Optical Department:  Glasses by Tony, Karen, and Sue

Glasses to Fit Your Style and Your Life.

When it's time for you to get a new pair of glasses, please visit our Optical Department.  We can help you choose frames from almost any style you can imagine -- with a smile!!   Our Optical Department at each of our locations has a wide selection from the most reliable and best-selling frame manufacturers:

• We feature Sillouhette, Liz Claiborne, Marchant and others -- the latest designer and fashion styles for every age, from conservative to trendy.
• The latest styles and makes for kids, including Elle for girls, Mickey and Company, and Disney
• Flexon (TM) flexible, bendable frames from titanium memory metal
• Frames at competitive prices to fit almost any budget
• Maui Jim and RayBan Sunglasses

Just like you have more than one pair of shoes, you need more than one pair of glasses.  Sunglasses protect your eyes from UV radiation and reduce your risk of cataracts and macular degeneration.  Safety glasses protect your eyes from sports and occupational injuries.  Many patients benefit from having separate glasses for computer activities as well as different styles for everyday wear and evening wear.  

Of course, if you want help in making the best choice, our experienced and licensed Opticians Tony Tarlton, Karen Robinson and Sue Metzelaar will take plenty of time to talk with you and show you a variety of styles. We'll also talk with you about which styles are best for your lifestyle - whether you play active sports, work in an environment where glasses might get broken, or sit in front of a computer all day.

Having your glasses fitted by a licensed optician is extremely important.  An accurate prescription poorly fitted will cause annoying problems like eyestrain, headaches and poor quality vision.  Many discount houses employ only a "stylist"--we do not.  Our licensed opticians will use their experience and training to make sure your doctor's prescription works well for you.

You'll get your glasses quickly, too. We cut and edge your lenses to fit your frames, using the most modern equipment, right here in our office. We keep single-vision lenses on hand, ready to put in your frames immediately. If you need a more specialized prescription, we'll get your lenses custom ground within days, then fit them to your frames in our office.

If you get a new lens prescription but you want to keep your current frames, you won't have to do without your glasses. We'll edge the new lenses and put them in your frames while you wait.

Contact Lenses ---  with Care.   And with Sheri and Sherree.

We specialize in contact lenses. Over the years we have specifically fitted thousands of patients. We carry a large inventory of lenses on site and fit a wide variety of lenses - disposable, daily wear, toric and bifocal, soft and gas permeable. Our fitting includes sufficient follow-up care until you and we are satisfied that you have the best possible fit. We welcome patients who have had problems in the past with contact lenses or who have not been successfully fitted in the past and want to wear contact lenses. We have the latest technology which allows us to select lenses made specifically for you. Our Contact Lens Technicians, Sheri Tisdell and Sherree Grimstead, will be happy to help you.

      Why you should get your contacts from us:

• We can almost always replace a lost or damaged lens on an emergency basis or provide you with a substitute until we can get the lenses you need.
• For patients who order their contacts from us, we do not charge for trial or substitute lenses while you are waiting for your order 
• You may order your lenses online through our website (see our home page), by voicemail, or by speaking directly to Sheri or Sherree.
• You receive extensive instruction on the handling and care of your lenses, and advice on cleaning/storage solutions and other problems you may have with contact lenses.
• We offer volume discounts on selected disposable contact lens purchases
• All our lenses come with a 30 day money back guarantee

We participate in the majority of vision plans so please check with our office staff to determine whether you can use your vision insurance plan to help pay for your glasses and contact lenses.
