Eye Clinic: Spectacle Therapy
The primary goal of your eyeglasses is to provide the best vision.Other considerations are that they should stay together in one piece and be readily adjustable. That is why we only use quality frames and lenses. We aviod rimless frames with nuts and bolts as these always come loose. We patronise established manufacturers and distributors with excellent customer care such as Silhouette, Rodenstock, Centennial Optical, Raymond Lanctot, Perfect Optical etc. We carry a wide range of premium frame brands and sun glasses such as Porsche Design, Project 1, Lacoste, Serengeti, Bolle, Lacoste, Mexx, Cole & Hahn, SHOC, OGA, Koali, OWP as well as high quality non-branded frames of similar quaility at a fraction of the cost from the same manufacturers of Italian designer eyewear.
What you should expect to pay for your eyeglasses.
Patients seeking care from optometrists demand the best vision correction possible. With that in mind we can still provide you with excellent value and often our regular everyday day fee is highly competitive with their so called 2 for1 or free lenses "deal". Plus we offer one stop shopping and problem solving, no middleman.
My business model is quite simple, I supply you with eyeglass frames and have the lenses manufactured to my specifications from independent laboratories (Rodenstock, Zeiss, Nikon, Hoya and their industry partners) on your behalf.. This ensures true independent quality assurance.
The end user price is the total of the wholesale cost of frame and lenses plus a fixed professional fee. All lenses come with a non-adapt warranty, you will be happy with your vision. Frames come with a minimum one year warranty against manufacturers defects and bad design.

Let us show you in advance how your eyeglasses will look with Lens Wizard modeling software, the thinnest lens is not always the best option. Some thin lens materials such as polycarbonate (Featherwates(tm) , Airwear(tm)) have noticeably poorer vision in higher prescriptions. The effect is magnified with progressive lenses. There are far better alternatives such as high index materials from our German and Japanese industry partners.
