Services
When selecting your sunglass frame, be sure to consider some very important facts. It is important to not only be stylish and up on the latest trend, but also protect your eyes as well. We have a wide selection of sunglasses and will be happy to help you make the selection best for you.

Combining the right lenses, coatings and tint colors can be technical: Your eye care professional has the knowledge necessary to fit your needs and style preferences.You want a lens that is comfortable in bright light, yet not so dark that your vision is compromised in low light. Everyone is different in their needs.
We pride ourselves in offering the most recent advances in prescription, eyeglass lenses. Our Opticians have extensive knowledge in lens designs, materials, and treatments. We take the time to get to know each customer's prescription and lifestyle needs, so that we can make recommendations to fit each person's individual needs.
Lens glare is a big problem in today's digital and active world. Anti-reflective coating, also known as non-glare coating improves your vision through your lenses and the appearance of your eyeglasses. AR coatings eliminate reflections of light from the front and back surface of eyeglass lenses.

With the elimination of reflections, AR coatings make your eyeglass lenses look almost invisible so people can see your eyes and facial expressions more clearly.All of this makes your eyeglasses more attractive. The visual benefits of these lenses included sharper vision with less glare when driving at night and greater comfort during prolonged computer, tablet and phone use.
We have been serving Houston, Texas and the surrounding areas for 65+ years. Family owned and operated, we are very proud to say. Robert Cassidy started this business in 1949 in the Medical Center of Houston. He later moved the shop to Shepard, where we continued to do business for 29 years. At which time, his daughter, Kathy Cassidy was the owner and had to move the shop to 2900 Westheimer Rd., when the building on Shepard was torn down.

I have a pair of Ray-Ban sunglasses that needed the lens replaced. I decided to stop in at Cassidy Optical on my way to CVS. They were extremely friendly and helpful. They assured me that they can repair the sunglasses. I returned a few days later with my sunglasses and the replacement lens. It was replaced in a matter of seconds and looked better than ever.

I will be returning to Cassidy for all of my optical needs. Great, friendly service at a local business.

Cassidy totall saved me! I'm a boxing coach and wear special flexible glasses made by this swiss company that can take a punch and keep my eyes safe. I broke them and Gary got the part, rushed them to me, and kept the cost affordable. Wasnt a big deal to him, very big deal for me. Thank you Cassidy.

Excellent service and selection. My daughter broke her glasses on July 4th weekend...no worries...patched her right up and refused to accept payment! Will never go anywhere else now and they're so conveniently located!

Kim and Gary are the best! I was surprised to hear this family owned business has been around since 1949 ?! So, they definitely know what they're doing. Very professional, friendly and knowledgeable. The selection is great. I get compliments all the time on my glasses! If you want top notch products, customer service and personal attention... This is the place!

Such a quality business. I stopped in because my sunglasses lost a screw and the lens popped out. Explained what happened and the super nice gentleman took the back, replaced the missing screw, tightened the rest. I asked how much and his reply was "you don't owe me anything".
It's small businesses like this that make me happy. I will forever return to this establishment for any and all of my vision needs.

Superb service by Gary. He has rescued my favorite pair of readers twice.
He was also only shop to attempt a pair of Day / night drivers that 2 other shops refused to put the time and effort despite carrying the line.
Would give 6 stars if allowed.

Loyal customer since 1999. Brought Gary a pair of broken frames and he found them in a catalogue. Always fashionable frames and friendly one on one service. Nice to have the same person helping me all these years :)

Great place. Took some Louis Vuitton sunglasses to get the lenses replaced with darker gradient tint. They did an excellent job. I plan on taking another pair for the same thing

I had a very good experience at this store. The staff is very knowledgable about eyewear, but more importantly their prices are fair and they are reliable. I had a bad experience with Texas State Optical where the employees kept saying they would call me back and then never followed through with me. It took them over 3 weeks to get me a simple pair of single vision prescription lenses. At RJ Cassidy, they helped me get lenses for my second set of frames in just 2 days and they cost less than half of what another optical store quoted me. Furthermore, the staff were nice enough to wait for me when
