What People Say About Us!
Dr. Kirk’s care and attention allowed me to return to the activities I enjoy. Dr. Kirk didn’t let my cataracts get too bad before he did the surgery. I had both eyes done, and it was a very pleasant experience. I couldn’t ask for a better physician than Dr. Kirk.

Frequently Asked Questions
Choosing the right frames depends on balancing your face shape with the frame style. For round faces, rectangular or square frames add definition. Oval faces work well with almost any style, while square faces benefit from rounded or oval frames to soften angles. Heart-shaped faces are complemented by frames with wider bottoms, and diamond faces look great with cat-eye or oval shapes.
Single-vision lenses correct vision at one distance, either near or far. Multifocal lenses, like bifocals or progressive lenses, offer multiple prescriptions in one lens, providing clear vision at varying distances without needing numerous glasses.
Polycarbonate and Trivex lenses are highly durable, lightweight, and impact-resistant, making them ideal for active individuals and children. They’re less prone to shattering than traditional glass or plastic lenses.
Yes, most lenses can be treated with scratch-resistant coatings to enhance durability. While this doesn’t make lenses scratch-proof, it reduces the likelihood of minor scratches from daily wear and cleaning.
AR coatings reduce glare from light, making it easier to see in bright conditions, especially when driving at night or working on digital screens. They also improve the appearance of lenses by reducing reflections, offering a clearer, more polished look.
These lenses filter out some of the blue light emitted by digital screens, reducing eye strain and improving sleep by minimizing exposure to light that disrupts your circadian rhythm.
You can carefully tighten the screws on the hinges or adjust the nose pads. For a more secure fit, visit an optical professional who can make precise adjustments using specialized tools.
Contact lens lifespan depends on the type: daily lenses last one day, while monthly lenses can be used for about 30 days. On the other hand, eyeglasses can last one to two years or more with proper care and maintenance.
People with astigmatism can choose from glasses with customized lenses or toric contact lenses. Both options correct the irregular curvature of the cornea or lens.
Yes, minor repairs such as tightening screws, replacing nose pads, or fixing loose hinges can often be performed at an optical shop. For more severe damage, like broken frames, replacement may be required.
Yes, you generally need a current eyeglass prescription to order prescription lenses. If your prescription has expired or your vision has changed, you might need an eye exam before ordering new glasses. Kirk Eye Center offers comprehensive eye care along with an on-site optical department, making it convenient to update your prescription and shop for frames and lenses in one location.
There is no set timetable for replacing eyeglasses. You might need new glasses when your prescription changes, your lenses become scratched, or your frames are damaged or no longer fit comfortably. Even if your glasses are in good condition, regular eye exams help identify vision changes that may call for a new prescription. Kirk Optical can also adjust or repair many existing frames.
The time needed to receive new prescription glasses varies based on your prescription, lens material, coatings, frame selection, and whether specialized lenses are required. Some orders may take longer than others because of the amount of customization involved. When you choose your glasses at Kirk Optical, the optical team can give you a more specific estimate based on the lenses and frames you select.
In many cases, yes. Whether you can put new lenses in your current frames depends on the frame’s age, condition, material, shape, and compatibility with your new prescription. Brittle, damaged, or heavily worn frames may not be suitable for new lenses. The team at Kirk Optical will examine your existing frames and let you know whether reusing them is practical.
Progressive lenses provide multiple viewing zones for distance, intermediate, and near vision without the visible lines found in traditional bifocals or trifocals. Most people need some time to become comfortable moving their eyes and head through the different zones. Adjustment time varies, but consistent wear can help. Proper measurements and frame fit also play an important role in comfortable progressive lens use.
