pictureA couple of years ago, I walked into the shop thinking the same as everyone else...that I break or lose my sunglasses all the time and would never spend more than $30.  After about 20 minutes of searching and education from the staff (particularly on how bad cheap lenses are for my eyes!), I tried on a pair that instantly relaxed my eyes when I looked up into the San Diego sky (I normally strain due to light sensitivity so I felt a profound difference in the tension instantly).  The polarized lenses practically gave me HD vision and were a blast to show off to other people.  I think I've had about 30 people try them on and you get the same effect as when someone sees HD television for the same time!  

So, that's half the good news.  The best news is that I walked in today to ask about a small wearing point on one of my lenses.  Without question, I was handed a brand new pair and reminded that my shades had a lifetime guarantee!  Bottom line, you get what you pay for and Eyes on Fifth has exceeded my expectation with a solid backup to their products.  Worth every penny.  

Eyes on Fifth is like the REI of the lens world and I highly recommend to everyone!  Also, take care of your eyes!!! They're worth more than 20 bucks!

What They Say

picture I have known the guys at Eyes on Fifth for years. The selection of eye wear is unmatched and every employee is very knowledgeable. These guys aren't trying to hustle you. They simply want the customer to be satisfied, I could name a few businesses that could take notes. But that's another review for another day. If you are looking for something special and a little different this is the place."
