Our Story

Entrance to Pro Vision Center with neon sign, eyeglasses display, and sale signs outside

Pro Vision Center is a locally owned eyewear store in Maine with three convenient locations in South Paris, Auburn, and South Portland. Since 1988, our knowledgeable opticians have specialized in custom-fit prescription glasses, offering in-house lens crafting and same-day service on many eyewear orders.

Unlike many chain optical shops, we edge lenses in-house, allowing for faster turnaround times and precise adjustments tailored to each individual. We are also an in-network provider for EyeMed and other major insurance plans, making quality eyewear more accessible to our community.

For over 36 years, we’ve proudly served Maine by combining expert craftsmanship with a personal, local touch. Whether you need a unique frame fit, updated lenses in your current frames, or a distinctive new look, we curate every detail with you in mind.

Meet the Owner

β€œIn 1988 I opened my first Pro Vision Center in South Paris, with the mission of providing quality eyewear to local patients in Maine. Our second location opened in the Auburn Mall in 1992, which expanded the reach of people we could help. In 2002 we opened our third location at the Maine Mall in South Portland, making our three locally owned eyewear locations.

With the support of our local communities our small business has been successfully thriving for over 36 years, allowing us the privilege to continue to give the gift of sight. It was my dream to provide the finest selections of eyewear and TOP-NOTCH service.

I have been fortunate to have a dedicated staff that has been with me for many, many years. I truly believe what makes all of our Pro Vision Centers unique is our quality eyewear, affordable prices and knowledgeable, friendly staff. Stop by and see what makes us different, we will hopefully see you soon!”
