The highly skilled staff at York Road Opticians has been providing the finest quality frames and lenses for more than 15 years. Our guiding principle is to supply each patient with the most accurate prescription eyewear to suit their needs at a fair, reasonable price.

Carefully filling your optical prescription is the final step in your overall eye examination and vision correction, and we apply the same high level of professionalism and competence which you have come to expect from Armstrong Colt George Ophthalmology.

York Road Opticians has a lab on site, assuring quality and accuracy. Our staff is professionally trained to help you select eyewear that best suits your vision needs and your lifestyle. At Armstrong Colt George Ophthalmology, it’s so convenient to order your glasses right after your eye exam. We also fill prescriptions from outside eye doctors.

Your single-vision glasses may be ready the next day. Other eyeglasses are usually done in 7 to 10 business days.

FRAMES

York Road Opticians carries hundreds of frames to fit our patients’ needs, from budget frames to top designers. We also carry occupational eyewear and sports goggles.

LENS MATERIALS

Glass or Plastic
Glass lenses are still available, but are heavy and breakable. Plastic lenses are lighter in weight and can be coated for ultraviolet (UV) and glare protection.

High-Index Lenses
Thinner and more lightweight, these are a comfortable choice, especially for strong prescriptions. An anti-reflective coating is recommended.

Polycarbonate Lenses
A good choice for athletes, workers and children, polycarbonate lenses are thin and lightweight. They have UV protection, a scratch-resistant coating and excellent resistance to impact.

SPECIAL CORRECTIONS

Bifocal and Trifocal Lenses
Correct near and far vision in a single lens, and are reasonably priced. However, they do show visible lines in the lenses.

Progressive Lenses
These “no-line” lenses provide full-range vision correction. The benefits are natural vision with a youthful look.

TINTS & COATINGS

Tinting
Tints are available in a variety of colors, gradients and intensity for a stylish look and protection against light sensitivity.

Transition Lenses
These lenses quickly darken in sunlight and clear indoors, so you don’t have to switch between glasses and sunglasses. However, they do not fully darken inside automobiles.

Polarized Lenses
Protect from reflected glare, UV rays and eye fatigue. Polarized lenses are ideal for water and snow sports, and for driving in the sun.

Anti-Reflective Treatment
Decreases annoying reflections and halos around lights, a safety benefit for those who drive at night. Also reduces eye strain for those who work with bright computer screens or under fluorescent lights.

DriveWear

A polarized Transition lens that senses and reacts to varying light conditions both outside and behind the windshield of

a car.
