Selecting your lenses and frames is a very personal choice. A wide variety of options are available and can be tailored to suit not only your medical needs but also your fashion preferences. We can find the right pair of glasses for you!

Design, material and treatments are the three components that make up a pair of prescription lenses. It is important to select the right combination of these elements for your particular visual needs and to always consult your eye care professional.

The knowledgeable staff at Norton Eye Care will consider long-term wearing comfort, style, features and function when suggesting a new pair of eyeglasses. The eyeglasses become as unique as the person taking them home.

Selecting the right eyeglass lens depends largely on its function. We are happy to help you find what best suits your needs. Regardless of your situation, Dr. Jamie Norton can help determine what types of lenses will work best for you in terms of comfort, function and design.

When choosing a frame, the size and shape of the frame should play up your best features and compliment that shape of your face. The color of the frame is also important, and can enhance eye color and skin tones. Most people need more than one pair of glasses, such as one for everyday wear and another for outdoor activities. Having different style frames for different activities and moods makes wearing glasses more fun. We also have a large selection of children's and tween frames available!

With the wide variety of lens options available, you can customize your sunglasses to meet your visual, protection, performance and comfort needs. Sunglasses protect your eyes from harmful ultraviolet (UV) radiation, which is present even on cloudy days. Quality sunwear provides 100 percent UV protection and can significantly reduce the risk of vision problems caused by sunlight such as cataracts and retinal damage.

Glare, an issue that makes it difficult to see objects clearly by washing out colors and details, can be combated by polarized lenses. Looking at a scene with polarized lenses, you'll notice the colors are deeper, richer and bolder, and details are clearer and more distinct. Polarized lenses also help reduce squinting, which, in turn, reduces eye fatigue, tension and eyestrain.

Wearers of prescription glasses and sunglasses commonly encounter annoying glare and reflections caused by light bouncing off their lenses. This glare makes it more difficult to see, especially at night. The glare also creates significant eye strain when looking at computers monitors, tablet screens, and our cell phones. Anti-reflective lenses reduce these reflections allowing more light to pass through to your eyes.

All lens surfaces naturally reflect light and this reflection can prevent between 7 to 14 percent of the light needed for optimal vision. Wearing non-AR lenses is like trying to read a book in a dimly lit room. Since AR lenses allow more light to reach your eyes by reducing reflections, it's like turning up the lights in a room, making it easier to see.
