Our team of friendly and professional vision care specialists are here to assist you with anything from basic eye exams to specialized care. We can help you find a new pair of glasses, examine the eyes of your entire family, and give treatments for any ocular impairments you might be facing.
We take great pride in being one of the few remaining private optometric practices serving DC residents, and the secret to our long-standing success is our unparalleled customer service experience.
Our optometrists use a variety of complicated and exacting processes to determine your exact eyewear prescription. This prescription is then given to our frames and lenses expert, who uses it to select the best possible lenses, coatings, and frame materials to ensure maximum comfort and visual acuity.
Next, our expert will take some measurements. This ensures that the optical center of each lens, bifocal placement, and edge thickness are precisely as they should be. Once this process is complete, our expert will diligently test your new eyewear to ensure that it is exactly as you ordered it and guarantee that it meets or exceeds all American National Standard Institute guidelines.
As part of our promise to you, we guarantee that you will receive exactly what we prescribed, so you never need to worry about whether your prescription is correct.
Our commitment to quality does not end when you pick up your glasses and walk out the door. Should your glasses require any adjustments or repairs, we will happily provide these services for you, for life, at no charge.
You depend on your glasses to maintain your quality of life. If you are not happy with the fit, comfort, style, or color of your glasses, we will be happy to change them for you. If you are dissatisfied with your glasses, for any reason, within the first 30 days after picking up your glasses, please bring them back to our office, and we will change whatever is necessary to meet your expectations.
