We provide quality, expertly made eyewear with passion and great service.

Welcome to Apex Optical

Apex Optical has been serving the Washington, DC metro area since 1977 with a simple mission—ensure your glasses fit right, look good, improve your vision, and have the proper prescription.

When you enter an Apex Optical store, you get more than great eyewear. You get peace of mind. Our job isn’t done until you like the way your frames look, and more importantly, fit. After all, what good are glasses that keep slipping down your face or leave painful marks behind your ears because they’re too tight?

So, how do we accomplish this winning combination of prescription, fit and look in every pair of glasses we sell? We work with you.

We at Apex: 

At Apex Optical, we do what it takes to ensure your eyewear is as effective as it can be. Even if you purchased your glasses somewhere else and are having issues, we’re still more than happy to help. We use the same process we do if you bought your glasses at one of our stores. Our team of experts can also find the core of any issue and work with you and if need your doctors to resolve it.

What our customers are saying

We’re proud of the work we’ve done for our customers, but don’t just take our word for it. Check out some of the reviews our clients have given Apex Optical:

I have been going to Apex since I was in grade school. Ricky and the crew there have been nothing but the best. Now, I'm 28 and I still can't find a glasses shop better than Apex. At Apex, it feels like family. I'll keep coming back.

The trick of a good optician is not only the stock they have but the personable nature of their service. For that you need caring professionals, people that make it a place where ‘They know your name.’ This is what I have found, specifically from Blanca, always attentive but most of all, good at what she does.
