About

Unlike typical glasses shops, Modern Eye is a doctor-owned optical boutique with locations in University City and Center City. You get state-of-the-art eye exams from optometrists Dr. Chris Anastasiou or Dr. Bryan Machamer, plus a curated collection of over 40 global frames brands like Alain Mikli, Mykita, and Oliver Peoples. The Washington Square West store sits at 13th and Walnut, making it an easy stop while exploring the neighborhood.

Prices start at $69 for glasses, and the staff won't pressure you. Regulars appreciate the relaxed vibe and the fact that you're supporting a local, independent practice. If you're early for your appointment, grab a bite from nearby Reading Terminal Market before heading over.
