Similarly, online stores promise the earth, but when you get that pair of glasses that looked great on the website, how often does the mirror tell a different story? You have choices. We get it. But to achieve the perfect look and the perfect fit in glasses and sunglasses, there's simply no substitute for stepping into the Optical Shop.

Lenses and Fit Report

What use is a beautiful frame without the right lenses? Our licensed optician, Lynn Via, will guide you through the various lens options: materials, types, tints, and anti-reflective. Digitally ground single-vision lenses provide the sharpest vision. Essilor Eyezen and Shamir SV Autograph III are available with clear, anti-reflective lenses.

Sunglasses Report

From Jackie O to Brad Pitt, sunglasses have become a celebrity's must-have accessory. While Roanoke, VA might be a far cry from Hollywood, CA, the selection of superb sunglasses at the Optical Shop will make you look like a movie megastar. Nothing enhances one's appearance quite like a pair of sensational sunglasses, so why settle for the measly selection you'll find at the big-box stores in the mall?

I have a small face and Len has fitted me perfectly with glasses over the past 10 years or so. Service is impeccable and often he has supplied a spare part if I have broken something like a temple piece on moving day.

We have been relying on Lyn at the Optical Shop for years. He is much more knowledgeable than anybody else we have seen — and I’ve been in glasses every day for 50+ years! He carries the best products and styles out there and fits them perfectly. You can’t go wrong here.

From the moment you walk through the door until the day you pick up your new glasses you will find this a pleasant and professional experience. Lynn is amazing! He knows his products and he knows the human face. I suggest letting Lynn guide you when you pick out frames, this results in glasses you’ll love. I sure love mine time after time.

I was very impressed by the service and selection at the shop. As a person who's only been to a LensCrafters before, this was quite a change. I appreciate the customer service and knowledge that was provided by Lynn. I would definitely recommend this place.

The best quality and service in Roanoke. My family has never had an optician put as much effort into making sure that the frames we purchase are suitable for the way they will be used and that they fit perfectly.

I have been seeing Lynn for many years, and I won't even consider going to someone else. My experiences with Lynn at The Optical Shop are excellent. Not only does he have great frames to select from, his service is the best. I'm due for a new pair of glasses and will be going back to him. If you want service and quality see Lynn at The Optical Shop.
