Lenses
Report
When it comes to eyewear, we often pay more attention to our frame choice than our lens selection. Because the lenses are the custom windows through which you will see the world, they deserve your consideration! Not only will your personalized lenses correct and protect your vision, but they can enhance your sight as well.
Replacement Eyewear
Report
We understand life happens and that may mean your glasses get broken, scratched, or damaged in some way. Assuming your prescription is still valid, we are able to add additional material updates, coatings, Transitions, and any other lens treatments or options when you order replacement lenses. These upgrades will require additional out of pocket costs.
Safety Plans
Report
An on-the-job eye injury can cause lasting vision damage. Even "minor" eye injuries can cause long-term vision problems and suffering. However, 90% of eye injuries can be prevented through the use of proper protective eyewear, according to OSHA. But what good is safety eyewear if your people won't wear it?
