Professional Credentials
Find the Perfect Pair of Eyeglasses
Start by standing in front of a mirror and identifying your face shape. Most face shapes fall into one (or a combination) of the following categories: oval, round, square, oblong, heart, base-up triangle, base-down triangle, or diamond. Keep in mind that not every face fits perfectly into one category—this is where expert advice comes in.
Our experienced team at Villages Optical will guide you through the process. We usually recommend choosing frames that complement and contrast your face shape. For example, if you have a round face, angular or rectangular frames can provide balance. On the other hand, softer, rounded frames may better suit a square face to soften the angles.
Finding the right glasses is part science, part style—and we’re here to make it simple. Whether you’re looking for something classic, bold, or minimalist, we’ll help you discover a pair that enhances your natural features and fits your lifestyle.

What Our Customers Are Saying
Barrett BursonGoogle review I can't think of enough positive things to say about my recent experience with dealing this optometrist store location. They all did a phenomenal job in my getting an exam and a new pair of eye glasses. From the exam with Dr. Pieshke to frame selection and fitting with Sherry and Ladonna. They were so accommodating, ...
D LGoogle review Sherry at Villages Optical was wonderful. She helped me replace lenses in a pair of old glasses that I love and purchase new glasses all while navigating my insurance benefits. I would definitely go back to them.
Rob & Kim SantosGoogle review Villages Optical was a great find! My husband and I went in for eye exams and the experience couldn’t have been better. Dr. E and Sherry were fantastic; friendly, professional, and just easy to be around. They actually make getting your eyes checked enjoyable… who knew?”
Kathleen MitchellGoogle review Went to Villages Optical for an eye exam and a pair of glasses. Exam was very detailed and helpful. Very good selection of frames and quick service. Great experience from all staff from Dr. to technicians.
Ronald AshleyGoogle review My first visit at Villages Optical, impressed! Dr. Glenn Pieschke gave me an outstanding exam. Very thorough, carefully explained everything, a real pro. The office is really nice, first class facility, with office staff Sherry and optician LaDonna welcoming and friendly. Did not feel like a first visit. Will go back without a doubt. Thanks all !
Donald SnyderGoogle review I was visiting the area and broke my eyeglass frames. Wasn’t sure they could even be fixed due to the type of frame. Les fixed them for me in 10-15 minutes at no charge. Exceptional service. Highly recommend this business. They make their own lenses on site, too.
