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.

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.

In 2018, I took my 90 years old father to a routine eye check up. The Doctor there found a problem with him that required urgent surgery in both eyes to don't go blind. Thanks to her my dad's vision is perfect for his age. Great service! đŸŒ¹

Dietz-McLean Optical in San Antonio on Basse Rd... The best Optical experience I ever had. I am from California, visiting my daughter in San Antonio, and have been wearing rimless glasses for a while. No one ever did my rimless round glasses the way I wanted until I met Linda at Dietz-McLean opticals. To me, precise and accurate measurements of my round rimless glasses were of utmost importance and Linda was sharp as a whip who understood my need for precision, accuracy and elegance .She got my rimless glasses done....on time and to the exact measurements on the glasses. .I was so impressed with the quality of their work, I got 3 pairs of rimless glasses done. Linda is an asset to this company to uphold the values of Customer service, profssional atttitude and respect for the customers in listening to their needs , ontime delivery of glasses of exceptional quality and elegance. I would highly recommend Dietz-McLean Opticals for quality glasses - rim or rimless. -Mr Kumar .

I was looking for a particular pair of glasses with no luck. I found this place via Google. I spoke with Linda and she was able to find the glasses for me! Great customer service! I will only buy glasses from here going forward! Thank you, Linda!

Great company going back to my grandfather who was one of the first ophthalmologists in SA (actually the 2nd and they told him he wouldn't make it since there already was 1!). I go to Dietz-McLean for all my glasses needs. Thanks!

The best optical shop bar none. Dietz-McLean goes the extra mile in customer service and producing superb quality eyewear. Linda never gave up on me and after a new prescription my glasses were perfect. I have been a loyal customer for two decades. My prescription is difficult and this is the only optical shop that can fit me.

I've been wearing glasses for close to twenty years and have not had an easier shopping experience for new glasses in that time. Elke was very knowledgeable about my options and I was quickly able to pick a new frame that looks great. Thank you for the great service!
