At Virginia Eye Institute, we place our focus on service.
Our optical shops provide more than just the best available eyewear at competitive prices. We pride ourselves on our ability to always meet or exceed your expectations.
We offer a broad selection of brand name frames and unique styles, including Lindberg frames custom tailored to each individual and the new electronic emPower! eyewear offering another alternative to bifocals and progressive lenses.
There is a wide array of lens types including activity-specific glasses (such as computer or sport), scratch-resistant, ultraviolet, non-glare, polarized, progressive lenses, even electronic lenses. Licensed opticians will work with you to ensure a proper fit and will assist you in selecting the best lens options for your lifestyle.
Stylish sunglasses are available in all of our optical shops. These include non-prescription, prescription, and polarized. Stylish optical wear accessories are also available.
We believe our staff and our products will exceed your expectations. However, if you are not satisfied with your optical purchase within 30 days of purchase, we will make it right or give you your money back.
