My son likes a specific type of look and frame and Oscar Oglethorpe is always able to accommodate. I remember the days when all frames were $150 (that's how long we've been customers).

If you are one who prefers glasses and want to wear spectacles that are a conversation piece or you just simply want to stand out--Pop in to Oscar Oglethorpe--in there, you are sure to find something to fit the bill.

I hope they are wrong. I will keep you posted! Everyone is so friendly and helpful. The downtown vibe is nice as well. Great store! It is located next to Crafted. It's a little difficult to find because the signage isn't great so really pay close attention and look for the silhouette of glasses on the door.

I went with a friend who warned me l might not like Becky (the owner) because she is opinionated and brusque. Well, Becky is brusque and opinionated, but I also found her to be kind, warm, and very knowledgeable. I told Becky l didn't like round glasses. She insisted they were right for my face. Try THESE, she said. I did. And l loved them. She explained why l liked them when l never liked any other round glasses. She spent over an hour with me and I learned a lot. She won't sell you glasses if she doesn't think they're right for you. The lenses she put in the frames l bought are far superior to those in my previous glasses. She takes her reputation seriously. She sells high quality glasses that are expensive, but for me, they're worth it. I'm not rich and I compromise on other things, but not my vision. Go to the View with an open mind. Becky is a treasure and her glasses are gorgeous, fit perfectly, and come with high quality lenses. I won't go anywhere else.

Grace and Bruce and Mena (their on site Optician) have been amazing! The most amazing part is, I purchased a pair I thought was perfect but it ended up not working at all (I wear hearing aids, have a wide bridge but narrow face, etc. so I'm not an "easy fit"). I went back and they went the extra mile over and over to make sure I had a better pair that fit better, looked better and refunded me some money because the second pair was less expensive than the first. The 2 (only) 1 star reviews here ( from Last year ) are not reflective of the service I've received the last two months from WP in Greensboro. They will gladly adjust your glasses if you purchased them from WP. I've been in several times for this. Also I've had 3 pairs sent to me over the last 2 months, they always arrive quicker than expected, I get an email each time telling me they're won their way and when they're delivered and I just pop in the store to have them adjusted after they arrive. Because of a special circumstance (they put new lenses in an old frame they no longer carry) they were delivered to the store and I received an email and a call saying they were ready for me to pick up. I would never buy my eyeglasses anywhere else and I recommend them to everyone (I get compliments almost weekly on my glasses).

As a long-time glasses and contact wearer (i've been a "four-eyes" since first grade), i've been to numerous eye doctors in several different states. These pre-Oman experiences ranged from "Hey, that wasn't too bad" to "If this condescending chauvenist says one more word, I may need bail money..." As such, I do NOT give 5 stars lightly here. Dr. Johnson is a wonderful, down-to-earth eye care professional who really knows her field and works hard to find the perfect prescription for your eyes. I was impressed that she put so much time and thought into my initial exam and made some very helpful eye health recommendations. I have been back twice since 2012 and have taken my disabled/blind Mom to Dr. Johnson as well. Mom was treated with just as much care and respect as I was. If you are looking for an eye doctor in the Greensboro area, you really can't go wrong with Oman Eye Care & Dr. Johnson. Edit: It is worth noting that while the eye care professionals at Oman are wonderful and well-worth supporting, the glasses selection there, while high quality, is on the pricey side. If you are a poor post-graduate student like myself, you may want to check out Oscar Oglethorpe in downtown GSO for affordable, trendy glasses. I also swear by the price matching at 1-800-Contacts for those in a similar budget crunch. Just being honest here.

I'm honesty very disappointed with Oman Eyecare. When I first started going there many years ago,…read morethey were extremely friendly and I never had any billing issues. However, on 2 of the last 3 visits, I've had charge disputes which came as unnecessary surprises. When I established this latest appointment, I made it perfectly clear that I expected this visit to be covered by my insurance at no charge (since I had a previous problem with them in this regard, I wanted to make sure there was no misunderstanding). The person on the line confirmed they had my current insurance information on file, and that there would be no charge. They also acknowledged that their records indicated I visited Duke University Eye Center every year for a diagnostic eye exam, so the visit to Oman would be related to my optical Rx. Again, given a past billing issue with them, when I arrived for my appointment, I made it a point of mentioning to the desk person that my visit was to be at no charge. I confirmed the same information about going to Duke Eye Center every year. No questions or issues were raised about anything I said. Honestly, if they had mentioned there would be a charge for just having a portion of the exam performed (I didn't need Oman to replicate what I had done by Duke Eye Center a couple months prior), I would have had the entire exam done or chose to leave. The person who initially examined me had the personality of a dead fish. Totally unfriendly, disengaged, and seemed as if she would have liked to be anyplace else. Subsequently, I saw the optometrist, he went through the vision procedure, and I proceeded to the front desk to check out. All I expected was to be handed my prescription. I indicated I'd be back to visit their optical shop later, since I wanted my wife with me to choose a frame. At that point, the desk person indicated that my charge is $54. I told them that this visit was to be at no charge, as is noted on my insurance card for in-network providers like Oman. I also stated that this had been previously confirmed by them. I then got fed some nonsense about not having the "complete exam," so I had to pay for the refractory (determining the vision Rx) portion. Now, mind you, the "complete exam" INCLUDES the refractory portion. If I had been told this upfront, I would have gone through the complete exam, even though it was entirely unnecessary, or just left. Obviously, there was no question from the onset as to why I scheduled an appointment with them or that my expectation was that their service would be without charge to me. Long story short is that I didn't pay them, they stated they'd submit a claim to Humana's EyeMed Vision anyway, and I walked out of there without my Rx. In essence, the visit was an entire waste of my time. It's now been 2-1/2 weeks, and I've heard nothing from them whatsoever. So, I guess I just don't get my Rx prescription or even know what they've done with the claim. Overall, it was an entirely negative experience. I place the blame on them for poor communication, having individuals on their staff who apparently don't care about friendly interactions with their patients, and for seemingly trying to bill for services where a patient had clearly communicated their expectations otherwise.
