I purchased my prescription glacier glasses from Opticus. The company is very capable and helpful over the phone. I had test frames sent, so that I could select a frame that fit me well, and I couldn't be more pleased with the result!

I have been buying glasses from Opticus since 2010. I visited the office the first time only and have done business via email and telephone ever since. They provide a great product and have never disappointed me. 10/10 recommend. Definitely worth the investment.

I got a pair of prescription glacier glasses from these guys. They have an at home try-on program which allows you to test all the frame prior to purchasing. I was most impressed by their customer service. Some of the best customer support and service I have EVER received at any company. Would purchase from them again in a heartbeat

This is my second time getting prescription glacier glasses through Opticus. I sent in my old frames for a lens update and then they threw in new frames for free because the old ones were pretty beat up. I have been very happy with their responsiveness on email and as someone with very bad eyes and a small face, I'm happy to have found a place that can meet my rather unique needs.

Opticus has always given great service, with quick turnarounds and excellent prices. I've purchased prescription glacier goggles and prescription inserts for ski goggles, and recommend them to my hiking and climbing partners every chance I get.

Just got a new pair of prescription glacier glasses, extreme altitude, with my old pair of Ventura frames. My experience with Opticus has been excellent with superb quality workmanship and prompt turnaround. I am very happy with the McKinley Photochromic which works well in overcast as well as very bright light on snow or out on the water. I use these glasses for all my mountaineering activities. They were actually able to do an all grey lense with blue base on request, which is not listed as an option on their web site, but I prefer to the amber pigment base I got some years ago. Totally personal taste whether one likes the tint more towards cool/blue base or warm/amber base. I'm sure whatever one gets they won't be disappointed.

High quality prescription sunglasses for use on high altitude glaciers of The Rawls Course at Texas Tech. This isn't Lens Crafters these are people that know what they're doing and will work with you to get what you want. I got my first pair here 20 years ago, and picked up my latest pair yesterday. Will return.

Lynn was extremely helpful in allowing me to come by and try frames (I'm local to the store), explaining the pros and cons of various tint options, and working with me to get glasses that worked for my application (hiking and backpacking, in my case). When my original frames had a problem with the glasses strap attachment point (it sat poorly on my head, causing irritation), Opticus replaced them for me promptly at no charge and gave me a different strap system to use. Absolutely great customer service. Good glasses too!

Ordered a pair of Julbo Micropores with my Rx a couple years ago, and the customer service was fantastic. Lynne was very helpful from answering any questions I had to helping complete my purchase. Shipping was very fast and those babies have saved my eyes loads of times. Especially during the winter.
Just recently I needed to replace my side shields, and funny enough Opticus carried the side shields I needed, were-as the actual Julbo website carried none. Talked with Fred (I think, sorry if it's not) and got them ordered. Very friendly sounding guy and polite, but also just down to business. Boom, bam, done.
I'd rate' em higher than 5 stars, but that's the limit. Great company, and awesome people. Thanks!

Opticus is actually located in Lyons, Colorado, now. I found them while walking down Main Street one day. They offer locals prescription glasses and frames in their store (I recently got new lenses for my old pair of glasses), and they've been making really awesome sunglasses and high prescription lenses for decades. You can get lenses put in the sunglasses they offer, Julbo and their own line, Altice Optics, or you can bring your own sunglasses in and get lenses put in. They have specialized in doing very difficult prescriptions for glacier glasses for mountaineers, but they recently started doing a lot more multisport sunglasses. I got a cool, sexy pair of Altice Ventures to wear snowboarding and fishing. Super psyched!
