Dedicated to providing
the right care solution
With years of professional experience, we’ll help you see and feel your best.
Lens and frame technology is advancing at lightning speed. We read trade journals daily and meet with industry representatives to keep up with the new products entering the market.
Prescription Eyewear
Our eyewear selection consists of some of the most innovative products available. Our vendors are typically small European or Asian companies that have frame designers exclusive to the eyewear industry. The result is a product that is highly respected and sought after in the industry consisting of continually evolving designs made of the best materials.
Eye Examinations
Comprehensive eye examinations are available by appointment with a licensed doctor of optometry. Exams can be done for a variety of purposes; prescribing eyeglasses and contact lenses, detecting eye disease, treating eye infections or minor eye injuries, or co-managing surgical procedures for cataracts and laser vision correction (LASIK).
Eyeglass Repairs
Eyeglass repairs are often needed when it is least convenient. We take pride in being one of the few places that can often implement repairs while you wait. We work hard to get your eyewear functional as soon as possible through innovative solutions.
Contact Lenses
Contact lens technology is also evolving. It is a rare occurrence that a patient is unable to wear contact lenses due to unavailability of an appropriate lens. Lenses are available for most vision conditions including astigmatism, presbyopia (bifocals), and sport-specific lenses.
Sunglasses
Both prescription and non-prescription sunglasses are meant to provide two things: comfort and protection. We can help you select sunglasses that look great while giving you clarity and safety.
Reading Glasses
Reading glasses are widely available. At Dobbs, we carry a wide assortment of stylish readers available in a range of prescription strengths that not only look great but are made from high quality materials.

Eyewear is a critically functional tool many of us depend on to perform daily activities of life. The value we place on our eyewear depends on the role they play in our lives. Vision insurance plans have the goal of providing the minimum necessary to achieve clarity of vision. No account is taken for style/fashion, durability or need for multiple pairs to perform different tasks. Consequently, the costs often exceed the basics that insurance plans would cover. Flex Plan and Health Savings Accounts are great options for out-of-pocket costs.
