Bauer’s Optical

Tried the usual spots and got lousy exams with so so exams. The doc at the Fairfax location is not only knowledgeable but also explains everything completely. Very competent staff as well. I was thankful that after laser surgery I didn’t need glasses for a long time, but now I do need prescription «readers» instead of just magnifiers. I am very happy with the final product.

I’ve been wearing glasses for 50 years and as a consequence I’m very picky about both eye exams as well as my glasses. It’s been a struggle lately as many established practices are being acquired by chains. I’ve tried all the major chains and have not been happy with the results.
I was happy to discover how experienced all the doctors at Bauer’s Optical are. The eye exams I’ve received there have been extremely thorough and have resulted in prescriptions which allow me to see perfectly, no easy task. The glasses are very well made too. The difference between the measurements taken at a quality establishment and the smaller set taken at a chain makes a huge difference in how well you’ll be able to see. Progressive lenses are especially challenging and no chain has ever made a pair I’ve felt completely comfortable wearing. The two pairs I’ve gotten at Bauer’s have been perfect. I’ve been able to adjust to them in record time, always a concern with new progressive lenses.
Everyone at the office is friendly and extremely competent. So much so that I continue making the long drive after moving an hour away. I actually enjoy my visits there.
