GLOBE is an Open Access Provider

GLOBE was founded by Bob and Nancy Schulze in 2002 with the intention of providing our community with unique, high-quality frame options, top-notch opticianry services, and fair prices. As an open access provider (also known as an out-of-network provider), we are not limited in our ability to provide these products and services the way we would be, if we accepted the conditions of managed-care or vision benefit plans.

To take advantage of your existing vision plan benefits at GLOBE, check with your provider about your out-of-network reimbursement benefit, and let us know when you are selecting your frames. We will prepare the proper forms in hard copy or digitally for you to send to the address provided – your reimbursement check will be sent to you directly.

This practice allows us to prioritize our values:

Supporting over 40 independent, small businesses – Nothing at GLOBE is mass-produced. Each frame is crafted by hand in limited number to ensure that the frames that you wear will not only be comfortable and optimal for your optical needs but also last you through many seasons of life, and working with independent lens laboratories gives us access to the widest variety of lens materials, treatments, and technologies on the market.

Expert optician services – Bob and Nancy have over 80 years of combined optical experience, and now their daughter Hanna has joined the business as a certified optician rounding out their team. Whoever you work with at GLOBE, you can be assured that you are in the very best hands.

A wide range of fair prices – We select frames and lens products based on their performance, design, durability, and uniqueness. Due to our relatively low administrative overhead, we are able to maintain a lower retail markup on all products – better results without being overcharged, who doesn’t love that!
