Frisco Eye Doctor ## Posts ### [Blog](https://www.ag-eyecare.com/blog/) **Published:** May 20, 2011 **Author:** Avant Garde Optometry **Excerpt:** --- ### [Don't Bench Your Vision: How to Prevent Eye Injuries in Sports](https://www.ag-eyecare.com/how-to-prevent-eye-injuries-in-sports/) **Published:** September 21, 2026 **Author:** Jamie Yee **Content:** Frisco’s youth leagues, high school teams, and weekend rec players keep busy all year round, both on the field and on the court. But every swing, serve, and fast break carries a risk most parents and adult athletes don’t think about until it happens: eye injuries. The good news? Most injuries are preventable. Here’s what to know about the risks and how to protect your eyes or your child’s. ## What Are the Most Common Eye Injuries in Sports? ![Woman playing beach tennis serving and wearing prescription sports goggles to prevent eye injury](https://www.ag-eyecare.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/09/sports-vision_GettyImages2190370220-300x200.jpg)More than [40% of eye injuries are caused by “sports or recreational activities,”](https://www.aao.org/eye-health/tips-prevention/preventing-injuries) and roughly[ 31,000 sports-related eye injuries](https://www.aao.org/eye-health/tips-prevention/injuries-sports) are treated in U.S. emergency rooms treat every year. However, not every eye injury looks the same. A ball, elbow, or finger to the eye can cause a corneal abrasion (a scratch on the eye’s surface), a hyphema (bleeding inside the eye), or in more serious cases, an orbital fracture or retinal detachment. In the U.S., [basketball causes the most sports-related eye injuries](https://preventblindness.org/basketball-cause-of-most-sports-eye-injuries/) overall, with baseball, softball, hockey, and swimming following close behind. While basketball injuries tend to come from fingers and elbows during close contact, baseball and softball injuries come from the ball itself, which moves fast and is small enough to fit inside the orbital rim. Water sports and hockey carry their own risks too, from pool deck collisions to a puck or stick to the face. That’s exactly the kind of impact regular glasses aren’t built to handle. That’s exactly the kind of impact regular glasses aren’t built to handle. ## Do Kids Need Prescription Sports Goggles? Sports-related injuries make up about 24% of all children’s eye injuries. Which sport carries the most risk depends on age: baseball leads for kids 11 and under, while soccer and football lead for kids 12 and older. Whether or not a kid needs prescription sports goggles depends on the severity of the prescription and the sport. If a child is extremely nearsighted, prescription sports goggles matter for both safety and gameplay. They simply can’t see the action well enough without correction. ### When a Mild Prescription Still Calls for Sports Eyewear A mild prescription doesn’t rule out the need for protection. Baseball is a good example. It requires full stereopsis (depth perception from both eyes working together) and smooth pursuit eye movements to track a small ball at high speed. Baseball asks for both skills at once, which is why we often recommend sports goggles or contacts for young players even with a mild prescription. ## Do Adults Need Sports Goggles, Too? Kids aren’t the only ones at risk of eye injuries during sports activities. Adult rec leagues, pickleball courts, and tennis clubs across the Frisco, Texas area aren’t immune to these incidents either. Racquet sports put a small, fast-moving ball or shuttlecock right at eye level, and cycling and running can expose eyes to debris and UV glare. [Prescription sports goggles](https://www.ag-eyecare.com/sports-vision-exam/) let adult athletes see clearly and stay protected without swapping between contacts and backup glasses mid-game. For sports like basketball, baseball, tennis, and pickleball, they’re worth the investment even for adults with a mild prescription. ## When Can Regular Eyeglasses Be Worn as Protection in Sports? Regular eyeglasses can work, but only in non-contact sports such as tennis, bowling, badminton, and archery. Sports with direct physical contact, like football, soccer, and basketball, put your eyeglasses (and your eyes) at much higher risk of impact. Even in non-contact sports, standard lenses and frames aren’t tested for high-velocity impact the way sports eyewear is. The [ASTM F803 standard](https://www.astm.org/Standards/F803.htm) is the benchmark manufacturers use to certify eye protection for sports, dividing protective eyewear into four types based on design – from molded one-piece lenses to full face shields – and requiring lenses to withstand impacts of [up to 90 mph](https://rx-safety.com/what-does-the-eyewear-designation-astm-f803-stand-for-and-why-is-it-important/?srsltid=AU7gw4URvBSRSubzZV5yoibEaRsiOxRTC5pVWpKfeqjoPGmM2s6CcLse). Everyday frames simply aren’t built to that spec. ## Warning Signs of a Serious Eye Injury Some eye injuries are obvious immediately — heavy swelling, visible bleeding, or a direct hit to the socket are hard to miss. Others take longer to show themselves. Eye pain is the most prominent warning sign, but don’t ignore blurred vision that isn’t improving. Both can signal something more serious than a minor bump. ### When to See an Eye Doctor After Being Hit in the Eye With a Ball You should see an eye doctor immediately if you notice any of the following after an impact: - Ocular redness - Eye soreness - Blurred vision - Eye pain - Light sensitivity - Ocular discharge Do not wait to see if symptoms improve on their own. Some injuries, like a hyphema or retinal detachment, need prompt treatment to prevent lasting or irreversible vision loss. ## How to Choose Prescription Sports Eyewear The right pair of sports eyewear should feel secure enough that you forget you’re wearing it once the game starts. Before purchasing, ask: - Does it fit comfortably underneath a helmet or hat, if you wear one? - Does it slide down your nose when you sweat or shake your head? - Is it centered on your face and comfortable enough to forget about? Fit matters as much as the lens itself. Nearly [90% of serious sports-related eye injuries are preventable](https://www.aao.org/eye-health/tips-prevention/preventing-injuries) with the right protective eyewear, but only when that eyewear actually stays in place during play. ## Schedule a Sports Vision Exam in Frisco, TX Whether you’re outfitting a young athlete for Little League or picking up pickleball for the first time, a [sports vision exam](https://www.ag-eyecare.com/sports-vision-exam/) can confirm the right prescription and fit before game day.

Kids with a strong prescription typically need sports goggles for safety and performance. Even kids with a mild prescription may need them for sports like baseball, which demand sharp depth perception and eye tracking. ### **What sports have the highest risk of eye injuries?** Basketball causes the most sports-related eye injuries overall. [Age plays a role for kids](https://www.aao.org/eye-health/tips-prevention/injuries-children) specifically; younger children (11 and under) are injured most often playing baseball, while those 12 and up see more injuries in soccer and football. ### **Can regular eyeglasses protect my eyes during sports?** Regular eyeglasses only offer protection in non-contact sports like tennis, bowling, badminton, and archery. Contact sports like football, soccer, and basketball call for eyewear certified to the ASTM F803 impact standard instead. ### **What does a sports vision exam include?** A [sports vision exam](https://www.ag-eyecare.com/sports-vision-exam/) builds on a standard prescription check with tests for depth perception, eye tracking, and reaction time, then matches you with sports eyewear fitted to your sport and face. ### **Where is Avant-Garde Optometry located?** Avant-Garde Optometry is located at 9255 Dallas Pkwy, Ste 140, Frisco, TX 75033, near The Star and Stonebriar Centre. **Categories:** Frisco, Glasses, Sunglasses **Tags:** eye injuries, sports goggles, sports vision --- ### [Fall 2018 Eyewear Trends](https://www.ag-eyecare.com/fall-2018-eyewear-trends/) **Published:** July 1, 2020 **Author:** Avant Garde Optometry **Content:** Elle magazine just released the hottest trends in Frisco for Fall 2018.

Ideas like you work because you have to, or that you keep your head down and work until you can’t take anymore. We embrace several innovative ideas for running a small business where our staff is happy and our clients are highly satisfied. We believe Avant-Garde is the best [Optometrist in Frisco, TX](https://www.ag-eyecare.com/), and in this article, we will share why. ![best optometrist in frisco](https://www.ag-eyecare.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/AG-561-edit-240x300.jpg) ## Avant-Garde is the Best Optometrist in Frisco – Here’s Why: ### 1. We believe in the ‘The Happiness Advantage’. [The Happiness Advantage](https://www.amazon.com/Happiness-Advantage-Principles-Psychology-Performance/dp/0307591549) was written by Shawn Achor and has inspired [Avant-Garde Optometry](https://www.ag-eyecare.com/) to live by the principles. Achor talks about how happier people lead more successful lives, think of more creative solutions and are obviously much more fun to work with. Who doesn’t want to go to an optometrist’s office with happy people? Because happiness actually takes great effort and takes a deep desire within. ### 2. Our optometry staff actively works on our EQ or Emotional Intelligence. [‘Emotional Intelligence’](https://www.amazon.com/Emotional-Intelligence-2-0-Travis-Bradberry/dp/1441842233/ref=asc_df_1441842233/) was written by Travis Bradberry and Jean Greaves and Avant-Garde takes these ideas very seriously. This book stresses that being in tune with your emotions and frustrations along with being in tune with others’ emotions and frustrations will help you to better disseminate your ideas and help the group as a whole. Though most or all optometry offices care for their patients, Avant-Garde works tirelessly to find new ways to help and make new suggestions for our patients. We are a transparent company and always seek to provide the best expertise for our clients. ### 3. We believe gratitude is the attitude Because we are a locally run business in [Frisco, TX](https://www.visitfrisco.com/), we have an unflinching gratitude towards all our patients. We know your business pays our bills and helps us grow in the community. Dr. Yee knew she did not want to open a franchise or corporate-run office, but realized it would be years before she saw the volume of a Texas state Optical or a Lenscrafters. We follow leaders such as Jen Sincero, Gabrielle Bernstein, and Gary Vaynerchuk whenever we feel out of alignment with our gratitude towards our powerbase – YOU. . ### 4. Styling our patients inspire us While visiting our optometry office, most people notice one thing immediately – that our optical is very unique. You will rarely see patients walking around without the aid of a stylist. Every frame in our business was handpicked by everyone who works at Avant-Garde. When we look at frames we like to imagine the type of man or woman who would look best in each frame. A few bestsellers line the walls of Avant-Garde but most frames are in exuberant colors or beautiful shapes. When patients walk in the first question we ask is ‘Tell me about yourself: What’s your style? Can you see yourself wearing anything unique?’ When we style a patient in a frame that fits their face and personality perfectly, we get inspired. ## Here is What Some Our Clients Have to Say: > “I was extremely happy with my experience here.

Dr. Yee: You must be very careful when viewing the eclipse. Staring at it for even a few seconds can cause solar retinopathy. Solar retinopathy causes you to see a permanent smudge, black spot or blurred spot where the UV rays damage your retina. This damage is irreversible and so its important that you watch with caution.Sunglasses only filter 10-20% of all UV rays so it is better to watch the eclipse with these than with the naked eye. [Eye doctors](https://www.ag-eyecare.com/) discourage viewing the eclipse with standard sunglasses. Only Eclipse glasses are suggested because it cuts out 100% of UV rays.

Most eye conditions present little or no symptoms, which makes regular exams crucial. The eye is a window into your entire health system, allowing your eye doctor to assess overall health, detect eye diseases, and ensure your vision is clear and comfortable. Even if you feel your vision is fine, it’s important to schedule an eye exam once a year to monitor the health of your eyes. ## **Steps of a Comprehensive Eye Exam** ![Comprehensive Eye Exam](https://www.ag-eyecare.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/Comprehensive-Eye-Exam-300x200.jpg)During a comprehensive eye exam, several tests and procedures are performed to thoroughly assess your vision and the health of your eyes. Below are the key steps involved: ### **1. Visual Acuity Test** The exam usually begins with a visual acuity test, which checks how well you can see at 20 feet. This is the typical “eye chart” test that helps the doctor determine the clarity of your vision at a distance. ### **2. Pupillary Reaction Test** Next, your eye doctor will assess how your pupils react to light. The size and reaction of your pupils can provide insight into your neurological function and general eye health. ### **3. Eye Muscle Coordination Test** Your eye muscles are tested to see how well they work as a team. This involves following a light or object in different directions to assess your eye movements and coordination. ### **4. Visual Field Test** To check your peripheral vision, a visual field test is performed. This can be done through finger counting or using a visual field screener. Your peripheral vision is crucial for daily tasks such as driving. ### **5. Color Vision Test** A color vision test may be performed if requested, or if it’s needed for a DMV screening. This test determines how well you can distinguish different colors and can detect any issues with color perception. ### **6. Intraocular Pressure (IOP) Test** Your intraocular pressure is checked using a machine known as the NCT (Non-Contact Tonometer). This test is essential for detecting early signs of glaucoma, a serious condition that can lead to vision loss if untreated. Since IOP can fluctuate, eye doctors keep a record of all readings for future reference. ### **7. Auto-Refractor Test** An auto-refractor is used to measure the amount of near-sightedness, far-sightedness, and astigmatism. These numbers provide an objective measurement for your prescription and help determine the type of corrective lenses you may need. ### **8. Manifest Refraction (Subjective Refraction)** This is one of the most familiar parts of an eye exam, where you will be asked which lenses provide clearer vision. The doctor will show you different lens options and ask you to choose the clearest one. The results from this test are combined with the auto-refractor measurements to create your final prescription. ### **9. Phorias and Tropias Check (for Patients Under 18)** For children under 18, the doctor will check for phorias and tropias, which are slight misalignments of the eyes. This helps to detect any alignment issues when the eyes are at rest or while reading. ### **10. Eye Health Assessment![Comprehensive Eye Exam Doctor](https://www.ag-eyecare.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/Comprehensive-Eye-Exam-Doctor-224x300.jpg)** Lastly, your eye doctor will assess the health of your eyes by examining different structures, including: - Eyelids - Conjunctiva (the membrane covering the eye) - Cornea - Anterior chamber - Lens - Vitreous gel - Retina This assessment helps to diagnose conditions like dry eye, allergies, cataracts, glaucoma, macular degeneration, and diabetic retinopathy. Additionally, dilation or Optomap imaging may be performed to check for retinal holes, tears, or degeneration. ## **Why Routine Eye Exams Are Essential** A [comprehensive eye exam](https://www.ag-eyecare.com/comprehensive-eye-exam/) not only checks your vision but also assesses the health of your visual system, eye muscles, and the blood vessels inside your eyes. Many eye diseases develop without noticeable symptoms, making regular check-ups important for early detection and prevention. Even if you believe your vision is fine, an annual eye exam is recommended to keep your eyes healthy and your vision sharp.

