Can I combine my insurance with your in-store promotions?

No, insurance cannot be combined with in-store promotions. However, we do offer 60% off your second pair of glasses with your insurance, valid in-store only.

Products FAQ:

Can I bring a prescription from another doctor and just purchase the glasses from you?

Yes, as long as your prescription is still valid, our specialists can help you fill the order accordingly.

Can I bring in my own frames and just purchase the lenses?

Yes, we can use your own frame to mount new lenses provided that we inspect the frame condition to ensure that we can supply new lenses.

Do you carry designer frames?

Yes, we carry designer frames, brands vary by location. Please visit or call your local store if you're searching for a specific brand. With our large selection of more than 2,000 frames, you're sure to find a frame that fits your style.

How do I clean my glasses?

Start by holding the frames under a faucet of warm water. Get your fingers soapy and GENTLY rub the lenses and the frame. This will remove grease and dirt without scratching the lenses.You can also use lens cleaner, but we recommend the water method if at all possible. Next, gently dab your lenses with a clean soft cloth until dry. Rubbing dry lenses vigorously can easily scratch them, so be careful.

Which frame shape is best for my face shape?

The simple rule is to select a pair of frames that serves as a contrast to your face shape and the size of the frame is scaled to fit your face. For a square face, choose oval or round frames to soften the jawline, rimless or semi-rimless are great options too. For a round or oval face shape, select frames that are angular shaped such as square, rectangular or cat-eye to help provide more definition. If you have a heart shaped face, select frames with a narrow, bottom-heavy frame, round or square with rounded edges, cat-eye works too.

How do I adjust my frames?

We can adjust and clean your frames for free in-store. Visit us at your convenience. If you don't have a local store nearby, you can adjust your eyewear by yourself with these easy instructions.

If your glasses are sitting too low on your nose:
For Wireframe glasses: Use your thumbs to push your nose pads closer together until they fit snugly against the sides of your nose.
For Plastic/Acetate glasses: Run warm water for 30 seconds over the part of your frame you want to bend in order to soften it. Next, bend inward at the bridge, the hinges or the bend of your temple arms to make the frame fit more snugly to your face.

If your glasses are pinching your nose:
For Wireframe glasses: Use your thumbs to spread the nose pads out until they fit comfortably.
For Plastic/Acetate glasses: Run warm tap water over your glasses until they are pliable (this should take about 30 seconds) and then bend the nose piece outward slowly until it fits comfortably on the bridge of your nose.

What is the PD (Pupillary Distance)?

Pupillary Distance (PD) is the distance between the centers of your pupils. It determines where you look through the lens of your glasses. Watch the video below if you want to know more.
