What our optical does

An honest opinion, not a push toward the expensive pair.

Frame styling

We look at your prescription, your face, what you do all day and what you’re comfortable spending, then pull frames worth trying on. We carry children’s frames too.

Lenses customized to you

Let us help you customize the lenses that work best for you and your needs: progressives, thinner materials, anti-glare and lenses made for long days on a screen.

Frame lines we carry

Patients often check whether we carry a favorite designer. Collections change, so text or call to ask about a specific frame.

Bent, loose or broken? Walk in.

You don’t need an appointment for adjustments and repairs, and our opticians can often finish while you wait.

Bought your glasses here? Adjustments, minor repairs, nose pads and screws are free. If a bigger repair or a replacement part has a cost, we’ll check the manufacturer’s warranty first and talk it through with you before we start.

Bought them somewhere else? We’re happy to help with adjustments and minor repairs for a small fee, and we can often order replacement parts.

Will you tell me what my plan covers before I choose?
