Prescription Glasses in Safford, AZ: Eyewear for Every Age and Every Need
QUICK LINKS
Prescription Eyewear Fitted to Your Eyes at Family Eye Center
Getting prescription glasses starts with a current eye exam. Dr. Tracy J. Montierth, O.D., or Dr. Landon J. Montierth, O.D., will confirm your prescription during your appointment, and our optician, Yvonne, will help you select frames and discuss your lens options. Frame selection at Family Eye Center covers adults, seniors, and children, with options across a range of styles and price points. Glasses are ordered and typically ready within a few days, depending on your lens requirements.
Getting the Right Prescription Glasses in Safford
If your glasses feel off, you are squinting more than usual, or you have not had an eye exam in more than a year, a new prescription check is the right starting point. Dr. Tracy J. Montierth, O.D., and Dr. Landon J. Montierth, O.D., provide comprehensive eye exams that include your glasses prescription. Once your prescription is confirmed, Yvonne can help you find frames that fit properly and suit your face and daily use.
Children's Prescription Eyeglasses
Children's vision can change quickly, and glasses that fit well and look right are more likely to be worn consistently. At Family Eye Center, we carry frames sized for children and can fit them during the same appointment as their eye exam. When your child has input on the frame they choose, they are more likely to wear their glasses without resistance.
What to bring to your child's glasses appointment:
- Your child's current glasses, if they have them
- Your vision insurance card
- Any notes from a school vision screening, if applicable
- Your child's current prescription, if it was issued elsewhere
Yes. Your glasses prescription must be current before frames and lenses can be ordered. If your last eye exam was more than one year ago, schedule an exam with Dr. Tracy J. Montierth, O.D., or Dr. Landon J. Montierth, O.D., before selecting new frames. Call (928) 428-4360 to schedule.
Turnaround time for glasses varies depending on your lens type and the laboratory processing your order. Simple single-vision lenses are generally ready faster than more complex prescriptions. Our staff will give you an estimated timeframe when your order is placed. Call (928) 428-4360 if you have questions about your order status.
Prescription Sunglasses in Safford
If you need vision correction and want protection from sun glare, prescription sunglasses give you both in one pair. They are useful for driving in southeastern Arizona's bright conditions, working outdoors, and everyday use. Your prescription is the same as your regular glasses prescription. Our optician can help you select a frame and lens combination suited to how you plan to use them.
Prescription sunglasses at Family Eye Center are available for:
- Adults
- Children
- Distance and near prescriptions
Using Your VSP Benefit for Prescription Glasses
VSP vision plans typically include an annual allowance toward frames and lenses as part of your eyewear benefit. Many patients in the Safford area carry VSP through their employer. At Family Eye Center, we accept VSP and can apply your benefit toward prescription glasses, prescription sunglasses, and children's eyewear. Call (928) 428-4360 before your appointment to confirm how your plan applies to your specific eyewear needs.
New Glasses Prescription
If you have never worn glasses before or your prescription has changed significantly, a comprehensive eye exam with Dr. Tracy J. Montierth, O.D., or Dr. Landon J. Montierth, O.D., is the first step. Your optometrist will confirm your prescription, and our optician will guide you through frame and lens selection.
Updating an Existing Prescription
If your current glasses no longer feel as sharp as they used to, your prescription may have changed. An updated eye exam will confirm whether a new prescription is needed before new lenses or frames are ordered.
Glasses for Your Child
Children's prescriptions can change more frequently than adults. Regular eye exams help catch those changes early so your child is always seeing clearly at school and at home. We carry frames sized and fitted for children at our Safford practice.
Prescription Sunglasses
Prescription sunglasses are available for patients who need vision correction and want a dedicated pair for sun protection. Ask about prescription sunglasses during your next eye exam or eyewear appointment at Family Eye Center.
