Imagine…

Going to your Optician, handing them your prescription, and getting comfortable in a stress-free optical “living room”. The Optician assesses your needs based on your prescription, your present eyewear fit and function, and any wants you have defined. They then pull dozens of frames in your size…and let you know that you may not like all of them, but that they all give information as to where to go next. It’s an optical journey! You try on LOTS of frames-and love so many of them! We help you whittle down the choices with a tried and true method until you’re down to just a few frames. Then we further examine color, fit, and how these frames will work with your needs and lifestyle.

Next…lenses! The Optician explains the different options, and you arrive at decisions on lens design based on what kind of tool you wish the eyewear to be. An everyday progressive for all focal lengths? Sun wear for golf or boating? Cycling glasses? Task glasses for use at the computer or piano? We can literally find a lens for any lifestyle need. Careful measurements are taken-the prescription is only part of the story in making lenses. We finalize all of the important choices that go into a new pair of eyewear, and send them to the best lab in the USA for production.

An individualized fitting is booked when your glasses arrive. We check to make sure your sight is great and the fit is immaculate. Then we talk a bit about care and maintenance of your new eyewear and lenses.

You leave with an amazing new pair of glasses that are perfect vision wise, and turn heads to boot!

FAQs

Where can I find glasses that look like ME…not like every other person I see walking down the street?

You’ve found the answer! Lakeway Optical Shoppe doesn’t sell Big Box brands that you see in most stores. Our buyer scours the planet for the best quality, most diverse selection, in the coolest materials, colors and textures.

I have a strong prescription…but I don’t want thick lenses or heavy glasses. What are my options?

While there are lots of “ingredients” that go into a successful pair of eyewear, frame shape and the materials used can drastically alter the finished product. Your Optician will educate you as to the options and differences so that your glasses meet your expectations.

I spend hours a day on my computer for work. Is there a lens that will help me with this intermediate focal length?

There is! There are great options for those of us who are on devices much of the day. Let’s talk about how to make your workday easier with a computer lens! These are also fantastic task lenses for musicians, cooks…anyone who needs a great reading/intermediate lens.
