About America’s Best Contacts & Eyeglasses
Description
Y'know, I've gotta tell ya about America's Best Contacts & Eyeglasses - it's honestly become my go-to spot for all things eye-related. From personal experience, they've really nailed that sweet spot between affordability and quality service. I remember walking in there last summer, totally frustrated with my old frames, and walking out feeling like I'd finally found my optical home.

• On-site labs for faster turnaround on many prescriptions
• Contact lens expertise with major brands available
• Kids' eyewear section with durable frame options
• Digital retinal imaging available
• Walk-in appointments welcome at most locations
• In-house insurance processing
• Frame adjustments and minor repairs at no cost
Best Time to Visit
Let me share a pro tip - mid-morning on weekdays is your best bet. I've found that Tuesdays and Wednesdays tend to be quieter, especially between 10 AM and noon. Weekend appointments can get pretty hectic (trust me, I learned this the hard way), so if possible, schedule your visit during the week. The first few days of the month can be busier due to new insurance cycles kicking in. And hey, if you're planning to use vision insurance benefits, remember that end-of-year rush - November and December get super packed!
How to Get There
America's Best locations are typically situated in convenient retail areas and shopping centers across the country. Most stores offer plenty of parking right out front - way better than those cramped downtown optical shops! They're usually accessible by public transportation too, depending on your city. Just remember to check the specific location's hours before heading out, cause they can vary by store.
Tips for Visiting
Ok, here's the real deal based on my multiple visits - bring your current prescription if you have one, but don't sweat it if you don't. They can do an eye exam right there. Also, if you're getting new glasses, wear a shirt with a pattern or color that you frequently wear - it helps when picking frames that'll match your style (learned that one from a super helpful optician).
Make sure to bring your insurance card and ID. And here's something I wish someone had told me earlier - if you're getting contacts, plan to spend about an hour if you need a fitting. It's also smart to check their website for deals before going in - they often have some pretty sweet promotions running.
Oh, and don't forget to ask about their Eyecare Club if you wear contacts or need multiple pairs of glasses. It's seriously saved me hundreds over the years. Also, try to eat before your appointment - nobody wants to choose frames while hangry (guilty as charged)!
If you're bringing kids along, morning appointments when they're fresh and alert work best. And definitely take advantage of their free adjustments service - even if you bought your frames elsewhere, they're usually happy to help with basic adjustments. Just remember that weekday mornings are your friend if you want the most attentive service and shortest wait times.
