My wife and I have used Arthur Williams for about eight years and have been very satisfied. I needed a new prescription several months ago. I have a somewhat difficult prescription and was having a new problem with my correction. I was interested in trying an aspheric lens design, since I had read that it could provide a better correction in some cases. Debbie suggested that I try Hoya aspheric lenses. They are expensive, but she believes they are among the highest quality lenses available, and probably not offered by the chain optical stores. I got the Hoya lenses, and they are indeed dramatically better than any lenses I have ever had. For example, I had been using two pairs of glasses—one progressive pair for general use and a different progressive pair for computer use. With the Hoya aspheric progressive lenses, I can see both the computer screen and distance well, eliminating the need for computer glasses. This is an example of the knowledgable advice one can get from a good, independent optician.

The staff at Arthur Williams are the best opticians in the Twin Cities. They are very friendly and accommodating. What makes them shine, however, is that they are highly knowledgeable about all things eye glasses. For example, their ability to give useful and well-informed feedback on eyeglass frames shows a deep expertise in this important subject. You can count on them to give style, comfort and technical guidance, as well as an excellent selection of frames. We've been going to them for almost 10 years and they have always amazed us with their service.

I went to Arthur Williams as a new patient after having not been to the eye doctor for some time They were warm and welcoming. A fantastic experience! Highly recommended!
