Do you take my insurance?

Do you have an eye doctor on staff?

Can I update the prescription in my existing frames?
Yes, you can! We have state-of-the-art equipment that will measure your existing frames so you can keep your glasses until the new lenses arrive. Schedule an appointment with an eye doctor today to get an updated prescription.
How often should I see an eye doctor?
The American Optometric Association recommends annual eye exams with an eye doctor to keep your prescription up-to-date. However, if you experience any sudden vision changes, do not hesitate to call us and schedule an appointment.
How do I know when my glasses or contacts are ready?
You can easily text any one of our three locations for a quick update on your glasses or contacts. You can also call or email us. Once the order is ready, you’ll receive a call or text. Get in touch with us today to schedule an appointment with one of our eye doctors!
What's the difference between an ophthalmologist and an optometrist?
While both are eye doctors, they have different responsibilities. An optometrist will check the overall health of the eye and determine if glasses are needed. If we determine that medical procedures are needed, or if there’s a medical concern, we refer the patient to an ophthalmologist.
Are all ophthalmic lenses the same?
Lens technologies are very different, our expert opticians utilize the latest technology to measure and fit our patients with Shamir Lenses. Our patients have much better success adapting to their prescriptions than with other lens types, specifically progressive lenses.
Shamir lenses ReCreate Perfect Vision™ by offering the most advanced technological lens solution available to the marketplace at any given time, delivering unparalleled customer service, and latest technology and state of the art equipment such as the Shamir Spark Mi up (that we have at each of our locations)
