Advantages of Premium Eyewear at Eyes On Park
Clear, Comfortable Vision
Prescription eyeglasses from Eyes On Park provide precise vision correction tailored to your unique visual needs. Unlike generic reading glasses, prescription lenses address exact vision deficiencies, including nearsightedness, farsightedness, astigmatism, and presbyopia.

One of the greatest advantages of glasses is their simplicity and durability. Unlike contact lenses that require daily cleaning routines, glasses require minimal upkeep. Basic care involves cleaning with lens cleaner and a microfiber cloth (provided with your purchase), and occasional adjustments to maintain a proper fit.

Types of Glasses Available
Single-Vision and Multifocal Options
Single-vision lenses correct vision at one distance (near, intermediate, or far) and are ideal for patients who need correction primarily for one visual task.
Multifocal lenses incorporate different prescriptions within the same lens to address multiple vision correction needs, with Dr. Shiyan helping determine which option best suits your specific requirements.
Bifocals and Trifocals
Bifocal lenses divide into two distinct sections—typically upper for distance and lower for near vision—with a visible line separating the prescription areas. Trifocals add a third middle section for intermediate vision (arm’s length), making them ideal for computer work, with distinct zones allowing quick transitions between viewing distances.
Progressive Lenses
Progressive lenses offer multifocal correction without visible lines, providing seamless transition between distance, intermediate, and near vision that mimics natural vision. Modern progressives at Eyes On Park feature wider viewing channels and reduced peripheral distortion, with digital designs customized to your specific prescription and frame choice.
Prescription Sunglasses and Specialty Lenses
Eyes On Park offers prescription sunglasses that combine vision correction with UV protection and glare reduction. These are available with polarized lenses that eliminate reflective glare—ideal for driving, water activities, and snow sports.
Other specialty lens options include:
Photochromic lenses: Automatically darken in sunlight and return to clear indoors.
Blue light filtering lenses: Reduce exposure to potentially harmful blue light from digital screens.
Anti-reflective coatings: Minimize glare and reflections, particularly beneficial for night driving.
Impact-resistant lenses: Provide additional protection for active lifestyles and sports.

A comprehensive eye exam at Eyes On Park forms the foundation for your perfect pair of glasses. During this thorough evaluation, Dr. Shiyan and her team assess both your vision correction needs and your overall eye health.

Glasses FAQs
The best way to find out your eyeglass prescription is to schedule a comprehensive eye exam at Eyes On Park. During your appointment, Dr. Irina Shiyan, OD, will perform a series of tests to assess your vision and eye health. These include checking how clearly you see at various distances, measuring how your eyes focus, and evaluating whether your current glasses (if any) are still effective. After the exam, you’ll receive an up-to-date prescription tailored specifically to your eyes and lifestyle needs. Regular exams also help detect early signs of eye conditions that may not have obvious symptoms.
A prescription of +1.75 typically means you’re farsighted (hyperopia). This means you can usually see objects in the distance clearly but may struggle with close-up tasks like reading or using your phone. The +1.75 indicates a mild to moderate level of correction needed to help your eyes focus properly up close. Glasses with this prescription help bring nearby objects into sharp focus and reduce eye strain, especially during extended periods of near work. If left uncorrected, farsightedness can lead to headaches or eye fatigue, particularly with prolonged close-up activities.
A prescription of ±0.50 is considered very mild and often doesn’t require glasses full-time. However, if you’re experiencing symptoms like mild blur, eye fatigue, or headaches—especially during tasks like reading, working on a computer, or driving at night—glasses can definitely help. Wearing glasses as needed can improve visual comfort and prevent unnecessary strain on your eyes.
Yes, absolutely. Once you complete your eye exam and receive your prescription at Eyes On Park, you can browse a wide selection of high-quality, fashionable frames right at the office. Dr. Shiyan and her team will help you select lenses that match your prescription and your lifestyle, whether you need single vision, progressives, or lens coatings like anti-glare or blue light protection. Ordering directly through the office means you get the right fit, style, and optical precision all in one place.
