If you’ve never tried LOOL, this is your chance.

We’re clearing out our remaining LOOL inventory: $130 per frame (marked-down price) until sold out. After this, we will no longer carry LOOL, so this is the final run.

Why patients love LOOL:
✔ Lightweight comfort you’ll forget you’re wearing
✔ Clean, modern designs
✔ Great everyday durability and flexibility
✔ Unique colors/shapes to fit your style

The picture shows a handful of options, but we have additional frames not pictured.

Please note: $130 is frame only. Lenses are additional.
Come by to try them on—sale ends when stock is gone.

✨🎄 Iris the Elf Has a Special Reminder for the Season 🎄✨

This morning, Iris the Elf was found cozied up in front of the Christmas tree, reading the Bible and learning about the true reason for the season—the birth of Jesus. ❤️✨

May this season bring peace to you and your family as we reflect on what truly matters. ✝️🎄
