Eye Glasses

Although the most common reason for visits is for prescription eye glasses, an annual exam is beneficial to detect any early signs of eye disease

There are a number of factors that will play a role in the eye glasses you choose, and how comfortable they will be. These include:

What is your personal style? Frames come in a variety of sizes, and colors, and shapes!
How well do they fit the bridge of your nose? This is most important in plastic frames, as the nose bridge is not adjustable.
Are the temples long enough? Do they sit well behind your ears?
Is the frame a good choice for your prescription? A higher prescription will have a heavier lens, so choosing a frame to optimize weight is important!
What are your hobbies? There are many different frames and lenses to choose to best suit your lifestyle!

An experienced optician can help by answering any questions you may have, and ensure that you have the best eyeglasses to meet your needs!

After we help you find the right eyeglasses, it is important to take care of them. Some of the most important tips to keep in mind include:

When you are not wearing your eyeglasses, always put them in their protective case. That way, the lenses will not get scratched over time.
If your eyeglasses are not on your face, always have a reliable place to put them. That way, you do not lose them. (Hint: Top of the car isn’t ideal :))
Remove your glasses with two hands, this ensures that the frame doesn’t get bent out of alignment.
You should keep your eyeglasses clean using your microfiber cleaning cloth. Many other fabrics are abrasive, and may scratch the lenses. Also, always use a cleaner specific for eyewear. The oils from our faces and hair build up on the lenses over time and these solutions are designed to break those oils down.
