Affordable Optics

The staff is amazing getting my contacts from here. After I he my glasses already they were helpful. First time putting in me lens but the woman there was kind and waiting. Can’t wait till I go back.

So happy I found this place. The staff, pricing and efficiency is what makes this place great. My appointment was easily scheduled and the doctor was nice. The front of house staff was helpful in picking out glasses and my frames were ready in a week. Really couldn’t have asked for more and I am very happy to support a small, local and black owned business in Baltimore.

This place is amazing!!! I just moved to Baltimore and no longer have vision insurance. This place is extremely affordable and the customer service is wonderful! The staff made me feel right at home. The Dr. was pleasant and knowledgeable. She took time to answer all of my questions AND gave me prescriptions for not only my contacts, but my glasses as well, although I came for only a contact exam. Also, they gave me a MONTH long pair of contacts with solution and case! I paid $ 65 without insurance!!! The Dr. gave me both prescriptions without hesitation and I went on my way. I will continue to come to this place while I live in the area. I was extremely worried about being able to afford an examination and this place was such a blessing! Thank you all for your help and keep up the great work! God bless!

By far the best customer service !!! The staff is very professional, just a warm inviting atmosphere. Will definitely return again

I’ve been wearing glasses for 70 years. (Right. I’m a geezer.) In that time I’ve dealt with many opticians. From the time when you could buy a pair of eye glasses for $ 23, to when glasses became an overhyped fashion accessory and prices soared into the $multi-​hundreds for a frame – essentially a bit of twisted wire or plastic. At that point buying glasses became a matter of finding an optician who offered a basic product for this basic need at basic prices. Not easy.
However I am pleased to report that I recently discovered Affordable Optics. An obviously low overhead operation (you’ve gotta buzz yourself upstairs and through labyrinthine corridors into a tiny sales and service area.) But it’s worth the effort. There I found courteous and knowledgeable salespersons who took my prescription and — a week later provided me with accurately made glasses at a price I could afford and knew how make the needed adjustments to fit – something too many opticians ignore. Quick. Economical. Accurate. What more could one ask?

I love this place!
You can browse some of the frames yourself, and there are some higher end frames behind the counter. Amazing prices, some special deals, and excellent customer service!
Let me be clear – the office is not fancy, and you may have to wait-​but the staff is so friendly, kind, professional, and efficient! I felt really well taken care of, I got two pairs of glasses for an extremely good price, and I had a wonderful time while I was there! It’s a great find.

Customer service is unmatched. Options are endless. I had the option of choosing from a variety of in house frames or having a frame ordered from a catalogue. Almost any brand you can think of is available and the people in house are pretty friendly. Got prescription glasses for reading but definitely will be returning next spring for new summer shades.

Amazing prices and really great customer service. I took my own vintage frame in and had lenses with anti-​reflective coating put in. The turnaround time was about four days. I’m so happy with the experience!
