifying things and they still work great. Because I have these specs in my pocket nearly all the time, I can see in great detail almost all the time.

If I had gone to Lens Crufters or Eye-o-matic, or one of those other mall places I never would have gotten these frames, that last forever (10 years on the bendy ones, and 3 on my second pair of the others, first ones I lost). Also I would probably have just accepted the first prescription. With Dr. Greene he asked me how they were and I said "not sure yet" and he instantly told me we should get the prescription right.  And he figured out how I could avoid paying too much for amazing frames. And yeah, amazing frames are amazing because (if you don't lose them) they last forever.

And that's why I am writing a review like this and not just "awesome glasses" or something. It's really great to have experienced, skilled doctors, but it's even better when they are the ones who know that many of us would jump at the chance to have actual humans, who treat us like actual humans. Crazy, right?
