Horner-Rausch Super Optical

Evidently, I’ve been blind for years. Let me back up. I first got glasses in [redacted] back in my first go ’round in Nashville. The heavy course load gave me an astigmatism and my once perfect vision was slightly marred. The prescription was light. I wore glasses mostly for reading (or, if I’m being honest, for fashion) and kept it moving.
Fast forward to my next go ’round here. More reading. More computer time. A new astigmatism. My eye doctor confirmed that my once slightly marred vision had gotten ever so slightly more marred. As prescriptions go, mine was still (very) mild but with all the screen staring I do, I needed something to help in the fight. Armed with a prescription, I set about the task of looking for new eye glasses. Using my handy dandy Unilocal app, I came across several stores. Some were painfully hip. Some couldn’t be bothered to help me look for glasses. Some required a mortgage payment.
I’d resisted coming in to Horner Rausch because of the lack of reviews. The outside of the building reminded me of the St. Matthews area on Louisville so there was a nice ‘familiarity’ but the older building made me question whether or not I could find something that I’d like. I walked in and within seconds, I was warmly greeted. Good first impression. I let my associate know what I was looking for and that I didn’t know what was stylish these days, etc. I also fumbled when it came to discussing my insurance, what it covered, etc. Basically, I was a mess. But, it wasn’t a problem. We tried on several pairs of glasses. I discovered what was stylish these days as well as the science to/​of picking the right pair of glasses for my face. Never once was I rushed or pushed into a sale. In fact, I left without a commitment. A few days later of comparing my finalists, I decided on HR. I left my insurance information, got a few quotes on the glasses I was considering and kept it moving. A couple of days later the insurance info was in the system and I was ready to choose my frames. When I picked my designer frames, I braces myself for impact and was shocked (in a good way) at the price. Not only were these the most affordable pair I’d looked at, they were cheaper than the other frames I was considering at HR. Thank goodness for good insurance and thank goodness for non-​pushy salespeople who put my needs in front of their commission. One week later and I was ready to hit the town in my new frames and resume staring at a computer screen and slowly damage the only eyes I have. Well, one for two isn’t bad.
If you live on the east side and are looking for glasses, you owe it to yourself and your pocket book to stop in to HR. I think you’ll be pleasantly surprised. I was.

Large store with wide selection of specs, always available to fix my sun glasses and did a wonderful fast fix on my beloved maui jim’s this year. Contact lens prices seem cheap and it is attached to my the much loved Dr Fenn’s office.
