Meet Our Benton Optometrists

Getting accurate vision correction is important and can help you see clearly and perform daily tasks with ease.

Our wide selection of prescription glasses are designed to fit varying vision needs and style preferences. Our optometrists will determine your prescription after a comprehensive eye exam, and recommend the best lenses and frames to fit your prescription and lifestyle.

This includes single vision, bifocal, and progressive lenses, as well as lenses with special coatings to reduce glare, resist scratches, and block harmful blue light and UV rays.
