Express yourself, Love yourself and be confindent in your frames!

I always say, let your glasses show your personality, even if your job is very conservative. I know, I know, you think, "but I dont want my glasses to over power my face..!" Fact is, they are there. My point exactly is if you have to wear glasses, then do just that and don't let them wear you! Meaning, OWN IT! Make them fun - let us help you find the best shape and color that looks AMAZING ON YOU!

Don't hide any more, come to the front and center stage with your Glasses!

Did you know that people look at your face over a thousand times a day?! Ok... we don't know the exact number, but we know it's a lot. Your face is one of the first things people look at when meeting you, when talking to you, pretty much all day, every day. That's one reason why finding the right frame for your face and your style is so important! Even more so, we want you to love your frame and accentuate your best features. That's why our trained opticians LOVE helping you not only find the best frame and lenses for your visual needs, but to help accentuate YOU as a person. We know that sometimes selecting a frame can be intimidating, so let us help YOU express yourself!

Here are 5 of our favorite tips for picking out glasses:

1. Remember your personal style, but don't be afraid to be fabulous and let your glasses stand out!

2. Sometimes people think they cannot wear a certain frame based on their face shape, but we like to bend the rules a little. Come on in, you may be surprised what you fall in love with!

3. Contrast can be your best friend. For example, Blonde hair = black frame!

4. HAVE FUN, and follow your HEART!

5. And Lastly, trust Eye Care Center to be your own P.F.S... Personal Frame Stylist!

If you are like many glasses or contact lens wearers, you have probably heard of, and maybe even thought about having Lasik eye surgery. Although eye surgery may sound intimidating, Lasik is a very common and one of the most successful surgeries performed anywhere in the body. You are awake during the entire procedure and have very minimal to no discomfort. Valium may be given before, during, or after the procedure to ease any nerves associated with the procedure. Technology has advanced to an all time high when it comes to Lasik. During Lasik, a very precise laser is used to make a small "flap" in the outermost portion of your cornea, your epithelium. This technology significantly reduces risks that were associated with manual flap creation. New technology, along with a highly skilled surgeon decreases risks associated with the procedure. The other aspect that significantly reduces any risks of complication, is first determining if you are a proper candidate. A thorough consultation before hand will ensure whether you are a good candidate for the procedure. Here at Eye Care Center, we offer a complimentary lasik evaluation and consultation! You may have several questions about what to expect, and what makes you a good candidate. We are happy and excited to sit down with you and go over all questions and answers that you may have regarding Lasik. There are several different options that can reduce your dependency on glasses or contact lenses. Refractive surgery has advanced rapidly and is capable of treating a wide range of prescriptions from nearsightedness, farsightedness, and even astigmatism. We can help determine if you are a candidate, talk through the rewards and risks, recommend an excellent surgical team, and continue your follow-up care at our office. We will see you the next day at our office in College Station, and then again at 1 week, 1 month, 3 months and 6 months. After that, we usually recommend continuing with annual eye and ocular health exams. If you are over 18 years of age, in good overall health, and have had a stable prescription for at least 1 year, you are well on your way to being a successful Lasik candidate. Schedule your FREE Lasik consultation today at Eye Care Center and let us help determine if you are a candidate and answer any and all questions you may have!
