Q-If I wear contacts why do I need a back-up pair of glasses ??

It is very important to have a back-up pair of glasses in the event you have an eye health issue and cannot wear your contacts. Its also recommended to give your eyes a break from contacts in the evenings and weekends. If you travel it's also nice to have a back-up option in case you need it.

Q-Do I need to leave my glasses with you if I’m getting new lenses??

It is always best to send in the frame to the lab to insure a perfect fit, we do have electronic frame tracers in all our stores which, in most cases, enables you to keep wearing your frames while waiting for new lenses. We are required to send in your frame to the lab if you are using either VSP or Spectera insurance, as they each have their own labs which set rules on using patients own frames.

We would be happy to call and have your prescription faxed to us. You will need to sign a records release form in accordance with HIPAA regulation.