For eyes, [overexposure to the sun can cause irreversible short and long-term damage](https://www.aao.org/eye-health/tips-prevention/sun) like dry eyes, cataracts, and even eyelid cancer. That’s why polarized sunglasses should be seen as important as wearing sunscreen on your face. People who wear glasses commonly complain that they can’t wear sunglasses because they wear glasses to see. But, it’s not possible to go through 100-degree heat in Frisco with just your glasses. The entire month in August it’s so bright, I probably wear my sunglasses as much as my glasses. Purchasing prescription sunglasses changes your life and greatly increases your comfort. The most common complaint I hear in the summer months is, “the sun and the brightness really affect my eyes so much, and I feel my eyes are burning.” My follow-up question is always, “Is that with your sunglasses?’ And I am shocked to hear how many people respond with, “Oh no, I mean it’s bright with my glasses.” Get the game-changing prescription sunglasses. ## Common Conditions Caused by UV Damage to the Eyes ![man in a suit standing outside in the sun wearing large polarize sunglasses for eye protection](https://www.ag-eyecare.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/sun-protection-3-225x300.jpg)Besides unbelievable brightness and visual discomfort, what else do UV rays cause? Aesthetically, the most common sun damage in the eye is called a **pinguecula**. Pinguecula and pingueculitis are caused by a sensitivity to excessive UV exposure. It commonly appears as a yellow bump on the white part of your eye (conjunctiva). That yellow bump can also cause blood vessels to appear dilated around it, giving someone the appearance that their eyes are always red. A more aggressive version of the eyes reacting to UV rays is when a **pterygium** grows on the cornea. This is non-cancerous, fleshy, triangular growth that typically causes itching or burning sensations and visual impairment. Once a pterygium starts growing on the cornea, it’s noticeable and can only be removed by surgery. The most well-known damage UV rays cause are early **cataracts**. Everyone will eventually get cataracts, but no one wants early aggressive cataracts. ![studio image of man in a suit wearing polarized prescription sunglasses](https://www.ag-eyecare.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/Sun-protection-019-2-300x300.jpg)The normal progression of cataracts is slow development over 20 years, and they usually won’t affect vision until several years or even decades after it’s first diagnosed. But, If someone doesn’t wear sun protection, they commonly get an aggressive version of cataracts and will get changes to their prescription every year, along with declining vision – even with updated lenses. Cataracts tend to cause a large amount of frustration, especially when they change quickly. The most damaging thing UV rays cause is **solar retinopathy**, which can cause irreversible reduced central vision. This blurry vision or blind spot can lead to [permanent vision loss](https://aapos.org/glossary/solar-retinopathy). Other symptoms include headaches, abnormal color vision (dyschromatopsia), and seeing objects as smaller than they actually are (micropsia). The [best prevention against the harmful effects of UV radiation](https://www.ag-eyecare.com/sunglasses-exam/) is always polarized sunglasses.

Maybe the pandemic left a lingering wariness of doctor’s offices, or maybe patients simply got tired of hearing bad news. Either way, routine healthcare visits have dropped, and that’s shifting more of the early-detection burden onto every provider a patient does see, including their optometrist. Most people assume that if they feel fine, they must be fine. But the body can be under serious, silent stress long before any symptom shows up, and diabetes is one of the best examples. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, [diabetic retinopathy is the leading cause of blindness](https://www.cdc.gov/diabetes/diabetes-complications/diabetes-and-vision-loss.html) among working-age adults, and it often develops without any noticeable symptoms in its early stages. A 2023 study led by the CDC’s Vision Health Initiative estimated that 9.6 million Americans, or [26.4 percent of adults with diabetes](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/37318810/), already have some degree of diabetic retinopathy. ## Diabetes Is a Quiet Disease Diabetes doesn’t announce itself the way a broken bone or a bad cold does. Blood sugar can run high for months, or years, without producing symptoms a patient would connect to their eyes or their overall health. That’s exactly why routine screening matters so much: It catches what the patient can’t feel. High blood sugar doesn’t just affect energy levels or thirst. Over time, it [damages the small blood vessels that feed the retina](https://www.nei.nih.gov/learn-about-eye-health/eye-conditions-and-diseases/diabetic-retinopathy), causing them to leak, swell, or grow abnormally. \[3\] More than half of people with diabetes eventually develop some degree of this retinal damage, known as [diabetic retinopathy](https://www.nei.nih.gov/learn-about-eye-health/eye-conditions-and-diseases/diabetic-retinopathy). High blood pressure, high cholesterol, and pregnancy all raise that risk further. \[3\] Early treatment can stop the damage from progressing, though it can’t reverse vision already lost. Catching it early is everything, and optometrists often catch it first: a widely-cited [VSP Vision Care study](https://visionbenefits.vsp.com/content-hub/articles/detecting-diabetes.html) found that eye doctors identified signs of diabetes ahead of a primary care physician or specialist in about 34 percent of cases. ## Two Ways an Eye Exam Can Catch Diabetes Early Optometrists typically pick up early signs of diabetes or prediabetes in one of two ways. ### **![Close-up of an eye exam using a slit lamp light to check for early signs of diabetic retinopathy](https://www.ag-eyecare.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/08/Diabetic-Eye-Exam-Detects-Early-Signs-of-Retinopathy_GettyImages-2152344016-300x158.jpg)Unexplained Eye Prescription Changes** Everyone’s vision shifts slightly over a lifetime, that’s normal. But when an adult over 30 has a large, unexplained jump in their prescription, and their visual demands haven’t changed, they haven’t started a new medication, and they haven’t had any surgery, it’s worth investigating further. In these cases, I tell patients to see their primary care physician and run baseline bloodwork, since a swing that size can be an early flag for blood sugar problems. ### **Dot-Blot Hemorrhages on the Retina** The more common way we catch it is by seeing dot and blot hemorrhages in the retina, either through Optomap imaging or a dilated eye exam. These small hemorrhages don’t always mean diabetes; they can also point to uncontrolled high blood pressure or high cholesterol. Bleeding in the retina rarely causes any symptoms, and a patient will only notice blurred vision if the hemorrhage happens to sit on the fovea, the small area responsible for sharp central vision. Once we see dot-blot hemorrhages, we recommend the patient see their primary care physician within a month. ## What Intermittent Blurry Vision Could Mean Diabetes usually starts quietly, but some patients do notice their vision blur for a few minutes and then clear up on its own. That’s a direct effect of uncontrolled blood sugar temporarily changing the shape of the eye’s lens. Not everyone with diabetes will develop diabetic retinopathy. But the longer diabetes goes uncontrolled, the harder retinopathy becomes to treat and manage. That’s why the American Diabetes Association recommends a dilated eye exam soon after a type 2 diagnosis, within five years of a type 1 diagnosis, and annually after that regardless of type.\[4\] ## How Eye Care and Primary Care Work Together Diabetic eye care isn’t a substitute for a primary care physician, it’s a second set of eyes, literally. Primary care providers track how well a patient’s diabetes is controlled through HbA1c and fasting blood sugar levels; the ADA generally recommends keeping A1C under 7 percent. Optometrists add the retinal piece to that picture, since retinopathy findings tell a doctor how the disease is actually affecting the body’s blood vessels over time. Anyone with diabetes or prediabetes needs a full retinal evaluation, not just a blood test. At our Frisco office, that coordination isn’t an afterthought. Before your [diabetic eye exam](https://www.ag-eyecare.com/diabetic-eye-exams/) even starts, our technicians take time to understand your health background, and afterward, we send a concise report straight to your primary care doctor or endocrinologist so everyone treating you is working from the same information. ## Signs You Shouldn’t Ignore Diabetes-related eye changes rarely come with obvious symptoms, so it helps to know what to watch for: - A large, unexplained change in your glasses or contact lens prescription - Vision that blurs for a few minutes, then clears - Occasional dark spots, floaters, or streaks in your vision - Trouble seeing at night or adjusting to changes in light - A family history of diabetes with no recent comprehensive eye exam ## What to Expect During a Diabetic Eye Screening The good news is that checking for retinopathy is quick and painless. At Avant-Garde Optometry, our [diabetic eye exams](https://www.ag-eyecare.com/diabetic-eye-exams/) use Optomap imaging to capture detailed, stereoscopic views of the retina, so we can fully assess retinal health without instilling dilating drops. We also measure intraocular pressure with the Topcon CT-80 and examine the front and back of the eye with a Topcon SL-D2 slit lamp. All of it syncs directly into your electronic health record. For patients who prefer, or need, a traditional approach, we still offer standard dilation. But Optomap beats it on convenience alone. As I tell my patients, it’s the click of a button versus a five-hour stretch of squinting at bright lights afterward. I’ve spent years digging into diabetic retinopathy research specifically so I can read these images accurately and explain what they mean in plain language, not medical jargon. ## Schedule Your Diabetic Eye Exam in Frisco, TX If you have diabetes, prediabetes, or a family history of either, don’t wait for a symptom to show up before getting checked.

A: We’re at 9255 Dallas Pkwy, Ste 140, Frisco, TX 75033, conveniently near The Star, Stonebriar Centre, and Frisco Square, and we see patients from throughout Frisco and the surrounding North Dallas suburbs. [See what our patients are saying about us](https://www.ag-eyecare.com/testimonials/) — we’ve got an “Excellent” Google rating based on 256 reviews. ### Q: Is a diabetic eye exam different from my regular comprehensive eye exam? A: Yes. A comprehensive exam covers your overall eye health and prescription, including general screening for conditions like glaucoma and cataracts. A diabetic eye exam focuses specifically on the retina’s blood vessels, since that’s where diabetes-related damage shows up first. ### Q: Does pregnancy change how often I need an eye exam if I have diabetes? A: It can. The American Diabetes Association recommends an eye exam before pregnancy or in the first trimester for women with existing diabetes, with additional exams each trimester and up to a year postpartum if retinopathy is present.\[4\] Gestational diabetes carries its own elevated risk, so it’s worth asking your optometrist what schedule fits your situation. ### Q: Can diabetic retinopathy be treated once it starts? A: Yes, in most cases. Treatment options like laser therapy and anti-VEGF medications can stop retinopathy from progressing further, though they generally can’t undo damage that’s already happened.\[5\] That’s the whole case for catching it early. ### Q: Who performs diabetic eye exams at Avant-Garde Optometry? A: [Dr. Jamie Yee and Dr. Roxana Pachecho](https://www.ag-eyecare.com/about/) both see diabetic and prediabetic patients in our Frisco office, and every patient gets a plain-language walkthrough of their results before leaving. ### Q: Is a diabetic eye exam covered by insurance? A: Usually, yes, though it’s typically billed to medical insurance rather than vision insurance, since it’s considered a medically necessary screening rather than a routine vision check. Our team can verify your specific benefits before your visit.

Even the standard 20/20 screening simply measures how well someone reads letters from a set distance. It doesn’t test for farsightedness or astigmatism, two conditions that are much harder to catch because they rarely cause obvious blurred vision. ## Why Standard Eye Tests Miss So Many Vision Problems A child’s eyes have a strong ability to self-correct, at least for a few seconds. During a quick vision test, kids with astigmatism can squint and force the letters into focus just long enough to pass. The moment the test ends, their eyes go right back to constantly focusing and refocusing. Kids don’t know this isn’t normal. With nothing to compare it to, they assume everyone sees the world the way they do. ## How Astigmatism Affects a Child’s Reading Astigmatism keeps a child’s eyes working overtime. That constant refocusing tires them out fast, and kids often start avoiding near tasks altogether, especially reading. This shows up most clearly when children are learning to read. Kids with astigmatism frequently skip words or skip whole lines, and adults often mistake this for a learning disability or an attention disorder instead of a vision issue. ## How Farsightedness Leads to Eyestrain and Misdiagnosis Farsightedness doesn’t usually blur a child’s vision either. Instead, it shows up as extreme eye fatigue, severe eyestrain, or frequent headaches, especially after reading or screen time. Because kids assume their experience is normal, they rarely tell an adult that something is wrong. That silence often leads to a false diagnosis of attention deficit disorder or a learning disability, when the real issue is an uncorrected prescription. I recently treated an 8-year-old patient who had been in learning-disability classes for months. She was severely farsighted. Her parents had no idea her focus and reading trouble came from her eyes. Once she started wearing glasses full time, she no longer needed the learning-disability support. ## Signs Your Child Might Need an Eye Exam ![Little girl getting a pediatric eye exam; covering her eye against vision test chart](https://www.ag-eyecare.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/Student-Eye-Exams_GettyImages-2163176569-300x200.jpg)Kids with astigmatism or farsightedness rarely complain that they can’t see well, so parents need to watch for telling behaviors instead. Schedule an exam if your child: - Gets headaches during or after reading, homework, or screen time - Skips words or loses their place while reading - Avoids books, homework, or other near tasks - Sits unusually close to the TV or holds books close to their face - Rubs their eyes often or says their eyes feel tired - Struggles to concentrate on schoolwork - Squints or tilts their head to bring things into focus ## What Happens During a Comprehensive Eye Exam? A comprehensive eye exam isn’t the same as a school vision screener. A screener checks for nearsightedness in a few seconds. A comprehensive exam evaluates the whole visual system and catches refractive errors. At Avant-Garde Optometry, a comprehensive exam for your child includes: - A review of medical and visual history - Visual acuity testing and prescription measurement - Eye coordination and depth perception evaluation - Internal and external eye health checks - Digital imaging and retinal scans For younger patients, we also run specialized tests, like the unilateral and alternating cover test, to check how a child’s eyes work together and catch conditions such as strabismus early. ## Schedule Your Child’s Pediatric Eye Exam The [American Optometric Association](https://www.aoa.org/educate-your-community/childrens-vision) recommends a comprehensive eye exam for children every year because it’s the only way to catch the refractive errors a school screening can’t. If your child is showing signs of eyestrain, frequent headaches, or trouble focusing on schoolwork, don’t wait for a school screening to confirm it. Schedule a pediatric eye exam at Avant-Garde Optometry in Frisco, TX, and get answers before the school year starts.

