What do we love about Silhouettes?

The House of Gucci has officially arrived at the Crozet Eye Care Optical Shop! I am excited to announce that we now carry the 2012-13 Gucci designer line of eyeglass frames. Gucci is one of the most famous brands in the world and one of the most renowned in the eyewear market.

Do you remember back in May when the temperatures were warm, we were planning trips to the beach, and I talked about the importance of protecting your eyes with quality sunglasses? While the lazy days of summer may be distant memories, that certainly doesn't mean it's time to stop thinking about protecting your eyes.

Everyone loves a sale, and we are no exception! So, for a limited time we're offering a collection of fabulous frames from Beausoleil on sale for you!  

Crafted in Europe, the Beausoleil collection is chic, stylish and exceptionally fashionable. Constructed with an old school regard for quality accompanied by the latest high tech techniques, they are truly designer eyewear at its best.  These frames are gorgeous, and right now they are extremely economical, as well. 

Stop by to check out these beautiful frames any time during business hours.  I'd love to show you what we have to offer!

Every eyeglass wearer has had the experience of walking into a building after being outside and suddenly everything is a blur because your glasses have fogged up. It’s inevitable when temperatures between indoors and outdoors differentiate so much. It’s just a fact of life, right? Well, not anymore!

As an optician I am passionate about your eyewear providing you with the absolute best vision. I also feel strongly, however, that eyewear doesn’t have to be just a vehicle to better vision. It can – and should be - a fashion accessory too. Even more so than a beautiful watch or stunning cufflinks, your eyewear can be your ultimate personal accessory – commanding more attention than any other piece because they are right there in (on) your face.

I have to admit that I get pretty excited when new optical products are released. (Given my job, that’s a good thing, right?) Actually, everyone in the office has been buzzing about this one for weeks – and the wait is finally over. The new Transitions® Vantage™ Adaptive Lenses are here!

This latest addition to the Transitions® family of products, which we’ve been fans of for a long time, are the first and only lenses designed to both darken and polarize upon ultraviolet (UV) exposure.

This week's hot weather reminds us that summer will be here before we know it.  For most of us this means more time outdoors and protecting ourselves from the sun’s UV (ultra-violet) rays will be on all our minds. Unfortunately, most people think only about the protection of their skin and completely disregard the safety of their eyes. In fact, a survey conducted by the American Optometric Association (AOA) found that only one-third of Americans said UV protection is the most important factor they consider when purchasing sunglasses.

In more than 30 years of experience as an optician, I’ve seen a lot of eyewear trends come and go.  I’m amazed at the incredible options that are now available to eyeglass wearers and am proud that we are able to offer more than 600 frames in the Crozet Eye Care Optical Shop.

Carrying such a wide variety of frames assures that I can always help you find the perfect frames for your visual, stylistic and budget needs.  Whether you’re searching for a trendy look from designers like Kate Spade and Juicy Couture, a classic look from Silhouette or something for the kids like our fun Disney line – I can help you and your family find frames you will look and feel great in.

In addition to carrying the highest quality eyeglass frames, we also offer the latest lens technologies available on the market, as well as a large variety of prescription and non-prescription sunglasses. Our full-service Optical Shop can fill all prescriptions – even if it didn’t come from our optometrist – and we’re always happy to help with repairs and adjustments.

So if you’re ready for new glasses or sunglasses, stop by and see me. No appointment required – just drop by whenever you’re ready to shop! I look forward to helping you pick out the perfect pair.
