Gerry Optical

I’ve been getting prescription eyeglasses at this location for at least 10 years. They have a nice selection (not a lot of fancy designer frames, but a nice selection) and are always very nice and helpful. After doing some comparison shopping, I find their prices are quite reasonable and competitive, and they stand behind their work. One time I went in with a new prescription and wanted new lenses in my old frames as well as a whole new frame/​lens combination. I asked to have transition lenses in both frames. I guess I didn’t know enough about transition lenses to realize that they darken on cloudy days as well as sunny days. After having them for a couple weeks, I was very frustrated and decided I wanted regular lenses in one pair, so I went back to Gerry and they changed exchanged the lenses at no extra cost to me.
Another thing… I’ve recently been obsessively shopping for new frames, really wanting to change my look. I have been to dozens of optical shops around the KC metro and even Lawrence, Kan. I’m amazed that some shops have hardly any mirrors and terrible lighting. Are you kidding me? I would think that big, well lit, accessible mirrors would be standard at optical shops, but apparently not. The Gerry stores are designed so you can actually see what you’re looking at as you make a decision about what you’ll be wearing on your face every day.
