I call it an eyeglass(es) store. Here, they are mostly chain stores: Cohen's Optical, Pearle Vision, etc.
 
Thanks.
But is there any combination for the name where we have the word "optic" or something like this in the name?
I think I have seen something but I don't remember.

Some use the word "opticians".
 
In the UK, the place you go for an eye examination (eye test) and where you can then buy your glasses or contact lenses is an optician's or an ophthamologist's.
