Mcdonald Optical

An Iowa City Eyeglasses Store And Optometrists Who Care

For more than 62 years, McDonald Optical has been the premier optical center in Iowa City. We are an award-winning family-owned business started in 1956 by Alfred McDonald. Two of Alfred’s sons, John and Don, took over the business in 1988 following Alfred’s retirement. Reid McDonald, John’s son, is now the third-generation owner and is committed to the family tradition.

Our office is on the east side of the Iowa City Marketplace. McDonald Optical is focused on providing only the highest quality products paired with individualized customer care. We take time to get to know you and understand your visual demands so we can provide truly personalized care.
