How often do I need to change my prescription glasses?

• We recommend that you update your glasses whenever your prescription has changed.
• At your annual eye exam, your doctor will perform a refraction test to determine your prescription.
• If you feel that there has been a change in your vison, contact our office to book an appointment.

How long does it take for my glasses order? 

Orders typically take about 7 to 10 business days, depending on the complexity of your order.

How do I clean my glasses?

We recommend lens cleaner with a microfiber cloth. These are conveniently available for purchase at our office.

If cleaner and cloth are not available:

• Rinse glasses with warm water
• Use a little bit of liquid hand soap and gently move your thumb and finger across the lens to clear any oil or residue
• Dry gently with a cloth
• Do not use ammonia base products, vinegar or household cleaners
• Do not use paper products to wipe you lens
