I had my eyeglasses done with Peepers and I paid $400+. But that included frames and blended bi-focals. It all depends on the frames and what type of glass. There is no set price. The services was excellent. I had my glasses that same afternoon!!

I highly recommend them. My wife had a pair of glasses that were never adjusted right after many tries in CA. She happened to mention it while my exam was being done and they adjusted them perfectly first try.

I got a complete, professional exam and my glasses were ready the next day. No problems with them.

I just used Peepers for the first time. The staff there are very friendly, patient and professional. I definitely think you will pay more there than somewhere like Walmart Optical. But IMHO, you'll get a better product, and definitely excellent customer service. I'm now a big fan of Peepers.

Wife and I both got glasses from there in November. I would not hesitate to recommend them (and have) to everyone.

I recently used them (based in part on Villagers recommendations) and was very pleased. Good service, good eye exam, fast glasses production. Will continue to use their services.

they also use a much better grade of lens than does LensCrafters and most of the other quickie makers.

They are more tuned to getting it right the first time instead of just meeting the "one hour" deadline.

Default Best eyeglasses lab in the area

These folks are fabulous. They understand customer service and demonstrate it with every customer.

26 posts and not one negative comment about Peepers. Boy Howdy, it's good to see a business recognized for professionalism and good service. I agree with Billiethkid that their products are superior to the optical shops that offer discount prices.

My wife recently got her glasses there and she was very impressed with the quality of the glasses and the service.

Peepers is the only place to go. They are fast, reliable, much less expensive and beat the pants off the competition. I have used them on 3 different occassions and would not hesitate to go back when the need arises.
