It was that time of year again.. time to get an eye and contacts exam and buy new everything. I…read morealways dread this because my prescription is so awful and changes every year, so I always need a new contact prescription and new glasses. On top of that, I hate wearing glasses because even after paying extra for the thinner lens, my lenses are so thick that I look ridiculous wearing them. This year was different. My insurance changed so I looked for a new eye care place near our home in Maplewood. I came across this location and chose it because they had Saturday hours and good deals through my insurance. My eye exam was quick and painless, and I came out with a new glasses and contacts prescription. I went to pick our glasses. Instead of searching through a ton of mediocre frames and waiting in line for what seems forever to get someone to assist you, I was helped quickly by someone that understands my style and need for a frame that goes well with my thick lenses. She walked me through all of my options and got me the cheapest set of the best glasses possible (anti reflective, thinner lenses, the whole 9 yards). After ordering them, I was led to the counter where I also ordered contacts and was given a rebate form to send in once I received them. A week later, my contacts arrived at my home and less than two weeks later, my glasses arrived. They are amazing! For literally years, probably 15 to give perspective, I've only worn glasses at night because I hate how I couldn't see as well with them and how bad they looked on me. Now I wear them whenever my eyes are tired or just for fun! It's so nice to be able to give my eyes a break, especially when I work overnights or long hours in the hospital. I highly recommend this place. They have a huge selection of awesome glasses, service is quick and painful, and the staff are all super nice and eager to help. So glad I came here!

My daughter was growing out of her too-small frames, and had a new prescription, yet we didn't have…read moreeyewear benefits for her yet. So I would be paying out of pocket. I was determined to get a good quality pair. So my 8 yo daughter and I drove down down to Hastings from Minneapolis one morning. We were greeted with enthusiasm from Gina, and we both had so much fun trying on glasses. The selection is amazing. Frames with style that aren't boring. My daughter narrowed it down to 3 frames. Then it came time to price out the lenses... The package price was better than I expected for her lenses (Transitions, with anti-reflective coating). We ordered them and they arrived 4 days later. 4 days!!!! I know they would be a special order, but I expected they would take at least a week. My daughter looks great - she won't have frames everyone else has - they fit -and I saved a bunch of money. It's def worth the trip. Even if the trip was longer, I would drive there and back for the service. My own prescription isn't due until January, but you can bet I'll be making a trip down there for my own pair. And nobody else in Minneapolis will have the pair I'm wearing - something important to me as well. P.S. Sure, if you don't care about style or fit, you can order glasses online, but my priority is to look good and feel good, while making sure my eyes are pampered.
