eye doctors

I think all optometrists sell eyeglasses, and all optometrists will tell you honestly if you need glasses or not. I've never had one tell me I needed glasses when I didn't, and often they'll tell me that my prescription has changed so little it's probably not worth getting it filled.
We've also been using Dr. Beaumount. He works out of both FYI locations (Town Centre & the mall), he's excellent. They do a full eye exam with mapping, etc to monitor your eye health. When I had a couple of eye injuries he was great as well, explained things really good and put me at ease (I was very fearful of losing my vision). My kids (none of whom wear glasses) love him. My husband and I both see him too, we both wear glasses, my husband full-time, and I do occasionally/as needed which isn't often unless I'm spending lots of time in front of screens. Our lens don't always get changed with each visit.
Hopefully that's helpful.
