    How You Can Save 50% On Eyewear

    Eyeglasses, Frames, Reading Glasses, Sunglasses No Comments

    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.

    The Buzz About Koali Frames

    Eyeglasses, Frames No Comments

    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.

    Here Comes the Sunwear

    Contact Lenses, Eye Health, Eye Problems, Special Events, Sunglasses No Comments

    On Sunny Days You Need SunglassesIt’s a sunny day in Mt. Pleasant, at least for now!  During this spring’s activities I’ve been thankful for a good pair of sunglasses, whether I’m driving, doing yard work, or watching a high school tennis match.  What a difference it makes in my comfort and enjoyment!  If you are a contact lens wearer you especially know what I mean.  We keep hearing more and more about the necessity of proper sun protection, for your skin and your eyes.

    I’ll let you in on a little known fact.  We have an expanded selection of great sunwear right here in Mt. Pleasant, in our eyewear gallery.  Why not stop in and try some on during your lunch break today?  If you’re interested in prescription sunwear, we have that too.  (In fact, this Saturday you can save $50 on a pair of prescription sunglasses, during our annual Fashion & Eyewear Event!)

    Hope you can get outside and enjoy the weather!

    Sarah Palin’s Glasses, Celebrity Glasses Set Trends

    Eyeglasses, Frames No Comments

    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.
