Meadows Optical

Brookside Optical is the BEST experience I have ever had in shopping for eyeglasses. Brianna at the Shawnee location is a pleasure to work with. She is very knowledgeable and friendly. She listens and makes helpful recommendations that are fitted to your needs. They have a great selection of frames, and their lenses are made with the highest quality of materials at a reasonable price. Brookside Optical works with you at every level to make sure you are pleased with the final product. I highly recommend Brookside Optical. They will certainly be my "go to" for any future eyeglass needs!

Two of my girlfriends referred me to Brookside optical. Brianna at the Shawnee Mission location was amazing! I told her what I was looking for and she immediately found the perfect frames for me! I purchased them and was on my way home within a half hour! I will definitely be back.

These folks are the Best! Brianna, Joe and Leon are top notch professionals! They are friendly, smart and helpful. They custom made lenses for my scuba mask and I can now see and read small gauges underwater. A true game changer and life saver.

Great selection of moderately priced frames. Joe is very helpful and knowledgeable of best frame shape and fit. I’ve been getting my frames and lenses at Brookside Optical for years. Their lenses are by FAR the best (tried my eye doc’s store and online, big mistake on both parts).

You will see unbelievably low prices advertised on TV for glasses. In my opinion, the short answer is you get what you pay for, but since your eyesight is better with even a bad fit and less than optimal lens material, you may not know how much better it could be if you relied on a professional fit and lens selection from a good optician. My budget certainly isn't unlimited, but enjoying the benefits of optimal eyesight is very important. I've learned from experience that unless you've had a professional optician help you with selecting and fitting a frame, selecting the right lens material and then ensuring the placement of variable focus lens in the frame is perfect, you may be missing out on more than you realize. In my opinion, Joe Bergman is not only one of the nicest and most thoughtful people I've met in a long time, he is also one of the best opticians in the KC area. He recently helped my wife and me select frames that are suitable for facial shape and optimal lens material that would provide the best results for our prescription. He then took time to measure exactly where the lens should be positioned in the frames after they were uniquely fitted to our faces to ensure optimal eyesight at all distances. We are absolutely thrilled with the results!!
