    This is a pricey shop to buy glasses, but if you're looking for a unique style, Optical Excellence has a huge variety of trendy eyewear to choose from. The overall store doesn't have an enormous selection compared to big chains, but they filter out a lot of the usual boring and ugly suspects and leave you with a selection of glasses you'd actually consider wearing.

    The service I've received is something you'd expect at an old fashioned local store. When shopping for glasses, I got individual attention with honest feedback, although sometime it's preferable to be left alone to browse.

    Also, when I came to get a quick replacement for my last and lost contact, I wasn't charged. When I came to get my glasses fixed, I was only asked to pay by making a donation to a charity that's something like Optometrists Without Borders.

    However, as I said, the prices are usually high. I'd still recommend checking this place out though because you might find something worth splurging on.
