The Best In Eyewear Since 1950
Providing Quality Eyewear From People Who Care
Voted the Best Optical Shop in East Texas for Over 25 Consecutive Years
Voted No. 1 for 25 Years
In September 2026, Ragsdale & Martin Optical was voted the No. 1o overall winner for the Best Eyewear and Best Optometry Office in the Best In Town contest. This marks 25 consecutive years that we've been voted the best optical shop in East Texas. We thank you, East Texas, for trusting us with your vision for 76 years, and we are honored you voted us No. 1 again!
Glasses
Crystal clear vision is not optional, and neither is a great look. We provide only the very best in customer service because we believe finding the right eyewear and seeing clearly should never be difficult.
We also only offer state-of-the-art, digitally precise prescriptions so you can see as well as you look. If you already have a prescription, we will be happy to find you the perfect frame and lenses, and make sure you can see perfectly.
SunGlasses
Seeing clearly outdoors and under bright light is just as important as indoor vision with regular glasses. We offer world-class quality sunglasses from dozens of designer brands you know and others you will be glad to discover.
No matter what type or shape of sunglasses you need, we have a least one pair in stock that will be perfect for you. If you need prescription lenses in your sunglasses, we provide the same state-of-the-art, digitally-precise service as regular glasses. If you already have a frame that you like but need new lenses for better vision, we will put new world-class quality lenses in your existing frames as well.
Mike & Martin Eyewear
As the East Texas leader in eyewear for over 75 years, Ragsdale & Martin launched the exclusive line of Mike & Martin Eyewear in 2016 to create the most durable and comfortable glasses and sunglasses you'll find anywhere, with many of our styles named after local towns, landmarks, and community leaders.
All Mike & Martin Eyewear frames are handcrafted with the highest quality materials, including Italian acetate, Ultralight TR90, stainless steel, and titanium. All of our hundreds of styles feature the best lenses you'll ever experience that come with a no-questions, no-fault, one-year warranty.
Reviews
Ragsdale & Martin has a great selection of frames; but most of all, they are the nicest team to work with in selecting glasses that look good on each individual. They are also helpful to adjust frames whenever it’s needed. Ragsdale & Martin is the only place I buy my glasses!

Eye Exams
Routine eye exams are not only important for seeing crystal clearly, but they're also a critical preventative for a variety of potential health problems. Three of every four Americans wear some sort of vision correction, whether it be eyeglasses or contact lenses. But many people think they don't need glasses or contacts until they put them on for the first time and see what they've been missing!
