Design Vision Center

I have been going to Design for over 20 years now! I love them! They have a good stock and always have my contacts available. I speak Korean which helps but their customer service has always been top notch!

always come here to get my contacts and my lenses for my reading glasses
I’ve never bought frames here because I didn’t like any so I usually brought my own
I always buy my circle lenses here
the workers are really nice and don’t try to rip you off and make you buy things you don’t want

If you are looking for stylish frames, they have a great selection (especially for those with the smaller asian noses… lotsa plastic frames with nosepieces… very comfy). They carry Korean brands along with the usual high-​end brands. The Korean brands are very, very reasonably priced, and range from classic to very cool looks. I have a very high Rx and needed a 1.74 index lense with all the usual coatings. The total cost was less than what I paid last time at Lens Crafter (even with LC’s sale price).
They don’t take insurance, but see if your insurance will reimburse you or use your HSA.
The staff don’t speak too much English, but are nice. And it took less than a week to get the glasses made. :)

The service was extremely professional. Also the price was very reasonable! I love this place and will be back. Thanks.

this store carries expensive eye deigners glass/​sun glasses like Coach, Prada, Michael Khors, and more. but there is some cheap options u can choose. I remember buying 1 sunglass from here and within a yr i lost em. so if your into fasion or looking for stylish sunglasses this one is for you. They don’t accept insurances for eye exams but i recommend if you try Galleria Optical at 7100 officebuilding they are the professionals. They acept insurance plus they have fluent bi-​lingual optometrist.

After a wonderful lunch at A&J, the Ms & I hopped into my car and drove 3 seconds down the street to Design Vision Center. I’m looking to buy a cool prescriptive shades. Summer is coming and I wanna a new pair of shades to protect my eyes from the dangers of UV rays and just to look COOL.
Design Vision Center is a Korean establishment and I can only shop eyeglasses at a Korean store. Because of my big asian coconut head with a wide face and a flatter nose, I can’t go to an american eyeglass place. American place only carry frames that are more suited to caucasian face with a narrow head and a pointier nose.
Am I right, all you 4 eyes asian guys out there? You know what I’m talking about.
What sucks about Korean eyeplaces are they don’t accept health insurance. I don’t know any that do accept health insurance.
The service is okay, the lady tried very hard to find a pair of frames for me. She also showed me with her calculator how much the glasses would be with the 40% discount on particular design frames. The selection of frames have gone down since few years ago and they didn’t have the style that looked cool on my face. I will try their different location in Maryland in the future. I’m not in a hurry yet.
I did give 3 stars because she fixed my loose screws on my current shades for free.
