Specs Around Town...

Beginning in 1998 Specs Around Town brought optical services and eyewear to their clients at home, the workplace or wherever a client requested. Julie's bright blue Volkswagen beetle sporting her BUGEYZ4 license plate quickly became a distinct and conspicuous part of the Bloomington-Normal landscape. Opening an eyewear boutique has been a continuing dream for Julie...

Personal Appointments

I just had my eye exam, but I do not have my prescription. "How can I get my glasses from Specs Around Town?" Call your doctor and ask for a copy! The FTC regulates the release of prescriptions. The prescription release rule mandates the release of prescription to the patient and prohibits disclaimers or extra fees for the prescription. Then it is up to you to decide who you would like to fill your prescription. If you would like Specs Around Town can call your doctor and request a copy of your prescription for you!

Insurance Coverage

I have vision insurance- can I get my new eyewear from Specs Around Town?
If your insurance provider allows you to get services from the Optical provider of your choice, you can definitely get your glasses from Specs Around Town. We do require payment in full and then your insurance will reimburse you. Get the eyewear you really want from the Optical Boutique of your choice!

Something else to consider:
Does your employer offer flexible spending plan or medical expense reimbursement (MER)?
