Katrieia Jones helped my mom and I pick out our glasses today, and I truly can’t say enough good things about her. She went out of her way to help us and was so patient the entire time. She really took the time to make sure we both found frames that looked good and felt right, and we never felt rushed.
What stood out the most was how genuine and kind she was—you can tell she really cares about helping people, not just making a sale. She made the whole experience feel easy and enjoyable.
We’re both really happy with what we chose, all thanks to her. Definitely a 5-star experience!

I had an excellent experience at Peepers Eye-care Center! Dr. Lee and Mr. Kenny were very helpful and knowledgeable as we looked into glasses for my son. They made our experience very helpful and comfortable. I highly recommend Peepers Eye-care center in Bowie, MD. to anyone looking for professional and friendly service.

Tiera was so patient with me during my first time at the Bowie location. I was looking for a green frame and she exhausted all possible options in the store until I found what I wanted!!! Superb customer service and greatly appreciated. I’ll be back with my daughter.

Kenny Sutton was very professional and really tired to get me out my comfort zone with looking at colored frames. We ended with a compromise. I kept my love for black frames but added the amber color tint for my transition color.

Tierra was amazing when consulting me on my frames. I purchased 3 pairs of frames and feel more confident about wearing my glasses now than I have in the past
Overall experience anytime coming into the Bowie location is 5 stars. Easy processing and knowledgeable staff! I appreciate the customer service as always.
Until next time!
Frequently Asked Questions About Peepers Eyecare Center
Do you take my insurance?
We are able to look up your insurance to find out if we are in your network. We take most major insurances for our eye doctors’ services, but we recommend calling us ahead of time so we can verify for you.
Do you do kids' eye exams?
Yes, we do! Our eye doctors can give children eye exams starting at age 5.
Do you have any same-day specials or current promotions?
Yes! We have multiple promotions as well as same-day glasses services!
- $89 complete same-day frame and polycarbonate anti-glare lens special
- $39 custom-made blue light-blocking glasses with magnification Rx
- 30% OFF a designer pair of glasses

Can I update the prescription in my existing frames?
Yes, you can! We have state-of-the-art equipment that will measure your existing frames so you can keep your glasses until the new lenses arrive. Schedule an appointment with an eye doctor today to get an updated prescription.
How often should I see an eye doctor?
The American Optometric Association recommends annual eye exams with an eye doctor to keep your prescription up-to-date. However, if you experience any sudden vision changes, do not hesitate to call us and schedule an appointment.
How do I know when my glasses or contacts are ready?
You can easily text any of our 3 locations for a quick update on your glasses or contacts. You can also call or email us. Once the order is ready, you’ll receive a call or text. Get in touch with us today to schedule an appointment with one of our eye doctors!
What's the difference between an ophthalmologist and an optometrist?
While both are eye doctors, they have different responsibilities. An optometrist will check the overall health of the eye and determine if glasses are needed. If we determine that medical procedures are needed, or if there’s a medical concern, we refer the patient to an ophthalmologist.
Are all ophthalmic lenses the same?
Lens technologies are very different. Our expert opticians utilize the latest technology to measure and fit our patients with Shamir lenses. Our patients have much better success adapting to their prescriptions than with other lens types, specifically progressive lenses.
Shamir lenses ReCreate Perfect Vision™ by offering the most advanced technological lens solution available to the marketplace at any given time, delivering unparalleled customer service, and the latest technology and state-of-the-art equipment such as the Shamir Spark Mi Up (that we have at each of our locations).
