Remember we're always happy to answer any questions you have and help you find the best options for your eyewear needs.

While it's hard to beat a good bargain, chasing the lowest price on contact lenses may not be worth it. Cheap, non-prescription or counterfeit contacts may cause:
◽ Corneal abrasions
◽ Eye infections
◽ Toxin exposure
Only prescribed, FDA-approved lenses are safe. Stick with trusted retailers, a valid prescription and your eye doctor’s advice. https://www.allaboutvision.com/eyewear/contact-lenses/cheap-contacts/

𝓑𝓪𝓬𝓴-𝓽𝓸-𝓢𝓬𝓱𝓸𝓸𝓵 𝓽𝓲𝓶𝓮... Parents, we know the back-to-school list is long, but don’t forget your child's vision and eye health! Prepare them for their school year by ensuring they have their annual eye health examination. Eye screenings and family doctor evaluations are NOT a complete eye exam, and don’t detect all eye/vision issues.

Call or go online to schedule an eye exam. www.AEPeyecare.com
