Sharing our passion with you.
At Arlington Optical, we’ve been serving the eyewear needs of our friends in Central Ohio and beyond for more than 30 years. We love what we do, and we’re excited to share our passion with the people who live and work in this awesome community. Whether you’re on the job, kicking back at home, or out and about, our goal is to offer eyewear choices that ensure you capture every moment of every day.
The art of the frame. The science of optics.
At Arlington Optical, our art-and-science approach to optics takes a serious look at what really matters when you’re selecting a pair of eyeglasses. Our ABO licensed opticians understand that you want eyewear with a comfortable fit and head-turning style. That’s why we’re committed to bringing you a great visual experience that delivers all that and more – before, during and after your purchase. So tell us what you need, and we promise to listen. In the end, we want what you want: eyewear that matches your features, style and budget.
At Arlington Optical, we love being first – first in the market, first in the latest technology, and first in outstanding customer service.
“When you demand the best of the best, this is your destination. The best opticians. The best materials. The best fabrication. And of course, the best selection of premium frames. Discover the latest designs in Europe … once you’ve experienced glasses that are precision fit to your vision along with a frame that truly complements your face, you’ll never consider anything else.”
“Literally, the only place I’ve purchased eyewear for the last twenty or more years. Stellar experiences every time — as a confessed eyewear hoarder, there are a lot of times — with every single person who works there.”
“They protected me from myself, that’s why. All of their carefully curated frames are displayed around the place in closed glass cases. They assign you a consultant who looks around with you, listens to your opinions, asks you questions, then you sit down and they bring you frames. They give you honest opinions about how you look … I normally try on 10,000 frames when I walk into a frame store and none of them look good and it’s overwhelming, then I just leave without buying anything. I like your style, AO OH!”
“Outstanding company! Customer service is phenomenal!… Avoid the chains! Arlington Optical is a solid organization!”
“I was first attracted to Arlington Optical because of their wide selection of unique and creative frames… But what keeps me coming back is their customer service.”
“Absolutely 5-star service from the moment I walked in. Eye exam was relaxed and through and the frames selection is phenomenal. Experienced and knowledgable opticians assisted me with my selection. And best of all…I picked up my new glasses 7 days later. Arlington Optical Lane Ave. is my go-to from here on!”
“This operation is the luxury line of optical centers. Besides providing the right kind of lens’, inquire about ANY brand & style, and they will not disappoint.”
“Still returning to Arlington Optical for 23 years. Great staff, service, and products. Always.”
“It feels so good walking into this shop. Attentive smiling faces. Dr. Humphrey is very comfortable to work with. I am always happy when I leave.”
“Our family has had experience with the $99 Internet glasses. They were totally unsatisfactory. You get what you pay for. For many people, glasses are a fashion statement and an expression of yourself. With the help of the associates, you will find something that can make strangers say WOW.”
“When you demand the best of the best, this is your destination. The best opticians. The best materials. The best fabrication.”
