Services
Contact Lens Exams
Our comprehensive contact lens exams assess your vision needs and lifestyle requirements. We specialize in fitting challenging cases including astigmatism and dry eyes. Our optometrists use advanced diagnostic tools to ensure optimal lens comfort and vision correction.
Specialty Contact Lenses
We provide specialized contact lenses for complex vision conditions like keratoconus and presbyopia. Our doctors have extensive experience fitting scleral lenses and multifocal designs for patients with unique corneal shapes or vision requirements.
Diabetic Eye Health
Our diabetic eye exams utilize state-of-the-art retinal imaging technology to detect early signs of diabetic retinopathy. We work closely with primary care physicians to monitor and manage diabetes-related eye complications through regular comprehensive evaluations.
Pediatric Vision Care
We offer specialized pediatric eye exams focusing on developmental vision needs. Our child-friendly approach detects conditions like amblyopia and strabismus early. We participate in the InfantSee program providing free eye assessments for infants under one year old.
Dry Eye Treatment
Our Envision dry eye treatment combines IPL and radiofrequency technologies for chronic dry eye management. This non-surgical approach addresses meibomian gland dysfunction and ocular rosacea through a series of in-office sessions that improve tear production and reduce inflammation.

I didn't go to the Blue Ash office, but did got to the office in Maineville - it may be the most disorganized business I've ever dealt with. Long waits, stuff not orders, bad service - no way I'm going back and I highly recommend you find someplace else.

Called to make sure that they accepted my insurance before setting up a vision check-up. The lady who answered had a huge attitude and would not give me a straight response on my question. She acted like I didn't know how insurance worked and her condescending tone was very off-putting. Nobody calls an optometry place to get an unsolicited lecture on how insurance works, there are a ton of other places nearby don't come here.

The doctors here are great but the rest of the staff is awful. They are rude and argumentative. They cannot handle giving you access to your chart or notifying you when your glasses come in.

I was referred to Ritter and Hagee by a current client of theirs. In the past, I was a loyal customer of a major eyeglass chain for over 40 years. I will only wear rimless eyeglasses and every year when I would visit this chain, their selection of rimless glasses kept getting smaller and smaller to the point that I would settle for a new pair of very expensive glasses. The last time I went in recently to get a new pair of glasses their selection was almost non existent. Ritter and Hagee on the other hand, had a great selection of lightweight rimless glasses for me to choose from.
The staff was extremely patient, courteous and very helpful coupled with very competitive pricing. I went in with some trepidation, but left with a great pair of glasses. Thank you Jay and the entire Ritter and Hagee team. My expectations were not only met, they were exceeded in every way!

Excellent optometrists, also excellent opticians. Started coming here years ago after horrible experiences with LensCrafters - ending up with eye infections from them. Never again going to those budget places.
