Seeing Your Best In Your New Harvey & Lewis Eyewear Is Our Most Important Concern

Harvey & Lewis has been making eyeglass lenses since 1890! Over the years, we have dedicated ourselves to using the finest materials, the best equipment and maintaining the most exacting standards in the industry.

Choosing Your Lenses

Function is a significant part of choosing the right lenses, but design is still a top priority. Lenses should be tailored to your visual needs, while also complementing your personality and style. At Harvey & Lewis, we understand the relationship between both, which is why we carry a number of lens options.

Prescription Analysis

Once you've completed the eye exam, the journey begins with a thorough prescription analysis to determine how you use your eyes throughout the day. Do you drive a lot? Play sports? Are you in front of the computer all day? These are some of the questions our opticians will ask to determine what eyewear is best for you.

Materials

Based on your prescription, we'll begin with a recommendation for materials. From Polycarbonate, Trivex and various Hi-Index materials, we can reduce thickness significantly.
