Carr & Busch Opticians

Every five star review here is totally on point. I have bought frames/​lenses from them three times in the last ten years. They listen to you, they give you their expert advice, and they make you happy. Never pressure. Always willing to make adjustments as needed. Don’t recommend the fanciest, priciest stuff if you don’t need it (unlike many other opticians in the DC area).
This place is as close to a guarantee as you are going to get.

I just dropped in and asked if they would tighten the screws on my glasses. Even though I didn’t buy the glasses there, the gentleman behind the desk was super kind and glad to help. Folks like that make the world a better place.

I walked in to get my glasses adjusted, and Mark was extremely professional and helpful in getting them just right. I also took some time to look at their selection of eyeglasses and sunglasses. I’ll definitely stop in again once my current glasses need to be replaced (all plastic frames eventually get to a point where they warp and go off balance in a way that just can’t be adjusted. Watch out for that moment and don’t be that gal or guy walking around with perpetually crooked glasses!) I highly recommend you stop in Carr & Busch when that moment comes!

Best personal service you will ever receive! Great selection and very knowledgable with eyewear fitting you perfectly. Marc and Erich, the Busch brothers have been the only ones I trust to go to.

Fabulous service! Recommended by my doctor as the best place to get glasses and I agree.
They didn’t have the color of the frames I wanted in the store I wanted so they showed me the options on the computer and told me they would change the frames if I didn’t like the color I chose when they came in. Luckily for all concerned, I loved them.
My glasses were priced LESS here than the discount stores.

I have turned to them for the past 25 years. They’ve NEVER disappointed me! They have a fine selection of eyeglasses, and they’re very fastidious about measuring and making sure I have the perfect fit. Plus they’re friendly and always remember me! (a rarity in businesses these days)

Simply tops. Best anywhere. Nice, too.

Excellent glasses, with a knowledge of quality production, and products that are extremely hard to find now.

I visited Carr & Busch recently on a friend’s recommendation and wasn’t disappointed in the least. The Busch brothers, Erich & Marc, run a great little business a few blocks south of the Dupont metro on 19^th street. On the walls are the famous politicians, journalists and other Washingtonian big-​wig customers from the olden days. The shop is small; here you wont find the choice of a Lenscrafters or Four Eyes. But you’ll find some beautiful frames and great service, and that’s what counts. It was my first time visiting and I’m un-​insured for eye-​care, so was given a 15% discount which I really appreciated (my coupon can be used repeatedly, yay). The only reason for 4 stars & not 5 is because I had to wait a bit (almost 2 weeks) for my glasses and wish they had a larger frame choice for ladies… I’m already looking forward to my next glasses shopping trip!