Most people expect sunglasses to be gray or brown. Maybe black if they want something darker. And most people do not even think to ask about custom tints, mirror finishes, or sunwear that feels more personal. But sunglasses do not have to be boring. They can protect your eyes, improve comfort in bright Texas sun, and still look like something you actually want to wear. More celebrities, influencers, and fashion-forward patients are showing off custom tinted sunglasses that can be worn indoors, outdoors, or somewhere in between. Soft rose lenses. Warm amber. Bold blue. Subtle gradients. Mirror finishes that make a frame feel completely different. And now, these options are much easier to create with GSRx lens options that make custom tints and mirrors more accessible than they used to be. ## What Is GSRx? GSRx is an optical lab that offers advanced lens options, coatings, tints, mirrors, and sunwear solutions. But GSRx lenses are not just “coatings.” They are solutions for different lifestyles. For some patients, that means polarized sunglasses for driving around Frisco when the glare is brutal. For others, it means a softer tint that feels more comfortable for light sensitivity. And for some, it means a fun color or mirror finish that turns a great frame into a statement piece. The point is not just to make sunglasses look different. The point is to make them work better for how you actually live. ## Why We Recommend Polarized Sunglasses At Avant-Garde Optometry, we always want strong UV protection for our patients. That is why most of our sunwear is made polarized unless a patient requests otherwise or has a specific reason not to use polarization. Polarized lenses help reduce glare from flat, reflective surfaces like roads, water, sidewalks, and car windows. That can make outdoor vision feel clearer and more comfortable, especially while driving. And in North Texas, that matters. The sun is bright. The roads reflect light. The heat can feel intense. If you are wearing regular glasses outside and constantly squinting, your eyes are working harder than they need to. A good pair of prescription sunglasses can be a game changer. ## More Ways to Personalize Your Prescription Sunglasses To create custom tinted polarized sunwear, the process used to take longer. Sometimes days. Sometimes weeks. A specialist had to make the lens, apply the tint, add the right coatings, and hope every step worked with the lens material and prescription. As an optometrist, I have had sunglasses sent back to me with the lab saying the lens could not be made in the special color I wanted. Tinting and mirror finishes had such low demand for so long that many labs never perfected those unique combinations. But that is changing. GSRx has made custom tints and mirror options much more accessible by having many of these lens choices ready to go. That gives patients more room to personalize their sunglasses without making the process feel impossible. ## Sunglasses Should Protect Your Eyes and Fit Your Style Your sunglasses do not have to look like everyone else’s. They can be polarized. They can have UV protection. They can be prescription. They can be custom-tinted. They can have a mirror finish. They can be practical and fun at the same time. So if you have only ever owned gray or brown sunglasses, maybe it is time to try something different. Let me show you all the fun tints and mirrors we can make for your sunglasses.

One week your eyes feel fine. The next, they’re red, watery, itchy, burning, or irritated every time you step outside. Add North Texas wind, heat, and dry air into the mix, and summer eye allergies can become more than a minor annoyance. For many people, symptoms are mild but constant. For others, they are uncomfortable enough to make it hard to work, drive, wear contacts, or enjoy time outside. So how do you know if your red, itchy eyes are “just allergies” or something that needs [an eye exam](https://www.zocdoc.com/practice/avant-garde-optometry-39504?lock=true&isNewPatient=false&referrerType=widget)? Let’s break it down. ## Why Are My Eyes So Itchy and Red? Itchy, red eyes are commonly caused by eye allergies, especially when pollen counts are high. In Frisco, symptoms can flare when the air is full of a mix of tree pollen, grass pollen, weeds, and other outdoor allergens. Not every type of pollen causes the same symptoms for every person. Some allergens may affect your nose more than your eyes. Others can cause burning, watering, mild inflammation, and that gritty, irritated feeling that makes you want to rub your eyes. But rubbing is one of the worst things you can do. When your eyes are already irritated, rubbing can make inflammation worse and intensify the itching. It may feel good for a second, but it usually makes symptoms come back stronger. ## What Should You Do When Your Eyes Are Really Itchy and Red? **Start with the basics:** Do not rub your eyes. If you have an antihistamine eye drop that has worked well for you before, use it as directed. These drops can help calm the allergic response and reduce itching. If you do not have an allergy eye drop, a lubricating dry eye drop can still help. Artificial tears may dilute allergens and histamine on the surface of the eye, which can temporarily ease irritation. No drops nearby? Try a cold compress. Place a clean, cold towel over your closed eyes for a few minutes to help reduce itching, redness, and swelling. Also, pay attention to patterns. If your eyes feel worse after being outdoors, after mowing, after windy days, or when local pollen counts are high, allergies may be part of the problem. ## What Causes Eye Allergies in the Summer? Summer eye allergies are often tied to grass pollen early in the season and ragweed later in the summer. In North Texas, wind can also move allergens around quickly, which means symptoms may change from week to week. That is why one summer may feel manageable, and the next may feel brutal. For many Frisco residents, seasonal allergies follow a pattern: - Tree pollen often appears earlier in spring. - Grass pollen tends to build in late spring and early summer. - Ragweed usually becomes more noticeable in late summer and can continue into fall. - Other weeds, grasses, and outdoor irritants can add to the problem. Once you understand your personal allergy triggers, it becomes easier to anticipate when your eyes may flare up and when you may need extra support. ## How Long Do Seasonal Eye Allergies Last? ![Summer time. sad woman in white shirt with handkerchief and eyeglasses dealing with summer eye allergies near a flowering tree.](https://www.ag-eyecare.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/Summer-Allergies_GettyImages-2041324833-300x200.jpg)That depends on what you are allergic to. For some people, symptoms last a few weeks. For others, eye allergy symptoms can come and go for months because different allergens peak at different times. In Frisco, seasonal allergies can feel especially unpredictable because pollen and irritants shift with the weather, wind, and time of year. If your symptoms return every year around the same time, seasonal allergies may be the cause. But if your eyes stay irritated even when pollen counts are lower, dry eye or another condition may also be contributing. That is an important distinction. Allergies and dry eyes can feel similar. Both can cause redness, burning, watering, and discomfort. But they are not treated the same way. That is why an eye exam can be helpful when symptoms linger, worsen, or keep coming back. ## How Do You Know If It Is Allergies or an Infection? Allergies usually cause itching, watering, mild redness, and sometimes swelling. Both eyes are often affected, especially after exposure to pollen, grass, dust, or other allergens. Infections are usually more intense. They may cause more significant pain, thick discharge, crusting, light sensitivity, or symptoms that get worse quickly. A red eye with pain should always be taken seriously. Contact lens wearers should be especially careful. Contacts can make irritation and inflammation worse, and some contact lens-related eye problems need prompt treatment. ## When Should You Be Worried About Itchy or Red Eyes? It may be time to [schedule an eye exam](https://www.zocdoc.com/practice/avant-garde-optometry-39504?lock=true&isNewPatient=false&referrerType=widget) if: - Your symptoms last more than a week. - Your eyes keep getting worse, even with allergy drops. - You have eye pain. - You notice discharge, crusting, or significant swelling. - Your vision changes or becomes blurry. - Light starts bothering your eyes. - You wear contacts and your eyes are red or painful. - You are not sure whether it is allergies, dry eye, or an infection. Mild allergy symptoms may improve with the right over-the-counter drops, cold compresses, and avoiding triggers. But if your eyes are painful, worsening, or not improving, an optometrist should take a closer look. ## What to Expect During a Red Eye Exam If your eyes stay red, itchy, irritated, or painful, an eye exam can help determine the real cause of your symptoms. During a [red eye exam](https://www.ag-eyecare.com/red-eye-exams/), your optometrist can evaluate the surface of your eyes, check your vision, and examine your eyes with specialized equipment to look for signs of inflammation, infection, dry eye, contact lens irritation, or other concerns. This step matters because red eyes can look similar from the outside, even when the cause is different. For patients with ongoing burning, gritty, or irritated eyes, a [dry eye exam](https://www.ag-eyecare.com/dry-eye-exams/) may also help identify whether the tear film is out of balance. From there, treatment may include targeted drops, tear-stabilizing products, in-office therapies, or other options based on what your eyes need. ## Schedule Your Red Eye Exam in Frisco, Texas You do not have to guess your way through eye discomfort. If your symptoms are not improving, keep coming back, or feel more intense than typical seasonal allergies, [schedule a red eye exam](https://www.zocdoc.com/practice/avant-garde-optometry-39504?lock=true&isNewPatient=false&referrerType=widget) with Avant-Garde Optometry in Frisco, Texas.

After the age of 40 everyone experiences the beginning effects of presbyopia. **Presbyopia is the natural decline in the eye’s ability to see at 40cm or closer.** As the years go by, the crystalline lens gets thicker. At the age of 40, the lens has grown thick, becoming less flexible and the ciliary body less effective at making the lens change shape to view objects up close. ## How Presbyopia Affects Near-Sighted Vision ![mature woman with presbyopia using glasses to read a tablet](https://www.ag-eyecare.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/Age-Related-Vision_GettyImages-1446888509-300x200.jpg)This greatly confuses people who are near-sighted. For near-sighted people when you wear glasses or contacts, it perfectly fixes your distance vision. After the age of 40, near-sighted people need readers or multifocals to see distance and near at the same time. The confusion comes when a near-sighted person takes off their distance glasses and can see up close; thus they think something is wrong with the glasses. But the optics are quite simple. When you are near-sighted and you wear glasses or contacts, you become emmetropic. The second you take off your glasses; you go back to being near-sighted, which is why near-sighted people can see up close without glasses or contacts. ## How Presbyopia Impacts Far-Sighted Vision People who are far-sighted notice presbyopia the earliest and can even notice it at age 38 or 39. The natural evolution of the eyes is to become more far-sighted and more presbyopic. Far-sighted people are always the first people who want to solve presbyopia with multifocal contacts, only to be greatly disappointed by the level of vision the contacts will yield. Multifocal contacts are great for spectacle independence, especially when traveling, being active and for parties. But multifocal contacts are not the perfect solution if you need to stare at a computer all day or do heavy reading. Unfortunately, the best solution for presbyopia that yields the best visual results is to wear glasses. ## The Best Solutions for Presbyopia Now, only 15 years ago the only two options were single vision distance/single vision near or progressives. Ten years ago, a new lens was developed in the US that we call **Hoya’s boosted lens**. The sync lens is not multifocal, as two focal points are not added to the lens. Instead, Hoya manipulates the base curve of the bottom of the lens to ‘boost’ it. This lens is much easier to get used to than a full progressive. All progressives limit your peripheral visual field and give you thousands of focal points of clarity. Sync lens is simple; it corrects distance only at the top, and it boosts near by +0.5, +0.9, +1.3 and +2 on the bottom. If you have ever had a bad experience with progressives, ask about the sync lens. With presbyopia affecting the masses, a new drug named **Qlosi** was released on the market. Qlosi is an eye drop that makes your pupils small or miotic. Its purpose is to ‘mask’ or decrease presbyopia for six hours. I prescribe this drop to people who want to see during conferences, travel, or events. It’s not meant to eliminate presbyopia, but it can give you some of your accommodation back for a few hours. Many people who did intense reading or spreadsheets up close need a +1.00 reader to see small numbers or read small text. The only people who cannot ever take Qlosi are myopes or past myopes that have had LASIK. Qlosi can unfortunately cause retinal holes, tears, and detachments in myopes. **If you have any questions, ask your optometrist.** ## Types and Symptoms of Cataracts ![senior woman undergoing a cataract eye exam](https://www.ag-eyecare.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/Cataract-Exam_GettyImages-2194207017-300x200.jpg)The other unavoidable age-related eye condition is cataracts. Every person will have a form of cataracts at the age of 55. Normally, age-related cataracts are **nuclear cataracts**, and they are protein-based cataracts that grow the slowest. **Posterior subcapsular cataracts** are cells that grow the fastest. **Cortical cataracts** are water based, and they are variable in how aggressively they grow. When cataracts grow in, they tend to change the optics of the eyes, which thus changes the prescription of the eye. Between the ages 55-70, we tend to see larger prescription changes because of the cataracts growing in. The most common symptoms people experience is blurred vision and glare at night. Once cataracts are diagnosed, you should always see your optometrist once a year to look for changes. Most people will need cataract surgery in their upper 70s or lower 80s. Cataract surgery is a short surgery, but because you are awake during the procedure and because the IOL cannot be changed, always ask your optometrist who they recommend. To receive a **[comprehensive eye exam](https://www.ag-eyecare.com/comprehensive-eye-exam/)** or **[cataract eye exam](https://www.ag-eyecare.com/cataract-exams/)** in Frisco, Texas, book an appointment online with Avant-Garde Optometry.

In the 1990s all eyewear was about minimalism. Rimless and tiny glasses were the craze 20 years ago and then the early 2000s countered with extremely oversized thick glasses. The oversized glasses were meant to make women’s faces look smaller and skinnier. The oversized glasses were fabulous but unfortunately, people also noticed they were exceptionally heavy, and most people couldn’t wear them all day. ## Trendy Glasses for Women in 2024 The good news is that there are trendy frames out there for everyone in 2024. Whether you love bold statement pieces or prefer a more classic look, you’re sure to find something that fits your style. Here’s a closer look at the two major trends in women’s glasses. ### Oversized Metal Frames![trendy glasses for women](https://www.ag-eyecare.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/IMG_2299-225x300.jpg) The hottest new trendy glasses for women are oversized metals with fun bold colors and shapes. Metals tend to sit on the nose more easily than plastic frames. Because the nose pieces are easier to fit, it’s easier to wear oversized metal eyewear. The classic oversized gold frames are popular amongst teenagers. Women in the professional workplace are wearing metals with blue, purple, or even yellow outlines. These bold metals range in the shapes of round, modified large cat eyes and even pentagons. ### ![best trendy glasses for women](https://www.ag-eyecare.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/IMG_2084-225x300.jpg)Plastic Frames (Cat Eye & Clear Plastic) The women who aren’t in a metal frame, are wearing softer, thinner plastic cat eye frames in black, purple or magenta. Also, clear plastic, grey transparent and pink transparent frames are flying off the shelf. All the top designers, Gucci, Dior and Miu Miu are making their version of bold transparent frames. Clear and transparent frames are like the modern version of rimless frames from the 90s. *(Wondering which style to choose from? Read our blog post:* [*How to Pick Glasses for Your Face Shape).*](https://www.ag-eyecare.com/glasses-for-face-shape/) ## Trendy Glasses for Women Who Love to Travel Travel is a chance to broaden your horizons and immerse yourself in new cultures. Your eyewear can be an extension of this adventurous spirit. Here are some tips to consider when choosing glasses for travel: - **Durability:** Opt for frames made from high-quality materials that can withstand being tossed in your bag or backpack. Look for lightweight yet sturdy materials. - **Versatility:** Consider a versatile pair of glasses that can easily transition from sightseeing to a fancy dinner. - **Sun Protection:** Sunglasses are a must-have for any travel wardrobe. Choose a pair with UV protection to shield your eyes from the sun’s harmful rays. (See our blog post on [Trendy Sunglasses](https://www.ag-eyecare.com/trendy-sunglasses-for-fall/)). ### Bold-Shaped Frames (Europe & South America)![trendy glasses for women who travel](https://www.ag-eyecare.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/20170410_122744-169x300.jpg) For travel enthusiasts, they like to wear bold-shaped frames with minimal designer logos. Because there are many countries that are notoriously known for pickpockets, you never want to wear anything that draws attention to yourself. When you are wearing eyewear with large logos, it makes you a target in other countries. Wearing bold frames with fun colors is extremely common in Europe and South America. If you are wearing bright red frames, while traveling, it doesn’t look flashy or ostentatious. Bold-colored frames make the woman appear stylish and confident. ### ![trendy frames for women](https://www.ag-eyecare.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/IMG_6253-225x300.jpeg)Black and Gold Frames (Asia) If you are traveling in Asian countries, they tend to wear more black and gold frames but colorful frames don’t stand out as a gaudy accessory. Sunglasses in Asian countries have extreme shapes that are bold and eye-catching. In sum, when traveling, bring bold shapes with minimal logos and feel free to bring all the fun-colored frames you like! Travel is all about showing who you are in a culture that is different from your own. Amazing style translates in every country and every language. ## Avant-Garde has a Variety of Trendy Glasses for Women We know you love trendy glasses, and so do we!

