Do you have diabetes? Is your medical doctor asking you to get your eyes checked? Do you wonder why?

Updates from Rainier Eye this month

This might seem like a lofty claim until you actually try a pair of Ovvo frames.  Made in Poland from surgical steel, these high-quality modern frames are 70% steel and 30% titanium.

Kids are back to school and we all want to make sure they can see well to learn!  Impaired vision results in learning and developmental delays.  But, kids rarely complain about bad vision because it’s the only way they’ve experienced the world. They don’t know what “normal” vision is and may not have the words to describe issues.

Prevent wrinkles, cataracts, macular degeneration, avoid uncomfortable squinting AND be a safer driver. How, you ask? SUNGLASSES! 

“When should my child have their first eye exam?” is a question we often hear. The mantra is, “Check yearly to see clearly.” There’s a common misconception that a child must be able to read letters to have an eye exam. We have playful tools, toys, and techniques to evaluate nonverbal infants, shy toddlers, and school-age children just learning their letters.

You are invited to our First Anniversary celebration and frame show on Friday, June 21st from 4-7pm. For this one day only, our selection of glasses and sunglasses will TRIPLE!

Spring is here, trees and flowers are blooming, and eyes are itching- allergy season is in full swing! At Rainier Eye, we stock Allegro allergy drops to soothe itchy eyes, flush out pollen, and provide a barrier against allergens landing in your tearfilm. When over-the-counter eyedrops and antihistamines aren’t enough to keep you comfortable, we can examine you and prescribe stronger medications, too.

Congratulations! You just found a rock painted with love by the Rainier Eye team!

What ARE computer glasses? Can’t you use any glasses on your computer? Depending upon your age, this could be a trick question.
