20/20 Opticians

Next door to Rudavsky optician, this is a wonderful place to purchase glasses. They are so efficient and helpful, genuinely caring. They patiently explain all options. This time I ordered graded glasses for the first time (old eyes). They work well with insurance saving a lot of time. Very courteous and prompt.
They have a large selection of frames and styles. I am always happy with my selection, but also enjoy the opportunity to periodically switch it up periodically.
They call the minute the glasses arrive. They are also very helpful in the fitting and adjustments. Lose a screw? Stop by and they replace for free. Staffed with locals, so you run in to them at Giant Eagle, e.g. giving you that small town feel in the city. You couldn’t convince me to change opticians!

Not a fancy shop but definitely worth going. I just got my contact lenses and it was great! $ 75 including thorough checkup along with solution and a pair of contact lenses. Dr. Rudavsky advised me to come back for a checkup again before I get used to them. Definitely recommended.

I don’t think I have ever written a review on Unilocal before. My experience with ²⁰⁄₂₀ opticians was so wonderful, I had to write this. I went in for an eye appointment on Thursday at noon. I was given the most thorough evaluation I have ever had. Dr. Rudavsky found out that I needed prisms in my glasses because my eyes are not level — something no other doctor has ever noted in the 30+ years I have been wearing glasses.
Then on to the new glasses themselves— I have a strong prescription, bifocals, featherweight and now prisms. Every other pair of glasses I have gotten has taken at least 2 week. Not at ²⁰⁄₂₀. I got a call saying they were ready THE NEXT DAY — less than 24 hours after I had my exam.

I came into the shop on a Friday, they had multiple frames right off the bat that were sturdy, stylish, and affordable. (I’d been looking for new frames for months and as a big guy it’s hard to find a pair that’s just right). The selection here is clearly curated by someone with a classic sense of fashion. Other shops were really hit or miss, I had 4 pairs to choose from at ²⁰⁄₂₀
The optician was low key and extremely helpful, called for my rxn at my ophthalmologist (he offered to do a new prescription on site as well).
I got my new glasses the next Wednesday. Three business days for new glasses plus a really quality customer service experience: I’m never going anywhere else!

²⁰⁄₂₀ is the best place for frames and service in the city. I found them on Unilocal after having medicore experiences at so many places, and I’m thrilled that ²⁰⁄₂₀ came exactly as advertised from the other reviewers here. Great selection, service, price, honestly, don’t waste your time going to other opticians. Barry is very low key, very kind, it was just a great experience from start to finish.

I also agree with the first review. I found ²⁰⁄₂₀ through Dr Rudavsky, who I also found here on Unilocal,and who I also thought was wonderful and thorough and thoroughly professional. And, of course, he is a real doctor, not a sales person like the dork who examined my eyes at the fancy Pittsburgh place.
As for the glasses — couldn’t be happier. Saving up to get a few more pair filled. Barry and Evan are indeed the best. I am a bit of a collector of odd/​vintage frames, so I didn’t have the same concern as P.D. For me, the prices for lenses alone at ²⁰⁄₂₀ were so good that I had two other pairs of frames fitted with different prescriptions.
And when one of them didn’t work out for me – through no fault of theirs, let me hasten to add — they replaced the lenses and wouldn’t let me pay.
Please read that last sentence again. Happy happy.

Barry and Evan are the best! Don’t waste your time at that pompous Pittsburgh eye wear chain. These guys will make your glasses cheaper and faster, and the service here is unbeatable. I send everyone here, and no one has ever been disappointed. Sure, their shop doesn’t look fancy, but they have great quality frames and lenses, and they carry many of the same brands and designers that you’ll find in the up-​scale shops.
+ I left my glasses in a hotel room, and they had another pair ready for me the NEXT day.
+ My husband called to cancel my eye doctor appointment because I had a migraine. The next time I saw Evan he asked me all about it, showing genuine concern. He remembered.
+ I walked in there after over a year, and Barry recognized me right away. He even remembered some random details about me including some glasses that I was interested in.
They take most major insurance carriers.
They’re affiliated with the ophthalmologist next door so if you need an eye exam, you can schedule with him. (He’s great!) See listing for Zarky Rudavsky, O.D.
