What did glasses look like in the early 1900s? This pair, worn by my great grandfather circa 1916 worked by pinching his nose bridge to stay in place (this style of spectacles were called Pince Nez).
This picture was taken at his graduation from the Loyola Chicago school of Dentistry. The cord over his ear was an early form of glasses safety guard to keep them from landing on the ground if they fell off.
It is likely that these spectacles were manufactured by American Optical Company. Fun fact: we feature many American-Made American Optical frames in our office today! Stop by and try on a piece of history!

It happened…

We did it!

We have changed our exam schedule in some BIG and exciting ways:

To better streamline exams and lessen wait times, we have implemented specific exam type by week.

We now offer Comprehensive Exam weeks, Medical Exam weeks and Remote exam weeks.

Which exam types is right for you?

Comprehensive: You are 65+ and besides checking the health of your eyes, you need to purchase new glasses.

Medical: all patient exams under 65 and all medical exams and follow up appointments. Are you 65+ and are happy with your current glasses or wear OTC readers? This exam is for you 🤓

Remote: This **NEW** exam option is for all patients 15-64. You will come to the office, check in and be pretested like normal. Dr Tanner will remote in to your exam using the same technology he uses in person. Cool, right?! 😎

Our goal is to seriously shorten the time our patients have to wait to get a quality eye exam.

Post your questions, we’re eager to start a conversation!
