Owners and operators of Chic Optique, Karen Carroll and Julie Slater, have made many of the residents of South Florida feel the same and look their best. Located in the heart of Wilton Manors, Chic Optique is unquestionably one of the hottest spots in Florida for everything eyewear related… It was almost 10 ½ years ago that I stepped into Chic Optique for the first time. I was greeted by Karen, who made me feel so at ease, and a relationship began that I don’t foresee ending. In all Honesty, I wouldn’t know how to pick out my glasses anymore without Karen, Julie, and the team helping me. It really becomes a team effort and they truly care about making me look the best I can!

There is always an independent doctor of Optometry (Dr. Brian Asalone has been helping South Florida see better for over ten years. After graduating from the University of Maryland College Park in 1997, he went on to earn his Doctor of Optometry Degree at Nova Southeastern University here in Fort Lauderdale.) to treat your needs and a helpful staff to address any and all concerns. Most insurance are accepted, so don’t worry about spending all of your hard earned money. Dr Brian Says: “A comprehensive eye exam is more than just a prescription for glasses or contact lenses. It is a complete examination of internal and external eye health, including testing for cataracts, glaucoma, high blood pressure, and diabetes. Many eye diseases and conditions can be detected with a dilated exam. In addition, systemic conditions such as hypertension, diabetes, HOV, Lupus, and cancer can cause changes or damage to the back of the eye. In some cases, these diseases can be detected before the patient is aware of the condition.”

Julie said: “Buying a new pair of glasses should be a fun experience, and that’s what you get a Chic Optique. No pushy salespeople hovering over your shoulder, just a friendly, qualified staff aiming to make your shopping as pleasant as possible.” As a proud member of the “LGBT” community, Chic Optique welcomes everyone with open arms. Karen say: “It’s not about gaining more customers, it’s about creating long lasting relationships.” Do yourself a favor and stop into Chic Optique.
