What Exactly Is Presbyopia?

If you notice a loss of near vision, then you are probably experiencing presbyopia. Multifocal contact lenses may be exactly what you are looking for! You will be able to enjoy the advantages of contacts, and ditch your reading glasses when reading or writing.

Eye Focus on Vision

We offer comprehensive medical eye exams performed with the most up-to-date equipment. Our practice has over 75 combined years of experience and continues to provide the best quality, care, and customer service to every one of our patients.

How is Glaucoma Treated?

Early diagnosis and treatment of glaucoma can often mean the difference between vision and blindness. If you are diagnosed with glaucoma the goal is to prevent loss of vision. At Eyes On 40, our eye doctors offer numerous treatment options for glaucoma.

Our Patients Say It Best!

Being a customer for a lens was a most satisfying experience. The office is very bright, and is staffed with many friendly workers. The lens was ready in a timely fashion, and James was not only a knowledgeable and helpful person, but also a fun person with whom to work.

Just picked out new glasses. Had an awesome experience with Janice. Hard for me to pick out new glasses. She found the perfect frames for me. Patiently worked through figuring out my insurance and placing the order(which was also complicated) too. Had me look at photos of each set of frames on my phone. Very helpful!

The location is further from me but my insurance basically made this location more affordable to me. I had no problem checking in but if you are going for contacts be aware of the small writing and extra cost associated with contacts. The Dr was very knowledgeable about my eyes and showing me examples of what he was looking for and how my eyes compared. I will say the staff that helps with your pair of glasses (picking it out) will look for what looks good on you, but make sure you look at the cost. I noticed when I picked out some inexpensive pairs of glasses and received "help", I ended up with glasses that cost near $400-$500 instead of $199. So just be mindful that you let people know what your price range is for glasses. I did end up saving over $300 at the end (showed a comparison of what you are paying vs what you would have paid without the discounts) It is not a bad location but definitely good for those who have insurance that works with this company where you can save a lot of money
