We want you to get the care you deserve.

Quality Eyeglasses, Affordable Prices

Our business was founded on the idea that top quality eyeglasses should be affordable. We hand pick the best quality designer and name brand frames in the industry and make them available at 30-40% off retail prices every day.

Serving Gainesville since 1967

As a family owned business running for over 55 years, we pride ourselves in providing the best care to our patients possible. We also aim to provide a comfortable and inviting setting, reinventing the optical care experience for all.

Our services

Eyeglasses

We have frames to fit all budgets and life stages from the latest fashion designer brands such as Versace, Tory Burch, and Ray-Ban with state-of-the-art lenses all the way to value products starting at $75.00 for a complete set of glasses. In addition, we also carry a full line of safety glasses to help keep your eyes safe while you engage in work or play.

Contact Lenses

We fit all major brands of contacts including Acuvue Oasys, Coopervision Biofinity, Bausch & Lomb Purevision, and others. Our eye physicians select the type of contact best suited to correct your particular vision problems, rather than lenses that are prescribed by a company designed for high volume corporate profits.

Sunglasses

We carry a wide variety of sunglasses in order to best protect your eyes, both non-prescription and prescription. Brands include Ray-Ban, Costa Del Mar, Vogue, Versace and more. We also carry a wide selection of polarized lenses to help with sports and fishing.

Eye Exams

Comprehensive Eye Exam | $69
Contacts Lens Exam | $119
Contacts for Astigmatism | $139

All contact exams also include a full health check of the eye and an eyeglass prescription.

  • “I read the reviews, listened to a friend's experience - and I'm delighted I chose University Opticians. From first phone contact through my exam and then purchase of glasses, I felt so well cared for. A far cry from an impersonal mall optical experience!”

  • “I highly recommend those who wanna take an elaborate eye exam to come here. The doctor is very patient and professional. He taught me how to protect my eyes and I also learned some professional knowledge about the eyes. The other staff is very friendly as well. Really appreciate it!”

  • “Highly efficient, very polite, and fair prices. I had previously gone to another optician to get my glasses repaired and they told me it wasn’t worth repairing. I came to this shop and they repaired it 15 minutes at a price of $25. They are family owned and respectful. I would fully recommend this shop to anyone looking to repair or buy glasses!”

  • "Kind. Caring. Thorough. These are just a few words that describe the atmosphere here. I feel as though the goal here is to make sure the client is well taken care of and understands the process. I will always come back here and they have a great selection of glasses that are name brand and trendy!"

  • "Absolutely LOVE everyone here. If you want eye care, eye exams, glasses/contact maintenance with a provider that cares about their customers/patients then this the place for you. It has that feeling of a hometown eye doctor who knows you every time you walk through the door. Not only am I a patient but so are ALL my kids!"

  • "This is the best eye glass store in Gainesville. Before checking out University Optitions, I went to three stores that had lackluster inventory and expensive products! The staff at University Optitions is very knowledgeable and make great suggestions!! All the glasses are discounted. Go here, you won't be disappointed!!!"
