Our on-site lab gives us a significant advantage for many orders! Single-vision lenses can often be completed in just a few days rather than the typical 1-2 weeks you'd experience elsewhere. Progressive and specialty lenses may take a bit longer since they require more complex manufacturing, but we still maintain better control over the timeline and quality. When you order, we'll give you a specific timeframe based on your prescription and lens type. Plus, if any adjustments are needed after pickup, we can handle those immediately right here in our lab.

We're a full-service vision center, so we can do both! If you have a current, valid prescription from another provider, you're welcome to bring it in and we'll help you find the perfect frames and lenses. However, if your prescription is expired or you'd like a comprehensive eye exam with us, we'd be happy to schedule that first. Many patients prefer having everything done in one location—exam, frame selection, and on-site finishing—for the most seamless experience. Plus, when we do your exam, we can take precise measurements tailored to the specific frames you choose.

That's where having a local optician with an on-site lab really shines! We're here for adjustments, repairs, and quick fixes whenever you need them—no shipping your glasses away for weeks. Whether your frames need tightening, nose pads need replacing, or you've had a minor break, stop by and we'll assess what we can do. Many repairs can be handled same-day. For our Mount Washington Valley community, we understand you need reliable eyewear for work, driving these mountain roads, and enjoying outdoor activities—we'll get you back to clear vision fast.

Absolutely! Living in the Mount Washington Valley means skiing, hiking, and spending time outdoors, so we stock frames that can keep up with your lifestyle. We carry sport-specific options as well as durable everyday frames that hold up to active use. We can also discuss lens options like impact-resistant polycarbonate, anti-reflective coatings to reduce glare on the slopes, and photochromic lenses that adapt to changing light conditions. During your fitting, let us know about your hobbies and daily activities so we can recommend frames and lenses that truly work for your life.

That's exactly what our trained licensed Opticians are for. Our team will help you explore different styles based on your face shape, personal style, and lifestyle needs. We'll guide you through options—whether you're looking for classic, trendy, professional, or sporty—and take the time to find frames that feel comfortable and look great. We also consider practical factors like your prescription strength (some styles work better for higher prescriptions) and how you'll be using your glasses. There's no rush; we want you to feel confident in your choice since you'll be wearing these every day.

Yes, we work with most major vision insurance plans and are happy to help you understand your benefits before you commit to a purchase. Bring your insurance card to your appointment, and we'll verify your coverage for frames, lenses, and any upgrades you're considering. We'll explain what's covered, any out-of-pocket costs, and help you maximize your benefits. Even if we're not in-network with your specific plan, we can often provide you with the documentation you need to submit for out-of-network reimbursement. Our goal is to make quality eyewear accessible and affordable for our Mount Washington Valley neighbors.
