Remember the "good old Days"? You know....the days when you went into a store and everyone smiled and greeted you? Then shook your hand and made you feel truly welcomed. Well.....this happened to me when I walked into McBride and Blackburn Optical. The entire staff was so kind and helpful - yet very professional. Not once did I feel rushed or pushed toward the most expensive frame,and their Eyewear selection was great and it was obvious that the frames were good quality Eyewear. There were so many frames, and there was something to fit every Eyewear budget. The staff thoroughly explained in detail about each type of lenses and coatings that were available. This made it easy for me to choose what was best for me and my budget. The turn around time was exactly as promised. If you are looking for great service and great quality frames and lenses I wholeheartedly recommend McBride and Blackburn Opticians. Stop in...and enjoy a visit back to "The Good Old Days"......when quality and great service reigned supreme. read more

If you are unhappy with your current Optician, or are looking for someone to help you with new glasses, look no further! As soon as you walk through the door, you will know you have come to the right place! I have purchased glasses here in the past and stopped by their convenient location on Timberlake Rd. for a glasses adjustment. The staff here are the most friendly and helpful professionals you would ever want to meet! The make you and your needs seem important and make you feel like you are the only person in the store! They provide very quick, yet very professional, exact and cost effective service, for whatever your glasses needs may be. Even if you are happy with your current Optrician, give McBride & Blackburn a chance to serve you , and I am betting you won't return to your current provider! read more

I am a letter carrier, so I wear sunglasses all day and just about every day. I purchased a pair of Oakley sunglasses from McBride and Blackburn about four or fives years ago. Since then I have step on them, had the nose pads replaced several times, and just recently I purchased the lenses on-line and they were also replaced for me. Each time I have been in to see them, I have been greeted with a warm hello and smile from all the associates that are not helping customers. I do not think you can get more of a professional and friendly environment. Thanks! read more

I have been coming here to McBride Blackburn Opticians my whole life and recommend it to everyone because of the amazing styles of glasses they have and most importantly because of the wonderful customer service they offer. They are the sweetest people you will ever meet and are so helpful and genuinely caring. I am very difficult when it comes to having my glasses fixed right so they will be perfectly comfortable on my face and they are so incredibly sweet and make sure that when I leave I am 100% happy. They are locally owned and are simply the best!!! read more

I just can't say enough nice things about the entire staff! I went there to purchase new frames for a new prescription after cataract surgery. Stefani and everyone there helped me decide on the frames which was so helpful! When the new glasses arrived, I was given time to see if I would be happy with everything. When I discovered I was not, they were happy to order new lenses for me. Stefani truly wanted me to be satisfied and now that I have the new lenses, I am for sure satisfied. They treat you like family and I will be a forever client! read more

I only have good things to say about this place! The people who work there are all so polite and kind. They're so fast when it comes to ordering new frames. I ordered a pair Friday and I went and picked them up the following Thursday! Less than a week. I highly recommend going here to look for glasses, they have a wide selection and you are able to order different colors from then as well. Mcbride and Blackburn Opticians is by far my favorite place to go to when looking for a new pair of frames. read more

My husband and I were first time customers. We loved the experience at McBride & Blackburn. We both love our glasses. They are very professional and helped me find the right glasses for me. We were NOT rushed like at other places that you are trying to choose your glasses while your eyes are still DILATED!! We will continue to do business with these GREAT people! We are confident in their commitment to excellent customer service. Thank Y' all for helping us find glasses that we LOVE! read more

We have been going here for 20+ years to get my wife's eyeglasses. They are always very nice and helpful and the whole staff are totally amazing. Anytime there is an adjustment needed, or we have a question, they are helpful, highly trained, and eager to please. I/we highly recommend the Opticians and staff for your needs. Their prices are amazingly affordable too. read more

I am visiting from out of state, fell and bent my glasses. McBride & Blackburn were recommended for repair. So glad that's where we went. They were quick and complete with the repair, friendly, and I felt very safe from a Covid perspective. Virginia hospitality is alive and well at McBride-Blackburn Opticians! Thank you so much. read more
