Voorthuis Opticians was established thirty years ago, and today there are seven locations in Washington DC, Maryland and Virginia.

Voorthuis proudly displays a wide selection of designer, traditional and innovative eyewear for your prescription and sunglass use. Voorthuis is distinguished from the competition by stocking a large inventory of the very best eyeglass frames, by the elite Voorthuis staff, and by their top-notch laboratory.

At all seven locations you will find many examples in stock of the best frames. Choose from frames crafted of materials including stainless steel and titanium. There is ample supply of the very finest sunglasses. Many opticians and eyeglass stores only stock a few examples of your favorite designer, but not Voorthuis.

The Voorthuis family still runs the company with the same professionalism and high degree of customer service that has been their hallmark since 1973. The staff here does not change often like in the chain stores, so you can be certain that you will have experienced, professionally trained assistance….and when you return in the future a familiar face will greet you.

The main laboratory (pictured here) contains the most modern and cutting edge equipment and is staffed by skilled technicians. This combination results in a superior lens custom crafted for your eyewear. The highest quality lenses are used including Zeiss, Varilux and Pentax. One specialty is the high-index lens, so that a pair of eyeglasses can be very thin and lightweight.

Each Voorthuis location has a fully equipped examination room for the
on-site optometrist to perform eye examinations and contact lens fittings.
