When your eye exam is complete, you'll have a chance to look over our huge gallery of the most popular eyewear, including designer frames. If you're considering contacts instead of glasses, we can show you those options, as well. The short answer is.they can be safe! Costume contact lenses - also known as cosmetic or decorative contact lenses - are contact lenses that change how your eyes look.

Then went on to University of Missouri-St. Louis to earn her Doctor of Optometry in 2018. She is a recipient of the William Feinbloom Low Vision Award in her graduating class. Dr. Thasan has a sincere passion for ocular disease, contact lenses, low vision, and overall health of patients.

First time going here, and I can say I will be going back for the next check up! Super friendly staff, no waits, very clean and kept up. Had first visit with them yesterday and was impressed with everyone. From reception to techs to optometrist. I've worked in healthcare my entire adult life, so it takes a superb experience to impress me.

They are very thorough when doing your exam which I appreciate, but this practice is focused on sales as their main objective. In office they are pushy about ordering contact and glasses through them. I called to ask for my PD distance which I had paid for at my 2019 exam and they wanted to charge me 10 dollars to tell me that information over the phone. I will not be returning next year.

Professional, modern and immaculate facility with the friendliest staff ever. My husband, our son and I have trusted our eyes to Dr. Thomas for several years now. He is very knowledgeable and thorough in his examination process and is personable. He is always thoughtful to ask about the family. The office carries a wide selection of eyewear. The associate who helped me select my new frames in November was awesome. My name is Trisha Hall.

Excellent facility, everyone working there was very pleasant and professional but beware, their eyeglasses prices are expensive!
I was shown a basic metal frame with progressive lenses, anti glare and "blue blocker" coating and, I also purchased a set of single vision replacement lenses for some computer glasses. Total cost over $1200! Then I was told after deducting what my eye care insurance covered, I was "saving a lot of money" - while still paying over $660??

I recommend Dr. Kaj Thasan - I am impressed by her professionalism, skill, and kindness during eye exams. I also have positive experiences with the front office staff and people who help me choose frames and assist with fitting and adjustment - they really listen to me and take time to answer my questions!
