Frame Fitting & Styling
Our expertly trained eyewear stylists are here to help you pick exactly the right frames to balance and enhance your features while ensuring comfort and flawless vision.
Every style consultation begins with a thorough review of your lifestyle, work, and style preferences. We then we move on to select a variety of frames that work well with your look, needs and budget, reviewing custom colors and natural materials, before helping you whittle it down to your perfect match. When your frames arrive, we’ll invite you back to have them properly fitted for optimal comfort to ensure that you leave feeling as good as you look.
Eye Exams
Regular eye exams do more than establish your prescription for glasses or contact lenses. Your eyes are an indicator of your overall health, so an optometrist is often the first person to identify chronic conditions such as glaucoma, diabetes and high blood pressure, often before you know they exist. In addition to our ongoing professional training, Taank’s work with Addenbrooke’s Hospital’s Glaucoma Clinic in Cambridge allows for continuous learning about new techniques and procedures, which feeds into our overall eyecare approach to ensure you receive the best eyecare possible.
Eye health starts with you, which is why we begin your exam with a review of your current prescription, any changes you may have noticed, your lifestyle, etc. Little things make a huge difference. During your comprehensive exam we use a carefully selected range of trusted and state of the art equipment to gauge your most accurate prescription. At the end, you’ll have the chance to discuss your glasses options with your optometrist, taking any specific requirements into consideration to ensure optimum results.