Keep reading to learn when you should get checked. Have you ever stared at a screen for too long, then felt your eyes dry out and sting when you finally looked away? Or gone up to get something from the attic, and rubbed your eyes the entire way down? If so, you’re familiar with the effects of burning eyes, and the discomfort they bring. While we know that certain triggers like dust can cause this sensation, there are other reasons you may experience it as well. Today, we’re taking a look at a few causes that might be attributed to the burn you feel. We’ll also discuss how long you should wait before seeking medical attention. Ready to learn more? Let’s go! ## Causes of Burning Eyes ### 1. Environmental Conditions ![causes of burning eyes from sun and wind](https://www.ag-eyecare.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/Causes-of-Burning-Eyes-from-Environment-300x200.jpg) While dust is one of the most common eye irritants present in your environment, it’s far from the only one. Your eyes might also burn on an especially windy day or a very sunny one, adding to the importance of sunglasses. In keeping with extreme weather conditions, also take caution on a very cold day. When you walk out into the cold, the moist top layer of your cornea [can dry out](http://www.washingtonexaminer.com/why-do-my-eyes-tear-up-in-the-cold/article/2517278), causing your eyes to burn and water. Apart from these occurrences, you may also get burning eyes in the presence of smoke or other airborne substances such as hairspray, perfume, pet dander, or pollen. Even swimming in a chlorinated pool can cause your eyes to burn, so don’t forget your goggles! ### 2. Dry Eye and Other Conditions ![causes of burning eyes](https://www.ag-eyecare.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/Causes-of-Burning-Eyes-300x200.jpg) One of the more serious underlying causes of burning eyes is a condition known as dry eye. Your eyes need tears to lubricate them and keep them nourished. As you blink, they protect your eye, help remove foreign matter, and keep your vision clear. When your eyes fail to produce enough quality tears to perform this function, they can easily dry out, burn, and become scratchy. Dry eye is especially common [in older adults](https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0002939414716885), though it can affect anyone. If you suspect your burning eyes are due to dry eye versus short-term exposure to an irritating substance, don’t hesitate to contact your eye care professional, who can provide treatment. This visit can also determine if you’re experiencing symptoms of an eye-related illness, such as Conjunctivitis, Blepharitis (eyelid inflammation), or Sjogren’s Syndrome, so it’s important to schedule it as soon as possible. ### 3. Strained Eyes ### ![burning eyes caused by looking at the computer](https://www.ag-eyecare.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/burned-eyes-caused-by-looking-at-the-computer-300x199.jpg) Sometimes, your eyes become strained if you sit and look at your computer or television, or read a book, for too long without looking up. When this happens, your eyes can burn. You might also feel pain and itchiness around your eyes and experience fatigue and blurred vision. While long-term exposure to the light from digital screens could [permanently damage your retinas](https://time.com/3257927/you-asked-can-computers-ruin-eyes/), eye strain is usually only temporary. To prevent it, try to look up every 20 minutes or so and blink your eyes slowly about 10 times. As you do so, you’ll re-moisten your eyes. Remember to keep your work area well-lit and sit at least arm’s distance from your screen to prevent reoccurrence. ## Do You Have Burning Eyes? We Can Help! Whether you’re seeking relief from an eye condition, need prescription glasses, or want top-quality contacts lenses, connecting with an eyecare professional is key. Avant-Garde [Optometry in Frisco](https://www.ag-eyecare.com/), TX is dedicated to providing our clients with the care and attention their eyes deserve.

Let me start with contacts. ## When Are Contacts a Good Choice? ![optometrist holding eyeglasses in one hand and a case for contacts in the other](https://www.ag-eyecare.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/Avant-Garde_ContactLens_GettyImages-1402856142-300x200.jpg)Contacts are an amazing option for spectacle independence. There will always be situations where glasses are not possible, such as snorkeling trips, skiing vacations, and beach getaways where you prefer wearing sunglasses all day instead of prescription glasses. Also, people who are extremely active might get tired of their glasses sliding down their nose or getting too oily during high-intensity workouts. These would be great candidates for contacts. Contacts are also great for travelling in general, so that glasses and sunglasses don’t have to be constantly switched out. Remember, if you lead an active lifestyle, always have a current prescription for contacts on hand. ## When Are Contacts Not the Best Option? Contacts are not recommended if you have a large astigmatism or expect pristine vision with multifocal/monovision contacts. All eye doctors know immediately when a patient should not use multifocal contacts. While multifocal glasses can give you clarity at every focal point, the same cannot be said for multifocal contacts. With multifocal contacts, different treatment zones of near and distance are shown as you blink and look through the contacts. Your brain will filter near and distance corrections within the contact lens based on what you’re looking at. Unfortunately, some brains cannot ignore the wrong treatment zone. As an example, imagine you are driving and looking in the distance. When you blink with the contacts, the near zone will come into view while you are driving. Some brains can adapt to this, ignore the near zone, and only focus on the distance ring of the contact lens. However, some cannot. Also, multifocal and high astigmatism contacts are not meant for use in jobs with heavy computer work, spreadsheets, or small numbers and small print. The contacts are actively moving on the eye while you are blinking, which can make the vision less than perfect. For anyone who is unhappy with the vision in contacts, I suggest wearing them when traveling and for active activities but avoiding them on long workdays with excessive small print and small numbers. Also, multifocal contacts cannot work effectively in environments with low lighting. Two jobs that come to mind are a flight attendant and a radiology technician. They both work in low lighting with low contrast, and thus, multifocal contacts do not work. For both occupations, we recommended glasses when at work and contacts for parties and or when traveling. ## Choosing Between Glasses and Contacts For glasses and contacts, both can work in your favor if you explain your visual expectations to your optometrist. There are also new medications called Qlosi and Vizz eyedrops that can [treat presbyopia](https://www.ag-eyecare.com/what-is-presbyopia-symptoms-of-cataracts/) (the gradual, age-related loss of the ability to focus clearly on nearby objects) for 4-6 hours, so users do not need reading glasses. When speaking to a large group of people, I say glasses always give you the best clarity, but contacts, on the other hand, can give you greater flexibility, so you aren’t forced to wear frames all day, every day. Prescription supplements can also give you more flexibility with your vision, but these only last for a few hours. As always, your first best step is making an appointment with your eye care provider to go over your vision needs and options. ## FAQs About Contact Lens Examinations ### **Q: Do I need a different exam for contact lenses?** **A:** Yes. A contact lens exam includes additional measurements to ensure lenses fit your eyes safely and comfortably. ### **Q: What goes into a contact lens exam?** **A:** In addition to a standard vision exam, a contact lens exam may include corneal mapping, tear film evaluation, and trial lenses to check comfort and vision. Your doctor may also schedule a short follow-up visit to confirm the lenses fit properly and your vision is clear. ### **Q: How often should I get an eye exam if I wear contacts?** **A:** Most contact lens wearers should have an eye exam once a year. Regular exams help ensure your prescription is accurate and your eyes remain healthy while wearing lenses. ### **Q: Where is Avant-Garde Optometry located?** **A:** Avant-Garde Optometry is located at **9255 Dallas Parkway, Suite 140, Frisco, TX**, near The Star and Stonebriar Centre.

If you notice your eyes are burning, there could be several causes. In February, environmental factors commonly cause that burning sensation. Going outside with cold dry and windy air can easily deplete your tear film. If you have been indoors all day, running that heater all day also causes dry hot air to deplete your tear film as well. If you mostly notice [burning eyes in the winter](https://www.ag-eyecare.com/dry-eye-exams/), you likely need light dry eye therapy on both layers of your tear film or you need management of capped meibomian glands. During the winter months, everyone will get capped or stagnated meibomian glands due to the cold weather. An easy fix is closing your eyes in the shower and letting the warm water beat down on your eyelids. ## Reasons for Burning Eyes in the Spring If you get burning and watery eyes during the spring months, this is commonly eye allergies. If you have no history of getting eye allergies in the spring, it could be a combination of mild eye allergies, dry eyes and capped meibomian glands. ## Digital Causes Also, if you feel [burning eyes after looking at a digital device](https://www.ag-eyecare.com/how-screen-time-affects-your-eyes/) for several hours, it is likely you are not blinking enough. Every 20 minutes, try to do mindful blinking, where you blink extra hard a few times to get the meibom moving. If this is not helping, [see your optometrist](https://www.ag-eyecare.com/computer-vision-exam/) for a meibomian gland assessment. ## Over-the-Counter Therapies For light dry eye therapy anything made by Allergan, the Refresh family, or Alcon, the systane daily is a safe bet. Extensive research goes into these two companies when they create the eyedrops. The worst offender to use is Visine. Visine has unwanted preservatives that do not interact well with our eye biology. If you are already using Refresh or Systane and still feel burning eyes, consult your eye doctor. ## In-Office Treatment Whether in winter or spring, burning eyes could be due to many reasons. Always consult your eye doctor with these questions – especially if you notice symptoms getting worse or failing to improve.

With the rise of juniper, acacia, and cedar in early January, be on the lookout for [red, itchy, watery, burning eyes](https://www.ag-eyecare.com/red-eye-exams/). When over-the-counter anti-histamine eye drops aren’t cutting it, [visit your eye doctor](https://www.ag-eyecare.com/) to see what additional therapies and treatments you can do. **And remember, never rub your eyes.** If your eyes are feeling super itchy and you want to scratch, put a super cold towel on top of your eyes to decrease the inflammation, and the need to rub your eyes will decrease. When it gets cold, dry, and windy, consider using a humidifier at night. Our eyes will dry out, and our corneas will swell overnight with the heaters. Humidifiers can help our eyes and nasal passages feel more comfortable. ## What Is Meibomian Gland Dysfunction? A [common dry eye ailment](https://www.ag-eyecare.com/dry-eye-exams/) in the winter months is meibomian gland dysfunction. The meibom will be less mobile when the temperature drops. Doing warm compress therapy with Oasis rest and relief masks is highly recommended 1-3 times a week for 5 minutes. Dr. Yee can also express the meibomian glands with Ocusoft Thermal one therapy. ## Determining the Cause of Your Allergy Symptoms There are many ways to battle eye allergies, but the biggest question is what is causing your symptoms. Commonly, people will experience dry eye, blepharitis, eye inflammation, or mild infections, which can be mistaken for eye allergies. Always see your optometrist when you first notice symptoms. If you notice your eyes burning when you are outdoors, your eyes are likely not tolerating the pollen and pollutants in the air. Dallas has a constant stream of new allergens that come in each week, so it’s not uncommon to have bad reactions to the air for a week or two, only to have it all pass through a week later. And in your home, always get the best air filters and think of getting air purifiers in the rooms you frequent the most. **If you are experiencing dry, itchy, burning, or red eyes, schedule your office visit today.** [BOOK YOUR EYE EXAM](https://www.zocdoc.com/practice/avant-garde-optometry-39504?lock=true&isNewPatient=false&referrerType=widget) **Categories:** Eyecare, Frisco, Frisco TX, Uncategorized **Tags:** burning eyes, dry eyes, eye allergies, eye care, eye exam, how to get rid of winter allergies, itching eyes, itchy eyes, red eyes, winter allergies --- ### [Seeing What’s Next: How AI & Innovation Shapes Modern Eye Care](https://www.ag-eyecare.com/how-ai-innovation-shapes-modern-eye-care/) **Published:** December 22, 2025 **Author:** ironcore **Content:** ![modern eye care and technology used in patient eye health exam](https://www.ag-eyecare.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/best-technology-for-eye-care-300x200.jpg)At Avant-Garde Optometry, innovation isn’t about chasing trends; it’s about finding better ways to care for patients, communicate important health messages, and stay ahead of changes that can impact long-term vision. That’s why our practice is proud to be the first in the area to leverage AI-driven storytelling as part of our patient outreach. In healthcare, technology only matters when it improves outcomes. For optometry, that means clearer diagnostics, earlier detection, better education, and more meaningful connections with the people we serve. Embracing new tools, whether in the exam room or in how we communicate, is part of our ongoing commitment to providing the highest standard of eye care. ## Innovating With Purpose Eye health is constantly evolving. Advances in imaging, diagnostics, and treatment allow optometrists to identify subtle changes earlier and tailor care more precisely than ever before. At Avant-Garde Optometry, staying at the forefront of these advancements isn’t optional; it’s essential. That same forward-thinking approach extends beyond clinical technology. We know our patients are often busy and overloaded with information. Traditional reminders about eye exams can easily get lost in the noise. We believe education works best when it’s engaging, memorable, and relevant, so we’re always looking for new ways to communicate important messages about your vision and eye health. ## A Creative Take on an Important Message That philosophy inspired our short AI-enhanced video. In a fun play on the *Jurassic Park* theme, our adventurers spy a “coconut” on the ground only to realize on closer inspection, it’s something very, very different. Just like in the video, what we think we see isn’t always the full picture. Our eyes and brains constantly make assumptions, filling in gaps based on past experiences. Most of the time, that works just fine. But when it comes to eye health, those assumptions can cause people to overlook subtle vision changes, eye strain, or early signs of disease. Many eye conditions develop gradually and without obvious symptoms, making regular eye exams one of the most important tools for protecting long-term vision. ## Why Eye Health Checkups Matter Routine eye exams do far more than check how well you can read a chart. They allow your optometrist to evaluate the overall health of your eyes, monitor changes over time, and detect issues early, often before you notice any difference in your vision. By using this creative, AI approach, our goal was simple: spark curiosity and remind people that eye health deserves attention. If the video makes you laugh *and* makes you think, that’s a win. ## Technology in Service of Better Care Using AI for storytelling is just one example of how Avant-Garde Optometry approaches innovation with intention. From advanced diagnostic equipment to modern practice tools and thoughtful patient communication, we continually invest in technology that supports better care, better understanding, and better outcomes. Being future-focused means more than adopting new tools. It means using them responsibly, thoughtfully, and always in service of patient health. Every decision we make is guided by one question: *How does this help our patients see and live better?* Now seriously — get your eyes checked.

