Why It’s Better to Buy Your Eyewear from Your Local Eye Doctor

Jan 1, 2025

You can buy almost everything online today. With so many online retailers offering prescription glasses, it may be tempting to purchase the first great deal you find. But when you’re looking for something as important as eyewear, nothing compares to the experience of buying from a local eye doctor. At Overland Optical Family Eye Care in St. Louis and St. Charles, we strive to provide the highest level of personalized care to our patients. Here’s why choosing us for your eyewear is a smart decision for your vision and community.

When you come to Overland Optical Family Eye Care, you’re not just another transaction—you’re part of our community. We enjoy getting to know you, from your lifestyle to your style preferences. We will help you find lenses and frames that not only enhance your vision but also showcase your unique personality.  

High-quality, precise prescriptions 

Crafting lenses is more than just science; it’s an art. We consider everything—lens thickness, frame size, material—to create the perfect pair of glasses for you. Our experienced lab team excels at crafting custom eyewear that matches your prescription exactly. Additionally, if you love the look of rimless lenses, our on-site lab team has the expertise to custom-shape them for you—something not every place can offer.

Same day/next day service for many prescriptions 

We know you’re busy, and waiting weeks for new glasses isn’t ideal. Our state-of-the-art lab technology allows us to provide many prescriptions the same day or the next day. This means you avoid waiting for insurance labs or online orders. Our expert technicians ensure quality and accuracy with every pair of glasses created in our lab. 

Try before you buy 

One of the perks of visiting us is trying on frames in person. There’s nothing like seeing and feeling how different styles suit you. Our friendly team can provide honest feedback and expert advice to help you pick frames that make you feel great and fit your lifestyle. 

Shop our collection from the comfort of your home 

We get that sometimes you just want the convenience of shopping from home. That’s why we offer an online eyewear shop with a virtual try-on feature. You can explore our collection, find your favorites, and get professional advice on the fit and lenses—all without leaving your couch.
