Do I need blue-light protection glasses?

Blue light is a growing problem ever since everyone around the world has access to some type of technology (cellphones, tablets, computers, tv).

Moreover, if you have eye strain, eye fatigue, or difficulty sleeping at night, you may benefit from using blue-light filtering lenses. In addition, blue light also offers additional UV protection from the sun. We offer high index prescription as well as non prescription blue light lenses, so come in and let us help you pick the right glasses for you!

Is it worth it to buy frames online?

The truth is, if cost is a major factor for you and you’re not looking for the best sharpness in your vision in the longer distances. Individuals with light prescriptions can get away with online glasses without much issue. The disadvantage of online glasses is that they can’t get your measurements accurately; especially your ocular height as that is required in person. Ocular height measurements are essential when your prescription are worse, starting in the +/- 2.00 power or higher. It’s best if you search for a, “glasses store near me” and go in to get your measurements take from a licensed optician. I would avoid buying progressive lenses online altogether as having your ocular height is an absolute must!

I don’t have a prescription but I still want glasses for fashion. What can I do?

What is the best way to take care of my glasses?

The best way to clean your glasses is with a clean lens cloth, along with some cleaning solution. Although, if you don’t happen to have cleaning solution, you can clean your glasses with soft soap under warm water, never hot! Nevertheless, please don’t use any harsh chemicals, especially on the lenses as it may corrode the coating on your lenses. For instance, Windex or any similar glass cleaning solution which contains ammonia.
