Complete EyeCare Center

Our once-a-year eyewear event is something patients don’t want to miss. Maybe it’s because of the $50 savings, the greatly expanded selection of ultra-fashionable frames, or it could be the door prizes & refreshments!

Stop in  Saturday, March 6th, between 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. to save $50 on the full line of Kliik “eyewear with an edge,” Fysh “urban cool eyewear,” or Takumi “luxury eyewear with magnetic sunclips”purchased with prescription lenses.

We look forward to seeing you then! (Need an eye exam? Give us a call.)

Most of us are trying to get the most value for our dollar these days.  That’s why we want to make sure you know about our Second Pair Savings.  You’re entitled to 50% off your second pair of prescription eyewear when it’s purchased on the same day.  Not quite ready yet?  We also offer 20% savings if the second pair is ordered within 90 days of your initial prescription eyewear purchase.

With all the great frame styles and lens options available, this gives you the option of having more than one pair of glasses–perhaps one for work and another for weekends, one more dressy and the other funky, one rimless with another in colorful plastic, one pair with Transitions changeable lenses and the other without, one for everyday use and the other for enjoying a special hobby, like sewing,  reading, or playing piano, more comfortably.  The options are endless.  Patients also find this is a great way to get a pair of prescription sunglasses or computer glasses.

You may be wondering if this is a limited time offer.  We’re happy to say we’ve given our patients this option for years, because we pass savings we receive from our optical lab on to you.

Save 50% on a second pair, every day, when you purchase your prescription eyewear at Complete EyeCare Center.  Kind of gives new meaning to the phrase “think twice!”  You can explore some of your options right now by going to our products page to see our frame collections.

A significant number of visitors to our website find us from across the country because they are interested in Koali frames.  They recognize excellent quality and design when they see it!  We are currently working on a way to help serve those people who cannot visit our southeast Iowa office in person.

Koali designers are inspired by nature and their frames reflect the same organic, attractive lines–with names like Ginkgo, Begonia, and Fern.  If you haven’t seen this frame collection, stop in and try them on for yourself at our downtown Mt. Pleasant office.  You can also view images of them here.

Koali fans, did you know that there is a men’s line made by the same company called Öga?  Öga, designed in Sweden, is inspired by contemporary architectural design.  The collection is described as modern, geometric, and aesthetic.  Some feature synthetic glass or wooden temples with mahogany, ebony, and oak tones. (Dr. Olson has two Öga frames himself.)

For those of you looking for modern drill mount or rimless frames with the same quality and production standards as Koali and Öga, you owe it to yourself to check out  the Lightec frame collection.  Made of surgical grade stainless steel they feature Alpha spring and screw free hinge systems.  Lightec has light, contemporary frames for both men and women.

Our Eyewear Consultant will be glad to answer any questions you have about frames and lenses.  Call our office at 319.385.9534 or stop in at Complete EyeCare Center today.

Koali, Oga, Lightec…these frame lines were featured at our annual Fashion EyeWear Event, but are available in our eyewear gallery throughout the year.  By stopping in our office both men and women will find unique, fashionable frame designs inspired by the natural world.  Some even feature real wood components.  (You can view these collections from our Products tab.)

Once again, the Fashion EyeWear Event was held in conjuction with the Mt. Pleasant High School Interact Club’s See-Saw for Sight on May 9, 2009.  Not only did they have fun, students were motivated by the knowledge that their efforts will help restore sight to the blind in India. The volunteers raised over $850 that will be matched several times by Rotary International.  With the matching funds it is projected that their efforts will help another 270 of India’s afflicted, who will regain functional vision for work and daily life after having cataract surgery at a subsidized outreach clinic.

After learning of Rotary’s sight-saving clinic Dr. Olson and his family suggested the first Interact Club See-Saw for Sight event and have helped organize it each year.   Complete EyeCare Center donated food, equipment, and radio time for the See-Saw for Sight event, and HyVee provided hot dogs.  This local event, held annually at Complete EyeCare Center since 2006, has already helped over 1000 people.

Visitors to the dual events in May were offered free hot dogs, popcorn, beverages, and cookies, and twelve were door prize winners.  Be watching for our next special event, to enjoy special savings, prizes and refreshments for yourself!

How can we not mention the recent craze to get frames like VP nominee Sarah Palin?  It’s fascinating to see the celebrity phenomena impacting the eyewear industry.  One thing it confirms is that frames are as much a fashion item as they are medical device.  Gone are the days of not wanting to be seen wearing glasses.  They are an accessory, and a means of conveying an image.

Palin’s frame features drill-mount linear shaped lenses and sleek gray-toned temples.  Drill mounts appear practically “frameless” from the front because the entire lens is rimless and held by mounting screws at the bridge and temples.  Her straight lens shape and frame size may not flatter all facial shapes, but it’s a great choice for Palin’s.  We have several similarly styled drill-mount frames, with variations in color and shape to suit you.  Our Eyewear Consultants can help you find the perfect frame so you look and see your best.  We take into account what’s flattering to your face and coloring, the right size for your lens prescription, as well as your personal tastes, lifestyle and visual needs.

Complete EyeCare Center’s Eyewear Consultants also keep educated on eyewear trends through current trade journals, conferences, and regular meetings with eyewear industry representatives.   Other celebrities setting recent trends in eyewear include Tina Fey, Amanda Peete, Cate Blanchett, and Jennifer Gardner.

To see an image of Palin’s frame select style 704.

See our Products page for links to frame and lens photos and manufacturer’s information.  Better yet, stop in our office and our knowledgable Eyewear Consultant will help you find the very best choice for your prescription, lifestyle, face shape and coloring, and personality!
