Now that everyone is spending more time on digital devices it’s important to remember the 20/20/20 rule to keep those eyes feeling less strained and give them a break! It’s also important to make sure that your workstation is set up properly now that you may not be working in your normal space 📱💻

We are still open with reduced hours and may be able to help! We are lucky enough to be one of the few opticals in the area with an in house finishing lab, meaning we can make a pair of glasses from start to finish the same day for many prescriptions. If you need help or have any questions please call us at 518-482-4688
