Our opticians are trained and skilled to be able to turn a vision aid into a personalized work of art. Their craft begins with an expert understanding of materials, shapes, and colors, allowing them to choose frames that not only correct vision but also express individual style and personality. Each pair of glasses we create in house are meticulously crafted, with careful attention paid to every detail—from the selection of materials and the shaping of frames to the precise fitting measurements needed for each individual patient.
This dedication to both form and function ensures that every piece is as comfortable and durable as it is visually striking. By blending traditional techniques with innovative concepts, our opticians create eyewear that stands out for its quality. In the hands of a skilled optician, eyewear not only provides a great look, but precise, quality and comfortable vision all day.
Our opticians strive to be able to replace, repair, and create eyewear fit for every age. These services are a rarity and we are fortunate to have Mike and Rachel be an important part of our staff.
