What Our Customers Have to Say

Dr. Klaahsen is professional and straightforward. She thinks about preventative care and about how to ease patients into new prescriptions. The General Optical staff is absolutely the best, bar none. From Ron and Leslie to Dianne, Paul and Carla, they all provide the best service whether selecting new glasses or servicing old ones. I cannot recommend General Optical enough.

Mary Lou DCustomer

I trust General Optical. They always go the extra mile to make sure I’m happy with my purchase. They take the time to get to know their clients and provide top-notch customer service.

Joanne RCustomer

Excellent visit. I had a through examination from Dr. Klaahsen who provided me with excellent options, followed by a fine fitting for new glasses with the staff in the front of the house. I have been going to them for well over 20 years and have never had a bad experience.

Nicholas GCustomer

General Optical is a small, family-owned business that provides the kind of old-fashioned service that’s hard to find anymore. They are warm, friendly, and extremely knowledgeable about their products, which they stand behind 100%. We highly recommend this business.
