07/13/10: The BACK-TO-SCHOOL rush is on, & the "Back to School Special" has returned by popular demand! 2 pairs of single vision glasses for only $119! Hard to beat that, especially knowing we're the best optical in town (no bias there at all, right?) If you haven't already done so, NOW is the time to book an
appointment for your children before school starts...that way their new
vision correction can be ready before the 1st day of school (or before
2-a-days for the kids in football & volleyball!). Now is also a
GREAT TIME to consider ORTHO-K for
your children! Probably the most exciting form of vision correction a
child could have...

02/26/2009: "
At Last"! The first significant new bifocal lens design in about 40 years, since the advent of the progressive (line-less bifocal) in the 60's is now here. Pixel Optics has designed a new lens for the bifocal wearer. its called the "
At Last" lens and is a combination of the line-less look of a progressive with the clarity and reading width of a traditional bifocal. It also outperforms BOTH lined bifocals AND progressives at intermediate distances like your computer or instrument panel in your car! We have it available right now and are one of the 1st practices in Texas to make this lens available. Its a premium product and priced like a progressive, but the benefits for most bifocal lens wearers greatly outweigh the cost! Read about it here:

"Air Optix Aqua" contact lenses! Aqua is Ciba's newest silicone hydrogel lens with exceptionable breathability, outstanding optical quality and a design that promotes freedom from end-of-day dryness. Additionally, Aqua is a "monthly" disposable lens which not only saves money but also promotes compliance (its easier to remember to change your lenses at the beginning of the month).
