Our story
Michael Plante and the Plante family have served Worcester and the surrounding communities for more than four decades — right here in Tatnuck Square on Pleasant Street.
We're a small, independent practice. That means you get the owner's personal attention, not a rushed chain-store experience. We take the time to understand your vision needs, your lifestyle, and yes, your personal style too.
You can't buy happiness, but you can buy local — and that's kind of the same thing.
What patients say
"I have been a customer for at least 20 years. Excellent customer service from Michael. I have a very strong prescription and he always finds frames that work beautifully."
"After the glasses came in they made sure they fit just right and adjusted them until they were perfectly comfortable. That kind of care is rare."
"The staff is amazing. Michael took special attention helping me choose new sunglasses. I felt like the only customer in the store."
