An independent optical, run by the people who make your glasses.
Tager Optical has been at Biltmore Plaza for more than four decades. It has outlasted trends, chains and the internet for one reason: every pair is made for the person wearing it.
01
Vince Fontana
Frames, fitting and measurements
Vince has spent decades in the optical industry helping people find frames that suit their faces, personalities and lifestyles. He is the one taking the measurements that make complex prescriptions and progressives work, and usually the one making you laugh while he does it.
02
Tara Fontana
Lab, lens technology and finishing
Tara runs the optical lab. Lens technology, precision edging and finishing, and the quality checks every pair goes through before it reaches you. Her work is why glasses come back fast, and why they look the way they do.
The shop
No appointment required. The humor is free.
Come as you are. Bring the glasses that never felt right, the prescription you are not sure about, or just the question you have been meaning to ask. We will take the time. Occasionally there is a dog.
"We don't just sell glasses. We give transparent, knowledgeable advice, and we never oversell."
