Our opticians measure your face, your prescription and how you wear your glasses, then help you choose from frames by independent makers. Adjustments after that are on us, for as long as you own them.
Fit is a measurement before it’s a look.
FIT.01READ YOUR FRAME
Three numbers inside the arm tell you most of the fit.
Take off the glasses you’re wearing and look inside the left arm. Somewhere near the hinge are three numbers. Set them below, tell us how that pair fits, and we’ll suggest where to start.
Front view, drawn to scale from your numbers: eye size, bridge, and an estimate of the full front width.
Side view of the temple arm, drawn to scale from the temple length.
A starting point, not a fitting
Try frames around
50–5417–19 145
- Within about 2 mm of eye size and 1 mm of bridge, most frames feel like the pair you have.
Front width about 132 mm (two lenses, the bridge, and about 5 mm for each hinge end).
Or bring your pair in any time. We’ll measure it and adjust it, free.
IDX.02SIX SHAPES
Six shapes, each drawn to its size line.
Every frame on our wall falls somewhere among these six. The sizes are typical examples, not rules, and the advice is what our opticians say most often at the mirror.
MOD. 01C.031
Round
47 by 22, temple 145
C.031 Blonde Havana
A small round eye with a wider bridge. Softens a square jaw or a strong brow.
Optician’s ruleSmall eye sizes are kind to strong prescriptions: less lens out at the edge to thicken.
MOD. 04C.214
Panto
49 by 20, temple 145
C.214 Amber Havana
A round with a flatter top that follows the brow. The easy first step away from rectangles.
Optician’s ruleIf the top of the frame sits right on your brow line, the size is usually close.
MOD. 07C.102
Rectangle
54 by 17, temple 145
C.102 Dark Havana
Long and level. Works with round or soft features, and the taller versions suit progressives.
Optician’s ruleProgressive lenses need lens depth for the reading zone, so we measure that too, not just these numbers.
MOD. 11C.517
Cat-eye
51 by 19, temple 140
C.517 Honey Crystal
Lifts at the outer corner. Draws the eye up and out; a lighter crystal keeps it gentle.
Optician’s ruleThe upswept corner should end near the tail of your brow, not above it.
MOD. 15C.088
Browline
50 by 21, temple 145
C.088 Tortoise and Gunmetal
A heavy acetate brow over a thin metal rim. Adjustable nose pads let us fine-tune how it sits.
Optician’s ruleNose pads make the bridge number less critical: we can move them a millimeter at a time.
MOD. 19C.640
Aviator
58 by 14, temple 140
C.640 Gold and Amber
Big teardrop lenses on a thin double bridge. A classic for sunglasses.
Optician’s ruleA big eye size means thicker edges on a strong nearsighted prescription. Mild prescriptions and sun lenses are its sweet spot.
Model numbers and color codes on this page are invented for this concept, in the style printed inside real frames. Drawings are to scale with each other.
Frames from small makers, fitted by hand.
Our frames come from independent makers, most of them small workshops that cut acetate from sheet and polish it by hand. You won’t find the names you see at every mall, and we’ll always tell you why one frame suits you better than another.
- Acetate and titaniumLight, adjustable, and repairable. Most can be refitted for years.
- A kids’ wallSpring hinges, and impact-resistant lenses in every pair.
- Your frame, new lensesIf it’s sound, we’ll check it can take them.
An eye exam is a health check that also writes your prescription.
Glaucoma, diabetes and high blood pressure can all show up in the eye before you notice anything. So the hour covers your eye health as carefully as the glasses.
The hour, measuredabout 60 min, longer with contacts
STEP 1 OF 6MIN 0ABOUT 5 MIN
History
Your health, your medications, family history of glaucoma or macular degeneration, and how you use your eyes all day.

An automated first reading of your prescription, eye pressure, photos of the retina, and a quick check of side vision.

Refraction
The “better one, or two?” part. It fine-tunes the prescription for glasses.

How your eyes focus, move and work together. It matters most for kids, readers and screen work.

CL.03CONTACT LENS FITTINGS
A contact lens has a size line too.
A fitting measures the curve and size of your cornea, tries lenses on, and checks them again after a week of real life. You leave with a copy of your contact lens prescription, and you can buy lenses anywhere.
MD.04MEDICAL VISITS
Red, painful, or suddenly full of floaters? Call first.
Optometrists treat a lot more than blurry vision: infections, scratches, dry eye, allergies, and the monitoring that glaucoma and diabetes need. Medical visits are billed to your health insurance, not your vision plan.
Call the office(405) 555-0147Can it wait?
Emergency care now
- A chemical splash: rinse with clean water for at least 15 minutes first
- A hard blow to the eye with pain or changed vision
- Sudden loss of vision in one or both eyes
Call us today
- A sudden shower of new floaters, flashes of light, or a shadow at the edge of vision
- A red, painful eye, especially with contacts
- Something in your eye that won’t rinse out
Book a medical visit
- Dry, gritty or itchy eyes that keep coming back
- Glaucoma or diabetes check-ups
- A stye or bump on the eyelid that hasn’t cleared
General guidance, not a diagnosis. If you can’t reach us and something feels wrong with your vision, go to an emergency room.
LS.05LASIK CONSULTS
We don’t do LASIK. We help you decide, and we’re here after.
A free consult measures your corneas against the basics the FDA lists. If you go ahead, you pick the surgeon, and the checkups afterward can happen here in Stillwater.
PL.06VISION AND MEDICAL
Two kinds of insurance. We’ll tell you which one applies.
- Vision plans
Usually cover a routine exam and an allowance toward glasses or contacts. We’re in network with several major plans; call with your member ID and we’ll check yours before you come in.
- Medical insurance
Red eyes, infections, floaters, glaucoma and diabetic eye exams are medical visits, billed to your health insurance rather than your vision plan.
- HSA and FSA
Exams, glasses, contacts and prescription sunglasses are eligible medical expenses. Pay with the card or ask for an itemized receipt.
- Out of network
We give you an itemized receipt to send to your plan for whatever out-of-network benefit it pays.
NO INSURANCE
- Comprehensive eye exam, adultfrom $135
- Kids’ eye examfrom $110
- Contact lens fitting, added to an examfrom $70

FAQ
Asked at the front desk most weeks.
Q.01Do I have to buy glasses from you after my exam?
No. You get a copy of your glasses prescription at the end of the exam whether you ask or not, and federal law says it can’t be tied to buying anything. Plenty of patients take it elsewhere. We’ll still adjust whatever you end up with.
Q.02Can you use my prescription from another office?
Yes, for glasses, as long as it’s current. Bring it, or have the office send it. We’ll take your fitting measurements here.
Q.03How long do new glasses take?
Most single-vision pairs are ready in about a week; progressives and high-index lenses can take up to two. We call you when they’re in, and the pickup includes a fitting.
Q.04Will my eyes be dilated, and can I drive after?
Usually, yes. The drops make you sensitive to light and blur up-close vision for a few hours. Bring sunglasses; many people drive, some prefer a ride. Ask us about retinal photos if dilation is hard for you that day.
Q.05Do I need blue-light glasses for screen work?
The American Academy of Ophthalmology doesn’t recommend them; screens don’t damage your eyes. Tired eyes at a screen usually come from focusing and blinking less, and the right prescription or a computer lens helps more.
Q.06What should I bring?
Your current glasses and contacts (or the boxes), a list of medications, your vision and medical insurance cards, and sunglasses for after dilation.
VS.06SOUTH MAIN ST.
Book an exam. Bring your frames.
Ask for a time and we’ll call to confirm, usually the same business day. Bring the glasses you wear now, even if they’re broken.
