If you’ve ever dreamed of ditching your glasses without sacrificing your ability to actually *see*, do yourself a favor and visit Plainville Optical. This was my first visit, and honestly, they had me at the phone call. Scheduling my appointment was such a pleasant experience—professional, warm, and genuinely friendly—it set the tone for everything that followed. I went in to explore multifocal contact lenses, and the entire process felt easy and supported from start to finish. The team walked me through trial lenses without any pressure, just thoughtful guidance and encouragement. And let me tell you… the moment I realized I could see clearly *without* glasses sitting on my nose? Pure joy. What really stood out was the people. Every interaction felt kind, upbeat, and authentic. It’s not often you can describe a medical appointment as “joyful,” but that’s exactly what this was. If you’re even *thinking* about contacts—especially multifocals—this is absolutely the place to go. You’ll be in great hands, and you might just leave seeing the world a whole new way (and your face a little lighter, too).

I had a great experience this morning with Dr. Dively and the rest of the staff! Just a super pleasant atmosphere. My eye exam was more thorough than others I have received in the past, and I was able to get my contacts with ease.
Outstanding local business that truly cares for their customers. Extremely helpful and easy to deal with. Great selection of frames and excellent customer service. Highly recommended.
I personally wanted to write a review because Plainville Optical staff and Doctor were absolutely the best. Professional kind and extremely helpful. Answered all questions and I ordered 3 pairs of glasses and all were received so quickly. Please visit them if you need yours eyes checked and new glasses. Very reasonable priced. And facility is clean!
I just had to leave a review considering I am just so happy with my glasses. I went to another eye place beginning of the year and they messed my prescription up so bad I couldn’t see. The Plainville optical was recommended to me. The individuals there were kind and courteous and so willing to help to make it a great experience. I actually picked up my glasses today and I could see driving all the way home! Thank you to all of you. I will definitely be back to get my sunglasses.! ❤️
