Finally an answer to my quest for the perfect eye-ware for playing pocket billiards. I have been playing pool since I was very young and it wasnt until I reached my 50s when my vision had degraded to the point of needing glasses. My normal glasses have been giving me a fit for the last decade due to the fact that when I am down low in a shooting position, the rim of my glasses would always obstruct my aim. Consequently, I would normally just remove my glasses when playing and deal with the fuzzy focus on the object ball. I have tried single vision contact lenses, but due to my astigmatism they would rarely settle on my eyes correctly. After an extensive search, I found William J Curran and Son Opticians. They offer a super light, high arched lens designed specifically for billiard players. I ordered the glasses on-line and Bill Curran called me the same day to ask me questions and fine tune my prescription so that my glasses would fit correctly. I just received my glasses today, and after a short trial run on my home table, I am more than impressed and satisfied. The lenses are exactly what they advertise and my table vision is crystal clear on every shot. I will certainly spread the word to all my pool addicted friends. My thanks to Bill and the crew at William J Curran & Son.

I have 4 year old quadruplets, and 3 of them needed glasses. We started out at some of the big name chain stores and felt so frustrated because we couldnt find anything we liked and the customer service was poor. Everything covered their little faces. When we walked into Curran Opticians, we were immediately greeted and helped through the entire process. The first pair they put on my daughter (gorgeous rimless pair) was immediately right. All my anxieties about them wearing glasses melted away. I could see their faces and they all seemed so comfortable in them. Bill Curran was careful to measure everything and take into account the tiniest details like face shape and eyelash length to be certain they had the proper size and shape lens. He made sure the color of the temples and bridge matched their complexion/hair color/eye color. We got three sets of rimless glasses and couldnt be more pleased (see photos in his photo section). They are so proud of them and weve had no issues with wearing compliance. Curran Opticians took a stressful situation and turned it into something fun for our children. I will recommend them to anyone!

I moved to the area from Virginia and had been wearing glasses and contacts for over ten years. A friend recommended I go out here to Drexel Hill when I needed new glasses, and the experience was a dramatic improvement over opticians I had visited in Virginia. Curran and Son had a very nice selection of eyewear and carried nothing but quality brands and products. What really made the difference was the personal attention and service though. I met Bill and he selected a few frames that he thought may suit me. He convinced me to try a more stylish frame than the ones I had been wearing, and thanks to that change I went from cringing when I had to wear my glasses to choosing to wear them instead of my contacts once or twice a week. He really paid attention to how the glasses sat on my ears and nose, what point in the lens I was looking through, and the overall fit and feel. This is a great store. I would never go anywhere else at this point.

I am an amateur Poolplayer and I love the game. Recently because Im 62, I have had issue with seeing clearly across the table . I had my regular glasses and would be looking over the top of them across table . It was a blur. I thought the only way to deal with this issue was to compensate for my bad eye site. What did I do ? I would try to take stripes all the time. Why ? I could see the angles better where to hit the object ball. On a solid it was virtually impossible for me. I was getting frustrated with my game and not liking it very much. I saw a billiard glasses video by Bill Curran and Sons Optical and I was impressed. I called right away and talked to Bill who was very very helpful and knew what I was going through. Well I got my glasses and I knew right away I made the right choice. Thank you for bringing back to me the game I love.

We have been customers for 5 years and would never go anywhere else. The rimless glasses were a a true blessing for our 3 year old daughter, Anna. We had bought a pair of glasses a week earlier somewhere else and Anna was not comfortable at all. They were big and bulky and too heavy for her little face. We were referred by a friend to Currans and were immediately introduced to the rimless glasses. She has not taken them off since. The customer service is above and beyond. Example: Anna sat on and broke her glasses the evening before her first day of kindergarten. In a panic, we called Bill at Currans about a minute before closing time. He answered and without hesitation, told us to come in. It took us about 30 minutes to get there and another 30 minutes to fix them. He never made us feel like we were bothering him. He was happy to do it. ABOVE and BEYOND!

I cant say enough how thankful I am to have found William Curran & Son. Looking at the options for toddler glasses literally made me cry. After talking with Mike at William Curran & Son, I felt so much better and really felt good about the value of this purchase (custom, rimless eyewear for my 19 month old). Then for the ordering process, I dealt directly with Bill and he was very helpful every step of the way. They completed the glasses much faster than they estimated and got them to me within a week. I am SO thankful that I can still see my sweet baby when I look at my son, instead of seeing glasses. Thank you, thank you, thank you!! Highly recommended.

I recently bought a pair of pool glasses. I have worn glasses since age 16, am an anesthesiologist working in an eye clinic, so I know a bit about vision. The workmanship and lenses in these glasses are first class. I was a bit hesitant about buying them from 3000mi away, but the fit is good, and the optical centers are correct. They are so light and good, that you wont even know you have them on when you are playing. They were packaged well for shipping, and cleaning solution and lens wipes were included. Follow up was first class. I wish I had bought a pair sooner. Not enough stars. JB

My husband and I cannot say enough good things about William Curran Opticians. We ordered glasses online for our toddler from out of state and within 7 days we received them. They were perfect! All of the paperwork was completed in 1 day, Bill and the rest of his staff were so helpful and kind as this was the first pair of glasses for anyone in our family and overall customer service was just amazing. Our daughters glasses are beautiful and she still looks like herself while wearing them. This has been a wonderful experience and Id highly recommend them.
