I met Paulette in 2006 and bought a pair of 2.1 frames (same style I am still wearing, they are that classic rimless with cobalt temples) and lenses from her for a much better price than I had paid in New Orleans before Katrina. We moved back to New Orleans in 2008 & when my local optomstris got bought out by MyEyeDoc (shudder) and no longer carried the 2.1 frames, I called Paulette back up in 2020--she still had my records and ordered me lenses to fit in my 2.1 frames from 2015 (third or fourth time for those frames with new lenses)--and wow, that was so great I had her deal with two sets of 2

Classic Eyewear saved my vacation. I mangled my very expensive frames, and popped out a progressive lens. I thought for sure it was hopeless. I called contacted Classic at 8:30 AM on a Saturday, and got a10:30AM appointment.
What a wonderful store. I was met by a superb professional. Meticulous, super knowledgeable and
Highly skilled. She fixed the unfixable. The frame selection is gorgeous, unique and sophisticated. This place is a gem.

Paulette is amazing! I felt completely safe due to her procedures in place regarding COVID-19 and she knows her stuff! She had pre-selected some frames based on my e-mail to her and I found a pair I loved right away. She was responsive via email and a delightful person when I had my appointment. I highly recommend Classic Eyeware for new frames. And she's a local business!

Paulette at Classic Eyewear saved me when I stepped on my prescription sunglasses! She was so helpful with providing potential solutions to repair them and was able to accommodate me with my schedule. I picked up my sunglasses yesterday and am so thankful!!!!

I called this business in need of repair for some glasses I purchased online from a company that doesn’t even sell a repair kit that is compatible with their glasses. Purchasing locally is a good idea with glasses. Classic Eyewear said they could work on them right away. They were pleasant and professional. I’ll definitely be getting my next pair of glasses from them.

Great selections. Knowledgeable, friendly, exceptional service. A personal sense of style and artistry is reflected in her product. Never hurried or rushed or eager to just make a sale. In short, she knows what she's doing and this was the easiest and most fun time I've ever had selecting eyeglasses.

Paulette has been helping me and my family for about 30 years. Paulette and her husband are two of the nicest individuals. Paulette has great style, and has many wonderful high quality frames to choose from and is always expanding her collection. She has a passion and love for what she does, and you can tell she enjoys helping people every day. It doesn't hurt that she is beyond knowledgeable on all things glasses. When I was young I had to be fitted for glasses. I was extremely tactile sensitive and used to destroy my glasses on a regular basis. Paulette was always so gentle and kind to me, and

Classic Eyewear is top notch! My eye glasses have come from this shop for 20 plus years. The owner is knowledgeable, personable, and takes great care of your eyes, including having a great fashion sense. Would highly recommend, if you want the best glasses around.

Paulette was extremely professional and service-oriented. She treated us like VIPs! With her many years of experience, she was articulate, clear, and offered suggestions that we trusted and appreciated. She takes care in choosing the products she offers, and is extremely customer-first. We would recommend her to anyone who cares about the way they look in glasses and cares about purchasing high-quality eyewear.

Paulette and Classic Eyewear have been fitting me for glasses for over 20 years. Paulette is perfection in her craft and in her customer service. One will always find a wide range of styles - from traditional, timeless classic, contemporary, to edgy. Thank you, Paulette! I wouldn't dream of going elsewhere.

You won't find anyplace with a better balance of:
-Deep knowledge of vision and specialized needs
-Style, something for everyone and not the same frames everyone else has
-Customer service and a down to earth understanding of how glasses fit into your life, your style and your budget

Go there. You won't regret it.
