Ric, the owner, is highly skilled in measuring and creating lenses. His eyeglass styles are current with those found on both coasts.

Ric's selection is wide in price, quality and style. I highly recommend Ric and Eye Works.

We found frames we liked at several of the name brand stores around Ames. You know what convinced us to work with Eye Mart? The friendliest, most helpful, most quality and service conscious group people people I have seen. The selection of frames is great, the prices are fair, and the delivered glasses were just fine. But the ladies who helped us were the best in the retail industry. I wish I could remember the name of the young lady who primarily took care of us... blond, ponytail, works part-time (we always came in on Saturdays)... and I would name her her, but she is awesome. Great place to do business!

I felt they had a great selection of glasses available, and I definitely felt like the value for your money was much better than I've seen in other optical stores. The optician was knowledgeable and professional without being stuffy. He described everything he was doing and why as we went through the eye exam process, and was friendly and courteous, as well. The entire staff, in fact were quite friendly, courteous and helpful. The optician who helped me went above and beyond the call of duty to make sure that my insurance would be applied before I lost it, making multiple phone calls to do so. I will definitely go back, and recommend this store to others. As far as the other reviews, note that one is over a year old, the other eight years old. I suspect there have been some staffing changes since these were written.

She was very knowledgeable and professional and took the time to pull some options for me to try out. Her coworker was also very nice helping the other customers. I thought the prices seemed reasonable, the process was easy, good selection of frames, and the glasses arrived in a reasonable amount of time. I am happy with both the glasses and sunglasses. I highly recommend!
