We have combined these with an extensive inventory of the latest and greatest eyewear styles. You can be confident that you’ll see and look your best. From the first eye exam to the final fitting of your fantastic-looking eyewear, we’ve got you covered.
Medical Services
We offer a range of eye evaluations from brief medical visits through comprehensive eye exams. Below are some of the services we offer:
Comprehensive Eye Exams
Checking eye health, pressure, and refraction, then ending with a prescription evaluation.
Complete Dilated Eye Health Examination
For patients with medical issues including diabetes or patients taking Plaquenil (hydroxychloroquine), we perform a complete dilated eye health examination and send a letter to your family doctor with the results.
This helps your doctor manage the medical issues that affect your body as well as your eyes. We also have a retinal camera for photos of the back of the eye.
Red Eye
If you have red eye, it’s a good idea to visit our office before your family doctor since we can evaluate the different causes of red eye more easily with our specialized equipment.
LASIK Pre & Post Evaluations
Your pre- and post-op evaluations can be completed at our office and reports will be sent to your preferred surgeon.
We work with local LASIK specialists including:
- Dr. Juli Larson of Vermont Eye Laser
- Dr. Greg McCormick of Vermont Laser Vision
Ocular Disease Evaluation
We can check eye pressures and perform a visual field test for patients at risk of glaucoma. We often co-manage with local ophthalmologists for patients with complicated eye health issues such as cataracts, retinal problems, and trauma to your eyes.
Contact Lens Fitting
We keep several brands and styles of diagnostic contact lenses in stock to try in-office. We fit patients with:
- Soft disposable contacts that can be changed daily, every 2 weeks or monthly
- Hard lenses for people who prefer them or to accommodate corneal disease
- Toric contacts for patients with astigmatism
- Multifocal or Monovision contact lenses for people over 40 years old that have trouble reading
- Colored contact lenses in several shades that range from natural tints to a very significant color change
If we have to order trial contact lenses, they usually arrive within a day or two.
Vision Therapy
We can evaluate and treat visual issues such as double vision and focusing problems, and also work with local vision therapy specialists.
Many children have undiagnosed vision therapy issues that are not found during school screenings or at a visit with your pediatrician. Some adults that work many hours on computers can develop vision problems that may not be improved by a simple refraction.
If you suffer from headaches or tiredness at the end of the day or feel that you see double or your eyes cross with a lot of computer work, then vision therapy may help you resolve those problems.
Our Store
With our extensive selection of frames, you’re sure to find whatever you need to get the look you’re after. We’ve got titanium, rimless, acetate, and many other materials to choose from in styles ranging from fun and edgy to classic and subtle. With our large kids’ section, the children can have a great time finding the perfect look. We also have a huge selection of sunglasses in the most popular and exclusive brands, with both prescription and non-prescription lenses.
We offer the latest lens technologies, including the best anti-reflection coatings, lenses that darken in sunlight and coatings that block the harmful blue light from LED devices. Whether you need distance, bifocal, progressives or anything in between, we have you covered.
We’ll spend time checking and adjusting every pair of glasses you buy from us to ensure they fit you comfortably. We’ll be happy to adjust or repair them as needed.
