Eye exams are important. I have a cordial astigmatism in my left eye, I would not have know about without it.

The eye glass seller in longwood boston will measure your pupil distance, and check that your online glasses match the prescription when you get them. He charges a small fee for this.

yeah. I like the glasses I got there but the owner was a little overbearing. Although I like it when they help curate the frames.
