We are always receiving the newest styles and colors of today's most popular frames. Our selection of child tested and approved frames is unrivaled.

LENSES: NOT ALL LENSES ARE CREATED EQUAL
Today's popular lens material offer excellent benefits to wearers of any age. We work closely with our laboratory to ensure that each lens is flawless and correctly made. This dedication to quality and individual attention does take time. Most glasses will be complete in three to five business days; however, complex prescriptions such as prisms, polarized lenses, mirror coatings, tinting, or special bifocals may require more time.

Aspheric lenses are recommended for higher prescription powers. The benefits include: lighter and thinner lenses. These lenses are optically and cosmetically superior to standard lens materials.

Polycarbonate lenses are recommended for not just children, but for anyone who lives a more active lifestyle. Polycarbonate lenses offer ten times the impact resistence of ordinary plastic and 25 times the resistance of glass, proving that it is the safest choice for your child. In addition to impact safety, these particular lenses offer protection from potentially damaging UVA and UVB rays.

LENS TREATMENTS: CUSTOMIZE YOUR LENSES
Antireflective (AR) treatment is a coating applied to the lens to reduce reflected light from the lens surface. The reduction of glare makes these lenses cosmetically more appealing, as lenses appear nearly invisible. In addition, the reduced glare improves the clarity of the lens thereby improving vision.

Crizal lenses are an integrated system of 2-sided scratch resistance, anti-reflective and hydro-phobic technologies, providing you with unsurpassed visual clarity. Crizal's advanced properties allow for ease with cleaning fingerprints and smudges from the lens surface as well as two-sided scratch resistance for tough long-lasting lenses.

Photochromic or 'transition' lenses have a special light-sensitive membrane that responds to changes in UV light and temperature to accommodate outdoor lifestyle. As the UV rays increase or decrease, the lens darkens or lightens accordingly. This particular feature has been used for many years, but advances in technology have allowed for faster transition time.

SUNGLASSES: SUN PROTECTION IS NOT FOR SUMMER ALONE
We have a broad selection of adult and children's sunglasses. Many of our frames have an optional sunglass clip-on feature. In addition, any of our frames can be made into prescription or non-prescription sunglasses.

Polarized lenses are the most effective way to reduce glare and eliminate most of the sun's damaging rays. The benefits include improved contrast, reduction of haze from atmospheric conditions, enhanced color rendition, and greater depth perception.

Mirror coating is a special treatment applied to the front surface of the lens through a process that allows the lens to take on the properties of a two-way mirror. Mirror coatings reflect the harsh light rays that are emitted from surfaces such as water, snow, and ice. These coatings are available in a wide array of colors.

ACCURACY IS IMPORTANT.
All of our frames and lenses are inspected prior to dispensing. Our opticians are trained to detect lens irregularities and to ensure prescription accuracy. The priorities in children's eyewear should always be good vision, comfort, safety and value. We strive to ensure that every pair of glasses that leave our optical shops meets our accuracy standards as well as yours.

CONTACT LENSES.
We offer contact lens fitting and dispensing of a wide variety of soft and rigid gas-permeable contact lenses. These include daily wear lenses, contact lenses for astigmatism, tinted lenses and bifocal lenses. We will assure that your fit is optimal for the best possible vision and comfort.
