Ed Bodet, the owner of Mount Carmel Opticians is a top shelf first class human being. Besides the great service and products he offers, his shop is a fun place to be. IT's like a nostalgia museum filled with artifacts and pop culture stuff going all the way back to the late 19th century. Ed himself, is a really nice guy and has a lot of experince in his field. I highly recommend you stop by his shop if you need anything regarding eyeglasses.
I have been getting glasses at the major retail opticians. I went to Mount Carmel and complained that my eyes had deteriorated to the point where I could only get so much improvement. I had a new prescription, but it was almost identical to the old.Edward told me that was not necessarily the case, that higher quality lenses would make a difference. I was skeptical but had nothing to lose.When I tried on the new glasses with a very modest prescription change. I saw better than I had in years. Thank you Edward. You have a customer for life!!
I have been hearing about Ed for years and today dropped in with a pair of glasses to be fixed. After 20 minutes of drilling and storytelling Ed gave me my glasses back and didn't want any money.I paid him anyway and will be back soon with more stuff to do. Thank you Ed