Because the vast majority of the population is glued to the screen, there are many phone applications designed to track time and remind you to **follow the 20-20-20 rule or blink more intentionally** while using screens. Let’s look into these two programs that help people who frequently use the computer. ## The 20-20-20 Rule **![How screen time affects your eyes: Portrait of a woman with eyeglasses working on a computer at night](https://www.ag-eyecare.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/blue-light-glasses_GettyImages-1895046854-300x200.jpg)The 20-20-20 rule** is commonly encouraged by eye doctors and primary care physicians. The rule states that for every 20 minutes of screen time, you should look away at 20 feet for 20 seconds. This allows the eyes to have a break from long periods of screen time. Studies have shown **people are more likely to squint and strain while focusing on a screen** versus reading a book. All screens give off blue light, thus blue-blocking, anti-reflective treatments and blue-blocking lenses were created. By blocking out the blue light, your eyes can relax and decrease the need to squint and strain. For anyone who is a student or has a tech job, blue, anti-reflective treatment or blue-blocking lens is a must. They also have found **looking at screens 20 minutes before going to sleep can disrupt your REM sleep** and make it harder to fall asleep. Some companies claim blue-blocking lenses help you fall asleep. But in all honesty, blue blocking lenses just stop the blue light from entering your visual system, which thus can counter the effect screens have on your sleep. It’s still a stretch, however, to say blue blocking helps you to go to sleep. ## Why Is It Important to Fully Blink While on Screens? For conscious blinking and screen time, studies have shown when people look at a screen for long periods of time, they fail to fully blink. This failure to blink causes meibomian gland dysfunction. **![Tired woman suffering eyestrain using phone in the night](https://www.ag-eyecare.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/digital-eye-strain_GettyImages-1309957894-300x200.jpg)Meibomian gland dysfunction** is difficult for people to self diagnose as the cloggage of glands happens underneath the eyelid surface. Symptoms people commonly experience are feeling dry eyes, gritty eyes, burning eyes, or heavy sore eyes. The only way to unclog the glands is with heat and mechanical pressure. This can be achieved in the shower letting the warm water bat down on the eyelids, or by using the **Oasis rest and relief mask** (sold at Avant-Garde). You can also visit your optometrist, and we can heat your glands with **Ocusoft Thermal 1-Touch** and express the glands manually. If you have a chronic problem with Meibomian gland dysfunction, I can refer you out for IPL or Lipiflow. If, after a long day of working at a computer, you are feeling the effects of eyestrain or dry eyes, visit your eye doctor and see what they recommend. At Avant-Garde, we offer [computer vision exams](https://www.ag-eyecare.com/computer-vision-exam/) and [dry eye therapy](https://www.ag-eyecare.com/dry-eye-exams/) to protect your vision and help you see your absolute best.

These weakened vessels can leak fluid or blood, causing the retina to swell, affecting your vision. Over time, this damage may cause blurred vision, floaters, or even permanent vision loss if left untreated. The scary thing about diabetic retinopathy is there are rarely any symptoms. ## How Optometrists Diagnose and Monitor Retinopathy A **[diabetic eye exam](https://www.ag-eyecare.com/diabetic-eye-exams/)** is similar to a comprehensive eye exam except either dilation or seven fundus photos of different viewpoints of the retina are required. This ensures we can accurately assess how many bleeds are occurring and how many areas of the retinas are affected or at risk. Only patients that have symptoms tend to have diabetic macular edema. Diabetic macular edema is leakage and swelling on the central vision. All eye doctors rate the level of diabetic retinopathy and then rate any macular edema and report this information to the patient’s primary care physician and/or endocrinologist. If a high level of retinopathy is seen, optometrists follow up every six months, but if minimal or no retinopathy is seen we follow up annually. The longer blood sugar is not controlled, the more likely we will see retinopathy. However, there are many diabetic patients that go against the trend. Meaning, people with low blood sugar and low A1C, can still have retinopathy. Also, people with extremely high blood sugar and A1C can have no retinopathy. ## Why Diabetic Eye Exams Are So Important Diabetes and prediabetes are becoming an increasingly large problem in the healthcare system. It is always recommended at all stages of life to see a primary care physician and get full blood work done once a year. This blood work will let you know if you have diabetes or prediabetes. With diabetes, primary care doctors, endocrinologists, optometrists and dietitians work closely together to keep patients healthy. Don’t ever ignore high blood sugar and definitely do not ignore a high A1C. Uncontrolled diabetic retinopathy commonly causes impaired vision and can cause permanent blindness. Keep Frisco seeing well and get your eyes checked. **[Avant-Garde Optometry in Frisco, TX](https://www.ag-eyecare.com/)** offers personalized **[diabetic eye exams](https://www.ag-eyecare.com/diabetic-eye-exams/)** and will work in collaboration with your health care team.

From 1st to Emergency Pediatric Eye Exams](https://www.ag-eyecare.com/pediatric-eye-exams-when-do-kids-need-eye-exams/) **Published:** September 19, 2025 **Author:** Avant Garde Optometry **Content:** ## When Should a Child Have Their First Eye Exam? **![when do kids need eye exams](https://www.ag-eyecare.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/when-do-kids-need-eye-exams-225x300.jpeg)The ideal time to get your kids’ eyes checked is eight years old.** Before the age of eight children’s eyes are still developing and a large majority of kids younger than 8 are farsighted (eyes are too short). For most, children under eight are far-sighted because their eyes are still developing. At the age of eight we can see your child’s base prescription. A decade ago, most kids became near-sighted (eyes too long) around 11-13 for girls and 13-15 for boys. In present day, we commonly see nearsightedness in children as young as five years old. ## Signs Your Child Needs a Pediatric Eye Exam If you notice your child squinting or have difficulty reading or if they avoid reading, **[always get their eyes checked](https://www.ag-eyecare.com/comprehensive-eye-exam/)****.** Children are commonly misdiagnosed with learning disabilities when in fact they simply cannot see correctly. When children are far sighted, it takes greater effort and much eyestrain to read up close. Because it takes such great effort and their eyes get tired, they avoid reading or are uninterested in reading. When kids become nearsighted at a young age, it is usually more obvious because they cannot see in the distance, thus they squint and get closer to see things. The only time it’s **extremely urgent to see an eye doctor** is if you notice your child’s eyes are not aligned. If you ever see an eye going in or out, even if it’s a newborn, it’s essential to take your child to a pediatric ophthalmologist. If they are older than six, Dr. Yee can see them and refer them to a binocular vision optometrist. ![when should a child have their first eye exam](https://www.ag-eyecare.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/when-to-get-your-kids-eyes-checked-225x300.jpg)There are also hidden prescriptions that kids can have, such as astigmatism. If kids have astigmatism, they can squint and pass a basic vision test. They are only able to pass due to squinting and straining. **Astigmatism needs to be diagnosed early** so the eyes can develop correctly. **Other important conditions that need to be diagnosed early include:** - Amblyopia - Congenital cataracts - Corneal abnormalities - Eyelid abnormalities - Retinal dystrophies and degenerations. Most of these conditions yield low to no symptoms and rarely affect vision, but if it goes undiagnosed, it can have permanent consequences for the person’s sight in the future. ## How Often Do Kids Need Eye Exams? If your child has always had perfect vision results at a young age, it’s still **[best to bring them to an optometrist once a year](https://www.ag-eyecare.com/comprehensive-eye-exam/)****.** If your child hasn’t been to an optometrist in a while, always take your child when they are going through growth spurts. When kids get taller, their eyes also grow, which means they become near-sighted. Know that, because the world is becoming more near-sighted, there have been significant developments in myopia control. Always bring your child as early as possible because the earlier we diagnose them, the faster we can control the myopia.

Because Triathlons and Ironmans require that you train several hours in the sun doing different athletic activities, we fit in Rudy Project. ## Rudy Project Glasses for Every Sport ![sports protective eyewear](https://www.ag-eyecare.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/sun-wear-300x300.jpg)The Rudy Project is sold based on different physical activities. Different tints and colored lenses can improve your game in golf, tennis, pickleball, and shooting. For Ironmans, athletes commonly start the race in the dark or at dawn, then bike and run when the sun is at its highest. We sell transition sun wear for these races. They will be lightly tinted even in the dark, but will get darker the more UV rays that hit the lens. Also, people with large, near-sighted, far-sighted prescriptions, or multifocal prescriptions find it difficult to order wrapped polarized sun wear in their prescription. Rudy project has several models of sun wear that include adding an insert, which can accommodate large prescriptions or multifocal prescriptions. For sports like football and soccer, sun wear is unfortunately prohibited. Because these athletes are exposed to large amounts of sunlight, [they should always get an annual eye exam](https://www.ag-eyecare.com/sports-vision-exam/). ## Why Sports Protective Eyewear Matters ![prescription sports sunglasses](https://www.ag-eyecare.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/sun-wear-2-300x300.jpg) Large amounts of sun can cause solar retinopathy, early cataracts, and photokeratitis. A comprehensive eye examination can look for all of these pathologies. We know the vast benefits of sunscreen, and the same should be said for polarized lenses. Nobody wants retinal damage, early cataracts, or early wrinkles around the eyes. Once people reach their 40s, you can see who used polarized eyewear and who didn’t. #### [Schedule Your Sports Vision Exam](https://www.ag-eyecare.com/sports-vision-exam/) **Categories:** Eyecare, Glasses, Sunglasses, Uncategorized **Tags:** protective eyewear, rudy project, rudy project glasses, sports protective eyewear, sports vision --- ### [Dr. Jamie Yee Featured in USA Today:

She spoke out against misleading AI eye exam diagnosis and emphasized the critical importance of personal, human-led care in eye exams and vision health. Though AI-driven vision tests can offer convenience, many times, they can overlook important nuances that only a trained professional can catch during an in-person visit. Dr.Jamie Yee was also able to follow up on this interview when she spoke on the topic with the [Dallas Observer](https://www.dallasobserver.com/news/north-texas-optometrist-says-ai-cant-replace-doctors-22566503) and [Star Local Media](https://starlocalmedia.com/friscoenterprise/news/frisco-optometrist-signals-alarm-on-ai-in-healthcare/article_18c4c3b2-f92c-4228-adbb-d9863c9443a7.html). Her goal is to continue to spread awareness on this topic and stress how important it is to continue to rely on trained medical professionals with your eye, vision, and overall health. **Check out the USA Today article below and learn more about this topic…** --- With each passing day, the world seems to be increasingly driven by algorithms. It’s tempting to believe that artificial intelligence (AI) can do it all, including diagnosing the eyes. Patients can now “test” their vision, renew prescriptions, and receive a retinal scan without stepping into a clinic. Dr. Jamie Yee, optometrist and owner of Avant-Garde Optometry in Frisco, Texas, stresses that this illusion of convenience can come with dangerous consequences. Dr. Yee, believing that solely relying on AI-driven tools and online eye exams can compromise the quality of care, made it her mission to bring attention to the misleading marketing by large corporations and the growing risks to unsuspecting patients. She strongly advocates for personalized, human-led eye care and cautions against the unchecked use of AI tools as a substitute for medical expertise. Dr. Yee points to the trend of online platforms advertising “instant” eye exams that promise quick results without having to see an optometrist. “Some companies have even gone as far as offering prescription renewals and contact lens fittings through a laptop camera and a multiple-choice quiz,” she says.

For those who love to travel and take in the wonders of new destinations, clear vision is especially essential. Avant-Garde Optometry in Frisco, TX, specializes in comprehensive cataract eye exams to help you preserve your sight and continue enjoying life’s adventures. ## What Is a Cataract Eye Exam and How Does It Work? ## ![cataract eye exam](https://www.ag-eyecare.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/Cataract-Eye-Exam-300x200.jpg) A [cataract eye exam](https://www.ag-eyecare.com/cataract-exams/) involves a series of non-invasive tests that assess your vision and eye health. The process typically includes: 1. **Visual Acuity Test**: This test measures how well you can read letters on a chart at various distances. It helps to determine the sharpness and clarity of your vision. 2. **Slit-Lamp Examination**: Using a microscope with a bright light, the optometrist examines the structures at the front of your eye, including the cornea, iris, lens, and surrounding areas. This close-up view can help detect abnormalities or cloudiness in the lens. 3. **Retinal Exam**: To check for cataracts more thoroughly, the optometrist may dilate your pupils with eye drops. Once dilated, they use a special lens to examine the back of your eye, including the retina and optic nerve. 4. **Tonometry Test**: This test measures the pressure inside your eye, helping to rule out glaucoma as a contributing factor to vision problems. ## Reasons Why Patients Get Cataracts Cataracts are often associated with aging, with most cases developing after age 40. However, several factors can increase the likelihood of developing cataracts, including: - **Genetics**: A family history of cataracts can make you more susceptible. - **UV Exposure**: Prolonged exposure to the sun’s harmful UV rays without proper eye protection can accelerate cataract formation. - **Medical Conditions**: Certain diseases, such as diabetes, are known to increase the risk of cataracts. - **Medications**: Long-term use of corticosteroid medications can also contribute to the development of cataracts. - **Lifestyle Choices**: Smoking and excessive alcohol consumption can increase your risk. For those who are frequent travelers, consistent UV exposure can be a concern, especially if your adventures take you to sunny or high-altitude destinations where the sun’s rays are more intense. Taking preventive measures, like wearing UV-protective sunglasses, is crucial to maintaining healthy eyes. ## Next Steps After a Cataract Eye Exam If a cataract eye exam confirms that you have cataracts, the severity of the condition will determine your next steps. In the early stages, lifestyle changes and prescription lenses might be enough to manage the condition and improve vision. However, if cataracts are significantly impairing your ability to see, surgery may be recommended. **Cataract surgery** is a safe and effective procedure where the cloudy lens is removed and replaced with an artificial lens known as an intraocular lens (IOL). The surgery typically takes less than an hour and is performed on an outpatient basis. Most patients experience improved vision within a few days of the procedure, making it easier to get back to enjoying hobbies, work, and travel. ## Preventing Cataracts and Protecting Your Vision While some risk factors for cataracts, such as aging and genetics, are out of your control, there are several ways to slow their progression and protect your vision: - **Wear Sunglasses**: Choose eyewear that blocks 100% of UVA and UVB rays to safeguard your eyes during outdoor activities and trips. - **Maintain a Healthy Diet**: Foods rich in antioxidants, such as leafy greens, carrots, and fruits, contribute to overall eye health. - **Regular Eye Exams**: Schedule comprehensive eye exams, including a cataract eye exam, to monitor your eye health and detect early signs of cataracts or other conditions. - **Avoid Smoking and Limit Alcohol**: These lifestyle adjustments can help reduce your risk of cataract formation. ## Enjoy Clear Vision for Your Journeys Clear vision is not only vital for day-to-day tasks but also enhances the experience of seeing new places and capturing life’s memorable moments. At Avant-Garde Optometry, we are dedicated to helping our patients maintain optimal eye health so they can fully enjoy their passions, whether at home or abroad.

