Are You Ready For Summer?

Are your eyeglasses properly protecting your eyes from the sun's damaging rays??

If you do not know if your sunglasses are UV protected you can just bring them by and let me test them, free of charge, of course. It is likely that your Optician offered you UV protection (and explained the benefits) when you purchased your prescription eyeglasses. But neither prescription eyeglasses or over the counter sunglasses “automatically” come protected so you shouldn’t assume you are being protected simply because your glasses are prescription or have dark lenses.

For the past 24 years you have been trusting Village Opticians to help you properly protect your eyesight & care for your optical health. We’de like to continue helping you as the weather warms and you spend more time enjoying the wonderful outdoors. You can stop by anytime and let us test your sunglasses, FREE OF CHARGE, to see if they have proper UV protection. It just takes a few minutes and there is absolutely no purchase necessary. We are located right where we’ve always been and will continue to be: on the corner of Route 530 & Schoolhouse Rd., in the Crestwood Shopping Center, behind the new Walgreens.
