Pearle Vision

Have you had your vision checked lately? I had a chance to check out the Pearle Vision Eye Care Center in Glen Burnie, Maryland, and I’m going to walk you guys through the whole fascinating process. My good friend Lisa was kind of enough to go with me {and drive too} to help me pick out some cute new eyeglasses! We hopped in her minivan and headed over to Pearle Vision! Here I am checking in with Jenny. Jenny also works in the frames department and was a huge help with selecting frames – more on that later.

History of Pearle Vision

I learned a bit of History about Pearle Vision while I was there. Did you know that the founder of Pearle Vision was Dr. Stanley Pearle? He founded the company in 1961, with the concept of a one-stop place for total eye care, so that you could get your eye exam and your glasses all in one place! Today there are nearly 600 Pearle Vision Eye Care Centers located all over the U.S. They focus on hiring experienced top quality doctors in order to deliver genuine eye care to their patients. The doctor who examined me was very knowledgeable and patient with me. She listened to my needs {that’s hugely important to me!} and answered all of my questions.

Eye Exam

The exam went smoothly and was painless!

Pearle Vision Frames

Next we headed out to the retail area to pick out some Pearle Vision frames! I tried on lots of glasses! {These are not the ones that I got, you’ll have to wait until later to see that!} Lisa tried on some glasses too! It was interesting to see how what worked for one of us, did not work for the other. Jenny had loads of tips for picking out the right color and shape of frame, depending on your face shape, coloring, etc. She really knew her stuff! It was great to have Lisa there too to weigh in with her opinion, and it made the day even more fun!

On Site Lab

Now, this was a huge surprise to me! Did you know that they have the lab right there on site?!! Here’s Jenny, back in the lab, checking to see if they had my prescription in stock, which they did. So Lisa and I went to lunch and when we came back, my glasses were ready for me to take home! Apparently, in most cases they can do that for you. I can’t tell you how thrilled I was!! Here we are back at my house. We filmed a video of our trip to Pearle Vision, and in this shot we are wrapping up what happened during the day. You’ll be able to see the video at the bottom of this post and then you’ll know why my eyes are popping! It may or may not have to do with a big sale that they had going on, that caused me to get 2 pairs of glasses instead of 1! I’ll reveal both the pairs of glasses that I got in the follow-up post! To wrap up for now though, here’s what I loved about my trip to Pearle Vision in a nutshell. I found it to be amazingly convenient, for these reasons:

• I was able to get an appointment right away
• They emailed me the paperwork in advance, so I could fill it out before I got there
• There was no wait when I got there; my exam started as soon as I entered the center
• The Doctor, and all of the staff, were experienced, knowledgeable and well trained
• I got expert advice on picking out frames
• They made my eyeglasses right there, in about an hour!

All and all it was a great experience. I love my new glasses, and we’ll be using Pearle Vision for all of our family’s eye care needs from now on. Also, Lisa was impressed and will be making an appointment too!

New Glasses Reveal

Back at my house Lisa and I filmed a video discussing the Pearle experience.
I received an eye exam from a top notch doctor, using all the latest equipment. My doctor had quite a few years of experience, she was very patient and explained everything that she was doing as we progressed through the exam. She was also a great listener and answered all my questions! I felt like I was in really good hands! I got to choose from a large selection of frames in the retail section of the EyeCare Center. They had so many pretty frames to choose from! For those of you that are into top designer brands, you will love all the great names like, Tiffany & Co, Dolce & Gabbana, Prada, Coach, etc. I was shocked {and thrilled!} to find out that they had a lab right there and could make my glasses on the spot, while Lisa and I were at lunch! Here I am wearing them already during the check-out process. Such a huge time saver!

Pearle Vision Glasses

Here I am back at home with my new eyeglasses! I can finally see to read again, and to look at my computer. They are very comfortable too. You may remember that I told you, that I would explain in a future post, why my eyes were popping in this photo! Did you guess from the photo above?! It’s because they were running a buy one get one free special! Woohoo!! I was able to get a pair of prescription sunglasses as well. Now I can read on the beach, at the pool, on my patio or wherever! Yay! Lisa and I also made a video about our day, so that you can get the inside scoop on the Pearl Vision experience! You can watch it below… and then afterwards you can call your local Pearle Vision and schedule an appointment!

What is Pearle Vision Glasses Return Policy

They have a no-questions asked return policy on eyewear purchased at their stores for 30 days from purchase date. If you’re not satisfied with your glasses/eyeglasses, just bring them back in their original condition and they’ll make things right. They will adjust them, fix them, exchange them or replace them for you. Easy peasy!
