June is Child Vision Awareness Month, and it’s a perfect reminder that kids’ eyes are still developing. Early exams support reading, focus, and confidence—and kids often don’t realize they’re missing clarity.

If you’ve noticed squinting, headaches, or “close-to-the-screen” habits, it may be time for a check. Clear vision supports everything they do.

Save this and schedule a kid vision visit when you’re ready.

Great frames do two things: they look like you and they feel good all day. Face shape helps, but so does bridge fit, weight, and how your frames sit during talking, smiling, and moving.

We’ll help you find a pair that doesn’t slide, pinch, or leave marks—because comfort is part of confidence.

Tell us your vibe: bold, classic, minimalist, or sporty.

Happy Featured Frame Friday! This week we are showcasing the Thompson frame from STATE Optical!

All of their frames are made right here in the Midwest at their Chicago factory. Each frame is handcrafted from premium, globally sourced materials to be a genuine expression of one’s personal style and distinct personality.

This frame is named after Chicago’s Thompson Center, a post-modern architectural landmark known for its bold design. The Thompson features a geometric eye shape and is shown in color juniper. Stop by for a try-on today!

Tired eyes can come from a lot of places—screen time, allergies, sleep, dryness, or a prescription shift. The key is noticing patterns: does it happen at the end of the day, or all day? Does it improve with breaks?

If fatigue is constant, an exam can clarify what’s driving it and what will help. You shouldn’t have to push through daily discomfort.

Save this and book a check if your eyes have been “working too hard.”

Happy Featured Frame Friday, this one is a his and hers double feature from Ray-Ban!

Ray-Ban was founded in 1936 with the goal of developing glasses that cut out glare for pilots, but they have since become a pop-culture icon. Their frames have been featured on album covers, in magazines, and on fashion runways.

Frame RB-3765 is featured in colors polished copper with pink/brown lenses and polished black with green lenses. These glasses have adjustable nose pads for a personalized fit. Stop by for a try-on today!

Accessibility matters—especially when it comes to vision. Simple changes like larger text, higher contrast, screen readers, and better lighting can make daily life easier and reduce eye fatigue.

If you’ve been struggling with comfort while reading or using devices, you’re not alone. We’re big believers in matching tools to your real life.

Kids don’t always know they’re seeing poorly—they just assume that’s normal. If your child sits close to screens, squints, avoids reading, or seems easily frustrated with schoolwork, vision could be a factor.

Regular exams help catch changes early and support confidence in and out of the classroom. Clear sight supports learning, sports, and everyday life.

Save this as your parent checklist and schedule a vision check if you’re unsure.

Today we participated in the Stomp Out Stigma Walk, an event aimed at reducing the negative stigma surrounding mental health. This walk is part of the “be nice.” program, which utilizes a 4-step plan (Notice, Invite, Challenge, and Empower) to help people recognize signs of mental health concerns, encourage seeking help, and foster supportive communities that allow for open discussion of mental health.

Together we can all make a difference in mental health support and su***de prevention.

Happy Featured Frame Friday! This week we are showcasing the Lisa-7 frame from Morel.

Morel holds the title of oldest family-owned eye wear design company. The brand was founded by Jules Morel in 1880 in the heart of the Upper Jura mountains in France, where their headquarters is still located 3 generations later!

This frame features a classic cat-eye shape and tri-color design reminiscent of a calico cat. Stop by for a try-on today!

Cloudy doesn’t mean UV-free. UV rays still reach your eyes even when the sun isn’t “out,” and long-term exposure adds up over time.

Choose sunglasses that block 100% UVA/UVB, and consider polarized lenses if glare bothers you. Protecting your eyes should be as automatic as sunscreen—year-round.

Share this with someone who only wears sunglasses on “sunny” days.
