As a person with a very petite narrow face and close-set eyes, I have always struggled to find…read moreglasses that fit my face. Finding glasses I LIKE has been even harder. The usual stores have very similar frames with very similar profiles for much wider faces. Occoquan Optical has a completely different feel than the stereotypical eyeglass shop. Rachel has created a calm, airy and bright environment with individually curated hand-selected frames. It's clear that Rachel has considered multiple types of customers- the range of styles, shapes and sizes is incredible! I went to the shop three times- to browse glasses, to pick a second style and purchase both, and then to pick up my glasses after the lenses were done. Each visit was as enjoyable as the first! Rachel is personable, attentive and warm. Conversation flowed easily and she loved on my baby during my first visit. She also put up with my indecisiveness! Not only did I pull off at least 30 frames from the walls, but she even started a poll on Facebook when I was unsure which pair fit my face best! By the end of the appointment, Rachel understood my style enough to select a second pair of glasses off the wall- which I ended up purchasing! It's so exciting to have glasses that build up my confidence and make me feel like a trendy mama! Looking forward to building my glasses collection. I'll be back to Occoquan Optical soon!

Rachel opened the store early for me and spent some time to ask lots of questions to understand what I needed and what price range I wanted to be in. After explaining my condition she recommended some special lenses that would potentially address my issue. I ordered the glasses and they were ready for pick up on the date promised. The glasses were perfect. The shop has an amazing selection of really fun and diverse frames. Rachel is a delight and is very knowledgeable. Highly recommend.

And good news for you who can't stand the Glaucoma test, it is no longer a puff of air, it is just a hand held tool that shoots a less intrusive puff of air. Good selection and it's somewhat competitive on prices, but that is really up to you and what your eyes require and you prefer. In 2023 I had a contact scratch my cornea and lost vision in my left eye. They knew what to do and got me back to good in just a few days. It was a medical visit which is different than an eye wear visit.

This is a perfect stop for anyone looking for that special little gift or trinket for a friend or loved one.

I didn't catch her name but the lady who works the desk is extremely welcoming and helpful as well. You need a decretive piece of wood art with a snappy little quip about wine or alcohol, they've got it. Perhaps you want something that displays your or someone you knows patriotic fervor, it's here. Or you may like a new dish or two as a centerpiece that strikes up conversation at your next get together, well then, you guessed it, it's waiting for you. There's no reason not to check this place out. Have some brunch at the Secret Garden Cafe then take a foot-tour of this amazing town, and pop in to see this place in all its glory. Enjoy!

There was a note inside the glass cupboard which read something like this "take any book you like, read it and return with a note included for the next reader." I was delighted! I felt like congratulating the owner for such a wonderful idea of sharing books. Growing up reading, books have been my closest companions since I could remember. This place would def be frequented by me. Equally charming were the many antique pieces set up ever so cutely in the shop with price tags (super affordable) on them! I found my new fave vintage shop! And if you love vintage/antique shops like I do, def check this gem of a place out!

I have been going here for a few years since it's close to home, and it's a decent experience - I…read moreLOVE that they don't blow the puff of air in your eyes like typical offices do, and Dr. Frederick is nice, the wait time is usually long though. Typically when I go for my visit I get checked in and end up waiting for 15-20 min, then after they take me back to the first room and machine where they look at your eyes before putting you in the room to wait for the doctor another 20 min which is a bit annoying. When I visited 10/31 for my exam this year, I was on time and told the doctor was running 45 minutes behind so I just waited in my car (although there are places to grab a quick bite nearby) and when I got in I still had to wait another 10-15 min as she was going back and forth between patients. The staff is really nice, and the exam itself is comfortable so the time is really the only reason I took a star off. She's also very patient bc I am a bit sensitive with the bright light at the part of the exam when trying to look into my retina. I don't have glaucoma in my family and she asked me to return for an assessment, but I haven't gone - it just feels a bit odd but I appreciate her being cautious and proactive. I don't purchase my glasses or frames so I can't speak on that part. There is plenty of parking in the lot behind, or a few spots right in front. She has a clean restroom as well.

New Doctor here this time uses my old prescription as a baseline and states "okay 20/20 so we will keep it the same" then changes my contacts vendor/type without asking me.

Then the Doctor changes my eye glasses prescription a little when she stated it was already 20/20 with the current prescription. What the F! Is she getting kick backs???!!! Never going here again! Trash!
