About The Optical Shop at Newtonville

For more than 20 years, The Optical Shop served the Brookline community from our location at The Brook House, where we built lasting relationships with generations of clients. Families have trusted us for years — parents who once came in for their own glasses now bring their children for expert care and a familiar, friendly touch.

Now, that tradition continues in our new home in Newtonville. Though we’ve moved, our commitment to personalized care remains exactly the same — focused on people, not sales.

Our Newtonville showroom features a wide selection of designer eyewear along with affordable, stylish options for every budget. Whether you’re updating your prescription, choosing your first pair of glasses, or helping your kids find frames they’ll actually love to wear, you’ll find the same honesty, care, and expertise that have defined us for decades.

The Optical Shop is more than a business — it’s a family legacy spanning three generations. It all began over 40 years ago, when Paul Shlosman opened his first optical shop in Boston with a simple goal: to help people see better while treating every customer like family.

His son, Felix Shlosman, R.D.O., carried that same passion forward, expanding the practice and building lasting relationships with patients throughout Brookline and beyond. Today, the tradition continues with Dr. Denis Shlosman, O.D., who brings advanced clinical expertise and modern technology to the practice — while preserving the same personal, community-focused approach that has defined The Optical Shop for decades.

Together, the Shlosman family continues to blend experience, innovation, and genuine care — ensuring every patient receives the attention and quality they deserve.
