Why New Clients Choose Brush Optical: Prioritized Services for Your Vision Needs
Imagine catching every detail of life—reading fine print, driving at night, or watching your kids play—without strain or worry. At Brush Optical, we make that possible with comprehensive eye exams tailored to your unique needs. Our cutting-edge tests, including visual acuity, refraction, glaucoma screening, slit lamp exams, and visual field testing, detect issues like nearsightedness, farsightedness, astigmatism, presbyopia, and more serious conditions early on. We personalize each exam, adding tests like retinal photography or pupil dilation based on your health history, so you leave with confidence in your eye health.
Prescription Eyewear and Contact Lenses
Whether you need glasses or contacts, our expert staff ensures a perfect fit and style:
- Glasses: Choose from over 4,000 frames, including designer, budget, and child-friendly options. We guide you through lens choices like single vision, bifocals, progressives, or coatings for blue light protection and anti-glare. Precise measurements guarantee comfort and clarity.
- Contact Lenses: We offer fittings for all types, including specialty lenses for astigmatism or keratoconus. New wearers receive hands-on training for safe use and care.
- Specialty Eyewear: We provide prescription sunglasses, safety glasses, and sports eyewear for active lifestyles.
With our in-house optical lab, many glasses are ready in just one hour!
Diagnosis and Management of Eye Conditions
At Brush Optical, our skilled optometrists provide expert care for a wide range of eye conditions, from common issues like dry eye syndrome, ocular allergies, and conjunctivitis (pink eye) to more complex conditions such as glaucoma, diabetic retinopathy, age-related macular degeneration, myopia, hyperopia, astigmatism, and presbyopia. We offer prompt treatment for minor eye injuries and infections, ensuring quick relief, and coordinate referrals to specialists when advanced care is required.


Pediatric Eye Care
For parents, your child’s vision is key to their success. Our pediatric eye care includes specialized exams to catch issues like lazy eye, nearsightedness, or misalignment early. We help kids pick durable, fun frames and offer contact lens training for teens, with follow-ups to support healthy vision as they grow.
Eyeglass Frame Repair and Adjustments
With our in-house lab, we can offer quick, expert frame repairs and adjustments to keep your glasses in top condition, ensuring comfort and longevity.


Insurance and Payment Options
We accept most vision insurance plans, including Medicaid, Medicare, Humana, VSP, Superior Vision, Avesis, EyeMed, Versant Health, Davis Vision, and Flex Spending Accounts (FSA).
Why Brush Optical Stands Out
