The Optical Shop - Now Conveniently Located in Newtonville

Q: Do I need an appointment?

Appointments are required for eye exams, but you’re always welcome to walk in to browse frames, get repairs, or pick up your glasses. We recommend booking ahead for exams - especially on weekends - but walk-ins are welcome for all other services.

Q: Can I bring my own prescription?

Absolutely! We accept valid prescriptions from any licensed provider — whether your doctor is in Newtonville, Brookline.

Q: How long does it take to make glasses?

Typically 5–7 business days. Rush service (48–72 hrs) available for a small fee — perfect for last-minute needs before travel or events.

Q: Do you work with insurance?

We provide detailed receipts for FSA/HSA and out-of-network reimbursement. Call us — we’ll help you navigate your plan, no matter where you’re insured.

Q: Can you fix glasses I bought elsewhere?

Yes! Minor adjustments are often free. Major repairs may have a small fee — still faster and friendlier than big chains.

Stylish eyewear, sunglasses, lens replacement, glasses repairs, and adjustments. Eye exams available on-site. Serving Newton, Brookline, Brighton, and the surrounding area.

Loved by Our Newtonville Neighbors

Extremely nice owner, as others have mentioned! My mother-in-law was visiting and the lens popped out of her glasses. I decided to stop by here to see if someone could help us. We were warmly received and her glasses were good as new within 2 minutes and at no charge. He even tightened my glasses which had become loose. Definitely give this place a try the next time you need an exam or glasses! I know I will :)

I highly recommend this shop. Tried on glasses at a bunch of places, but The Optical Shop at Brook House had the right price and selection of styles. But what really clinched it for me was Felix. He`s got a wonderful personality and made me feel like he cared - talked about style, sizing, lens quality, etc. and gave me a call when everything was ready to pick up. Haven`t regretted the purchase since! Hope this place is around for many years to come.
