“Smith's Opticians (Austin St at Wheeler St, a few blocks from the Rice University Ion District on South Main) is the best place in #houston #hou to take your optometrist’s prescription for new #eyeglassframes. Picked up these new specs on Friday, October 24, 2025. Established in 1968, Smith’s carries an incredible selection of unique new and vintage frames you CAN’T FIND ANYWHERE ELSE at UNBEATABLE PRICES! I’ve been a customer for many years. Owner Phil, Carlos, and Rachel will take good care of you! Tell them José sent you! 😉 By the way, I recommend the optometrists at Riz Eye Care at the Walmart on I-10 East (North Shore)! They have great availability for appointments and affordable prescriptions.”

— Alex Collins“I stopped in here to try on 2 frames I liked on the website. First of all they have a large variety of frames in both price and style. There’s something for everybody! I tried on soo many frames I liked. But let me tell you, I took the frames to the gentleman to check out. He said the frame I chose came in a glossy finish as well. Cool these are cute. He said if I like those then I might like another pair, and my stars, they were IT! They’re a beautiful emerald colored frames, that I love already. I’m getting the prescription filled at my optician’s office. I tried the glasses on so many times, just eager to wear them! When I tried the glasses on, very pleased with option he brought out, there was customer nearby who said every pair of frames she has he’s picked them out! This is their thing! They’ll be my go to from now on for all things glasses! I’ll find out the name of the gentleman who helped me”
