Dietz-McLean Optical eyeglass design selection

Frames You Won’t Find
Anywhere Else!

As independent opticians, we’re able to source and house an unequaled selection of exceptional eyeglasses, many of which you’d never find at big box stores or less-specialized optical shops. Of course, we also recognize that you may not know your way around our favorite designers as well as we do. That’s why we bring on opticians, who truly love eyewear, to guide you through our collections and help you find eyeglass frames you’ll adore.

We don’t just want you to see better. We want you to look outstanding in glasses that last.

Sunglasses for Every Style

Your eyes need protection from the sun’s harmful UV rays just as much as your skin does, and we have you covered with a large assortment of sunglasses to fit any occasion. We carry a multitude of different styles and builds to help you stay fashionable and protected year-round. And if you want a second opinion, our opticians are happy to help you curate a signature look for fun in the sun.

Our Collection, Curated for You

As family-owned opticians with more than 80 years of experience, we’ve inherited generations of insight that helps our customers find and perfect their next favorite pair of frames. Our team makes navigating our collections — classic to fashion-forward, all-purpose to special occasion, reserved to outlandish — breezy and enjoyable, so you can focus on finding the frames you really love.

Hand-Crafted Children’s Eyewear

Vision quality can affect a child’s performance in academics, sports, and socializing, which is why they need a pair of glasses that will keep up with them in the classroom, on the playground and wherever else their adventures take them. That’s why we’re proud to offer a wide range of stylish and durable kid’s glasses designed with their active lifestyles in mind. Our opticians can guide your child through our large selection of colors and patterns until they find the perfect pair to make them feel confident and excited to wear their glasses every day.

The staff is excellent. Kayla was super helpful. I needed assistance with the temple ends on a vintage pair of Rayban glasses. She replaced them perfectly. She also adjusted them to fit my face better than they were prior. I will return to Dietz-McLean for all of my optical requirements. Thanks Kayla for the top notch service.

I have been a client for many years and have always had great service. I just picked up 5 pair of eye glasses and they fit them well and got the prescription perfectly.
