B & D Optical Wholesale is a distributor serving optometrists, ophthalmologists, and independent eyewear retailers across Oklahoma City and surrounding areas rather than a retail location for direct consumer sales. The business supplies frames, lenses, and optical materials in volume to licensed eye-care practitioners and existing optical shops.
B & D Optical Wholesale operates as a behind-the-scenes supplier in the Oklahoma City eyewear ecosystem. It stocks frames and lenses that eye doctors and optical retailers source for their patients, rather than a storefront where individuals walk in to purchase glasses. The role is wholesale distribution: larger quantities, professional pricing, and relationships built with practices that fill regular orders.
The business carries frames across multiple price tiers and styles, serving practitioners who want variety in material (metal, plastic, acetate blends) and frame size. Lens inventory typically includes single-vision, bifocal, and progressive options; wholesale distributors also stock lens materials ranging from basic CR-39 plastic to high-index and polycarbonate stock, depending on demand.
Wholesale pricing is not published openly to walk-in customers because accounts are account-based, meaning individual practitioners negotiate margins based on order volume and frequency. A small practice ordering 10 frames per month pays differently than a larger practice ordering 50, or a retail chain. For specific pricing on either frames or lens materials, practitioners must contact the business directly with their practice credentials and anticipated order volume.
Oklahoma City practitioners can also source frames and lenses from national wholesalers like Essilor, Luxottica (the Italian parent of many frame brands), and online distributors that ship nationwide. B & D Optical Wholesale's local presence means practitioners can order and receive stock faster than waiting for mail delivery, reducing the lag between a patient purchase and fulfillment. Practitioners also benefit from face-to-face relationships with account managers who understand local preferences and can spot trends in frame styles.
National distributors offer broader inventory and competitive pricing at very large volumes; choosing B & D is most practical for independent practitioners or smaller chains that prioritize faster turnaround and personal service over the absolute lowest per-unit cost on bulk orders.
B & D Optical Wholesale is designed for licensed optometrists and ophthalmologists who dispense frames and lenses directly, and for independent optical retailers operating their own storefronts. If you are an individual patient seeking to buy glasses, this is not a retail location; you work through your eye doctor or a retail chain that sources from distributors like this.
It also serves frame buyers at optical shops that want alternatives to national chains or online sources. It does not serve the very large retail chains that have their own supply agreements and manufacturing arms.
A practitioner or optical shop owner initiates contact with B & D Optical Wholesale by phone or in-person visit to open an account. They'll need to provide proof of licensure (for doctors) or business registration and resale documentation (for retail owners). The account manager reviews typical order volume, preferred frame styles and sizes, and lens preferences to stock the right inventory. Payment terms and pricing tiers are negotiated at that time.
Once active, practitioners typically place orders by phone or visit the showroom to review new frames and place stock orders. Reorders are faster for practitioners with standing accounts.
B & D Optical Wholesale is located in Oklahoma City proper and operates during standard business hours aligned to practitioner schedules; specifics should be confirmed directly because wholesale distributor hours sometimes differ from retail locations and may not be open evenings or weekends. Parking is typically straightforward at wholesale facilities that do not rely on foot traffic. Practitioners should confirm current hours and any appointment policies before visiting to ensure staff availability for product consultation.
B & D Optical Wholesale fills a practical gap in Oklahoma City's eyewear supply chain for practitioners who need fast, local access to frames and lenses rather than mail-dependent national supply.
