Eyear Optical provides comprehensive eyeglass prescriptions tailored to meet the personalized visual needs of patients of all ages. Whether you're experiencing changes in vision, eye fatigue, or difficulty with reading or distance viewing, our experienced optometrists are here to deliver precise assessments and tailored lens solutions.

With more than 60 years of service to the Chattanooga and Cleveland, TN areas, Eyear Optical has established a reputation for trust in high-quality optical treatment, backed by state-of-the-art diagnostics and personalized attention. Each eyeglass prescription is crafted after a full eye examination to ensure the most accurate correction and maximum comfort.

Eye Exams for Accurate Prescriptions

An accurate eyeglass prescription starts with a thorough eye examination. At Eyear Optical, we employ a combination of state-of-the-art technology and one-on-one examinations to detect vision abnormalities and the ideal corrective lens power for every patient. Our highly skilled optometrists conduct thorough tests to determine the degree to which your eyes can see objects at varying distances and how well your eyes work together.

The eye examination includes:

Visual acuity test to establish near and far sight
Refraction test to establish the precise lens power needed
A binocular vision test to ensure both eyes are functioning together
Ocular checkup for conditions such as astigmatism, presbyopia, or hyperopia
Checkup of digital fatigue or stress, especially for heavy users of the screen

Who Needs an Eyeglass Prescription?

Anyone experiencing vision changes that affect daily activities, such as reading, driving, or working on a computer, requires an eyeglass prescription. We, at Eyear Optical, treat patients who are often suffering from:

Nearsightedness (Myopia): Difficulty viewing things far away
Farsightedness (Hyperopia): Trouble seeing near objects
Astigmatism: Blurred vision due to an irregularly shaped cornea
Presbyopia: Decrease in near vision with age, usually starting in the 40s
Digital eye strain: From extended hours of computer work

Once your eyeglass prescription is complete, our optician will guide you through selecting the best type of lens for your lifestyle. Eyear Optical stocks the full range of high-tech lens products designed to offer clear, unobstructed vision, reduce eye fatigue, and enhance comfort.

Our lens options include:

Single Vision Lenses

Recommended for patients who need to be corrected for one field of vision, either distance or near. These tend to be prescribed for younger patients or individuals with uncomplicated vision needs.

Bifocal Lenses

Designed for individuals who require correction for both near and distant vision. These lenses feature two distinct sections, with a visible line separating the different focal points.

Progressive Lenses

An alternative to bifocals, progressive lenses offer a smooth transition from near, intermediate, and far vision zones. They are particularly suited for presbyopes who desire a more natural appearance and visual experience.

High-Index Lenses

For presbyopes with steeper prescriptions, high-index lenses offer a thinner and lighter alternative to standard lenses. They provide the same correction in a thinner, more streamlined shape.

Polycarbonate Lenses

Ideal for children or individuals with busy lifestyles, these lenses are resistant to impact and very hard-wearing.

Anti-Reflective Coating

Guard against glare from screens and overhead lights, which can aid visual clarity and reduce eye strain, particularly helpful for students and office workers.

Blue Light Protection

Guard against the harmful effects of blue light from electronic screens, which can help reduce eye strain and improve sleep quality in individuals who use screens for prolonged periods.

Photochromic Lenses

Also referred to as transition lenses, they adapt with light conditions, darkening outdoors and becoming clear indoors.

Expert Frame Selection to Match Fit and Function

Choosing frames that complement your face shape and provide a comfortable fit is essential. At Eyear Optical, our trained opticians guide you through the process, ensuring you choose a frame that meets your style, durability, and comfort needs.

Variety of Frame Materials

Metal Frames: Lightweight, durable, and sleek
Plastic Frames: Available in colors and styles to match a statement look
Titanium and Alloy Options: Hypoallergenic and very lightweight
Stretchy Materials: Active lifestyles and children are accommodated

Custom Fit

We take careful measurements, such as pupillary distance (PD) and frame location, to ensure your prescription lenses are ideally positioned for clarity and balance. Our staff also readjusts the temples and nose pads for a pressure-free, comfortable fit.

Eyeglass Prescriptions at all Ages

Vision requires adaptation over time, and due to this, Eyear Optical prescribes eyeglasses for adults and children. Routine checks can detect early indications of vision problems, which is particularly important in the case of a child's development.

Pediatric Eyeglass Prescriptions

Kids struggle with reading, classroom compliance, or focusing on screens, too. Our doctors specialize in diagnosing eye problems in children and fitting them with proper lenses for infants and toddlers. We even have a special KidsZone where kids can relax while they're here.

Adult and Senior Vision Correction

Adults will first begin to experience changes in near or intermediate vision with age. We provide comprehensive exams and treatments for vision issues associated with aging, including presbyopia multifocal lenses, and higher single vision prescriptions.

Insurance and Affordability

We understand that price is an appropriate factor in choosing eyeglasses. Because of this, at Eyear Optical, we stock most major insurance carriers and have open pricing on all lenses and frames. We will verify your benefits and help guide you to the best value solution tailored to your specific situation.
