Elevate your everyday with luxury eyewear styles from iconic brands. At Alexander Daas Opticians, our eyewear styling services carry an individualized approach to every consultation. Our experienced opticians walk you through different eyewear styles, sizes, materials and shapes to ensure you find the best sunglasses and/or eyeglasses based on your lifestyle needs so you see clearly and feel great, and help determine the best types of lenses for your lifestyle and vision needs.
We believe great care cannot be hurried. That’s why every appointment should be tailored to your unique needs.
Comprehensive eye exams go beyond a simple vision check and can include screening for common eye diseases such as glaucoma and cataracts. They can also identify vision issues and provide accurate prescriptions for reading glasses, nearsightedness, or progressive lenses.
During an eye exam, the independent optometrist may use retinal imaging and diagnostic tools to take high-resolution images of your eyes. These images are used to detect diseases and accurately monitor common eye conditions. The three most common imaging modalities are fundus photography, corneal imaging, and optical coherence tomography (OCT).
Are contact lenses a better fit for your lifestyle? Contact lens exams can include custom fittings and specialty lens prescriptions based on your vision needs. Alexander Daas Opticians partners with Contacts Portal, a third party, to provide our clients with a source for the most competitive pricing on contact lenses.
If you notice a sudden change in vision, an infection, or any painful sensations in the eyes, don't wait. An optometrist can often assess eye emergencies and provide appropriate care to help prevent complications.
Myopia is commonly referred to as nearsightedness. Studies have shown its progression can be slowed with special eyewear, contact lenses, and/or eye drops. If you have myopia, consult an independent optometrist to discuss options for managing its progression. Myopia management is typically recommended at an early age to help prevent future complications such as retinal detachments and glaucoma.
Dry eyes can occur for a variety of reasons. Symptoms include redness, stinging, burning, and paradoxically watering of your eyes. A thorough dry eye evaluation can help determine the cause of the discomfort and identify appropriate treatment options. Treatment may include prescription eye drops, amniotic membranes, Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) therapy, and bipolar radiofrequency (RF) treatments.

Even if you have no issues with your eyesight, you should schedule regular eye exams with an independent optometrist at least once a year. Regular eye exams are an essential part of your overall wellness and can protect you from serious health issues. In some cases, an independent optometrist may detect early signs of health conditions such as diabetes or high blood pressure.
A prescription for glasses is typically valid for one year. The expiration date varies based on your age and specific eye needs.
