FAQS

Common Eyeglasses Questions

Do I need to see a specific optical company for my prescription?

No, federal law says you are free to get your glasses prescription from any eyewear provider you choose, and have it filled wherever you choose.

Do you use glass lenses?

Rarely. The plastics available today are much lighter in weight and much safer to use in eyeglasses. And the newer technology to give the best vision can only be processed in the types of plastics now available.

My glasses have always been thick and heavy. Can I get thinner lenses?

Yes! There are lenses that can reduce thickness and weight by over 50%.

Do you take my insurance?

We accept several vision insurance plans. Check our insurance page to see if we are a provider on your plan. If not, many plans have out-of-network benefits.

I hate picking out frames! Can someone help me pick frames?

We do have hundreds of styles to choose from. Our experienced staff is always happy to help guide you in selecting a style that’s flattering but that also works best with your prescription and lens type, whether for reading, distance, lined or no-line multifocals, or sunglasses. You may also want to try out the Eyeglass Guide to help narrow your choices before you come in.

Do I need to purchase new frames when I have a change of prescription?

Not necessarily. Occasionally, a frame can be re-used if it is still in good condition. There may also be other considerations in whether a frame can be re-used.