Knowing when to see an eye doctor can help prevent potential vision issues and detect diseases early, keeping your eyes in optimal condition. Regular eye exams should be part of your healthcare routine, but there are specific times when scheduling an appointment becomes even more important. Whether you’re noticing changes in your vision or it’s just time for your annual check-up, here’s a guide on when to see an eye doctor and how to make the most of your visits. ## When to See an Eye Doctor: When You Notice Vision Changes![When to See an Eye Doctor](https://www.ag-eyecare.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/When-to-See-an-Eye-Doctor-224x300.jpeg) The most important time to see an eye doctor is when you begin to notice changes in your vision. This could include blurred vision, difficulty seeing at night, increased sensitivity to light, or frequent headaches. These symptoms may indicate that your prescription needs to be updated or that there could be an underlying health issue affecting your vision. Don’t wait too long to make an appointment, as prompt care can often prevent further complications. Remember that glasses can take 7-10 business days to be made, so if you start noticing a change in your vision, don’t wait until the last minute to schedule your exam. Early action will ensure that you get your new prescription in time and avoid any unnecessary disruptions to your daily activities. ## Why You Should See an Eye Doctor Annually for Health Reasons Even if you don’t experience noticeable changes in your vision, regular eye exams are essential for your health. Many serious eye conditions, such as glaucoma or diabetic retinopathy, often don’t show symptoms until the condition has progressed to a more advanced stage. An eye doctor can detect these diseases during a routine exam, allowing for early intervention and treatment. For this reason, it’s recommended to schedule an eye exam at least once a year, regardless of whether you’re experiencing any symptoms. Eye exams can also help identify other health issues, such as high blood pressure or diabetes, which may show signs in the eyes before they become apparent elsewhere in the body. Don’t neglect your eye health – annual exams are a key part of maintaining overall well-being. ## Best Times to Schedule an Eye Exam: A Seasonal Guide ### When to See an Eye Doctor for Adults: Plan Your Appointment Around Key Dates If you’re an adult and haven’t experienced any significant changes in your vision, it’s a good idea to schedule your [comprehensive eye exam](https://www.ag-eyecare.com/10-step-comprehensive-eye-exam/) during a time that fits your lifestyle. Many people choose to plan their eye exams around their birthday or in January when a new year starts. This is a great way to stay on top of your eye health and make it a yearly tradition. However, avoid scheduling an eye exam during the month of December if possible. Many vision insurance plans expire on December 31st, leading to high demand for appointments. Optometry offices are often at maximum capacity during this time, and it can be challenging to get an appointment before the end of the year. ### When to See an Eye Doctor for Kids: Back-to-School Eye Exams For parents, it’s important to ensure your children have regular eye exams, especially before the school year begins. The ideal time for a child’s eye exam is in July, just before school starts. This ensures that any vision problems are identified before they begin their studies and can be corrected with glasses or other treatments. Alternatively, scheduling an exam in September is also a good idea as the school year is just getting underway, and it gives your child a chance to settle into the new routine. Many vision problems in children can go unnoticed without professional testing, potentially affecting their academic performance. ### When to See an Eye Doctor for Contact Lens Fittings If you wear contact lenses, it’s important to see an eye doctor for a contact lens fitting. While this can be done during a routine eye exam, you don’t necessarily need to do both at the same time. If you have a sufficient supply of contact lenses, you can schedule your contact lens fitting at a later time. Many people opt to have their contact lens fitting in May, right before the summer season. This gives them the opportunity to update their lenses for the warmer months when outdoor activities are more frequent. ### **Understanding the Timing of Eye Exams: When to See an Eye Doctor for Optimal Care** While there’s no wrong time to get an eye exam, being mindful of your scheduling can help you avoid long waits and ensure your insurance benefits are fully utilized. Optometry offices can get very busy around the holidays, especially as people try to use their vision insurance before it expires. If you’re planning an eye exam toward the end of the year, it’s a good idea to book your appointment early to secure your spot. ## Schedule Your Eye Exam with Avant-Garde Optometry Today!

Orgreen is your brand. Holding a pair of Orgreen glasses means looking at an individually designed frame with perfect composition. These frames are crafted to strike a balance between aesthetics and functionality, ensuring they’re not only stylish but also comfortable and durable. The artistry behind Orgreen glasses speaks to their commitment to quality, making them an excellent choice for anyone looking to upgrade their eyewear. ## ![Orgreen Glasses](https://www.ag-eyecare.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/Orgreen-Glasses2-225x300.jpg)Orgreen Glasses: Unique Color Stories That Inspire One of the standout features of [Orgreen](https://www.ag-eyecare.com/designer-frames/) glasses is their color selection, which is what draws in most customers. The company puts great effort into creating unique color stories that set them apart from other eyewear brands. Whether you prefer bold hues or subtle tones, Orgreen offers a wide range of colors to suit every personality and style. They want their frames to reflect nature, art, and modern architecture, which gives each pair a distinctive appeal. Imagine wearing frames inspired by the soft hues of a Nordic sunrise or the bold vibrancy of urban street art — this is the magic of Orgreen. ### Eyewear That Elevates Your Energy The philosophy behind Orgreen is that the glasses you wear affect your energy and happiness level. They believe in creating eyewear that not only enhances your appearance but also uplifts your mood. This unique perspective aligns with their dedication to innovation and creativity, ensuring that every frame is more than just a functional accessory — it’s a piece of wearable art. They want their customers to feel certain frequencies and radiate unique energy when they see the color of the frames, a testament to the power of thoughtful design. ### Made in Japan: Craftsmanship You Can Trust All Orgreen products are made in Japan, where there is a proud tradition of superior eyewear manufacturing. Japan is known for its precision and craftsmanship, and Orgreen leverages these qualities to create eyewear that stands the test of time. By combining the highest standard of Japanese materials with the Danish design culture, Orgreen can produce a product made with a love of detail and longevity. Each pair is meticulously crafted to ensure durability, comfort, and a flawless finish, making them a worthy investment for any eyewear enthusiast. ## The Story Behind Orgreen Glasses Orgreen’s story began in Copenhagen, Denmark, over two decades ago when three friends — Henrik Orgreen, Gregers Fastrup, and Sahra Lisell — came together with a shared vision. Their goal was to create timeless-looking frames for people around the world who value unique quality. What started as a small venture has now grown into an internationally renowned brand. The European headquarters remain in Copenhagen, a city known for its minimalist design and innovative culture, while their North American headquarters are in Berkeley, California. Despite its global success, Orgreen Optics has retained its entrepreneurial spirit and a close-knit team of passionate employees who continue to push the boundaries of eyewear design. ## Discover the Quantum High Collection [Quantum High](https://orgreenoptics.com/quantum-high-collection) is the newest collection within the Orgreen family, and it’s a true game-changer in the world of eyewear. This collection was created with a focus on ultra-lightweight frames, making them the most comfortable, barely-there frames in the entire Orgreen lineup. If you’ve ever worn glasses that felt heavy or cumbersome, Quantum High offers a refreshing alternative. These frames are so lightweight and comfortable that you might even forget you’re wearing them. ### Muted Colors with Vibrant Accents The frames in the Quantum High collection feature a muted color palette with vibrant accents in the temples, adding a touch of personality without overwhelming the design. The combination of subtle and bold elements makes these frames versatile enough for both casual and formal settings. Whether you’re heading to a business meeting or a weekend brunch, Quantum High frames are the perfect accessory to elevate your look. ### Innovative Materials for Maximum Durability One of the standout features of Quantum High frames is their innovative use of materials. They are made of Polyamide, a versatile, strong, and flexible material that can resist impact and pressure without breaking. This ensures that the frames are not only stylish but also durable enough to withstand everyday wear and tear. The unique colors and finishing options give the frames a high-end look, making them a popular choice among fashion-forward individuals. ### **The Advantages of 3D Printing** The 3D printing technology used in the Quantum High collection is another remarkable aspect of these frames. This cutting-edge technique allows the frames to eliminate extraneous components such as screws and bolts, resulting in a sleek and minimalist design. The absence of these traditional components not only enhances the aesthetic appeal but also reduces the likelihood of repairs, making Quantum High frames a practical and stylish choice. ## Experience Orgreen Glasses at Avant-Garde Optometry Since Orgreen is so well-known for its frame colors, we invite you to schedule a styling appointment at Avant-Garde Optometry.

Minimal rectangular sunglasses 3. Aviator glasses 4. Butterfly glasses ## Trend #1: 1990s Vintage Glasses ![vintage glasses](https://www.ag-eyecare.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/IMG_5215-225x300.jpeg)1990s vintage glasses started trending with Generation Z and their love of the 90s. 90s fashion amongst high school students started with Saved by the Bell shirts and Golden Girl shirts. The new generation just couldn’t get enough of what their parents thought was cool 30 years ago. Sure, the 90s were an amazing and golden time to grow up, but the new generation wants a piece of it. In the 90s, square, round, and rectangular metals were all the craze. The 90s liked minimalistic metals without color. I think JK Rowling styled Harry Potter in gold round glasses because it’s the style that she grew up with in the 90s. ## Trend #2: Minimal Rectangular Glasses ![millenium sunglasses](https://www.ag-eyecare.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/IMG_5210-225x300.jpeg)Minimal rectangular sunglasses have been featured in the new White Lotus seasons (seasons 2 and 3). A girl in her 20s, along with a fashionable mom in her 50s, are seen wearing the iconic 1960s-inspired sunglasses. In the new millennium, sunglasses were all about the bigger the better. Post-COVID, everyone wanted skinny, wide sunglasses. The shape makes everyone feel like Marilyn Monroe. ## Trend #3: Aviator Glasses ![aviator glasses](https://www.ag-eyecare.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/IMG_5206-225x300.jpeg)Aviator glasses used to jokingly be seen as the ‘serial killer look’. Sadly, in the 1970s and 1980s, aviator glasses were not worn by history’s best people. But in 2025, corporate America, movie stars and people who like Boho Chic are loving this look. Why? Because aviator glasses make your eyes look bigger and your head look more petite. Aviator glasses happen to be a personal favorite, despite them not fitting me. Jennifer Aniston wore gold aviator glasses at the Friends reunion, and all major fashion labels have been coming out with their version. ## Trend #4: Butterfly Glasses ![butterfly glasses](https://www.ag-eyecare.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/IMG_5202-225x300.jpeg)Butterfly glasses are sadly not my cup of tea, but many fashion labels are having trouble keeping up with the demand for them. Close to the nose, the frames are narrow, but they become wider, like a butterfly, at the outer edges. People with round and square faces find this look to be very flattering.

Why do you think that is? **Glenn (Recruiter):** I think the biggest thing around all industries is people don’t spend enough time talking about culture. I hear all the time, culture doesn’t pay bills. And I agree. What I have found time and time again is that if a candidate is looking between two jobs or multiple jobs, they are more likely to go with the job that matches their values and their personal beliefs and they are going to work harder because it’s something they believe in. They want to further the mission. To talk about culture in a simple way people can do two things. If you are looking for someone, tell them what you expect – *if you come and work for me, I expect…* The second thing is what they can gain from coming to work for you vs someone else. So, you have to be super clear about your culture, what you expect, and what are they going to gain. We all have selfish tendencies, and we work because we love what we do, but be clear about what they gain from you as an employer. **Dr. Jamie:** Oh, interesting. I actually didn’t know that, and that’s a great way to put it. So, if you were an optician or a medical technician, what advice would you have for them when they are trying to look for new employment? **Glenn:** First, you need to have a list of your non-negotiables–like I’ve had some work experiences that have not been great, so write down the things that are your non-negotiables. For example, if you cannot work past 4 pm on Wednesdays, well, that’s a non-negotiable, and be upfront about these non-negotiables. Be upfront and honest; don’t try to be this fake person to get this job; be real with whomever you are talking with. The real you will come out. Certain things you like and dislike, so they can tell you ok this is a match or this is not a match. You should be crystal clear about the value that you bring. You need to be able to talk about your skills, like this is what I can add to the practice. If you have a heart for service, like you love working with people, talk about that. It will all come out, so be clear about your value and be clear about your experiences. Sometimes, we ask people to tell me about their worst work experience, and people will fumble with the answer. But if you have been doing this for five years, you should have a handful of experiences to discuss. Think about your best experiences, your worst, what you do not like. People are afraid of this, but just be honest. An example is if a doctor you work with is an extrovert and you are an introvert. Let them know what your communication style is. You like to think about upsetting situations and not always verbalize it. It’s not, oh I don’t like you; it is instead, oh I now am aware about this, and this is how we can work together. A lot of people are scared to be honest because they just want the job, but in the long run, you will be happier if you are honest, transparent, and genuine with the interviewer. **Dr. Jamie:** Well, that’s really helpful. This is great advice for optometrists looking for opticians or medical technicians.

When I was growing up, most kids needed glasses around 11 to 13 years old. In recent times, it’s not uncommon for 5–6-year-olds to need glasses. Now I’m an eye doctor so there is nothing wrong with glasses and contacts but as someone who is a -9.00D myope, I wish something could have prevented me from having such a high number. Myopia management in children has been a hot topic amongst optometrists in the last 5 years. ## Causes of Myopia in Children We live in a highly digitalized era where kids will look at phones, tablets, and screens more than any other generation. Also, if both parents are nearsighted, there is a high probability their kids will all be nearsighted. Because high myopia and degenerative myopia are such an ongoing problem, CooperVision has made a new development to control the rate of myopia increases. ## ![myopia in children](https://www.ag-eyecare.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/Myopia-in-Children-300x200.jpg) ## CooperVision MiSight 1 Day The CooperVision MiSight 1 Day contact lenses are fit for children with new myopia or an increased rate of myopia for their age. CooperVision performed a 7-year study and found that children who wore these contacts only had an increase in 1.5D of myopia while being treated. By 2030, half of North America will be near-sighted. CooperVision’s goal is to have kids who are graduating high school with no higher than a -3.00 prescription. The daily contact lens has dual focus and thus decreases the probability of eye growth to less than 0.3mm within 1-3 years of treatment. These contact lenses will provide clear vision for the child while simultaneously decreasing the myopia rate. MiSight has 2 treatment zones, and those zones minimize the axial length from changing. ## Experience the CooperVision MiSight 1 Day for Myopia Management If you have a child around 7-10 years old who has already been diagnosed with myopia, [contact us](https://www.ag-eyecare.com/contact-us/) to make an appointment for myopia management contact lenses at [Avant-Garde Optometry in Frisco](https://www.ag-eyecare.com/), TX. The doctor will explain the contacts and the contact lens fitting before any contacts are inserted into the eye. Let’s all work together and stop the rate of myopia in our kids! **Categories:** Eyecare --- ### [Best Areas for Hiking Near Frisco, TX](https://www.ag-eyecare.com/hiking-near-frisco-tx/) **Published:** July 18, 2024 **Author:** Avant Garde Optometry **Content:** Frisco has a plethora of small hiking trails with different views of the suburb.

