Nestled in the heart of downtown Sarasota at 1383 Main Street, Soto’s Optical Boutique is more than just an eyewear shop—it’s a Sarasota tradition.  Established in 1949 and family-owned ever since, Soto’s has become the most awarded optical boutique in the region, celebrated for its craftsmanship, service, and dedication to community.

​

Precision Meets Tradition

What truly sets Soto’s apart is its old-world approach to precision. Every pair of glasses is carefully cut and ground in-house, ensuring lenses meet the highest standard of accuracy and comfort.  This hands-on process is rarely found today, yet it remains the foundation of Soto’s reputation for excellence.

​

Exclusive, Yet Accessible

While the boutique offers an EXCLUSIVE selection of independent eyewear collections, Soto’s Optical prides itself on accessibility.  The team understands that eyewear is both a necessity and an expression of style, which is why they carry options for every budget—without compromising quality or service.  Whether it’s a bold fashion-forward look or a simple everyday pair, Soto’s helps each client find the perfect fit.

​

Personal Care, Generational Trust

The boutique’s personal, one-on-one approach ensures that customers are treated like family.  With an emphasis on trust, expertise, and individualized care, Soto’s has earned the loyalty of generations who return not just for glasses, but for the assurance of being in skilled hands.

​

Honoring Heritage, Embracing Modern Needs

As Sarasota’s most awarded optical store, Soto’s continues to shine by honoring its heritage while embracing modern needs.  More than a store, it’s a place where vision, style, and community come together—making Soto’s Optical a true gem of Main Street.
