OUR
COMMITMENT
TO YOUR VISION

Uptown Optyx is a family owned optical operated by a Mother Daughter optician duo. Located at what was originally the south Upchurch Optical location, we're continuing to bring old school opticianry and outstanding service to the triangle.

"I couldn’t find frames that I liked at the glasses place near my office so I came here and was much more impressed with the selection of cool and unique frames and brands that they have. This is a family run local shop and the staff are very knowledgeable and passionate about what they do. Overall, the staff was just great, and very patient while I took a long time and a couple different visits to finally pick out some frames that I love. Meghan was the one who mostly took care of me and she was awesome at helping me find frames that best fit my face and offering her honest feedback about what looked good—my face is not the easiest to find a good fit for. She was also really generous with sharing her knowledge for my education and benefit, which I really appreciated. I really felt like my best interest was the goal at every step of the process at this place. "
