At our optical, we offer a wide variety of lens options to fit your prescription and your visual demands. Daphnee, our optician, and Dr. Garibyan take pride in constantly learning about and utilizing the latest technologically advanced products in our optical. Most people are aware of designer frames, but some fail to recognize that there are also different brands of eyeglass lenses. Your frame design makes you look good, but it does not determine how well you will see. Since it is the quality and design of the lens that gives you clear, comfortable, precise vision, we choose very carefully to only provide designer lens brands that perform well.

Single vision lenses give you correction for specific distances. With the help of digital lens surfacing, we now can provide crisper vision even peripherally through even very high prescriptions. Our “smart” lenses offer more high definition vision and larger viewing zones when compared to traditionally designed lenses.

We prescribe specialty single vision with near fatigue reduction lenses for those who have significant near tasks on a computer, smartphone, or tablet – basically everyone. In the last few years, viewing ranges have dramatically changed to primarily near tasks. This lens design alleviates eyestrain and significantly reduces fatigue caused by our everyday near task routines without disturbing our distance vision.

If you spend most of your day in front of the computer, you likely suffer from Computer Vision Syndrome. For those who do, we focus on the lens designs that eliminate the strain specifically caused by tasks at arm’s length. In addition, we customize your computer lenses with tints and coatings that reduce glare and enhance vision on digital media. We discuss your workspace and make recommendations for simple changes that can lead to less discomfort at the end of your work day. 

For those who require different prescriptions for different distances, we provide progressive – “no line” eyeglasses that provide clear comfortable vision at any distance. We use designer brand progressive lenses that are digitally surfaced on the front and back to provide not only a more comfortable transition between far and near distances, but a much wider viewing zone and virtual elimination of the swaying sensation in peripheral vision. The advances in lens design technology make it possible for us to customize these lens designs even more specifically to your needs. Together we examine your specific tasks, working distances, and your frame so your progressive is truly meant for you! 

In some cases, we use the traditional lined bifocals or trifocals for those who require different prescriptions for different distances. These lenses optimize vision only 2 or 3 different distances. These are available in a “smart” design as well that optimizes peripheral vision. 

At our office we carry a variety of eyeglass accessories. We offer lens cleaners to help you appropriately care for your lenses and chains /Spec Secure clips to keep you from losing your glasses when you are not using them.

Depending on your prescription and frame type, we will recommend the lens material that will maximize durability and performance and also make your lenses lighter and thinner than ever before. We typically use trivex or hi-index lenses for maximum performance. These types of lens materials also have UVA and UVB protection.

We offer a variety of lens coatings. The most crucial is anti-glare treatment. This eliminates reflections so others can see your eyes better. But, more importantly, it eliminates reflections so you can see better at any light conditions. We use premium anti-glare treatments to scratch proof your lenses as well as repel dirt and dust to make cleaning your lenses easier.

We offer clear UV coating for those who want additional sun protection without darkening the lenses. However, most people do prefer tint in their lenses when they are in direct sunlight. Polarized lenses offer maximum protection as they block UV rays directly coming toward your eyes and as they bounce from other objects around you. Depending on how and where you will be using your sun protective lens determines what the best option is for you. An additional separate pair of prescription sunglasses that always remain tinted are a good option for some. Variable tinted driving sunglasses are available for those who need sunglasses that will actually change tint color with varying lighting conditions on the road. For others, photochromic lenses that are completely clear indoors and dark in direct sunlight is a good feature to have. Now, we have photochromic lenses that darken slightly in the car while still remaining clear indoors. Recent technological advances have even given us lenses that polarize as they get darker to give the ultimate in protection against all harmful UV rays at all possible conditions. Separate clip on sunglasses can be custom made to fit any frames.

Virtually all types of prescriptions can be corrected with contact lens parameters currently available. We have lenses for nearsighteness, farsightedness, astigmastism, and presbyopia. Contact lenses offer benefits such as clear peripheral vision and physical freedom of not having glasses on. Now, we even have multifocal (progressive) lens designs that can successfully correct both far and near vision at the same time in each eye for those who previously had no choice but to use reading glasses over their distance contact lenses. Dr. Garibyan has been successfully fitting many of our patients with this revolutionary lens design since it came on the market not too long ago. Based on how often and in what setting you plan to use your contact lenses, we have a wide variety of options for the contact lens material as well. Soft contact lens types range from daily disposable available for one time use to extended wear lenses that you can wear multiple times. Now, we even have soft lenses that are safe and comfortable to sleep in for most people. For those patients with irregular corneas as a result of keratoconnus, injury, or refractive surgery, Dr. Garibyan may recommend use of gas permeable (hard) contact lenses. Whether you wish to accentuate your eye color or to completely change it, cosmetic color contact lenses are also available at our office either in daily disposable to multiple use types. To Dr. Garibyan, it is a priority to stay educated and provide the newest advances in contact lens manufacturing directly to her patients. Because of this, in her practice you can count on being fitted only with the most breathable, most comfortable, and optically superior contact lenses available.