Most of the population experiences dry eye either from excessive computer usage, working long hours, wearing contacts, or from even weather changes. No matter what the root cause of your dryness we have a quick and easy solution, the OCuSOFT Thermal 1 Touch. ## About the OCuSOFT Thermal 1 Touch The OCuSOFT Thermal 1 Touch machine breaks up all the clogged meibomian glands in your eyelids and allows the tear film to stabilize. New studies have found as much as 95% of the population has dry eye due to meibomian gland dysfunction. Though it exists in the majority of the population, it presents itself with a large variety of symptoms. If you experience dry eye, burning eyes, persistent foreign body sensation, or commonly get dry eyes, this would be the right therapy for you. Before the OCuSOFT Thermal 1 Touch machine came to Avant-Garde, the recommended therapy was warm compresses 3 times a week and dry eye drops 2 times a day. It is common knowledge that few of my patients follow this strict regimen. If you want to try this amazing [dry eye treatment schedule now](https://www.ag-eyecare.com/dry-eye-exams/) and add Thermal 1 for reason of visit. ![ocusoft thermal 1 touch](https://www.ag-eyecare.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/image_6483441-2-768x1024.jpg) #### **What Dr Yee says about dry eye and the OCuSOFT Thermal 1 Touch:** Since I was in high school, I always suffered from either dry eye or contact lens intolerance. At the time, I was being treated for several allergy/asthma related conditions. My eye doctor assumed I was having dry eye from the extensive allergy drugs that are well known to cause dry eye and dry skin. In college, I slowly weaned off the allergy medications but my eyes continued to feel dry. Sadly, because dry eye afflicts most people, it is commonly ignored or pushed under a rug. When I got to optometry school, professors made suggestions on good effective dry eye therapy. And by the time I graduated, I was on 3-4 dry eye drops regularly. Later in my career, I started taking Restasis and then later Xiidra and Cequa. Despite having the best dry eye therapy, my dry eye persisted like a pebble in my shoe. ## From $1500 to $150, how I beat dry eye with Thermal 1 Touch A few years ago, I went to one of the largest dry eye clinics in DFW to get a LipiView scan of my meibomian glands and to fully express any meibomian glands that were clogged through LipiFlow. The medical technician said I had one of the worst cases of clogged meibomian glands and that I was an ideal candidate for the LipiFlow treatment. Once treated, I felt as though a fog had lifted and my eyes no longer felt like heavy sandbags. I also no longer noticed the nagging feel of dryness on my eyes. After my life changing treatment, I immediately reached out to the representatives of Lipiflow to see about integrating this equipment into my dry eye clinic. I was crushed to learn that 1 LipiView/LipiFlow treatment would cost my patients $1500-$1750. Because I would only recommend this treatment to my severe dry eye patients, I looked to see if medical insurance would pay or contribute a percentage of my patients’ treatment. As of now medical insurance does not pay for this treatment and all the cost falls to the patient. I asked all my severe dry eye patients if they would be willing to pay this price if it would significantly alleviate most of their dry eye symptoms for a year. All my patients told me the price was too high for dry eye treatment and would prefer a different course of therapy. ## OCuSOFT Thermal 1 Touch Review At this time, I had realized the power of full meibomian gland expression but needed to find a medical device that would help the masses and would be affordable to the average patient. In 2020, I heard a doctor lecture about the new Thermal 1 Touch from Ocusoft. She runs an extensive dry eye clinic in Houston and lectures around the United States about her experience with different dry eye therapies. She treats the vast majority of her patients with this device and has gotten incredible feedback from her patients. We commonly treat dry eye by patients by the severity of their symptoms and by the speed in which the tear film breaks up after a blink. The clinical results were outstanding. The tear break up time had unbelievable improvement after the treatment. Patients also had an immediate improvement in the discomfort of dry eye. The best thing about this therapy is it only cost $150. Another great thing about this device is if a person has exceptionally stubborn meibomian glands (like mine) we can run the treatment again at no cost. ## Experience the OCuSOFT Thermal 1 Touch at Avant-Garde Optometry Avante-Garde Optometry is here for all your eye treatments, including Dry Eye Therapy.

One day it’s colder than Maine, then the next it’s a perfect 70 degrees. With these sudden changes in temperatures, naturally will come changes to our skin and eyes. Zocular products, like Zocufoam, Zucuwipes, and Zocushield can be great options for addressing dry eye concerns. ## What Causes Dry Eyes? We have good bacteria on our eyelids but it takes just a little bit of change to tip the scale and get excessive bacteria. When too much bacteria grows on the eyelid, there is an increase in allergies, or when air pollutants increase, the eyelids become inflamed. Meibomian glands within the eyelid become clogged and the lid margin becomes red and itchy. If you look closely you can even see greasy crusty flakes on the eyelid margin. This problem is called acute or chronic Blepharitis. Eye doctors can see this condition any time of the year but it’s especially seen during weather changes or changes to the skin’s natural environment. Weather swings, an increase in allergens, and a general increase in pollution, eye doctors are seeing chronic low-grade Blepharitis in a majority of patients. What frustrates the optometry community, is most people think they have persistent dry eye. The public loves to use light dry eye drops for any ocular symptom. The truth behind many dry eye cases is debris builds up on the eyelid margin and each blink brings more unnatural components to the tear film. With contact lens users this is exceptionally detrimental because the dirt and oil will get stuck behind the contact lens and will blur the patient’s vision. ## Zocular All-Natural Dry Eye Products Dr. Yee has been watching Blepharitis cases increase and decided to find an all-natural way to treat this condition without drugs and harsh chemicals. Zocular products contain okra-infused Zocusome micelles that gently lift and eliminate debris and greasy flakes from the eyelid margin. Because these products have natural anti-inflammatory properties, they do not have the same side effects as steroids or antibiotics. Patients can stay on Zocular products for long periods of time without having to wean off them. “Zocular works great over contact lenses! Not only that, it feels great on the skin. Great for contact lens clients.” -Chang Lee ## Avant-Garde Optometry Offers Zocular Products Avant-Garde is currently selling Zocufoam cleansers that can be used morning or night, along with Zocuwipes that can be used in the morning and lastly the Zocushield syringe for patients with aggressive cases of Blepharitis. If you are interested in purchasing one of our Zocular products or would like a dry eye consult [Contact Us](https://www.ag-eyecare.com/contact-us/) to speak to an eye care specialist. **Categories:** Eyecare --- ### [5 Trendy Sunglasses You’ll Love This Fall](https://www.ag-eyecare.com/trendy-sunglasses-for-fall/) **Published:** April 22, 2024 **Author:** Avant Garde Optometry **Content:** Maybe you’re planning your tropical getaway, ready for sun, sand, and beaches.

Glasses aren’t just a functional accessory – they’re a statement piece that can enhance your features and compliment your face. Whether you’re aiming for a sophisticated look or a trendy vibe, choosing the right frames can make all the difference. In this guide, we’ll delve into the art of selecting glasses for your face shape which shows off your unique style. ## Understanding Face Shapes Before diving into the world of [designer frames](https://www.ag-eyecare.com/designer-frames/), it’s crucial to identify your face shape. While everyone’s face is unique, common shapes include round, square, oval, heart, and diamond. Determining your face shape can help narrow down the variety of eyewear options and guide you toward styles that accentuate your best features. ## Choosing Frames for Different Face Shapes ![Glasses for your face shape](https://www.ag-eyecare.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/Glasses-for-Face-Shape-300x300.jpg) ### 1. Round Face If your face is soft with rounded features, opt for angular frames to add definition and contrast. Rectangular or square-shaped frames work wonders by creating balance and elongating the face. Steer clear of overly round or small frames that can exaggerate the roundness. ### 2. Square Face For those with strong jawlines and equally proportionate features, round or oval frames can soften the angles and add a touch of gentleness to the face. Look for frames with curved edges to complement your structured features. Avoid boxy or angular styles that might overpower your face shape. ### 3. Oval Face Considered the most versatile face shape, oval faces have balanced proportions that can carry off almost any frame style. From trendy cat-eye frames to classic wayfarers, the options are endless. Experiment with different shapes and sizes to find what resonates best with your personal style. ### 4. Heart Face Heart-shaped faces typically feature wider foreheads and narrower chins. To harmonize these proportions, opt for bottom-heavy frames such as aviators or cat-eye styles. Rimless or light-colored frames can also draw attention away from the forehead, creating a more balanced look. ### 5. Diamond Face Characterized by cheekbones as the widest part of the face, diamond-shaped faces benefit from frames that highlight the eyes and soften the cheekbones. Oval or rimless frames are ideal for this face shape, while upswept styles can accentuate the cheekbones beautifully. ## Additional Tips for Glasses Shopping![Glasses for face shape](https://www.ag-eyecare.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/Glasses-for-your-face-shape-300x200.jpg) - **Proportion Matters:** Ensure that the size of the frames complements the scale of your face. Oversized frames can overwhelm petite faces, while small frames may get lost on larger faces. - **Comfort is Key:** Beyond aesthetics, prioritize comfort when selecting glasses. Consider factors such as nose bridge fit, temple length, and weight to ensure a snug and comfortable fit for all-day wear. - **Express Yourself:** While it’s essential to consider glasses for your face shape, don’t be afraid to embrace your unique style preferences. Glasses are an extension of your personality, so choose frames that make you feel confident and authentic. ## Find Glasses for Your Face Shape at Avant-Garde Finding the perfect glasses for your face shape is a form of art. By understanding your face shape and experimenting with different frame styles, you can elevate your look and make a stylish statement with your eyewear.

It’s important to keep your eyewear in pristine condition so they are long-lasting. In this guide, we will share with you how to clean glasses and how to store eyeglasses so your eyewear is always clear and smudge-free. At Avant-Garde, we believe your eyewear is a crucial part of your uniqueness. Whether you are a go-getter, explorer, sports player, entrepreneur, or life-long learner, your glasses should bring out the best in you. Our Frisco optometrist team is passionate about all things eyecare. ![how to clean glasses](https://www.ag-eyecare.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/How-to-Clean-Glasses-300x200.jpg) ## **How to Clean Glasses** It is important to clean your glasses properly to keep them in long-lasting condition. Here are the steps we recommend: 1. **Wash your hands thoroughly:** Start by washing your hands thoroughly with mild soap and water to remove any dirt or oils that could transfer to the lenses. 2. **Rinse your glasses under tap water:** Avoid using hot water, as it may damage lens coatings or frame materials. 3. **Apply lotion-free, ammonia-free dish soap to each lens:** Gently rub the soap across the entire surface of each lens, including the edges and nose pads, using your fingertips. 4. **Rinse the lenses and frames thoroughly:** Rinse the lenses and frames thoroughly under running water to remove all traces of soap residue. Shake off any excess water. 5. **Dry the lenses and frames with a lint-free cloth:** This is the most important in the cleaning process. If you dry your glasses on a rough towel, it can scratch or warp the lens and/or anti-reflective coating. 6. **Inspect the lenses and wipe away any remaining smudges:** Be gentle during this process to avoid scratching the lenses. Keep in mind that the clearest lenses (Trivex and Hi-index) are so clear, that you are more likely to see streaks or smudge marks. *Related Post:* [*How to Pick Glasses for Your Face Shape*](https://www.ag-eyecare.com/glasses-for-face-shape/) ## **How to Store Eyeglasses** It’s best to store your eyeglasses indoors, at room temperature in an enclosed case or box. When placing the glasses in the case, ensure they are positioned with the lenses facing upward to avoid potential scratching. If you don’t wear your glasses every day, you don’t want them to be exposed to extreme heat. This will warp the frame and anti-reflective treatment. If your glasses are indoors, make sure they are safely enclosed so dust doesn’t collect on them. Also, babies and fur babies, especially love glasses. Frames can sadly not be warranted if there are teeth marks on them. So protect and enclose those frames, and keep them out of reach of little hands (and paws). ## **Get a Routine Glasses Cleaning at Avant-Garde Optometry** Once a year ask Avant-Garde Optometry to industrially clean your glasses in our optical cleaner. The machine cleans the glasses between the lenses and the frames and removes the hardest to remove oils and dirt. If you wear makeup you definitely want a year’s worth of makeup to be removed annually. Also, the machine is a miracle worker with cleaning nose pads. We all have oil on our noses and the machine will clean all oil and dirt from the frames. ## **Choose Avant-Garde Optometry for Your Eyeglasses and Eyecare** At Avant-Garde Optometry, we strive to give you the best eyecare and eyewear selection in the Frisco, TX area. Walk into our office to be greeted with professionalism and high-quality care, and walk out with confidence and style.

