As it turns out, we don’t accept vision insurance. But you can still shop with us!
Here’s how:
Submit our invoice to your insurance company as “out-of-network.” Your insurer will provide a simple form which asks you to itemize your purchases. Itemization just means you list how much you paid for the frames, lenses and coatings.
How much you’re covered for varies, so check with your insurer for more details.
When properly maintained, your prescription eyeglass lenses will provide many years of enjoyment. Here are some important steps to keep your lenses in pristine condition:
Remember: clothing, facial tissue, and paper towels are NOT suitable for cleaning your lenses. It may be tempting, but the risk of scratching your lenses is too high. Scratches can not be buffed out, so the damage is permanent.
Talk to us, or your eye-care professional about lens coatings such as Zeiss DuraVision Platinum. This high-quality coating is an optimal solution that encompasses anti-reflection, scratch resistance, and dust/oil repellent qualities to make your cleaning routine much easier.
Ultraviolet radiation (UVR) is the light most frequently linked to health problems. Unfortunately for residents of Planet Earth, more than 95% of this damaging light is not filtered through our atmosphere and reaches the surface. This dangerous range known as UVA (between 315 – 400nm), is responsible for most of the problems associated with sun-exposure because these waves penetrate deeply into the body.
Windows in most homes and offices use tempered glass. Tempered glass blocks only 30% of UV. The latest energy-efficient windows are much better, yet they only attenuate 80%. Most people are unaware that fluorescent lights also emit UV, which has been shown to damage skin cells in laboratory experiments.
Polycarbonate – the most commonly sold lens material – lacks the ability to block UV light. Unless you’re equipped with ZEISS lenses.
ZEISS is leading the industry once again by offering full UV protection on all ZEISS clear plastic lenses, offering the same level of UV protection as their top sun lenses. This is something that no other manufacturer is doing. UV protection will help protect your eyes and eyelids from all UV: inside or outside.
We hope all of our customers recognize the danger of UV and take appropriate precautions to maintain the best health of their skin and eyes.
We get this question quite often: what’ the PD? The pupil distance (PD) is the distance between the pupils, measured in millimeters.
The PD is used to make sure your children’s prescription lenses are centered properly in relation to their eyes. With your kid’s prescription lenses properly centered, they will be looking through the optical center of the lens, giving them the sharpest image and most comfort.
