“I had a great experience at EyeMart!”
“I was finally able to find some petite frames to fit my face! Ended up getting regular glasses and sunglasses! Prices are great and Ryan is an awesome representative for your store! I needed an adjustment after I got my new glasses, he adjusted them super quick and was very nice about it! Great place to go!!!”

“I cannot say enough good things about the customer service and care I received from Allie and Ryan.”
“Their attention to making sure I was happy with the glasses that I bought was second to none. They always had a smile on their faces and called me by name when I walked in the store. I love the three pair of glasses that they both helped me pick out. I will definitely be going back there when I need another pair!!”
