Optical Services

You might be delighted to hear that you have a refractive error in your vision that requires correction -- but at least you can be delighted with your choice in eyeglasses, especially when you purchase those prescription glasses here at Cleveland Eyecare, OP, PA. Our Shelby optometry team can provide with a wealth of options, from the perfect frame shape and style for your face to a variety of lens choices to help optimize your vision.

Eyeglasses have proven their ability to correct many kinds of vision issues for hundreds of years. Today's lens materials and technologies make glasses even more effective and comfortable to wear than ever before. You'll find that heavy glass lenses are a thing of past, thanks to lightweight plastics that offer superb vision correction. Choices include standard CR-39 plastic, impact-resistant polycarbonate for kids' glasses or hazardous environments, and high-index lenses that minimize weight while providing built-in UV protection. Choose from single-vision lenses or bifocal, trifocal, or progressive multifocal lenses (to correct presbyopia).

Our Shelby office can also provide you with some highly useful add-ons to the lenses you select. For example, you may want to add anti-scratch, anti-glare, or anti-fog coatings so you're seeing clearly even in challenging conditions. You might want to get photochromic lenses that darken in sunlight (a convenient alternative to prescription sunglasses). If you're on the road or on the water a lot, you can even select polarized lenses that filter reflected light.

In addition to a wide range of eyeglass frames from the world's leading fashion designers, our office is also proud to offer some of the most popular names in sunglasses, including Ray-Ban,and Costa Del Mar. Better yet, we can guide you through the frame selection process to ensure that your glasses complement your face while reflecting your personal sense of style. As a general rule, you'll want to choose a frame shape that contrasts your facial shape -- such as round glasses for a square face or angular glasses for a round face. We can also point you toward a variety of styles, from minimalist frames that evoke a professional demeanor to playful, retro-style cat-eye glasses. Last but not least, we'll make sure the color scheme of your frames goes with your natural skin and hair tones.

If you're ready to and see (and look) your best in a pair of eyeglasses, you're ready to visit Cleveland Eyecare, OD, PA. Call our Shelby optometry center at 704-482-1234!
