A HUGE shoutout to The Eye Place! They just sent us almost 300 frames to be used for our program! This is absolutely a case of "it takes a village" we would not be able to continue our work without the support of all of our partners big and small! So from us at VFC and our communities we thank you!!

I carry the largest selection of Tomato glasses north of Boston (maybe even south!)! These are THE MOST PRACTICAL eyeglasses made for infants, toddlers, young children --- even adults! Yes, adults --- I have several patients with severe osteoporosis and many with extremely strong prescriptions that need the "hold" of the soft comfort cable tips!
Tomato Glasses are specialized, award-winning frames for babies, toddlers, and children designed for maximum comfort, safety, and adjustability. Made from lightweight (6–9g), non-toxic, and flexible material (TR90), they feature adjustable nose pads, temple lengths, and included head straps to prevent slipping, making them ideal for high-power prescriptions and active kids.
Key Features and Benefits

Highly Adjustable: Nose pads can be adjusted to three different heights to fit developing noses, and temple lengths can be tailored, say Tomato Glasses.
Non-Slip & Secure: Designed to stay in place with a specialized, flexible ear tip and a standard strap, making them suitable for active children.
Lightweight & Durable: Weighing only 6 to 9 grams, these frames are made from safe, non-toxic, and durable materials.
Comfortable Fit: The temple tips are designed to fit the curve of the ear without causing pressure points or pain.

PETITE EYEGLASSES! With a large client base that requires smaller sizes, I've brought in the Nifties eyeglass collection! Having a small face can make it hard to find frames that fit comfortably. That’s where NIFTIES eyewear comes in. Say goodbye to shopping for frames in the kids’ section and explore a large collection of high-quality frames designed for adults with fine facial features.

Feeling great!!! As an aviator, visual acuity cannot be sacrificed. Now a 4 Bar Captain, this pilot has entrusted his eyewear needs to me since 1994. As to his sunglasses, this color provided him with the ideal definition needed such that "WE" saved 143 lives descending into the Beijing Airport during a monsoon.

No better feeling than a 4 Bar Captain (pilot) entrusting me with his eyewear needs! (...actually, since 1994!) And the sunglasses: he swears by this color as it gives him the definition he needs to fly, espeically during less than desirable conditions. Thanks for the pic B.C. :)

Hello again! I got a few messages from my last post, and thought I'd share ~~ maybe you were wondering:
1. Do you carry the big brands names? No...I don't. MANY years ago, we could equate a brand name with excellent quality...sadly, that's not the case any more...so now, the price is high price, but the quality is low. I work with companies that continue to manufacture frames as they have in the past -- better price, better quality.
2. How long does it take to get my glasses? Typically 2-4 business days. Some specialty work takes a little longer.
3. Do you accept insurances / vision care plans? No, I don't (see the graphic on my website for better understanding). I do my best to offer lower prices every day, to everyone, whether you have a plan or not --- and provide itemized receipts for out of network reimbursement...which, in many cases, will result in lower out of pocket expenses and better quality frame and lenses.
4. Will you put lenses in my old frame, or a frame I bought online? Yes! I have put lenses in old frames, VERY inexpensive frames, frames bought at thrift store :) As long as they a structurally sound, I'll do it!
5. Do you sell blue light lenses? Yes, I do....however...I have not found enough white paper research that shows that blue light emitted from a computer is of much consequence. As told to me by one lens manufacturer: spending 15 minutes outside on a sunny day is equivalent to several hours on a computer. My opinion, save the money...if you're not sure, buy a blue light filtering screen protector for your computer instead. Besides...many of the blue light coatings sold are not very durable. Still want them? I can get them :)

Have other questions, shoot me a message or give me a call!
