I had my first appointment at Peepers in Bowie last week and it was the best experience I’ve ever had getting new glasses and contacts. In 40 years of going to the eye doctor and purchasing glass the team at the Bowie location is top notch. From the friendly and helpful ladies at the front counter to Dr. Lee and Kenny, my glasses tech.
Dr. Lee not only gave me a solid exam and great advice, but I also felt he really had my best interest in mind and has a passion to help people with their vision needs. I then worked with Kenny to pick out my glasses. He was very knowledgeable about all the options I was interested in as well as adding value by suggesting additional options and benefits. He helped me pick out a stylish set of glasses and I am excited about their arrival. Kenny was professional yet chill and easy to work with. I would recommend Peepers in Bowie to friends and family.

I was a new patient with a made appointment. I was there primarily for vision check for driver license renewal but had some additional checks done since it has been a while for an eye checkup. It went very well and in order of seeing, would like to thank Natalie, Dr Stephanie Carnell and Kenny for great service and time!

I had an amazing experience at Peepers Eye Care Center and honestly, the entire visit exceeded my expectations from start to finish. The office was spotless, organized, and had such a welcoming atmosphere. Everyone there was kind and professional, and I immediately felt comfortable the moment I walked in.
I especially want to give a huge shoutout to Kenny Sutton. Kenny made the entire experience feel personalized and enjoyable. I came in looking for new glasses and was honestly blown away by the selection of frames they had available. He took the time to understand my preferences, gave thoughtful recommendations based on my face shape, and helped me explore styles I normally would not have considered.
In the past, I usually stuck with the same type of glasses and never put much thought into investing in quality designer frames. Kenny completely changed that experience for me. He narrowed things down to several incredible options that genuinely suited me so well that choosing just one pair became difficult. That has never happened to me before.
I ended up finding frames that I am genuinely excited to wear every day, especially for my upcoming graduation. I can honestly say this is the first time I have ever been excited about glasses.
Kenny went above and beyond throughout the entire process. He was welcoming, patient, down-to-earth, and truly cared about helping me find the right fit instead of just making a sale. If you visit Peepers, ask for Kenny. He is absolutely your guy.
Highly recommend this location, and I will definitely be coming back again!

My family and I had a wonderful experience at Peepers, and I want to give a special thank you to Sara for her exceptional help. Choosing the right glasses can feel overwhelming, but Sara made the entire process smooth, easy, and even enjoyable.
She was incredibly attentive and took the time to understand what we were looking for, both in terms of style and comfort. Her knowledge really showed as she guided us through different options, offering thoughtful suggestions without ever being pushy. She paid close attention to detail, making sure the fit was just right and that we felt confident in our choice.
What stood out most was her genuine care and patience. She went above and beyond to make sure we were happy, and her friendly, approachable demeanor made all the difference.
Sara truly made this experience a great one, and Peepers is lucky to have her. I highly recommend working with her if you’re looking for new glasses, you’ll be well taken care of!
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
- 40% OFF a second pair of glasses, sunglasses, or computer eyewear
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).
