UNIVERSITY OPTICIANS, INC.
GAINESVILLE, FLORIDA

Our business was founded on the idea that top quality eyeglasses should be affordable. We hand pick the best quality designer and name brand eyeglasses frames in the industry including the latest fashion designer brands such as Versace, Tory Burch, and Ray-Ban and make them available at 30-40% off retail prices. By hand-picking our frames, we insure the highest quality and keep our inventory fresh with the newest, most durable and comfortable styles. In addition to our quality titanium frames, we carry the highest quality lenses for your comfort, protection, and safety. We are not a one hour eyeglass shop: All our lenses are ground by expert regional laboratories and manufacturers. This ensures you, our customer, only the best quality lenses, coatings, and warranties. University Opticians guarantees 100% accuracy for every pair of glasses that we sell. We also carry a full line of pediatric eyeglass frames, contact lenses, sunglasses, safety glasses, and eyeglasses to serve all of your family’s eye wear needs. No other optical store comes close to offering our level of personal family service and care. We rely on word-of-mouth from satisfied customers as our main advertising, allowing us to keep our overhead low and our uncompromising product quality high. You probably already know a satisfied University Opticians customer! Diane acquired experience in decorating and design in Palm Beach. She brought that background to the optical field when she joined her husband’s practice that served the hi-tech needs at the space center in Cape Canaveral. In 1967, together with her husband, she moved to Gainesville and established University Opticians, where she has continued to introduce innovative optical concepts and products with insight to balance and design. The dispensary has since apprenticed five opticians. She assisted writing the performance objectives and guides of the Florida Vocational-Technical Education Consortium of States, the guideline for optical education and licensing in those eleven states. She is a co-founder of CEDO, an independent continuing education organization now serving eight state optical licensing agencies. Diane has spoken at accredited programs on pediatric optics and lens applications for both CEDO and the University of Florida. Being nationally certified with the American Board of Opticianry (ABOC) and the National Contact Lens Examiners (NCLC), as well as a Florida Board Certified Optician, Diane attends seminars and trade shows regularly. This keeps her in close contact with optical product manufacturers in order to keep a current knowledge in the field, including the latest in frame styling, lens technology, sports eyewear, safety eyewear, and pediatrics.

Before checking out University Opticians, I went to three stores that had lackluster inventory and expensive products! The staff at University Opticians is very knowledgeable and make great suggestions! All the glasses are discounted. Go here, you won’t be disappointed! We fit all major brands of contacts including Acuvue Oasys, Coopervision Biofinity, Bausch & Lomb Purevision, and others.

We carry the best quality lenses and our prices are affordable: you can buy local at the same price as you would online. Give us a call and we’ll be happy to set up an
