Ric, the owner, is highly skilled in measuring and creating lenses. His eyeglass styles are current with those found on both coasts. (I've lived in LA and NYC) Most frames are made in Italy, France, Japan and other countries known for making high quality and durable frames. (I wear Prada, Burberry and ProDesign Denmark frames.) Ric's selection is wide in price, quality and style. I highly recommend Ric and Eye Works.

I have been buying my glasses from vision for less since I moved to Ames Iowa almost 7 yrs ago. I…read morehave always been met with a professional and welcoming employee attitude. My last visit not so much. I had them fill my prescription same as always. Only this time my prescription made me dizzy and gave me a headache. After talking with my opthalmologist at Wolfe eye clinic, they determined it was a wrong prescription on one lens. The attendant at vision for less told me there was no wrong prescription, and that Wolfe eye clinic was wrong. I asked how to explain the headahes and double vision dizziness. She told me I could go somewhere else if I don't like the service. Deborah Maier is the employees name. No professionalism require for the glasses attended at Vision for less. Never have I been so insulted. I returned my glasses and will never give them a referral or go back for thier service. I will in fact warn my friends and colleagues at ISU not to use this business.

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!

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!
