Prescription and non-Prescription Sunglasses and Eyeglasses

Eyeglasses come in many varieties, styles, colors, shapes, and sizes
Over-the-counter or non-prescription eyeglasses, reading glasses, and sunglasses can be purchased anywhere - drug stores, grocery stores, etc
Prescription glasses must be purchased from an optometrist or optician who makes your glasses from an eye doctor's prescription. Or, they may be ordered online with a prescription from the doctor. This means that you will have an eye exam and take the prescription to the optician, often at that location or elsewhere.

Do you spend long hours working on digital screens- computers, smartphones, etc? Do you have headaches, persistent eye strain, or dry, scratchy eyes? A simple solution without going to a doctor for an eye exam might be a pair of blue light-blocking glasses.
Blue light-blocking glasses are the easiest solution for eye strain caused by prolonged blue light exposure. These eyeglasses filter out the very low-frequency blue light these screens produce and prevent transmission to your eyes.
There are many blue light-blocking glasses on the market, and some claim to be better at filtering. We have sourced models that offer to protect your eyes from blue light; click below for more details.
At Eye Care Emporium, we have integrated with Amazon (we earn a commission from qualifying purchases) to link to blue light-blocking eyeglasses. We have found a selection of manufacturers that make non-prescription and reading glasses that block blue light. Click below for links to these selections.

Contact Lenses must be prescribed and fitted by an eye doctor. There are many brands and styles to choose from.
There is a learning curve to wearing contact lenses, but many find them an ideal visual aid.
In the past, contact lenses had to be purchased and installed by an optometrist or ophthalmologist who performs an eye exam and uses the prescription to select the right lenses for your eyes, then fits them for you and ensures that they are perfect for your vision.
Recently, however, online vision exams have become available on several websites, which allow the customer to perform the exam at home on their computer, order the lenses directly from the website, and receive them in the mail.
This procedure is much cheaper than a visit to an eye doctor, but learning to wear the lenses may be more difficult.
Wherever you get your contact lenses, once you have gotten used to wearing them, you should be very pleased with the visual results.
At Eye Care Emporium, we have found several online sources for contact lenses that have integrated vision exams (we earn a small commission from qualifying purchases). Click below for links to these websites.
