Walk-Ins Are Welcome!


Oakley was started by James Jannard in 1975 out of his garage with an initial investment of $300.

The name “Oakley” came from his English Setter, “Oakley Anne.” Most of Oakley’s technological designs, fashion pieces, gear, etc. were developed with extensive athlete input and testing in the field – including extreme conditions.

Prizm is a lens technology designed to enhance color and contrast so you can see more detail. They are tuned to create a more vivid, vibrant world. Defined to increase depth perception and highlight features in the surrounding environment. It reveals what you may not see with the naked eye.

A staple of every school nurse’s office is the big E eye chart.

That chart, the formal name of which is the Snellen chart (after the 19th-century Dutch eye doctor Herman Snellen who developed it), is certainly a good diagnostic tool for catching nearsightedness, but there are many other things that could be wrong with a child’s eyesight. That’s why a comprehensive eye exam with an optometrist is a must before your child starts school.

We wouldn’t have gone into the optometry field if we weren’t fascinated by eyes, and there are some incredible ones in nature.

There is such incredible variation in how eyes work across the animal kingdom that we could spend years studying and barely scratch the surface, so to start out, we just want to take a brief look at some of the most impressive features of animal eyes.

We’ve all heard that eating carrots will give us amazing eyesight.

Fun fact: that idea is actually leftover World War II propaganda. The British wanted to keep their new radar technology secret from the Germans, so they claimed far and wide that their airmen got superhuman night vision by eating lots of carrots.

Whether the ruse worked or not, it’s an idea that still lives on in some form eight decades later. There’s at least one grain of truth in it, though: carrots and other nutritious foods might not give us vision-based superpowers, but they do help our eyes stay healthy.
