At One Hour Optical, we believe in the importance of quality eye exams that take a good look into every aspect of your eye health. During an annual comprehensive eye exam, you’ll get an updated vision prescription, and our passionate eye doctor will take the time to get to know you in order to better serve your eye care needs.

Our One Hour Optical Eye Doctor

Our eye doctor cares deeply about the health of his patients and wants to make sure that every person who comes in is completely comfortable and assured that their individual needs are taken care of. We take a lot of pride in creating a great experience for patients at One Hour Optical, and we want to earn your faith in the quality of our care.

Our Eye Exams

Our mission is to be your home for budget-friendly eyewear that’s truly tailored to you. That’s why we thoroughly screen your eyes in-house during your eye exam so you can meet our optical staff afterwards with a precise prescription in hand.

At One Hour Optical, our team will make sure your experience is comfortable and leaves you feeling confident in our care. Once your eyes have been checked, an experienced and compassionate eye doctor will meet with you virtually to get more information about your needs and unique eyes. From there, we’ll see to it that your eyewear — whether that’s glasses or contact lenses — helps you achieve your best vision possible!

Comprehensive Eye Exams

When you come to One Hour Optical for your eye exam, we’ll evaluate your eyes for any irregularities or signs of disease. Sometimes these risk factors won’t be noticeable until irreparable damage has already been done to your vision. Early detection is vital, because the sooner we detect an eye condition, the sooner we can work toward managing it ourselves or finding you the help you need.

After we’ve assessed your eye health, we’ll update your vision prescription, so you’ll see clearly out of the corrective eyewear you choose.

Contact Lens Exams

Contact lens exams are slightly different from regular eye exams. Glasses sit some distance away from your eyes, while contact lenses are placed directly on the eyes themselves. This distance means that your contact lenses will require a different vision test to get an accurate prescription.
