Voorthuis Opticians was established thirty six 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.
In 2009, Voorthuis Opticians was honored to be named one of the “Top 50 U.S. Optical Retailers” by Vision Monday magazine.
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 have 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 and professionally trained assistance… and when you return in the future a familiar face will greet you.
Voorthuis uses the most modern equipped laboratory containing cutting edge equipment and 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.
