Frames and Boutique Wear

When you buy glasses, you’re not just correcting your vision; you’re deciding on style. Select frames that match your personal “look” and return unparalleled results. The Optical has an extensive selection of eyewear, including the latest styles in designer sunglasses brands and prescription eyeglasses, as well as the widest variety of lenses in the Baltimore region, making the eyewear we provide perfect for all occasions.

For higher prescriptions, we offer thin, light lenses to ensure comfort and clear vision, as well as some of the finest progressive (no-line bifocal) lenses. Also available are our premium anti-reflective coatings, which deliver crisp vision and eliminate reflections.

Protects Your Child’s Vision Today and Tomorrow

Correcting vision alone won’t stop myopia (nearsightedness) from getting worse. As myopia progresses, it can increase future eye health risks. That’s why early, proactive management is so important.

Stellest® lenses, Essilor®’s most advanced option for myopia control, are clinically proven to slow progression by an average of 67% compared to single-vision lenses when worn 12 hours a day.

Are Stellest® lenses right for your child?

Myopia progresses faster when it starts young. Stellest® lenses both correct vision now and help control how your child’s nearsightedness develops over time—supporting clearer, healthier vision for the future.
