Eyeglasses
Look and See Great!
We understand that eyeglasses are about more than just improving your vision. Your frames are right on your face; one of the first things people notice when they look at you. They can make a difference in how you are perceived by the world.
The right frames can make you look smarter, cooler, and even younger. That’s why we provide the latest designer styles and fashions. Our talented staff can help you chose the best look for your face shape and skin tone, as well as your prescription.
More Than One Pair
Just as the same pair of shoes wouldn’t take you from a cocktail party to the gym, one pair of eyeglasses won’t fit all your visual needs either. Some of the common needs for specialty glasses are:
- Computer use
- Reading Glasses
- Hobbies, such as golf and boating
- Sports glasses for basketball, baseball and soccer
- Sunglasses for driving and outside activities
- Safety glasses for lawn work and construction
- Cosmetic – different looks for different occasions and outfits
With advanced technology comes high quality material that make glasses lighter, more comfortable, and enhances your ability to see clearer. As a provider of the Varilux® Physio 360 lenses, we can provide you with the most advanced lens on the market today. The Physio uses wavefront technology, developed by the NASA space program, to provide sharper vision, and increase contrast sensitivity by up to 30 percent. Golfers are especially happy with this lens for optimal clarity, depth perception, and dimension.
The Optical Gallery specializes in premium products, but we also carry a full range of quality standard frames and lenses at affordable prices. We even have a budget package with frame and lenses that start at $59.00.
Sunglasses
Protective and Cool!
Scientific studies indicate that spending long hours in the sun without eye protection can damage the eyes and contribute to cataracts, macular degeneration, and growths on the eye, including cancer. Wearing proper sunglasses is the best way to shield your eyes from the damaging effects of UV radiation.
Look for these features when buying sunglasses:
- Blocks 99 percent to 100 percent of all UV light
Both plastic and glass lenses are available with this feature — with or without a prescription.
- Polarized Lenses
Polarized lenses are the premium lens of choice for sunglasses because they minimize reflected glare. When driving or boating, this is particularly useful and adds safety. Our optical technicians will be glad to demonstrate the difference between polarized lenses and standard sunglass lenses. You will be amazed at how much better you will see with a polarized product.
- Lens Color and Darkness
A medium lens color is good for everyday wear, but darker lenses are suggested for bright conditions. Popular lens colors are gray, green, or brown. Remember darkness and color does not determine the lens’ ability to block UV light so always check for UV rating also.
- Wraparound Style
Large, wraparound sunglasses provide an extra measure of protection because they keep light from shining into your eyes while also adding extra protection from injury.
Contact Lenses
More Choices Than Ever!
While some people enjoy the fashion statement of eyeglasses, others seek an alternative to glasses; preferring contact lenses. The Eye Associates carries a full range of contact lens brands and products, and many times we are able to fit you the same day.
Some common types of contact lenses are:
- Disposable daily wear contact lenses
- Colored contact lenses to change your eye color
- Extended wear contact lenses for overnight wear
- Bifocal contact lenses providing both near and distance vision
- Monovision contact lenses as an alternative to bifocals
- Toric contact lenses for correction of astigmatism
- Gas Permeable (GP) contact lenses for crisp vision
- Prosthetic contact lenses to mask eye disfigurements
- Silicone Hydrogel contact lenses that transmit more oxygen
- Special-Effect contact lenses, especially popular at Halloween
- Specialty sports team contact lenses to support your favorite football team
- Specialty sports contact lenses, such as the Nike Maxsight, for golf and tennis.
Contact lenses are especially popular with athletes because they provide a full field of unobstructed vision, when participating in sports.
If you have been told in the past that you could not wear contact lenses, odds are that that is no longer true. Today there are more safe and convenient contact lens options than ever before. Our optometrists are highly skilled at satisfying hard-to-fit patients, and they will be happy to help you decide which contact lens is best for your visual needs.
If you have more questions, please contact us or call us at 941-792-2020 or toll free at 1-866-865-2020. One of our skilled professionals will be glad to help you.
