At The Optical Centre, we believe growing older doesn’t mean giving up on style—or comfort. With the right frames and lenses, you can protect your vision and showcase your personality at every age.
One patient told us she dreaded the idea of “cheaters” from the drugstore. But after a personalized styling session at our Longmont boutique, she left with a pair of designer progressives that not only helped her read the fine print but also matched her vibrant personality. She went from hiding her glasses to treating them like her favorite accessory.
This is the power of pairing eye health with fashion. At The Optical Centre, we don’t just prescribe lenses—we curate eyewear that helps you feel as good as you look.
How Vision Changes as You Age
Aging is natural, and so are the changes in your eyesight. Some of the most common include:
- Presbyopia: Difficulty reading small print, often starting in your 40s.
- Dry Eyes: Tear production decreases with age, leading to irritation.
- Cataracts: Clouding of the natural lens that blurs vision.
- Reduced Contrast Sensitivity: Colors and details may appear less sharp.
The good news? Modern lenses and frames are designed to address these challenges while keeping you stylish.
- Progressive Lenses let you see clearly at all distances without swapping between multiple pairs of glasses.
- Blue Light Filters reduce digital strain from screens—something even grandparents are dealing with more now.
- Lightweight, Fashion-Forward Frames ensure comfort while highlighting your unique style.
With the right eyewear, aging eyes can feel refreshed, confident, and supported in everyday life.
Personalized Styling for Every Age
At The Optical Centre, we know eyewear is more than a prescription—it’s an expression of who you are. That’s why our boutique optical experience in Longmont goes beyond functionality. We offer personalized styling sessions, where our team helps you choose frames that match your face shape, lifestyle, and personal taste.
Maybe you’re drawn to bold statement frames that add flair to your everyday outfits. Or perhaps you prefer sleek, understated designs that transition seamlessly from work to weekend. From lightweight titanium to vibrant colors and patterns, our curated collection makes it easy to find glasses you’ll love wearing.
Pair that with advanced lens options—like anti-glare coatings, progressive designs, or custom tints—and you’ve got eyewear that works just as hard as you do.
