I brought in my eyeglasses for repair, and I was truly impressed by the professionalism, efficiency, and attention to detail demonstrated by your team. From the moment I arrived, I was greeted courteously and treated with genuine concern for resolving my issue. The repair was completed quickly and with excellent craftsmanship--my glasses now fit comfortably and function as well as (if not better than) when they were new. They value customer satisfaction. read more

I just want to give a HUGE shoutout to Miss Renee, the owner of @affordableoptics She personally called me to let me know my contacts were ready, and when I explained that I wouldn't get off work until after closing, she asked if I was completely out, which I was. She then asked where I worked and VOLUNTEERED to drop them off to me. When I tell you my heart is FULL . I no longer go to my previous eye doctor due to multiple less-than-favorable experiences, and for this Black woman to go above and beyond for me speaks volumes about her character and confirms that I made the right decision. And let me add... this was my FIRST visit to this place! Customer service, community, and care like this is EVERYTHING. read more

The ONLY place to go downtown. They have a new location in Owings Mills as well. Wonderful Ladies. Thank you so much for my walk in adjustment. read more

I was visiting the area from Hawai'i, and needed an extra pair of contact lenses. This business was very kind & helpful -- from the first interaction I had telephonically, to the last when I left the office. The two ladies I interacted with were both very welcoming and pleasant. You can tell this is type of business is in it for the people/community they serve; it reminded me of home. read more

A cozy store with friendly staff within walking distance of our house. The glasses I ordered were half the cost of similar ones from Lenscrafters. read more

Renee and Melissa provided us the best warming welcome. Both of them were quick to attend our care needs also provided us with multiple options to consider. Renee is very professional, patient and knowledgeable. I highly recommend their stelar service and warm atmosphere. Next time you need frames consider this business!! Renee and Melissa are the best team!!! read more

I think the office in Baltimore City it's highly unprofessional I believe they screw up a lot of orders. The receptionist is always always on the personal call in front of clients never once have I seen her not on a personal call. Even when she is assisting you she is on a personal call I think that's highly unprofessional on top of not getting orders correct. The eye doctors they seem to be amazing but they should get rid of the secretary or make her put a phone in a car and start paying attention to clients. I wouldn't recommend this office.​ read more

I normally dread eyecare prescription appointments, been burned more than once by "big chain" providers. I took a chance on a positive review of Affordable Optics. I was not disappointed. The staff are pleasant, professional and polite. Dr. Leonard clearly, thoroughly explained the exam process. Great customer service is #1 for me. I made a special request, that was immediately fulfilled. My well-fitting, stylish glasses were delivered within a week. I am a very happy client. read more

Affordable Optics - Eyewear & Opticians Near Me - Baltimore, Maryland

I had a wonderful experience here. They were closing shortly but were able to fix two pairs of glasses of mine in a very short period of time while taking care of existing clients. I will certainly come back for eye care needs! read more

Pretty friendly and easy to talk! Recommended everyone to come here if they need a glasses to fix!

Amazing service! I'm traveling and needed an emergency pair, René quickly checked my prescription and hooked me up! 5/5

Absolutely brilliant staff. Everybody was so friendly and utterly charming, from start to finish. I happened to get an appointment within a week of emailing, and didn't have to wait more than five minutes or so for the exam. Doctor was sweet and patient with me (as I tend to get easily confused with my own eyes) and addressed my concerns directly and concisely. When I went to select my frames, the ladies in the office were so attentive and helpful! I said I liked bold and colorful frames, and immediately they brought out hidden boxes of options to show off. The wall simply could not fit them all! I wound up going with one of the first few pairs, but it was great to try some options and chat for a bit. (Even if I did accidentally leave my card there and had to loop back--whoops! But they were great about that too, haha.) I'll be telling my friends to look here when they need new specs! read more

It's always a pleasure when my family and I go get glasses and eye exams, I have not one bad or negative thing to say, 5 Stars , if you decide to go see for yourselves you'll know what I've experienced over the years read more

It took me about 1 month to actually get an appointment, but I had a great experience! PLUS, it was all for under $100 for contact lenses + glasses prescription -- seriously a steal. I highly recommend Affordable Optics. The optometrist was gentle and thorough. The office had the old, good stuff -- she had a plethora of lenses for me to look through, and was careful and took her time when I couldn't tell the difference. As a person with an astigmatism, sometimes only the shape of the letter changes, which makes it hard to really say which is more clear. She didn't upsell me, and gave me 5 trial lenses for my changed prescription so I was certain it was good. The office was also prompt in giving me my prescription. I trust the optometrist here, 0and affordable optics. read more

What amazingly pleasant service! Don't miss this place, esp if you work at UM Medical Center or in Mt Vernon.

