Excellence

This speaks to Dr. Krymis’ legacy through his meticulous attention to detail and concern for the health of his patients. We strive to behave and perform our services with nothing less than excellence, which is evidenced by our products and our service.

Kind words from our patients:

The staff was polite and service was fast as well as efficient. I’m definitely happy and will be back!

Ryan Quick

Great service!!! Quick appointment time and very attentive staff. Dr took time with my son to make him feel comfortable and helped find the right glasses for him.

Cherie Gilfillan

I have been a client at August Optical for years!! I love the family owned local business aspect and the great service I’ve always gotten there. One of the few places in Kalamazoo that take almost any insurance, whether it be VSP, Eyemed or Medicaid. Amazing selection of frames- even locally made wooden frames that you can’t find anywhere else!!!

In-House Lab

Our in-house lab has been at the heart of our business since Dr. Krymis founded August Optical, where he would cut lenses after seeing patients all day. That kind of work ethic and commitment to getting your lenses just right is what still drives us today. Your lenses are customized right here in our office by our amazing lab technician, John. John has been with us for 12 years and his extensive expertise and knowledge continue to impress us!

At August Optical we also believe in collaboration in order to consistently learn, grow, and provide the best customer service and options to our patients. In an effort achieve this, we partner with a local lens company to special order some lenses. Having a partner allows us to provide you with the most options and the latest technology and customization for your lenses. And, with our professional staff, every set of lenses is checked to make sure they live up to our standard of perfection.

We also triple check every order! Dr. Krymis and John check every order to verify them and our opticians give it one last check when they dispense them to you. If it isn’t just right, we happily remake it! We know that we live in a fast-paced world where instant lenses may seem like an attractive proposition, but we know the science, chemistry, and detailed perfection that is required to provide quality vision for you. Our two-week turnaround is based on quality and perfection, with the goal of bringing the world into focus for you. Come say “hi” and look for John who can be found in his white lab coat helping patients with their lens and glasses issues.
