I found this optometrist through google reviews and chose them because they were a small business, close to my home, able to get me in immediately, had great reviews for customer service and told me there would be no second charge on my follow up visit for contacts. The initial visit Nov 2017 went well but I work in logistics and wasn't able to get off work through Christmas. A few months went by before I contacted the Optical Shoppe again to follow up with my contacts. Although the doctor's schedule had changed and did not align with my work schedule they were able to work with me and get me in for a follow up fitting within the next few weeks. Overall good experience!

Very friendly and helpful. Jackie fixed my glasses - the rimless lenses had started to come loose and we were in Asheville on vacation. She made short work of tightening everything and then wouldn't charge me. If I lived here, The Optical Shoppe would be my opticians. They had a fabulous and huge array of great looking frames on display. What you want in a provider on every level. Highly recommend!
The eye Dr. was kind and patient with me during my eye exam. After my examination I tried on several frames, until I found the perfect pair for me. The owner was friendly and helpful. It didn’t take too long to get my new glasses in and I’m well pleased.
The Optical Shoppe saved our honeymoon!! My new husband and I were visiting the area when he tore a contact (and forgot to bring spares). We must have called every place in the state that sells contacts and no one stocked the kind my husband needed. We began to despair when we found Jackie and she came to our rescue!! She worked with our optometrist back home and had exactly the kind he needed. Our experience with the Optical Shoppe was exceptional from beginning to end!
I wouldn't go anywhere else for glasses- EVER! The customer service and professionalism are outstanding. Thanks to Susan, I had my eye glasses in a week! If you are looking for an intimate experience and an old-fashioned eye exam without all the frills and overhead, this is the place. I will recommend them to everyone I know.
