EYE CARE SERVICES IN WEST DES MOINES
From thorough eye exams, a broad selection of frames and specialized lenses, and a variety of contact lens brands and types, One Hour Optical is your convenient choice for quality eye care.
Comprehensive Eye Exams
Whether you’re coming to us for an annual eye exam or with a concern about your eye health, we have you covered. During our comprehensive eye exams in West Des Moines, Dr. Powell will assess your vision and generate a precise vision prescription. He’ll also evaluate the overall health of your eyes to screen for signs of any conditions that could potentially affect your sight.
Affordable Glasses
At One Hour Optical, we’re not just known for our fantastic selection of quality frames at any budget, but for our lens options too. We carry single vision, bifocal, trifocal, and progressive lenses. We can fit you in any pair of frames you’d like and tailor your lenses to your specific vision prescription. And, with our in-house lab, we’re able to produce glasses in as little as one hour for customers with more urgent needs.
Contact Lenses
Specialized contact lens exams are necessary because contacts sit directly on your eyes instead of just in front of them, meaning that your contact lens prescription will be slightly different than your glasses. If contact lenses are more suited to your lifestyle, we provide thorough exams to ensure that we can match you with lenses that provide clear, convenient, and comfortable vision.
Proudly Serving Des Moines
We’re proud to serve West Des Moines, surrounding communities and neighborhoods, including Waukee, Granger, Cumming, Norwalk, Booneville, De Soto, Van Meter, Dallas Center, Urbandale, and Adel.
Des Moines has so much to offer, and whether you’re exploring Raccoon River Park or learning about local history at Living History Farms & Museum, we want to make sure you do it all with clear vision, healthy eyes, and affordable glasses that show off your personal style.
