😎 Deal 1:$50 off nonprescription sunglasses and $100 off prescription sunglasses now through 12/13/25. 😎

Sunglasses are just as important in the winter to protect your eyes and provide comfort when driving on those bright, sunny, snowy days! We offer brands such as Rayban, Oakley, Prada, Kate Spade, Michael Kors, Vera Wang, and Brooks Brothers. Deal cannot be combined with any other offers or insurance discounts.


🎉 Deal 2: Sign up for 4 sessions of IPL by 12/31/25 and receive a free 3 month bottle of PRN DE3 Omega 3! (Valued at $175).

Intense pulsed light therapy (IPL) is an in-office treatment that addresses the root cause of dry eye by improving the function of the meibomian (oil) glands and reducing inflammation. Give us a call if you are interested in more information or would like to schedule this treatment.
