A guide to Glasses
Glasses combine key attributes that ensure comfort, clear vision, and personal style. Frame design and material affect appearance and durability, while lens type and material influence vision correction and weight. Coatings enhance performance with glare reduction, UV protection, and scratch resistance. A precise prescription ensures proper vision correction, and the right fit and brand offer both comfort and a style that suits your lifestyle.

Frame Design and Material
The frame is the foundation of any pair of glasses, combining aesthetic appeal with functionality. Frames come in a variety of styles—such as round, square, or aviator—to suit different face shapes and personal tastes. The materials used, like metal, plastic, or acetate, affect the weight, durability, and comfort of the glasses. Some materials offer flexibility, while others provide a sleek or bold look, making the choice of frame essential to both performance and fashion.
Lens Type and Material
Lenses vary based on the wearer’s vision needs and lifestyle. Single vision lenses correct one field of vision, while bifocal and progressive lenses offer multiple prescriptions in a single lens for near and distance vision. The lens material also plays a crucial role, with options such as polycarbonate and high-index plastics providing lightweight and impact-resistant alternatives to traditional glass, improving comfort and durability.
Lens Features and Coatings
Additional lens features greatly enhance the usability of glasses. Anti-reflective coatings reduce glare and improve clarity, making it easier to see in bright light or when using digital devices. Scratch-resistant coatings protect lenses from everyday wear and tear. UV protection shields the eyes from harmful ultraviolet rays, while blue light filters help reduce eye strain from screens. Photochromic lenses automatically adjust tint based on lighting conditions for added convenience.
Prescription and Vision Correction
The prescription is the heart of any corrective eyewear, tailored precisely to an individual’s vision needs. It ensures that the lenses compensate for refractive errors like nearsightedness, farsightedness, or astigmatism. Accurate prescription management is vital for clear vision, eye health, and comfort, often requiring regular eye exams to update prescriptions as needed.
Fit and Brand
Proper fit is critical for comfort and effectiveness. Glasses must fit well on the nose and ears without slipping or causing pressure points. Adjustable features like nose pads and flexible temple arms help customize the fit. Additionally, the brand plays a significant role, with options ranging from practical, affordable frames to high-end luxury labels known for craftsmanship, unique designs, and premium materials that make a style statement.
About Our Contacts
Contact lenses offer a convenient and comfortable alternative to glasses, providing clear vision without altering your appearance. They are available in a variety of types, including daily disposables, extended wear, and specialty lenses for conditions like astigmatism or presbyopia. With proper fitting and care, contact lenses can be a safe and effective choice for active lifestyles or those seeking a glasses-free look.
Choosing Your Contacts
Contact lenses come with a range of attributes designed to fit your lifestyle, vision needs, and eye health. Key factors include the type of lens and how often it’s worn, the materials that affect comfort and breathability, the personalized fit and prescription, and added features like UV protection or handling tints. Together, these elements ensure clear vision, lasting comfort, and convenience for daily life.
Type and Wear Schedule
Contact lenses are available in various types based on how long they’re worn—daily disposables, bi-weekly, monthly, or extended wear. Specialty lenses like toric (for astigmatism) and multifocal (for near and distance vision) offer targeted correction. Choosing the right type depends on your vision needs, habits, and how often you prefer to replace your lenses.
EXAMS ARE ESSENTIAL
If you’re a regular contact lens wearer, it’s important to come for annual eye exams so we can monitor your eye health and comfort while wearing them. But if you experience discomfort while wearing your contacts, don’t wait until your exam time comes up on the calendar. A contact lens fit fee will be charged in addition to the annual eye exam. Many people who experience discomfort give up on wearing lenses without looking for an alternative option. Dry eye is a common reason for people to go back to glasses. But we can help you find another style of lens or a dry eye treatment to keep you wearing contacts comfortably. Regular exams are also essential for keeping your prescription up-to-date and your vision sharp. If you have a current prescription and just need a refill, contact our office to order!
Material and Comfort
Lens material plays a major role in comfort and eye health. Soft lenses, made from hydrogel or silicone hydrogel, are flexible and breathable, while rigid gas permeable (RGP) lenses offer crisp vision and durability. Materials with higher oxygen permeability and appropriate water content help keep eyes hydrated and healthy throughout the day.
Fit and Prescription
Every pair of contact lenses is tailored to your eye’s shape and prescription. Proper fitting ensures the lenses stay centered, move correctly with your eyes, and provide clear, stable vision. An accurate prescription also helps prevent strain or discomfort, making regular eye exams essential for long-term lens wear.
Additional Features
Many contact lenses include helpful extras like UV protection to shield eyes from harmful rays, and slight tints or handling marks for easier insertion and removal. Some lenses also offer cosmetic features, such as enhancing or changing eye color, for both vision correction and personal expression.
CLEAR COMFORTABLE VISION
Contact lenses give you the option to go glasses-free for sports, fashion, or just because you want to. With education and support, even kids can wear contacts safely. If you’ve ever been curious about contact lenses, we can help you explore your options. Our experienced team offers professional fittings, the training you need to insert and remove your lenses with ease, and various lens types to suit many prescriptions and lifestyles. Getting started with contact lenses is easy—book your fitting today!
FINDING YOUR FIT
A contact lens prescription differs from your regular eyewear prescription. After all, contact lenses sit directly on the cornea. They are a medical device that requires careful fitting to support your eye comfort. When you book a contact lens exam, we will evaluate your overall eye health to determine which lenses are best for your eyes. We’ll take some measurements to make sure we get the sizing right too. During the exam, we’ll discuss your lifestyle, vision needs, and your expectations from contact lens wear. Maybe you’re someone who only wants to wear contact lenses on special occasions. Or perhaps you’re a busy parent with a jam-packed bedtime routine who doesn’t have the time to clean and put away the same pair of lenses every night. No matter your situation, we’ll take the time to listen to your needs and find the right lens fit for you. Book your contact lens exam with us!
Prescription and Vision Correction
The prescription is the heart of any corrective eyewear, tailored precisely to an individual’s vision needs. It ensures that the lenses compensate for refractive errors like nearsightedness, farsightedness, or astigmatism. Accurate prescription management is vital for clear vision, eye health, and comfort, often requiring regular eye exams to update prescriptions as needed.
CARING FOR CONTACTS
Contact lenses sit directly on the cornea, so you’ll need to follow your optometrist’s instructions carefully to help keep your eyes healthy. Serious infections can be associated with contact lens wear, so hygiene is of the utmost importance. Kids and teens looking for easier lens care may prefer disposable soft contact lenses. These lenses are worn once, so there are no extra steps to disinfect or store the lenses. Contact lens wearers of all ages can prevent infections by doing the following: Remove your lenses before you go to sleep. Book annual, comprehensive eye exams to check that your eyes are still tolerating lenses well. Don’t shower, use a hot tub, or go swimming while wearing contact lenses. Replace and care for your lenses by following your optometrist’s instructions. Overwearing can cause issues with your vision and health of your eyes. If you have lenses that need to be cleaned, only use the recommended contact lens solution—never tap water. Wash your hands with soap and water and dry them thoroughly before inserting or removing lenses.

Proper fit is critical for comfort and effectiveness. Glasses must fit well on the nose and ears without slipping or causing pressure points. Adjustable features like nose pads and flexible temple arms help customize the fit.
