We strive to focus on services that positively impact your life. Our technology allows us to evaluate your eyes and vision in-depth, so we can provide individualized solutions. Our goal is to serve your eye care needs, whether we’re fitting contact lenses, managing your child’s nearsightedness, or treating emergency eye problems.

Reducing Contact Lens Waste

We participate in the Bausch + Lomb TerraCycle program, acting as a drop-off location for recycling contact lenses and blister packs. The program accepts all brands at no cost to you. Materials are recycled into a raw form and reused by manufacturers to create new products, from picnic tables to garden beds.

Contact lenses are medical devices, so they’re designed to last—taking a long time to biodegrade. Over 23 metric tons of contact lens waste are thrown away each year, about the same weight as a fire truck.

We’re proud to do our part and support our patients in reducing our environmental footprint.

Accepted Insurance Providers

We accept: Aetna, Anthem BCBS, Cigna, ConnectiCare, (some) Eyemed, Medicare, Meritain, United Healthcare, and VSP.

Frequently Asked Questions

If I am not a patient, can I still come in and get glasses or contacts there?

Yes! Anyone is welcome to purchase glasses and/or contact lenses at our office. We only need a copy of your active prescription (not beyond the expiration date), and we will be able to fill it.

How long does a typical eye exam last?

A typical eye exam lasts about 20 minutes. However, we do recommend budgeting more time at our office as the eye exam is only one part of your experience with us. After your exam, we want to ensure that all of your optical needs are met by making specific recommendations with our frame and lenses.

What is the minimum age of patients you see?

We start seeing patients aged 5 or older.

How long do glasses take to be ready?

Once the order is processed, we typically expect them to be ready no more than 7-10 business days. However, there are many scenarios when they come in much faster than that! It depends on the lens products, your insurance company, and if holidays are nearby.

If my glasses or contact lenses are not working after picking them up, can I come back in to see the doctor again?

Absolutely! We always want to make sure that you are completely satisfied with any of our products. For any new products, we recommend testing them for 1-2 weeks on a consistent basis to adjust to. If you are unable to adjust, we always recommend returning to the original place of purchase to ensure that the prescription in them is correct, along with the lens measurements and frame adjustments. If all these steps are completed, we then recommend coming back to see the doctor for a re-examination of your prescription. Typically, we are happy to complete this within 60 days of date of examination or purchase from our office free of charge!

If I don’t want to buy a new frame but my prescription changes, can I order new lenses and use my current frame?

Yes! Before purchasing any lenses, we will do a thorough inspection of the frames to make sure they are structurally sound. If they pass this test, we will be happy to use your current frame. Please note that the use of current frames is at the sole risk of the patient.

What type of contact lenses do you fit?

We fit many different types of contact lenses! We mostly fit soft contact lenses ranging from monthly to daily replacement. In soft contact lenses, we fit spherical, astigmatism, multifocal, and monovision. Additionally, we do fit some specialty lenses like rigid gas permeable and soft myopia management lenses.
