Eyeglasses and Eyewear in Phoenix
Glasses are two decisions made together: a frame that fits your face and suits your life, and lenses matched to your prescription and how you actually use your eyes. Getting either wrong makes the other one worse.
Buying glasses online is cheap and often disappointing, and the reason is usually fit rather than prescription. A frame that sits a few millimetres too low or too far from the face moves the optical centre away from your pupil, and with progressive lenses that error is the difference between glasses you wear and glasses in a drawer.
This practice carries twenty one frame and sunglass brands, from Ray-Ban, Oakley and Nike through to Gucci, Prada, Persol, Silhouette and Versace. Many prescriptions are finished in house the same day rather than sent away for a week.
Everything sold here is backed. Free cleaning, repairs and adjustments for as long as you wear the frame, a 120 day redo guarantee if the glasses are not right, and the WOW Warranty covering unlimited replacement.
Everything under Eyeglasses and Eyewear
Frame Selection and Fitting
Frame fitting positions the lens correctly in front of your eye. Bridge fit, temple length, pantoscopic tilt and vertex distance all affect optical performance, which is why a well fitted frame sees better than a badly fitted one.
Designer Frames
The practice carries twenty one frame and sunglass brands, ranging from everyday durable designs through to luxury eyewear, with professional fitting included regardless of what you choose.
Prescription Lenses
Lens choice covers material, thickness, design and coatings. Higher prescriptions benefit most from high index materials, which are thinner and lighter, while coatings affect clarity, durability and comfort.
Progressive Lenses
Progressive lenses provide distance, intermediate and near correction in a single lens with no visible line. Power changes gradually down the lens, so you look through different zones for different distances.
Computer Glasses
Computer glasses are prescription lenses optimised for screen working distance, typically 50 to 70 centimetres. They give a wide comfortable field at that distance rather than the narrow corridor a progressive lens provides.
Blue Light Lenses
Blue light filtering lenses reduce the amount of short wavelength light reaching the eye. They can improve glare comfort during long screen sessions. There is no good evidence that screen blue light damages the eyes.
Prescription Sunglasses
Prescription sunglasses combine vision correction with UV protection and glare control. In Arizona they are closer to essential equipment than an accessory, given the year round sun intensity.
Kids Glasses
Children's glasses need impact resistant polycarbonate lenses, frames that survive being sat on, and fitting that keeps the optical centre aligned as the child grows. Fit matters more for children than for adults.
Sports Eyewear
Sports eyewear combines impact resistant lenses with frames that stay put during activity. Most sport related eye injuries are preventable with appropriate protective eyewear, and standard glasses do not qualify.
Safety Glasses
Prescription safety glasses meet defined impact resistance standards for workplace use. They combine vision correction with certified protection, which ordinary prescription glasses do not provide.
High Index Lenses
High index lens materials refract light more efficiently than standard plastic, so the same prescription is achieved with less thickness. The result is thinner, flatter and lighter lenses, most noticeably above about three dioptres.
Transitions and Photochromic Lenses
Photochromic lenses such as Transitions contain molecules that darken when exposed to ultraviolet light and clear when it is removed. One pair serves as both glasses and sunglasses.
The WOW Warranty
The WOW Warranty is the practice's eyewear guarantee, covering unlimited replacement. Alongside it sit a 120 day redo guarantee and free cleaning, repairs and adjustments for as long as you wear the frame.
Same Day Glasses
Many prescriptions are finished in house on the day of your examination rather than being sent to an external laboratory. Complex prescriptions and specialist coatings are made to order and take longer.
Eyewear for Dry Climates
Arizona conditions ask specific things of eyewear: full UV protection year round, wraparound coverage against dust and wind, and glare control on roads and reflective surfaces.
