Specialties Visual Effects Optical is a fashion forward eyegla History Established in 1989. Visual Effects Optical was born out of Dr. Chet Steinmetz's desire to have his own business.

Dr Steinmetz suggested the PERFECT glasses for me! I love my new glasses. He has a knack for finding the right shape and color that is perfect for your face. His assortment of frames is second to none, I had so many options to choose from. Dr Steinmetz took time at my eye exam explaining everything. My new glasses came in quick and the ladies at the front desk were friendly, helpful and efficient. What a great experience!

My husband and I have been going to Dr. Steinmetz for almost 15 years. If you are seeking the perfect frames, please don't waste your time with other vendors. Dr. S knows what's on-trend in finishes and shapes, and carefully explains what to look for in a good fit. He often picks the perfect frame on the first try. (You'll then try on another 20 pairs, only to realize that he was right all along.) I hadn't been in for quite a few years, and when I returned I was pleasantly surprised that he remembered me. You won't regret go... read more
