  • Our recommendations for lenses include a lighter thinner material called Polycarbonate.  This fits the needs of virtually every patient.  Other materials such as High Index and Trivex may be recommended based on patients needs and with higher prescriptions.
  • Why we recommend Anti-Glare solutions for everyone.  The benefits of this product provide optimal visual acuity.  It reduces night time glare from headlights, taillights and street lights which allows you to drive safer.  Anti-Glare lenses are also superior at fighting ghost images, fighting reflections from computers and overhead lights that cause eyestrain and fatigue. They also look better making the lenses virtually invisible so people see your eyes clearly.
  • Our frame selection has been carefully selected to provide you with the best possible shopping experience. So whether you are looking for a inexpensive extra pair, something classic or funky we have something for everyone.

Sunglasses

  • Lens options: First are Polarized lenses they provide 100% front side UV protection, they eliminate blinding glare and improve contrast sensitivity to increase visual clarity and enhance color perception. Mirrors and Backside Anti-Glare solutions provide and additional benefit for UV and back surface glare providing optimal visual acuity.  Second are Tinted lenses they may provide more color options but most will lack the protection from UV rays, blinding glare and can fade or discolor over time.
  • Frame options: A Good quality frame that will provide maximum coverage is recommended.  This will ensure the best protection possible and remember that there are many fashionable frame options available for prescriptions today. Be sure to ask your eye care professional which options are best for you.
