Grande Optical

I'm definitely making this place my family eye doctor. I use to go to Walmart on Alton Gloor because it's cheap but the doctor and staff are depressing and the doctor is so uptight makes u feel awkward and even when they used to set you up for an appointment she wasn't even there same excuse all the time. I got tired of it so I found this small place at the corner of Boca Chica and Paredes and the doctor she is very sweet always smiling and she is very good at her job. The staff they are very welcoming and the boys are silly but professionals. Its pricey but worth it. Thanks guys.

I've had my eye exams in Eyemasters, both Walmart quick optometry offices as well as other top notch local eye doctors & this small corner eye glass and exam office which may appear like a whole in the wall place but it gave me the best service for the little $ I paid. First of all, since years ago, I was told by different optometrists that my Astigmatism would worsen in time eventually needing Toric contact lenses. I have been using Toric lenses for 3 years now and this place with this doctor of Asian descent used a longer eye exam technique before all the technology replaced time-consuming methods and my Astigmatism was balanced out saving me more $ in buying Toric lenses. Now, again I'm able to wear regular soft lenses which are less expensive and they offer packages that include the eye exams for glasses and contacts with their frames come out cheaper than I've spent in the past. Last time at Lens Masters I paid nearly $1,000 on 2 glass designer frames with Rx lenses aside from $150.00 for my eye exam from a Walmart optometry. Today, I spent $140.00 for my eye exam fitted for both contacts and glasses which includes a 6 mth supply of contacts in clear and an additional $20.00 if I choose color. Their designer frames were offered at 40% discount, I didn't care for their styles. If I keep my last frame, they'll charge me $40-50.00 to just update the lenses to my new Rx. All other places are charging $60-125 for the exam alone leaving me to buy my lenses through online lens express which is actually more expensive than my deal today. What I appreciated the most was that no doctor had EVER tried to save me money and made me believe I needed Toric or more expensive remedies to keep them in business when my eye sight could be balanced if an old school technique was used. I'm so grateful and would definitely recommend people with Astigmatism to try this place and see if your sight can be balanced using regular soft lenses while saving you money. By the way, as I paid, our local judge Gilbert Hinojosa dropped in for service to his frames. Other local professionals take their business there as well.
