Reduced hours equal cost savings. Low overhead and cost effective resources makes this Spectacle savings program possible. Everyone is welcomed.

If you have a frame at home in good condition, think about putting it to work with new lenses.

Important information each patient should leave the eye doctor's office knowing. The ability to see clearly is clinically defined with an eye chart (i.e. 20/20, 20/25, 20/30, 20/40, 20/50, etc...).


Each patient should know the following information:

1. What is your vision with your current glasses?
2. What is your vision with the new prescription?
3. If your vision is less than 20/20 (considered normal), what are the reasons?
