Highly, highly recommend.

Without a doubt the level of professionalism and service at Armstrong Optometry is amazing!! The staff is friendly, and Dr. Scharf is caring and thorough. There's a huge selection of frames and the Opticians are so skilled at helping choose the frames that look the best. Better than that - it's a one-stop-shop...I get everything I need here for my eyes - contacts, solution, glasses, sunglasses etc. Makes it super simple.
