Confusing shopping experience – I went to the shop to buy fashionable frames and tinted lens. i coukld not find frames i wanted, one pair that looked ok were to small for my face. A clerk wanted to know if I had my perscription, I felt undecided, I did not want to buy frames because I thought I could make a better selecetion elsewhere.

Best eye glass store EVA – Eye Q in Harvard Square is wonderful. They take the time to fit your face with the perfect glasses. They are honest, fun, helpful and know the styles that are right for your life and look. I will never buy glasses anywhere else. Paul is the best, but everyone that works at the store will only be helpful and get you the glasses you love, they won't let you settle for less. Anna H.

Cool frames, good service, good eye exams – I've been to Eye-Q (Harvard Square branch) several times over the last 6 years. Their frames aren't cheap but they are in nice styles and seem well made. I've been very impressed by the eye exams given by Dr. Luria there. I had problems with my last pair of glasses (progressive lenses) that I think were basically caused by a bad prescription (the prescription was not from Eye-Q) but the staff and Dr. Luria worked hard to get everything fixed up and the glasses are great now.

Great customer service! – I recently bought a pair of glasses from Eye Q in Harvard Square and I their customer service was superb. They go above and beyond what is expected. I found a frame I liked in less than 15 minutes not only because they have a good selection of glasses, but also because the person helping me knew what looked good and what didn?t with my facial features and had a good feel of my personal taste after trying out a few frames. I had only left my address but not my phone number with them, so when it was t... read more

NO OTHER PLACE LIKE IT!!!! – Let me start by saying I hated the way glasses looked on me. So I always wore my contacts but didn't exactly care for them the way I should have. Which caused an ulcer on my eye, my fault. I went to EYE-Q hoping to get new contacts but when the Doctor said I can't wear them until my eye heals I wanted to die when I thought about myself in glasses. So I proceeded to pick out my new glasses and I always thought you match them to what colors and clothing you wear. WOW I was wrong. The people at EYE-... read more

Cheap frames from China Expensive Prices – I was overcharged for a trendy looking but cheap frame made in China . I paid for a high index lense and got a regular one. When I told the salesperson, they insisted it was a 1.67 it was a polycarbonate instead. I had another eyeglass professional check it. They also told me that the frame I paid $225 was a frame that cost the store less than a $1. from china. The salesperson told me it was a custom designed frame especially made for EyeQ. I was ripped off.

Overpriced and Rude – The prices are unbelievably high, and they don't take most insurance plans. And, the staff were rude and condescending and kept trying to upsell me on the type of lenses I purchased.
