I should call this article “Price Point Eyewear saves the day.” Last Saturday morning I was running around getting ready for the Library book sale and I had that dreaded experience that glasses wearers fear. I took a step and felt something foreign under my foot. It was my glasses, lens out, bow bent, and frame broken. I left the house stressed about the inconvenience and cost of getting them replaced, wearing an old pair of glasses that make me dizzy.
While I was at the book sale I saw the open sign lighted at Price Point Eyewear so took a walk over to check it out. I was greeted by friendly optician and owner Paul Vasapoli and pleasantly surprised by the selection of nice looking frames. The best thing was the price; complete glasses start at $99. Since I’m hard on glasses I always carry my prescription with me so I selected my frames and had a promise that I would have them by Monday. Come Monday, I had my new glasses at an affordable price and no inconvenience of making multiple trips out of town. Call me a very satisfied customer! Last time I got new glasses I was lured by a “special” at a chain store, but ended up paying over two times the advertised price because everything was an add on. “You meant you want two lenses?” “You mean you don’t want to hold them on your head with rubber bands?” It was a completely different experience at Price Point, there were lots of frames to choose from in each package price and no hidden costs for a nice pair of single vision glasses.

Paul Vasapoli lives in Eliot and is happy to be a part of South Berwick’s downtown. He did a great job of sprucing up the storefront. The neon signage adds vitality to the downtown block and the interior work that he did makes the store feel bright and new. The lighting is good and the new wood flooring looks beautiful. Price Point is a great addition to the downtown and adds one more important service that is available locally. Stop in and meet Paul and thank him for his investment in the town. And get some great new glasses at the same time.
