If all you're interested in is a set of eyeglasses, go to the usual cut-rate strip mall shops.
Sometimes, an optometrist is not enough: I needed a real eye doctor, and the ophthalmologists @ Vancouver Eye Care do a fine job. I've been going to Dr. Rundle for years, and Dr. Tenold did a great job on my cataracts.
Yeah, the front office on Main is pretty grim, but the folks @ Columbia Tech are sweeter. But, you want good medical care or a back-rub?
Pros: Most professional MDs
Cons: expensive eyewear
