Joe has frames that you cant find anywhere else. And takes the time and care to make sure the fit and lenses are always perfect. Best of Anywhere!A few from my collection ...

Honestly the best optical experience I’ve ever had: great selection, very knowledgeable and professional staff and a great location!

Go...just go! Its your experience. I may spoil it for you. With that said, Im fully confident you will get more awesomeness than you can imagine.

Best doctor around, Check! Best selection of sun and eyeglasses, Check! Outstanding customer service, Check!

Friendly knowledgeableservice

Best place for a one stop shop for eyeglasses. Unlike most eyeglass stores where you have to fumble through piles of glasses to find the right pair, the staff here always provides great direction and within minutes help narrow down the search to couple great pair. Elaine was especially helpful last time I was in. She was knowledgeable and helpful!

Highly recommend Optik. They have a great selection of frames and an incredibly helpful staff who go out of their way to help. Will definitely shop here again.

Everything was so nice.

Optik extended themselves to me to work me in for an eye exam, phoning me with the offer of an earlier opening in the schedule. They carry beautiful, high end eyewear and provide an in- house lab for same hour lens service after an eye exam. I am literally “over the moon happy” with my improved vision and the terrific service provided by Optik. To the woman who helped me “THANK-YOU”. The precision of the eye exam is awesome too. Thank you Joe Ales.

Friendly & professional service. Wide variety of extremly beautiful Vintage glasses. Excellent eye wear for those who want to express themselves with artistically created glasses. The choices are amazing & always changing. PLEASANT & HAPPY EXPERIENCE! I cant wait to go back and order another pair.

Dr. Ales and his team in this office are fantastic. The eye exam is excellent. Great selection of designer and vintage frames. Turnaround on prescription eye wear is within a week. Ive always scheduled appointments within the week I call. Ive been going here since 2010 and will not go anywhere else!

Nice, fancy eyewear store when looking for something new, stylish and different.. Pretty pricey but enjoyed the selection..

Love love love Dr Joe! He takes the time to explain everything, and answer every question I come up with. I never feel rushed, rare these days. Opticians are the best, too. Friendly and they really know their stuff.

The staff is extremely professional and the doctor is very knowledgeable. He explains everything and is very patient. I recommend them to everyone.

Ive been getting my vintage frames from Dr. Joe for years. Not only do they have a great selection of vintage frames, they also carry really cool sunglasses and Chrome Hearts frames. All of the staff, Kirsten, Amy, Adam are exceptional. Dr. Joe is fun to be around and is also associated with Oakland Ophthalmic and has been to Kenya numerous times on medical missions with some of those doctors.

Great exam. Great selection of frames. Thoughtful customer experience! Definitely recommend!

Dr Joe, Amy and the entire team at Optik Birmingham are worth every star! They provide the best in vision care coupled with the most beautiful and unique choices in eye wear.

Best customer service and unique options. Amy, Dr .Joe , Kirsten.... Best in class. Thanks Optik! We love you!

Always a caring professional service. Truly appreciate the accuracy and precision of Joes eye examination, friendly, helpful staff and interesting eye wear selection.
