This past winter, I bought two pair of glasses and some contact lens at the America’s Best on Howell Mill in northwest Atlanta. It was my first time at that location.

What you’re about to read is a review of how my experience was overall and whether I’d recommend it for another person.

America’s Best Howell Mill: How It Went For Me

If you’ve ever been to an America’s Best, you know how the setup is: Once you walk in, there are frames and glasses on both sides of the store.

America’s Best has several varieties of eyeglasses, but their main categories are:

• Women’s Glasses 
• Men’s Glasses
• Kids’ Glasses
• Sunglasses

What Types Of Insurance Does America’s Best Accept?

America’s Best accepts most insurance, including the following:

I made an appointment with the eye doctor and had to sit in the waiting room on the opposite side of the store. But before that happened, I had to pick out some frames.

For my main frames, I was going for some standard black rims that would make me look studious and sophisticated. I settled on some spicy specs of the “Brooke” variety.

The prices ranged from $59.95 to $179.95.

Because i”m cheap, I picked out my first pair for $69.95. For my second pair, which were some tortoise shells, I shelled out $59.95.

Once I had chosen my glasses, it was time to see the doctor. Like I mentioned earlier, this required quite a bit of waiting. For some reason, the eye doctor was backed up so it took her more than 20 minutes to get to me.

Once I was in her chair, my exam was harmless and expedient. She carefully answered all my questions and gave me three pairs of sample contact lenses that she wanted me to try.

Since it’s only been two weeks ago, I will try to make it back into the store to make my final selection on contact lenses.
