Pair idea for the 2 for 1: make the second pair prescription sunglasses. Fall sun sits low and hits straight on, so a dedicated sun pair earns its keep on every drive. One for inside, one for the glare, one visit. See store for details: https://buff.ly/YLNWAyy

The days are getting noticeably shorter, and low light is where small vision problems stop being small: night driving feels harder, reading takes more effort, screens strain faster. If dusk at dinnertime has your eyes working overtime, a fall exam is the fix: https://buff.ly/PI77dv7

Blue light gets the blame for screen fatigue, but the evidence points elsewhere: screens make us blink less and lock our focus at one distance for hours. That's what causes the strain. Regular breaks, conscious blinking and an up-to-date prescription do more than any tint. If your eyes are tired by 3 pm, an exam is the place to start: https://buff.ly/f0s8bar

See the whiteboard. See the road home. See the leaves turn. Every part of the day deserves to be seen clearly. See Better.

Ever tried to reorder lenses and been told the prescription has expired? Prescriptions carry an expiry date, usually two years and sometimes one, because eyes change over time. If yours has lapsed, a quick exam updates it and checks the health of your eyes at the same time: https://buff.ly/f0s8bar

One week left on the back-to-school event: up to 70% off all frames plus the $50 coupon, until September 30. Frames take a few days to arrive once ordered, so this week is the sensible time to choose a pair. See store for details, terms and conditions apply.
