Our Eye Wear Selection
Value Line
If you need a back-up pair of glasses or a supplemental prescription for the computer, driving, reading or just peace of mind, consider our Value Line frame and lens (CR-30 plastic or Polycarbonate) package. We will be happy to supply you with complete details.
Computer Correction
If you work on the computer at work and/or home for any extended period of time, then a Computer Prescription is an absolute must. You will need to have a 3rd party measure (using a tape measure) from your eye to the computer monitor, the keyboard and any material that you are working from, in inches. Just bring those distances in with you and we will design your own Computer Correction.
Reading Correction
If you are an avid reader or enjoy spend several hours at a time reading, then you really need a separate Reading Prescription. Just let us know that reading is a necessity or a passion - we can help!
Safety Prescriptive Eyewear
If you are a weekend gardner, a handyman working around your home, or concerned about protecting your eyes from the hazards of flying objects, then we need to talk about your own Safety Prescriptive Eyewear.
Special Needs Eyewear
Do you play the piano, sing in the choir, paint, fish, hunt, conduct the orchestra, or have other Special Needs? If so, a separate correction designed just for those occasions may make the difference in your comfort, accuracy, and overall pleasure in fully enjoying your hobbies or extracurricular activities!
Sports Protection
Whether you are a weekend warrior, on a team, or involved in a variety of sports, you need to take care of your eyes. Just a moment of inattention or not protecting your eyes can result in a lifetime loss of vision, depth perception, and even affect your future earnings and career options. Take care to take care of your peepers!
Protection From The SUN
You wouldn't go out and sunbathe for hours or forget to use your sunburn protection SPF now would you? Well, why wouldn't you protect the most precious gift you have of sight. Polaroid lenses, solid or gradient tints, even Transitions lenses can all give you extra UV protection. Ask us about the right protective lens for you and your lifestyle to protect you from the direct and harmful effects of the sun.
