Services
Patients often do not know there is an eye problem! When these diseases are caught early, it helps to prevent vision loss! If you want to ensure a lifetime of optimal eye health and visual acuity for yourself and your family members, there's no better place to start than by scheduling regular eye and vision exams here at Harvard Square Eye Care.
Even those patients who have never worn contact lenses can most often leave with a sample pair of contact lenses at the first appointment. As long as the patient has demonstrated to the Optometrist that the new wearer can comfortably insert and remove the lenses, the doctor will provide a pair to take home.
What sets our practice apart is our ability to get the glasses spot on, especially important with progressives or higher prescriptions. We know great vision starts with the fit of the frame because the lenses need to be inserted in those frames for perfect vision. We have our own lab with an experienced Optician who makes our glasses.
Lightweight, single-vision prescription lenses correct one field of vision, either distance or near. We can fill prescriptions between -20.00 and +6.00 sphere. Transition lenses help you see near and far. Our no-line, progressive lenses correct presbyopia issues. Transition lenses feature reading correction in the bottom half & distance correction at the top.
We've been in the business of optometry for more than 40 years. Our storefront first opened in 1961 under the direction of Dr. Richard Glugeth, recognized in the industry for his innovations with contact lenses, and known for his caring attentiveness to patients. Family-focused and fashion forward are not mutually exclusive when it comes to your eyes at Harvard Square Eye Care.

Really friendly staff and a very convenient location. The only gripe I have is that the staff could use some training on their equipment

Absolutely everyone would works here is amazing: kind, patient, and knowledgeable. I have called so many times to ask questions and talk through the process of getting glasses for my little girl—I never feel rushed and always feel cared for. I worked with Denise recently, and she was wonderful!

I had the best experience here just now.
Denise helped fix all my old glasses. I had an old pair that was broken due to a punch to the face. Another optometrist had given up on them — Denise used a few strategic screws to bring it back to life. She taught me how to think about gasses sizing.
Dr Burke also did me a solid. She measured my through my old glasses and told me point blank that I could indeed wear them without fear of making good my eyesight worse.
Throughout this, everyone (Denise, Bobby, Kathy, Dr Burke) worked around my schedule, were patient and polite, and answered all my questions
