What is Age-related Macular Degeneration (AMD)?
If you’ve been diagnosed with Age-related Macular Degeneration (AMD), you’re not alone. It is estimated that as many as 16 million people in the United States have AMD. In fact, it’s a leading cause of blindness in people age 60 and older.
AMD is a condition that affects the center of the retina, called the macula. The macula is the part of the eye responsible for our most acute vision, which we use when reading, driving, and performing other activities that require fine, sharp, or straight-ahead vision. Typically, changes in the macula from AMD are gradual, but in some cases, vision loss is faster and more noticeable.

How to Clean Your Glasses
How to Clean Your Glasses

Zero G Titanium - “which refers to "zero gravity" or "weightlessness." This exclusive collection focuses on classic, modern, and timeless shapes in rich colors and unique patterns. Designed in California and handcrafted in Japan, Zero G is created with style, balance, comfort, and weightlessness in mind. All Zero G frames are hypoallergenic, 40% lighter than stainless-steel, and cut from a single sheet of surgical-grade titanium.

Anti-Reflective Coating Benefits
A lot more goes into selecting the perfect prescription glasses than simply turning in your prescription and choosing a frame. The type of lense you choose for your prescription eyewear is important, and more and more people are discovering the benefits of anti-reflective coating to get the most out of their eyewear.
Anti-reflective coatings (also known as anti-glare or AR coatings) are designed to minimize the amount of light reflected in your lenses. The coatings are applied either to the front, back, or both sides of your lenses so that the maximum amount of positive light reaches your eyes, giving you the clearest possible view.

A Shopping Experience We Had Not Expected!
Recently we recevied some nice comments from one of our awesome customers! Check it out!
I want to thank you again for such a great experience choosing my glasses! When I walked through the door, my husband commented that be there for hours, as always. To begin, a great part of my experience was the hospitality and friendliness we experienced! The glass of beer my hubby enjoyed while waiting in a comfortable chair for what he thought would be hours helped to get him to sit patiently without complaining I really can blame him since it has always been difficult for me to choose a frame to fit my face and personality. Everywhere else I've gone looking for glasses, all he would say was, "Those are nice", As his patience waned...When the glasses would come in, I would always look in the mirror and question my choice.
