Serving Macon
Macon has no shortage of places to get an eye exam, from mall chains on Riverside Drive and Bass Road to the big hospital systems. What it is short on is honest pricing. Chain exams in Macon are advertised at $69 to $89 before the add-ons, and the glasses that follow cost more than they should.
Best Chance Optical is 24 miles north in downtown Forsyth, a straight run up I-75 from north Macon, Ingleside, Wesleyan or Bolingbroke. Patients from across Bibb County make the drive for a $45 exam, same-day lens work from our on-site lab, and a licensed optician who actually fits the glasses.
Getting Here
Best Chance Optical is at 9 N Lee St, Forsyth, GA 31029, in historic downtown Forsyth near the Monroe County courthouse square, just off I-75. Hours are Monday to Thursday 9am to 5pm and Friday 9am to 4pm, closed Saturday, Sunday by appointment. Get directions or call (478) 258-3838.
Macon is close enough that picking up glasses or getting a frame adjusted is a quick errand rather than a day out. Book an exam, pick frames the same visit, and many single-vision glasses are ready the same day from our on-site lab.