This place absolutely deserves all 5 stars because of the excellent customer service. Renee, the owner, does whatever she can to help make it right for you. I could have gotten my contacts from somewhere much closer to where I live, but taking the bus to get to Affordable Optics was so worth it. Go here for your eye needs! read more

I love this place!! You can browse some of the frames yourself, and there are some higher end frames behind the counter. Amazing prices, some special deals, and excellent customer service! Let me be clear--the office is not fancy, and you may have to wait-but the staff is so friendly, kind, professional, and efficient!! I felt really well taken care of, I got two pairs of glasses for an extremely good price, and I had a wonderful time while I was there! It's a great find. read more

I am so happy that Affordable Optics was recommended to me. Ms. Renee and the Optometrist and the nicest and sweetest women!!!! I am more than satisfied with the service and product provided. There was another assistant there who was very patient with me and my indecisive self! I highly recommend!!! read more

I love Affordable Optics, the staff is really patient and help customers with great options on eyewear. They are very accommodating and go above and beyond to ensure great customer experiences. I referred my entire family to Affordable Optics! The prices are just what the name says! I will always go back and recommend others. read more

The only reason I gave five stars is, this medium doesn't offer more! From my first visit to my last, I found the staff highly personable & professional. They didn't try to sell me anything comma rather they allowed me to take my time and browse through the amazing selection A-frames they had to offer. I was kept informed during the process of filling my prescription& received my bifocals in a timely fashion. I misspoke when I referred to my "last visit", as I told Renee when she called to see if I was satisfied, I will be back! read more

I had an incredibly positive experience visiting this wonderful store. I had purchased new frames as my old pair were bent. The frames were the same style but I needed to move the lenses to the new pair of glasses. I called ahead and they told me to come in and they would take a look at the glasses. The team greeted me on arrival and asked how they could help. I explained what I needed and the process took around 30 seconds. It was done very professionally and expertly. I am definitely a fan of their service after this experience. read more

My favorite place to get great designer frames. Enormous selection of eyeglasses. Friendly, professional and attentive staff.

It's been a few years since I've come here. But I will return Soon. It's tome. I need a. We pair of glasses. I have never forgotten the owner Ms. Renee. Soooo accommodating and kind. My RX is very strong. Can be a bit intimidating. I came here after leaving a popular eye glass place and was a bit humiliated because of the strength of my RX.. Me. Renee & her amazing staff didn't judge and made me feel so comfortable. Even at the Owings Mills location, the same spirit. I went there just to see what was in the location to get a little adjustment done to my shades. Beautiful experience. read more

Lol Thanks Renee for all your help....! Love my glasses Francine J. Adams read more

I've been wearing glasses for 70 years. (Right. I'm a geezer.) In that time I've dealt with many opticians. From the time when you could buy a pair of eye glasses for $23, to when glasses became an overhyped fashion accessory and prices soared into the $multi-hundreds for a frame--essentially a bit of twisted wire or plastic. At that point buying glasses became a matter of finding an optician who offered a basic product for this basic need at basic prices. Not easy. However I am pleased to report that I recently discovered Affordable Optics. An obviously low overhead operation (you've gotta buzz yourself upstairs and through labyrinthine corridors into a tiny sales and service area.) But it's worth the effort. There I found courteous and knowledgeable salespersons who took my prescription and -- a week later provided me with accurately made glasses at a price I could afford and knew how make the needed adjustments to fit--something too many opticians ignore. Quick. Economical. Accurate. What more could one ask? read more

Amazing prices and really great customer service. I took my own vintage frame in and had lenses with anti-reflective coating put in. The turnaround time was about four days. I'm so happy with the experience! read more

The staff was absolutely amazing and can't say enough about how helpful and kind they were to me!! I was in Baltimore on vacation and ran out of contacts and they were so much more open to helping me than any of the other providers in the area. I would highly recommend them to anyone in need of their services!!! Thank you!! read more

The staff is amazing getting my contacts from here. After I he my glasses already they were helpful. First time putting in me lens but the woman there was kind and waiting. Can't wait till I go back. read more

I had a wonderful all around experience here. My prescription has always been tricky to get correct but they did a great job. I had to get bifocals which I knew was coming. They did great. I adjusted to them with a day or two. It's amazing the difference. They helped me pick out frames that I get compliments on all the time. They have a great selection and don't rush you during the time you are choosing them either. Everyone is so professional and kind. I highly recommend them. read more

Came into town to visit daughter. I needed to get contacts since I live out of the country now, I need to get the contacts in the States. Affordable Optics made it super simple with no fuss. They are so nice and I really appreciate their help! read more

This place is amazing!!!!!!!! I just moved to Baltimore and no longer have vision insurance. This place is extremely affordable and the customer service is wonderful!! The staff made me feel right at home. The Dr. was pleasant and knowledgeable. She took time to answer all of my questions AND gave me prescriptions for not only my contacts, but my glasses as well, although I came for only a contact exam. Also, they gave me a MONTH long pair of contacts with solution and case! I paid $65 without insurance!!! The Dr. gave me both prescriptions without hesitation and I went on my way. I will continue to come to this place while I live in the area. I was extremely worried about being able to afford an examination and this place was such a blessing!! Thank you all for your help and keep up the great work! God bless! read more

So happy I found this place. The staff, pricing and efficiency is what makes this place great. My appointment was easily scheduled and the doctor was nice. The front of house staff was helpful in picking out glasses and my frames were ready in a week. Really couldn't have asked for more and I am very happy to support a small, local and black owned business in Baltimore. read more
