All major credit cards, and some University debit card programs, are accepted. Gift certificates are also available.

CollegeOpticalExpress.com was founded in conjunction with the brick-and-mortar College Optical Express stores that are resident on various college campuses across the United States. These full-service optical stores provide a wide range of eyecare and eyewear specifically to the college students and alumni of the host college. Each store has a fully licensed professional staff, consisting of an optometrist, optician, lab technician (select stores), and administrative support. These eyecare professionals guide each student through a range of eyewear selections that best fit his/her prescription and lifestyle needs.

CollegeOpticalExpress.com and College Optical Express stores are part of the Retail Eyewear, Inc. family of eyecare- and eyewear-focused companies.
