Focused Care with 1-on-1 Consultations
Your glasses should fit your life, not just your prescription. That is why we take a personalized approach to every fitting. At Downtown Eye Care, most frame and lens consultations are booked by appointment, giving you dedicated time with a skilled optical technician.
During your visit, we take the time to understand your daily routine, style preferences, and specific visual needs. Whether you need lightweight lenses for screen time, anti-glare options for night driving, or frames that reflect your personality.
Wide Range of Lens Options & Treatments
We carry an extensive selection of lenses to meet your specific needs, including:
- Anti-reflective coatings to reduce glare and improve clarity
- Scratch-resistant coatings for durability
- Aspheric lenses for thinner, lighter vision correction
- Blue light filters to protect against digital eye strain
- Digital lenses designed for screen use comfort
- High index lenses for strong prescriptions with a slimmer profile
- Multifocal, bifocal, and progressive lenses for clear vision at all distances
- Photochromic lenses that darken outdoors and clear indoors
- Prism lenses for eye alignment issues
- UV-blocking coatings to protect your eyes from harmful rays
We also offer specialty glasses such as computer glasses optimized for screen use and driving glasses designed to reduce glare and enhance night vision.
Protect Your Eyes from Digital Eye Strain
Spending hours on phones, computers, or tablets can take a toll on your eyes. Digital eye strain, also known as computer vision syndrome, can cause headaches, sore or watery eyes, light sensitivity, and even neck or back pain.
Our team can recommend digital lenses and blue light-blocking coatings designed to help reduce strain, improve your sleep schedule, and support healthy vision throughout your day. If screen time is a regular part of your routine, we can help protect your eyes and keep you feeling your best.
Tips to Reduce Digital Eye Strain
You can try some of the following tips to find relief from digital eye strain:
- Take regular breaks to blink and rest your eyes
- Follow the 20-20-20 rule: every 20 minutes, look at something 20 feet away for 20 seconds
- Maintain good posture and ergonomics at your workstation
- Adjust screen brightness and font size for comfortable viewing
- Use anti-glare coatings on your lenses or screen protectors
