Optical Sphere Modern & Vintage Eyeglasses and Sunglasses

After recommending this place to so many others, I returned this week to replaces lenses. Alex was as professional, efficient and funny as ever. Just concerned about keeping prices down with the new economic situation, Fellow costco shopper insisted I find this place just for the "character of a Russian owner" who turns out to be an eyeglass genius entrepreneur. One price for phenomenal frame selection & my prescription - with clip on sunglasses. No charge to tighten or replace screw. A pleasure..

Came across this stylish shop on my walk on W 3rd St. Alex has thousands of beautiful frames across all price ranges. He was super helpful, and made my glasses SUPER quick. Thank you so much Alex! Will definitely be telling my friends about this gem.

The very best .I have been a customer for years and Alex is an expert in his craft and have an unique and original frame's selections

Shopping here was one of the most pleasant experiences that I've had in a long time. Not only was the inventory of vintage glasses absolutely amazing, but what made the experience most enjoyable was meeting the owner Alex. His great sense of humor and contagious enthusiasm for what he does made us want to stay and watch him "do his thing" all day. He must have at least 50,000 eyeglasses to choose from yet he could go straight to a tray in the organized chaos and pluck out the perfect pair of glasses. We wound up purchasing 3 pairs (my husband purchased 2 and I bought 1). The lenses needed to be changed out and to our surprise, Alex had them ready within a few hours. This is a shopping experience that I would recommend to anyone looking for unique vintage glasses - I promise, you won't regret the visit! In the future, this will always be our "go to" eyeglass store and we hope that Alex continues to have a very successful business for many years to come.

Good selection of vintage and new frames. Styles I haven't seen elsewhere. Lenses made on the spot in 5 min. Alex provided expert service. I will be back next time I need a new pair.

I met Alex yesterday after a high recommendation from a dear friend of mine and I totally fell in love! I have never met anyone more in love with what he does, and knowing each period of time where his frames comes from, lovingly, we must have tried on 50 pairs and if I did not have to go he would have gone on for another 3 hours just to make sure I tried the ones that would be good for me. I loved one pair of glasses that I absolutely had to have, but it was super delicate, and when he saw how I treat my own glasses, he said, I love this frame, and I love them on you but no, I can't sell it to you, it will break in a day. Every time he gave me one to try, he would call it by a descriptive name and I could tell how much he knew each and everyone of them. I left with two: a very beautiful thin silver one which reminded me of the 1930's and Paris, and another he called "crazy" but just fabulous. His prices are extremely reasonable and he is such a joy, one must visit his place, you will not regret it!!

Great service. Alex the owner is wonderful, helpful and quick. Huge collection of vintage and newer designed frames. From wild to mild. My experience was fantastic .I bought 70yr old beautiful and perfectly conditioned cat eye glasses. I highly recommend checking it out.

I took a flight from Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada to Los Angeles to have Alex try and find a pair of frames that would fit my old Vuarnet mountaineering sunglass lens. Not only did he locate a great frame that would fit my old lens within a short time; the bonus was that his frame also had cable arms. I am eternally grateful to Alex for the assistance he provided me in securing a proper frame.
