Eye glass frames & Lenses...
 

Any recommendations of a place with a good selection? I have the prescription. I'd go as far as Concord if the selection was of excellent quality.

I'm in Meredith.

As always...Thanks in advance for any advice...

Try Laconia Eye. 603-524-2020

Stay away from Walmart in Gilford. My progressive lenses have never been right, and they wouldn’t stand behind them…said I needed to get used to them. Fast forward one year later…still not right.

Zenni.com
 

On line eye glass provider Zenni.com. great prices and huge selection. About 25% of local eye glasses store prices. You can upload your picture (face) and try on pairs virtually. Shippwd in about a week.

Too bad there isn’t a Costco in the area. Great prices & a 30 day warranty.

Absolutely! You can't beat the Costco price, selection and quality.

In fact it takes about 1.5 to 1.75 hours to drive to their Nashua Store and I find it is very worthwhile to make that drive. I drove down there a couple of weeks ago to pick up a new set of glasses that cost me about $200.

Note; I am a member. If you are not a member then you won't be able to use Costco.

For what it's worth, I gave up using those overpriced eye glass stores years ago (including the ones in the Doctors offices). I found the mark ups to be unreasonably HUGE and a big ripoff of my hard earned money.

Agree that Laconia Eye is the best around. Huge selection and wonderful people.

Thanks all. I'll LOOK into all of these suggestions.

There is a new local eye glass business on RT25 in Moultonborough right across the street from th Bob House. I have not used them but neighbors have and have been very pleased. Might be worth a stop since they are close to Meredith.

My wife recently got new progressive lenses and frame at Laconia Eye. She is very pleased with the result.

I get only distance lenses, not progressive. I have always had good results at the Gilford Walmart including a pair that I picked up yesterday.

Hey there bunky..... :cool: ..... all you need ..... www.harborfreight.com/search?q=eyewear ...... to know about designer eye glasses in Gilford and Laconia, NH.

I just ordered sunglasses from Costco today. While the auto was getting new tires. Just noticed a sticker on the windshield that the tires are nitrogen filled.
Meaning I cannot regulate the pressure. Hmm.
So far i love the new tires.

You can add ambient air or release some of the nitrogen.

It would be great to have a Costco in the area but I am not sure the year round population would be sufficient to support it. I have bought glasses and almost everything else, from groceries to gasoline, at the Costco in Florida that is about 3 miles from my house. Great prices.

Currently, the only one in New Hampshire is in Nashua but could change as Costco is working on a potential new store location in Portsmouth at the Steeplegate Mall site.

I didn't know there was a Steeplegate Mall in Portsmouth. Do you mean Concord? But I think that's pretty much dead.

Newington Mall?
 

Many think that is in Portsmouth...

Eyeglass recommendation
 

I just picked up a new pair of glasses today at the optical shop associated with Laconia Eye and Laser Center, near Piche's Ski & Sport Shop.

The selection is very good, the service first-rate.
