With maybe one or two exceptions I've been getting my glasses at Wal-Mart for the past 20-odd years. Just bring them my prescription and have them help with the choice of frames, extras, etc. About 1/3 to 1/2 the price of the optical shop at Ocala Eye and you don't have to make an appointment to have them adjusted. Opticians are apparently licensed by the state of Florida and, talking to the optician at the Wal-Mart on 441, all optical shops have to have at least one. That doesn't mean that they won't also have a bunch of barely trained minimum-wagers there too, but I try to make sure that the person who helps me IS the optician.

No complaints.
