When you pick up one of our frames, something is usually immediately noticeable. The weight. The way the hinges move. The way the color isn't painted on the surface but goes all the way through the material.

That's not an accident. That's what handmade actually means.

Most frames sold in the US, even the ones with designer names on them, come out of the same handful of large factories. The brand is a label. The frame is a product.

The makers we carry work differently. Small studios. Limited runs. Artisans who finish each frame by hand and have been doing it the same way for decades. Italy, Japan, Spain, the US. Places where someone's name is attached to what they make and that matters to them.

We spend a lot of time finding these makers. We only bring in what we'd actually wear ourselves. And we think it shows.

Frames are something you put on your face every single day. They should be worth it.

Come try some on. We love talking about where they come from.

👀 Go ahead... zoom in.

Did you catch the tiny text? It might just change the way you think about eye exams.

Most people think an eye exam is only about updating their prescription, but it's so much more than that. Your eyes can provide valuable insights into your overall health, helping detect early signs of conditions like diabetes, high blood pressure, and autoimmune diseases.

Sometimes, your healthiest decision starts with looking a little closer. ✨

Don't just check your vision, check on your health, too.

Let's talk about something that sounds way scarier than it actually is. Mites on your eyelids (aka Demodex Blepharitis).

Demodex are microscopic mites that can live on your lids. They're a completely normal part of your skin's ecosystem, the same way certain bacteria live on your skin everywhere else on your body. Having them doesn't mean you did anything wrong or that you're not clean enough.

The issue isn't having them. It's having too many.

When the population grows beyond a normal amount, it's called demodex blepharitis, and that's when symptoms show up. Itching right along the lash line that just won't quit. Vision that fluctuates throughout the day. Styes that keep coming back no matter what you do. A gritty, irritated feeling that drops never seem to fully fix.

If any of that sounds familiar, this might be exactly what's been going on.

The good news is this is very treatable. We can actually see these under magnification during an exam, which is how we confirm what's happening. And there are now targeted treatments specifically designed to reduce the population back down to a normal, healthy level.

If you've been dealing with chronic lash line itching, recurring styes, or vision that just doesn't feel stable, let's take a look. There's a good chance we'll find your answer. 💙

19% of all fireworks injuries are eye injuries. And in 2024, those injuries jumped 58% from the year before.

You don't have to be the one lighting them to get hurt. Bystanders, especially kids, are at just as much risk. Fireworks misfire, they shoot sideways and being nearby is not the same as being safe.

Stay safe out there this weekend!

I call this series of events an “ocular surface refresh” and once you understand what it actually does, you'll get why I think more people need it.

Your eyelid margins build up debris over time. Dead skin cells, oil, makeup residue, even allergens, can sit right along your lash line and lower lid. Over time that buildup can actually keratinize, which means it hardens and forms a layer right on the edge of your lid. That layer can sit directly over your meibomian glands and block them from doing their job. The first part of this treatment is gently removing that keratinized debris from the lower lid margin.

Next is a @‌Rinsada treatment. This gentle but high pressure flush removes debris, allergens and biofilm from the upper and lower fornix of the eye. Flushing this out can really help patients dealing with ongoing irritation or allergy symptoms that never seem to fully resolve.

Then we finish with a lid treatment that clears any remaining debris right along the lash line itself, where so much buildup happens.

Patients are always surprised by how much was actually there. And even more surprised by how different their eyes feel afterward.

If your eyes have felt chronically irritated, itchy, or just off no matter what you try at home, this might be exactly what's missing. Come see us! 💙

The short answer…no!
Your glasses sit about 12 millimeters away from the surface of your eye but your contact lenses sit directly on the surface of your eye. That distance, as small as it sounds, actually changes the way light bends and focuses on your retina. So the power needed to correct your vision is slightly different depending on where the lens is sitting.

For lower prescriptions the difference is small enough that it often doesn't matter much. But for higher prescriptions, that gap between where your glasses sit and where your contact lens sits becomes significant enough that using the same number would actually give you the wrong correction.

There's also more to a contact lens prescription than just the power.

Your glasses prescription tells us how strong your lenses need to be. Your contact lens prescription includes that, but it also tells us the base curve, which is the curvature of the lens and how it fits the shape of your eye, and the diameter, which is the size of the lens. Every eye is shaped a little differently and a contact lens that doesn't fit properly doesn't just feel uncomfortable. It can affect your vision, reduce oxygen to your cornea, and cause problems over time.

That's also why you can't just take your glasses prescription to any website and order contacts without a proper contact lens fitting. A fitting isn't just a formality. It's how we make sure the lens actually works for your specific eye, not just your prescription number.

If you've ever wondered why your eye doctor does a separate fitting for contacts, now you know. It's not an extra step for the sake of it. It genuinely matters for how well you see and how comfortable you feel!
