My fiancé had broken her only pair of glasses and we only have days left before we leave the country to get married. I had asked the owner if there was any way to replace both legs for now until after we get back into town. He said he could, but the design of the these glasses were poor and they may brake again. His recommendation was to replace the frame to something more durable since my fiancé tends to break glasses often. He looked all over his shop to find a nice frame that may fit the original lenses because getting new lenses for the specific script she has would take a week and a half. During this time him, his wife and I chatted up until he handed me a case with new glasses. I was shocked he was able to save the lenses and get the job done so quick! I asked how much? He said it's a wedding present.. I nearly cried.. shook his hand and his wife's.. and thanked them again, but it still doesn't feel enough. Thank you again Clinton and Kelly! You've touched my heart with kindness in a way I haven't felt since I was kid. A merry wedding present indeed. I'll see you two in May for my own pair of glasses once I get my script :) Highly Recommended. Come and Support this Local Family Owned Business. read more

I had an outstanding experience with Davalt Optical. I live in Chile and needed to get new glasses for my old frames while visiting FL. I had a very limited window to get them made before returning to Chile. They went out of their way to assure a speedy turnaround. The complication was that i wanted progressive office glasses, however my prescription was not correct for progressives. Although not the fault of Davalt Optical, Kelly offered to remake them with a new prescription, if i never got used to them upon return to Chile. She even followed through with a phone call to find out how i was doing with them. She reiterated her offer to remake them at no additional charge. She asked when i would be returning to FL to which i said by the end of the year, however in reality, I was unable to return until the middle of February. Kelly assured me that would not be a problem. I brought my old frames to them and a week later she called telling me my new glasses were ready. I went to pick them up a couple days later on Friday. I did not realize they closed early on Friday, but when i called, they told me they would stay late waiting for my arrival. This is the kind of customer service that is sorely lacking these days. Ohh I almost forgot to say, the new glasses were perfect. I highly recommend Devalt Optical. They do great work, are super professional, very nice people and offer customer service like no other optical service ive ever experienced before. I give them the highest rating possible read more

I walked into Davalt Optical a year ago. The array of fun, colorful glasses along with the classic styles is amazing. I've purchased two high end glasses - and the fit, correction, price and styling recommendations were outstanding. And best of all, Kelly and Clinton went above and beyond to exceed my expectations. I highly recommend them as your go-to eyeglass store! And, they are in 5 Points, so great place to walk around and do other shopping, dining and more. read more

Davalt Optical - Glasses for in every style and color. - Eyewear & Opticians Near Me - Jacksonville, Florida

I met the owner of Davalt Optical, Clinton, at my old ophthalmologist's office where he was an expert at preparing my new eyeglasses. Later, I saw him walking in 5 Points (Jacksonville, FL) and I learned that Clinton left his job and he and his wife Kelly had purchased Davalt Optical that was in business at least since 1990. He stunned me when I approached him in early January 2022 with a special request: Add a missing nose guard of the glasses worn by my friend's granddaughter. Clinton replaced the missing guard in addition to the existing one AND EVEN tightened the frame and cleaned the lenses AT NO CHARGE. WOW, what an incredible example of exceptional customer service, going above and beyond my expectation! The young lady was THRILLED that her glasses no longer hurt her nose and she could see clearer in frames that were not crooked on her face!! In late 2021, I had outdated sunglasses lenses from the mid-90s that needed to be replaced with a new pair with my newest lens prescription and wide sides to help block annoying bright light without losing my peripheral vision. He found something perfect: Affordable sunglasses with a wide dark gray plastic shield attached to the sides of the frame. And he provided two additional spare pairs of shields, one tinted and the other clear, in case there of damage to the existing pair. THANK YOU, Clinton and Kelly Ross, for being my best optician ever! I highly recommend Davalt Optical to any and all in need of a pair of eyeglasses. read more

The best optical experience available in Jacksonville! Clinton and Kelly are so helpful and kind, they are the best!

Great selection, friendly staff. Using proper sanitary precautions during this pandemic.

I'd HIGHLY recommend Davalt Optical for color blind vision correction lenses/glasses. Clinton and Kelly Ross exceeded my expectations of providing me with optimal fit, correction, price, and style. With my Pilestone sport sunglasses for color blind correction, my vision is now outstandingly enhanced. Because of their superior service, I am now able to see a spectrum of colors! Davalt is KEY!

Had SUCH a fabulous experience here. Drove my grandma over with her prescription for lenses to get new glasses for her. This is a wonderful family-owned business and the owner/optician is fantastic! She listened thoroughly to my grandma's concerns about frames and also progressive lenses. She was very informative and helpful and ultimately helped my grandma choose the best frames and lenses in a very efficient manner. She even offered to tint an old pair of my grandma's glasses into sunglasses for $15. Sweet. Rarely does a professional stand out in my mind so strongly. Would highly recommend this place! read more

Patty Davalt is absolutely, hands-down, the best Optician I've ever been to. She gives 100% of her attention to your needs when visiting the store and she even took a house-call for me once. I will be a customer as long as she is in business! read more
