After having my glasses adjusted 4 separate times within the same week by other eyeglass stores in South Austin that only seemed to mutilate them and make them worse, I was referred to South Austin Optical by my ophthalmologist, who raved about Mickey Stasey being the very best for eye-wear in Austin, and he was so right!
With only one foot in the building, Mickey could immediately tell that my glasses needed some major adjustments, and didn't even have to ask me what the problem was--just took them off my head and into the back to fix them. It was amazing! Even though I was hyper-sensitive to the adjustment in light of all of the problems my glasses had incurred from before, Mickey remained charming and patient with my every adjustment request. The entire experience was awesome--my glasses were fixed beautifully (I was absolutely astonished at how well he adjusted them, after they had been so poorly treated at other places), and he genuinely cared about my well-being. He was so personable and warm that my anxiety about being too picky about the adjustments or that I was taking too much time didn't seem to bother him at all.
I would definitely recommend him, for anyone with glasses or contacts, as I plan to return to him to have my lenses re-done in my glasses as well as for contacts in the future. Also, my ophthalmologist described how the lenses Mickey uses in glasses give him the best vision he's ever had, so I can't wait to try them soon!
