Knowing When It’s Time For New Frames

Eyeglasses don’t exactly age quite as well as wine and cheese. Wear-and-tear is guaranteed to take a toll on your frames. Vintage may be “in” right now, but know the signs that indicate that it’s probably time to consider new frames.

“How Do I Know When It’s Time?”

Of course, the #1 sign that you should consider new lenses and frames is if you’re noticing changes in your vision! How long has it been since you've updated your prescription? Most of the time such changes are so gradual that you don’t think about it until it becomes a problem. Visit with a Vision Source doctor and let’s check your vision and prescription.

Other signs that you shouldn’t ignore include:

  • Frames with stripped screws
  • Heavily scratched or worn-down lenses
  • Bent frames that just don’t quite fit
  • A loose fit that’s difficult to keep adjusted
  • Headaches more often than usual
  • Irritated skin at frame touch points

A Chance To Help Others Too

Having a “backup" pair of glasses is important in case your primary pair becomes temporarily lost or broken, but once you have that backup pair, do some good with your old glasses as suggested in this short video...

Reduce everyday stress with a new pair of glasses that fit you comfortably and correctly. No more worrying about them sliding off or breaking—or going through the day with a vision-related headache.

While You’re At It, Get Frames You Really Like!

Yes, the primary purpose for eyeglasses is to help you see better, but in addition, great-looking frames are fun to wear and boost your confidence. Our Vision Source practices are experts at recommending frames that both compliment your individual look and fit your lifestyle. We have lots of awesome choices for you to consider!

What Our Clients Say

My annual eye exam is always an excellent experience with Dr. Danielle Dyke. The exam is always thorough, and Dr. Dyke takes the time to explain my eye health in a way I can understand. The Vision Source eye clinic is modern, clean, and the staff is very welcoming. I always feel comfortable and well-cared for at my appointment. I highly recommend Dr. Dyke and Vision Source!

Patricia G.

Dr. Schauer did an amazing job getting my eye infection cleared up. As I sat in my room waiting my turn, because I had a last minute appointment, I could hear her working with a family next door that had young kids.

Fred S.

Whenever I have had eye issues, they have made efforts to get me in asap. Which I really appreciate. I have had Dr. Aberle and Dr. Dyke and they are both excellent. Recently, I saw Dr. Aberle for a chronic eye problem in one eye & he fixed the problem. Honestly, it felt like a miracle. The office staff is also very pleasant to deal with.

Sheila S.

I've literally been a lifelong customer since 5th grade when it was Dr. Little! Dr. Schauer has taken over since Dr. Little retired. It's always a good, friendly experience with all of the staff there. I've never had a bad experience.

Bill S.

The front desk people are very nice and friendly got called in to see Wayne before my appointment time Vision Source has very friendly staff and the clinic is very clean will always be a patient to Vision Source.

Deborah C.

I was greeted by the front desk very efficiently. The person who did the first part of my history and did the testing like the little spritz in my eyes, etc, was very good. I really like my eye doctor, I feel that I get all my questions answered as well as she explains what she is seeing when she is examining my eyes.
