*Upcoming changes!* Our credit card rates increased again this spring. After a few months of this (paired with tariff increases on many eyewear products), we've decided to begin implementing a 3% surcharge on all credit card transactions. This will go into effect in all our locations starting Monday, August 4. Small & partial adjustments like this will help us keep price increases at bay. We'd like to remind our awesome customers that paying with cash, checks, or other alternative methods will be easy ways around the fees. Thanks for your understanding! We will make sure we have good signage and "no surprises" when you get to the checkout desk... But we're posting warnings online as well to help everyone be prepared before their appointments.

Other important news: A few of our lilies survived the deer that forage along the highway in Priest River! We're enjoying these blooms as the weather stays cool this week. Hope you're enjoying the pleasant air too!

We are getting more and more questions from our customers about how tariffs are affecting eye care pricing. Last week, we saw soft contact lenses start to creep up in price (virtually all soft contact lenses are imported). All our currently stocked frames are still the same price, but new stock is starting to come in about 5% higher (other than our American-made brands, which are holding steady pricewise!) We're also getting notices from our lens labs that base material is starting to come in at a higher price. Bottom line: July might be the best time to get glasses or stock up on contact lenses. Everything is pointing up from here.

Otherwise... Summer is officially here! If you feel you can't see those fireworks clearly tonight, or find yourself pulling the wrong plants in your garden (woops), it might be time to get your eyes checked! For the past year, we've had a handy online scheduling feature on our website, and it is so convenient for booking those back-to-school or college student appointments. Just keep in mind that if you want us to bill an insurance plan for your appointment, we NEED you to call in your appointment so we can pre-check your plan. We dislike unpleasant surprises as much as you do.

Changed office hours alert!

We had three months of normal clinic hours, and we are back to foggy days again. If you have noticed the dimmed lights and asked yourself, "are they here on Thursdays or not?" the unfortunate answer is, "not right now!" Currently we are in Priest River on Tuesdays from 9am-5pm, and FRIDAYS from 9am-1pm (or later Friday afternoons by appointment).

We are once again on reduced staffing levels. So, with many apologies, please bear with us and call ahead! If you can't make it in to the PR office on Tuesdays or Fridays to pick up your contact lenses, get your glasses repaired, or schedule your exam, please call us. We can arrange for you to be helped in our Sandpoint office (Pend Oreille Vision Care), ship items to your house, or come up with other creative solutions.

We hope you are embracing the clouds and precip, and settling in for a great holiday season. Best wishes to you and all your kin!

Reduced office hours alert! [Don't worry, this is temporary...]

We are on slightly reduced staffing levels right now due to some unforeseen incidents (medical emergencies) combined with planned employee absences (weddings + July 4th + camping trips). While we remain OPEN on Tuesdays, for the next month or so, we simply don't have the womanpower to open our doors on Thursdays.

Please bear with us and plan accordingly! If you can't make it in to the PR office on Tuesdays to pick up your contact lenses, get your glasses repaired, or schedule your exam, please call us. We can arrange for you to be helped in our Sandpoint office, ship items to your house, or come up with other creative solutions.

We hope to be open on Thursdays again by the end of July. Thanks SO much for your patience! We hope you too are getting outside between the rainshowers to enjoy the last spring flowers!
