Focus Optician

I went into this store not knowing what I wanted. They not only have a beautiful selection but the staff is extremely helpful. I came out with a beautiful pair of Celine sunglasses.

Very disappointed. I went in asking for a sporty pair of sunglasses that would be good for trekking. I said I’d previously worn Maui Jim and Revo but had recently lost both pairs. The owner recommended Persol and said they were very good for sports. He said Persol were better than Revo.
Two months later, I went on a trekking trip. The glasses are AWFUL. They keep falling off my face because there is no grip. I will never bring them on another trek and now have to buy another pair of expensive sunglasses.
I went back to the store and two store employees said Persols are fashion glasses and are NOT sporty glasses and that the owner shouldn’t have recommended them to me.
Also, the owner charged me about $ 35 over MSRP — the manufacture’s suggested retail price — which is absolutely unheard of, and I learned after searching the Persol website that they are a very old style.
Since the OWNER of the store completely mislead me AND overcharged me, I thought we could work something out for an exchange. I take very good care of my glasses and they looked like new. But the owner was completely inflexible with the return policy and very unfriendly.
I purchased from Focus to support a local business but was burned big time. Next time I will just got to the Sunglasses Hut.
I would not shop here again. Either the owner is completely ignorant about his products/​brands or is intentionally selling people the wrong (overpriced) stuff so he can make a sale.

I got an US$ 80 groupon for this store as a gift, and unfortunately will not be using it. Went there to see what I could buy, and the place is very expensive. So I found a pair of sunglasses on sale for $ 160, thinking that with the groupon they would cost me $ 80, but the sales clerk refused to accept the groupon, since the item was «already on sale». The groupon did not have the condition printed on it, but the guy justified it as «it’s already cheap». Clearly, the place made some good money with the groupon deal and now refuses to live up to its obligations. I won’t be shopping there ever again, just don’t need the pretentiousness and the dishonesty.

This is one of the places I always visit whenever I am in Georgetown. I recently bought a pair of Gucci sunglasses from here that I constantly get complimented on. I have known the owner for many years and I cannot speak highly enough about him and his staff, they have always help me find exactly what I want.
