At Vista Eye Center, we know that your time and eye health are both valuable. Whether you’re getting new glasses or exploring advanced dry eye treatments, you deserve clear answers and compassionate care. We’ve compiled the most frequently asked questions from our patients to help guide you through your vision journey.
When Will My Glasses Be Ready?
One of the most common questions we receive is, “How long will it take to get my glasses?”
- Standard glasses: Usually ready in 10–15 business days.
- Prescription sunglasses: May take 4–6 weeks (20–30 business days) due to additional lens treatments like mirrored coatings.
- Same-day service: Available in some cases for single vision lenses with blue light and anti-scratch coatings.
If you need a fast turnaround, ask our team if your prescription qualifies for our same-day options!
What Is IPL Therapy for Eyes and Skin?
IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) therapy is one of today’s most effective treatments for dry eye disease—and it comes with added skin benefits too.
How IPL Helps Your Eyes:
- Relieves symptoms of chronic dry eye
- Reduces inflammation around the eyelids
- Helps stabilize the tear film
Bonus Skin Benefits:
- Fades redness, broken blood vessels, and hyperpigmentation
- Improves skin texture and tone
- Stimulates collagen for smoother skin
IPL is non-invasive, drug-free, and a favorite among patients who want to treat dry eyes and refresh their skin at the same time.
What Is LLLT or LED Light Therapy?
LLLT (Low-Level Light Therapy), also known as medical-grade LED therapy, is another gentle, non-invasive option for dry eye relief.
LLLT Can Help Treat:
- Dry eyes
- Styes
- Blepharitis
- Inflammation of the eyelids
Like IPL, LED light therapy also promotes skin rejuvenation—making it a perfect dual-treatment for both eye health and cosmetic benefits. It’s especially ideal for patients who don’t qualify for IPL or want a gentler approach.
What Is an Eye Cleaning Treatment?
Think of this as a deep cleaning for your eyelids, much like a dental cleaning—but for your vision!
Vista Eye Center offers three in-office treatments to clear out the debris, oil, and bacteria that contribute to irritation and dry eyes:
- Blephex: Uses gentle micro-exfoliation to clean the lash line.
- Zocular Zest: Manually removes biofilm, bacteria, and old makeup.
- Rinsata: A newer technique that deeply cleans under the eyelids and reduces inflammation.
These treatments can help manage dry eyes, allergies, and eyelid inflammation—leading to clearer, more comfortable vision.
How Much Do Contact Lenses Cost?
We offer a wide range of contact lens options, with prices ranging from $36 to $200 per box, depending on brand and type. Better yet, we often have:
- Manufacturer rebates for annual supply purchases
- Special savings that make our in-office prices more competitive than online retailers—even before discounts
