Frames - We have a large section of both designer names and value conscious styles. We have frames for men, women, and children. In addition, we carry a large selection of sunglass frames for both fashion and function. Our frames come in a great selection of materials, such as, stainless steel, titanium and zyl. No matter what your personal style we have a frame to fit your needs.

Lens Materials - Often people forget that the most important part of their eyeglasses is the lenses. We offer a wide range of lens materials to best suit each and every prescription. We offer everything from high quality CR-39, which is generally referred to as standard plastic, to light weight and impact resistant Trivex, and high-index lenses which are ideal for stronger prescriptions.

Lens Coatings - To further improve your vision, we offer the latest and greatest in lens coatings. In particular, Anti-Reflective coatings which have a myriad of benefits for the wearer. AR or Anti-Reflective coatings will improve vision for night driving by eliminating “halo effects” on headlights and street lights. AR also eases eye strain while doing computer work or while under fluorescent lighting. AR coating also looks better cosmetically, allowing others to clearly see your eyes, and eliminating glare when you are photographed.

Sunglasses - We offer a wide range of sunglasses which are available with or without a prescription. If you need a stylish or sporty pair of glasses for wear over your contacts, we have non-prescription sunglasses for you. If you need a prescription in your sunglasses we can make them in the fashion frame of your choice or any of our ophthalmic frames.

Sport Safety Frames - We are a sales representative for Rec Specs Sport Safety glasses. If you or your children are involved in any sports or activities; a pair of Rec Specs is a very important way to protect your precious eyesight.

Ready to have your best vision?

At Horizon Eye Specialists your consultation will likely be the most thorough eye exam you’ve ever experienced. We pride ourselves at performing a detailed, careful review of your eye and medical history, using the latest technology to determine your current visual status, performing repeated testing if necessary, evaluating your entire eye health, and reviewing your specific visual needs and lifestyle demands.

If you are a candidate, we know “one size fits all” does NOT apply to refractive surgery and will elect the procedure we feel will provide the best outcome based on all the data gathered specific to you.
