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!!

Best experience I have ever had buying new glasses. My prescription is always perfect and I can always count on having the best help picking out frames that actually match my face for the most comfortable fit. I recommend Meadows Optical to everyone I know.
