Office News

Good Vision for Life - Over our life time our vision changes: it's a good idea to have regular, comprehensive eye exams where any changes or eye health issues will be detected. The Columbia Tribune wrote an interesting article about this.

Helping the World See - A huge thank you to all of you who dropped off used glasses for the Lions Club to distribute to those in need around the world. In all 180 pairs were collected in November and December, 2012.  We are always collecting, so if you have some used glasses don't hesitate to stop by and donate them - they could quite literally change the way someone sees the world!

Computer glasses? - If you will be spending many hours in front of a computer it's worth checking into "computer" glasses.  Also referred to as "office glasses" these special lenses are specifically designed to optomize your vision when looking at computer screens, smart phones and books. The benefits include less eye strain.

Digitalized lenses, anti-refective, and scratch resistant lens processes; technology really can deliver Hi-definition for your eyes. We can even make working at your computer better. Call or stop by to find out how we can give you "HD vision".

Personalized Just For You - Do your glasses or contacts provide you with the best vision correction for the jobs and hobbies you do? Did you know that there were special lenses for computer use? If you spend many hours behind a computer you might want to check into these and find out how it will benefit you to have a pair. If you hunt or shoot, fish, boat, sew, knit, quilt, enjoy sports, then there's a specific lens which will enhance your vision and enjoyment of the activity. Don't settle for the "one size fits all" come and talk to us, the independant eye care professionals, and get a personalized solution.

Save on that Second Pair - It's always a good idea to have a back-up pair of glasses with your latest prescription. We have teamed up with our optical lab to provide 30% to 50% off the cost of a second pair of glasses. To take advantage of getting up to half off, your second pair must have the same prescription and be ordered the same day as your initial pair. If you have insurance you will receive 30% off, and if you have no insurance, 50% off. Call or stop by to get the details of this offer.

May is Ultra Violet Awareness Month - Most of us wouldn't venture outside during the Summer months without sunscreen. The effects of Ultra Violet (UV) light on our skin and the risk of skin cancer from prolonged exposure to the sun are well know; UV light can also harm the sensitive skin around your eyes and the eyes themselves. Protect your eyes with sunglasses - sunscreen for your eyes!

Paying for it - In these tough economic times hard choices often have to be made and it's not always between essentials and non-essentials. Your eye care is something you can't afford to neglect or skimp on. If you are fortunate to have vision insurance then you are set; just be sure to take full advantage of your plans benefits. If you don't have insurance talk to us - we have a variety of ways to help reduce your out of pocket expense. In addition to insurance plans and credit cards, we now offer 6 or 12 month interest free credit. Contact us today for the details.
