Welcome to the Optical Shop at Eye Care Institute
Good vision starts with the right pair of glasses and a team that understands how to get it right. At Eye Care Institute in Santa Rosa, California, our on-site optical shop is here to help you find eyewear that fits your style, your prescription, and your everyday needs.
Our services are built around helping you see clearly with eyewear options that match both your vision and your lifestyle. Every pair of glasses you leave with is backed by the medical expertise of our ophthalmologists and optometrist.
Prescription Eyeglasses
We carry more than 1,000 eyeglass frames in a wide range of shapes, materials, and colors. Whether you prefer classic looks or something more modern, our opticians will help you narrow down your options based on your prescription, face shape, and daily activities.
All eyeglasses are dispensed and fitted by our trained optical staff to ensure your lenses are positioned correctly and your frames feel comfortable.
Lenses
We proudly use Essilor lenses, a global leader in vision correction technology. Whether you need single-vision, bifocal, trifocal, or progressive lenses, our team will find the right lenses for you.
We also offer lens enhancements like scratch-resistant coatings, blue light filters, anti-reflective treatments, and transitions that adjust to changing light. Most lenses can be made with or without polarization, depending on how you use them.
Contact Lenses
For patients who prefer not to wear glasses full-time, we also offer a range of contact lens options. This includes daily disposables, extended-wear lenses, and specialty fits for astigmatism or multifocal prescriptions.
If you're new to contacts, we’ll walk you through the fitting process and teach you how to insert, remove, and care for them. You can request refills and reorders through our office.
Sunglasses
We offer a full selection of both prescription and non-prescription sunglasses. You’ll find brands like Ray-Ban, Maui Jim, Coach, and Prada, many of which are available with polarized lenses to reduce glare and feel comfortable in bright light.
Our team can walk you through the differences between lens types and help you choose a pair that works for driving, outdoor sports, or everyday wear.
Eyewear Maintenance & Repairs
Taking care of your glasses helps extend their life and keeps your vision clear. Here are a few simple ways to keep them in top shape:
- Clean your lenses properly:Â Use a microfiber cloth and a lens-safe cleaner. Avoid paper towels, tissues, or clothing, which can scratch the surface.
- Protect your frames:Â Store your glasses in a hard case when not in use and keep them away from heat sources like the dashboard of your car.
- Stop by for quick fixes:Â We handle in-store adjustments like tightening screws, straightening frames, and making sure your glasses sit comfortably.
- Replace only what you need:Â If your lenses are scratched or your frame is damaged, we can help repair or replace just that part.
