What are eyeglasses?
Eyeglasses are a common and effective treatment option for refractive errors like myopia (nearsightedness), hyperopia (farsightedness), astigmatism (abnormally shaped cornea), and presbyopia (age-related vision loss). West County Ophthalmology offers evaluations and fittings for eyeglasses to correct these common refractive errors. We have an optical shop on-site so that you can choose the frames and lenses that will suit your personal lifestyle and needs. Our vision professionals proudly serve the Chesterfield and O'Fallon communities with eyeglasses that help patients navigate life with better vision. Contact our practice today to book your appointment.
What should I expect when getting eyeglasses?
During your comprehensive eye exam, we will test your visual acuity, check your eye health, and evaluate your refractive error to understand your prescription lens needs. There are two primary types of eyeglass lenses: single-vision lenses (which help you see up close or at a distance) and multifocal lenses (which combine lenses to correct multiple vision needs).
Once your ideal prescription is identified, our team will assist you in finding the best eyewear options to match your lifestyle needs, desires, and budget. Our on-site optical shop includes a variety of different designer frames and lens options so that you can select eyeglasses in person. While our team will identify your prescription, you will have the freedom to choose the color, look, and shape of your frames.