You don’t have to live with dry, blurry, or fatigued eyes. At Avant-Garde Optometry, our specialized computer vision exams go beyond standard prescriptions to pinpoint the exact root causes of your screen fatigue, delivering customized visual solutions that restore healthy, long-lasting comfort to your digital workday. [BOOK AN APPOINTMENT](https://www.zocdoc.com/practice/avant-garde-optometry-39504?lock=true&isNewPatient=false&referrerType=widget) ## What Is Computer Vision Syndrome (CVS)? Whether you are commuting to an office off the Dallas Parkway, working from home in Frisco, or logging long hours on your phone, your eyes are under constant stress. Computer Vision Syndrome — known as digital eye strain — is a group of eye and vision-related problems that result from prolonged computer, tablet, e-reader, and smartphone use. This occurs when the eyes and brain have to work harder to focus on digital pixels compared to printed text. ### Signs You Are Experiencing Digital Eye Strain **Common warning signs to watch out for during your workday:** - Eyestrain, eye fatigue, or a “heavy” feeling in your eyelids - Chronic dry, red, or burning eyes - Blurred vision or difficulty focusing between your screen and your desk - Frequent headaches, neck pain, or shoulder tension - Increased sensitivity to harsh overhead office lighting and screen glare ## How a Computer Vision Exam Works ### Our Advanced Approach to Digital Eye Strain Relief Unlike a generic eye test, Dr. Jamie Yee conducts an advanced workspace assessment specifically tailored to your day-to-day environment. **Precision Workspace Mapping** We test your near and intermediate vision at an exact distance and customize the assessment based on how many monitors you use, how far they sit from your eyes, and your specific desk height. **Hoya iD Screen Lenses** We prescribe advanced, customized desk-space lenses by Hoya. Unlike standard progressive lenses, these are engineered specifically to maximize your intermediate vision field, giving you edge-to-edge clarity across multiple monitors without needing to tilt your head back. **Premium Blue Light Filtering & Anti-Glare** Our premium lenses filter out harsh artificial blue light and neutralize the harsh, artificial light spikes that cause headaches, ocular fatigue and disrupt your natural sleep cycles. [BOOK YOUR EXAM](https://www.zocdoc.com/practice/avant-garde-optometry-39504?lock=true&isNewPatient=false&referrerType=widget) ## FAQs About Computer Vision Exams and Digital Eye Strain **Do I need a computer vision exam if I already wear regular glasses or contacts?** Yes. Standard prescription eyeglasses and contact lenses are generally optimized for far distances (driving) or close reading distances (books). They are not mapped for the intermediate distance of a computer screen (typically 20 to 26 inches away). **Can children experience digital eye strain?** Absolutely. Children are highly susceptible to screen fatigue due to the rise of digital learning platforms, tablets, and gaming in North Texas schools and homes. If your child complains of frequent headaches during homework, rubs their eyes frequently, or experiences blurred vision after screen time, a specialized assessment can help protect their visual development and school performance. **Do blue light glasses really help?** Standard over-the-counter blue light glasses offer minimal relief because they don’t address the focal muscle strain caused by looking at intermediate screens. For true relief, specialized computer glasses combine customized prescription alignment mapped to your exact workspace distance with premium anti-reflective and blue-light filtering layers. **Where is Avant-Garde Optometry located?** Our boutique clinic is located at 9255 Dallas Parkway, Suite 140, in Frisco, Texas, right near the Lebanon Road intersection. We are easily accessible for professionals commuting throughout Frisco, Plano, Prosper, and Little Elm. **What other types of eye care services do you offer?** Beyond computer vision wellness, we provide comprehensive eye exams, pediatric eye care, emergency eye care, specialty contact lens fittings, and advanced clinical dry eye therapies (like LipiFlow). Our office also features an independent boutique optical shop showcasing curated, luxury designer frames from around the world. **Upgrade Your Workday Comfort Today** Don’t let screen fatigue drain your energy or productivity. Conveniently located just minutes from The Star and Frisco Square, Avant-Garde Optometry makes it easy for Frisco professionals and students to get the elite, specialized care your eyes deserve.

Lids, lashes and skin get moisturized and cleaned using Oasis LID & LASH®, which increases the skins moisture in two weeks by up to 20%. The scrubs are also commonly used to treat Blepharitis. If you experience irritation around your eyelids, ask your doctor if these scrubs will help. ![oasys_rest_relief_mask](https://www.ag-eyecare.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/Oasys-Rest-Relief-Mask.png "Oasys Rest Relief Mask") Contact us For Order ##### Oasis Rest and Relief Mask ###### $26 Warm compresses will decrease your dry eye symptoms by heating and loosening the oils in the Meibomian glands located in and around your lids. These glands produce the oils (lipids) that get released with each blink and make up the bottom part of your tear film. These oils also help to retain the water layer and prevent tear evaporation. Most doctors agree holding a warm cloth to your eyelids will not last long enough to be effective. The compress eye mask is filled with beads that conform to your eyes and hold heat along with compression. Ask your doctor how long and often the mask should be used and applied. ![tears](https://www.ag-eyecare.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/Oasys-Tears.png "Oasys Tears") Contact us For Order ##### Oasys Tears ###### $30/30 day supply Preservative-free lubricant eye drops replace and enhance the moisture that is lost on your ocular surface.

Because of these varying factors, everyone has a different level of light sensitivity. While some patients find indoor lights to be blinding, another might find complete comfort in walking outdoors when the sun is at it’s strongest. Because all patients are affected differently by light, Dr. Yee can assess whether Transitions, Polarized or 100% UV A/UV B protection would optimize a person’s eye protection. More research is showing how harmful UV light can be to the eyes, and thus more research is being developed on how best to protect the eye. If you would like to know more please ask the doctor and opticians.

Regular exams allow us to detect subtle changes early and monitor your eye health over time. #### [Are eye exams necessary if I don’t wear glasses?](#necessary-if-wear-glasses) Yes. Many eye conditions develop before noticeable vision problems appear. Routine exams help identify early signs of glaucoma, retinal issues, and other eye health concerns. #### [Can screen time affect my vision?](#screen-time) Extended screen use can contribute to digital eye strain, dryness, and headaches. During your exam, we evaluate how your eyes respond to screen use and can recommend ways to improve visual comfort. #### [What happens if my prescription changes?](#prescription-changes) If your vision has shifted, we’ll walk through your options for glasses or contact lenses and help you choose solutions that fit your daily routine. #### [Do you offer treatment for eye allergies?](#eye-allergies) Yes. Seasonal allergies are common in North Texas and can lead to symptoms like dryness, itching, redness, and irritation.

[SCHEDULE AN APPOINTMENT](https://www.zocdoc.com/practice/avant-garde-optometry-39504?lock=true&isNewPatient=false&referrerType=widget) ## What Is a Comprehensive Eye Exam? A comprehensive eye exam at Avant‑Garde Optometry in Frisco, TX is much more than just reading letters on a chart. Here’s what you can expect when Dr. Yee evaluates your vision and eye health: ### Precision Refraction **Sphere, Astigmatism & Axis:** Dr. Yee first fine‑tunes your sphere power, adjusts for any astigmatism, and then refines the axis to ensure crystal‑clear vision. **Topcon CV‑5000 Phoropter:** Our automated phoropter speeds up this process by about 20%, so you spend less time in the chair and more time enjoying life in Frisco. **Best Visual Acuity:** We measure your sharpest distance vision and near vision (at 40 cm), then automatically sync those numbers with our electronic health records to eliminate transcription errors. ### Thorough Health Assessment **Slit Lamp Examination:** Using the Topcon SL‑D2 slit lamp, Dr. Yee inspects the front (anterior) structures of your eyes, like the cornea and lens, then examines the back (posterior), including the retina and optic nerve. **Early Detection:** This detailed look can reveal issues such as dry eye, cataracts, glaucoma, or retinal changes before you even notice symptoms. ### Personalized Consultation **Clear Explanations:** Vision can be complex; many patients worry that a “weaker” prescription means a chronic eye disease. We take extra time to explain your current prescription and any ocular conditions you may have. **Patient Questions Welcome:** Whether you’re curious about digital eye strain or how allergies in Frisco’s spring pollen affect your eyes, we encourage every question! ## What Is Included in a Comprehensive Eye Exam? We believe every eye exam should be as unique as you are. That’s why we take the time to get to know your needs and concerns before we begin. ### Every exam at our Frisco office includes: - A detailed review of your medical and vision history - Visual acuity testing and prescription measurement - Eye coordination and depth perception evaluation - Internal and external eye health checks - Screening for eye diseases such as glaucoma, macular degeneration, and cataracts - Digital imaging and retinal scans with advanced technology Whether you’re updating your glasses, exploring contact lenses, or checking for early signs of eye conditions, our modern diagnostic tools and personalized care ensure you get the most out of every visit. ## Will My Eyes Be Dilated During the Exam? In most cases, no. We use the Optomap retinal imaging system, which allows us to thoroughly examine the back of your eyes without traditional dilation. This means no blurry vision or light sensitivity after your appointment, and the process only takes a few minutes! ## Will You Explain My Results and Options After the Exam? **Absolutely.** We take time to educate every patient. Dr. Yee will walk you through your current prescription, eye health findings, and any recommended next steps. Many patients assume they need “stronger glasses” when, in fact, they may be experiencing early signs of a chronic condition. We’ll talk through everything and even suggest lens options tailored to your lifestyle and vision needs. ## Do You Perform Eye Exams on Children? Yes! We provide pediatric eye exams for children of all ages. For younger patients, we perform specialized tests like the unilateral and alternating cover test to assess how a child’s eyes work together. This helps us detect issues such as strabismus or phorias early, which are important for learning and development. Our goal is to make the experience stress-free while ensuring your child’s vision is on track. ## What Kind of Equipment Do You Use During the Comprehensive Eye Exam? We utilize some of the most advanced tools in the industry: - **Wave-front Analyzer (KR-1W):** One of the most accurate auto-refractors available, giving us precise objective refraction measurements. - **Topcon CT-80:** Measures your intraocular pressure (IOP) quickly and comfortably. - **Optomap Imaging:** A fast, non-invasive way to get a detailed picture of the retina—no dilation required in most cases. - **Topcon CV-5000 Automated Phoropter:** Speeds up the refraction process by 20% while increasing accuracy. - **Topcon SL-D2 Slit Lamp:** Used to examine the front and back of the eye for any signs of disease. These technologies help us deliver faster exams without compromising quality and ensure we catch even the earliest signs of eye conditions.

Expert Monitoring. Vision Preservation. Glaucoma affects over 3 million Americans, often without noticeable symptoms until significant peripheral vision is lost. A glaucoma eye exam provides the proactive testing and ongoing monitoring needed to catch this “silent” disease early, when treatment can slow progression and safeguard your sight. [SCHEDULE YOUR GLAUCOMA EYE EXAM](https://www.zocdoc.com/practice/avant-garde-optometry-39504?lock=true&isNewPatient=false&referrerType=widget) ## What’s Included in a Glaucoma Eye Exam Your specialized glaucoma evaluation combines advanced diagnostics with Dr. Yee’s expertise to give you the most thorough care available in Frisco, TX: ### Optomap Retinal & Optic Nerve Imaging High‑resolution scans reveal subtle structural changes in your optic nerve before vision loss occurs. ### Baseline & Annual Visual Field Testing Peripheral vision mapping detects even the smallest field defects, essential for early glaucoma diagnosis. ### Precision IOP Monitoring Intraocular pressure checks with the Topcon CT‑80 identify elevated eye pressure, a major glaucoma risk factor. ### Gonioscopy for Angle Assessment A quick lens exam evaluates your eye’s drainage angle, distinguishing open‑angle from angle‑closure glaucoma. ### Specialist-Level Risk Management Patients at high risk are referred for baseline OCT and GDX testing with a trusted ophthalmologist. Dr. Yee reviews those results, coordinates care, and adjusts your monitoring schedule accordingly. ### Decades of Glaucoma Focus As a glaucoma specialist, Dr. Yee brings years of targeted training and research to every exam, ensuring you receive the most informed recommendations and treatment plans. ### Collaborative Care Model Detailed reports are shared with your ophthalmologist and primary care provider, keeping your entire health team aligned on your vision goals. ### Local, Compassionate Service Serving Frisco, The Colony, Little Elm, Plano, and beyond, our practice combines hometown warmth with state‑of‑the‑art glaucoma care. ## Can a Regular Eye Exam Detect Glaucoma? A regular eye exam may flag certain warning signs, like elevated eye pressure or changes in the optic nerve, but it often lacks the specialized tests needed for early glaucoma detection. Only a dedicated glaucoma eye exam (including visual field testing, gonioscopy, and optic nerve imaging) can reliably identify this “silent” disease before vision loss occurs.

This data is synced directly to your electronic health record. ### Expert Analysis & Action Plan Dr. Yee leverages years of diabetic retinopathy research to interpret every image and test, explaining your results in clear terms and recommending personalized next steps.

Comfortable Fit. Personalized Guidance. Whether you’re new to contacts or seeking an upgrade, a contact lens exam with Avant Garde ensures that you get the right fit, prescription, and support, without the guesswork! Using advanced corneal topography and tear film analysis, Dr. Yee customizes trials of spherical, toric, monovision, or multifocal soft lenses to match your lifestyle and vision needs. [SCHEDULE A CONTACT LENS EXAM](https://www.zocdoc.com/practice/avant-garde-optometry-39504?lock=true&isNewPatient=false&referrerType=widget) ## What Is a Contact Lens Exam? A contact lens exam is a detailed assessment designed to ensure your lenses deliver optimal vision and performance suited to your eyes and daily activities. At Avant Garde, this exam includes: ### Comprehensive Ocular Evaluation A full eye health check (vision, eye pressure, and overall ocular assessment) lays the groundwork for safe contact lens wear. ### Corneal Topography & Tear Film Analysis Digital mapping of your cornea and a tear‑film assessment pinpoint the soft, toric, monovision, or multifocal lenses best suited for your eyes. ### Trial Lens Fitting & Over‑Refraction You’ll wear one or two trial lenses for several days. At your follow‑up (usually 3–7 days later), we measure your vision in those lenses and refine the prescription with an over‑refraction if needed. ### Lens Movement & Comfort Check Dr. Yee observes how each trial lens settles and moves on your eye, ensuring proper fit, breathability, and all‑day comfort. ### Insertion & Removal Training First‑time wearers receive hands‑on coaching until you confidently insert and remove your lenses, preventing hassles or emergencies. ### Personalized Follow‑Up If your initial trials aren’t perfect, we’ll select new lens options and repeat the process until we find your ideal match. **Because we don’t finalize your prescription on exam day, you only invest in the contacts that truly work for you.** For specialty fits (like RGP, ortho‑keratology, or keratoconus lenses) we’ll provide a referral to a partner location. Serving Frisco and all of Collin & Denton counties, our patient‑first approach and advanced diagnostic tools make every contact lens exam both precise and comfortable.

Restoration. Ongoing Comfort. Persistently gritty, burning, or irritated eyes don’t have to be your norm. Dry eye therapy with Avant Garde pinpoints the root cause of your discomfort, whether it’s seasonal allergies, long screen hours, or chronic tear‑film imbalance, and delivers targeted treatments to restore healthy, lasting moisture. [SCHEDULE YOUR DRY EYE THERAPY](https://www.zocdoc.com/practice/avant-garde-optometry-39504?lock=true&isNewPatient=false&referrerType=widget) ## What Is Dry Eye Therapy? Dry eye therapy is a multi‑step approach that diagnoses which layer of your three‑tier tear film is underperforming and applies proven treatments to rebalance it. By combining advanced diagnostics with personalized interventions like gland expression, tear‑stabilizing products, anti‑inflammatory medications, and punctal plugs, this therapy goes beyond drops to address the underlying causes of irritation. ## How Dry Eye Therapy Works ### Comprehensive Tear‑Film Analysis Specialized tests reveal deficiencies in your lipid, aqueous, or mucin layers so treatments target exactly what your eyes need. ### Meibomian Gland Expression Gentle, in‑office gland clearing boosts your oil layer, preventing rapid tear evaporation and improving comfort. ### Tear‑Stabilizing Products - **Oasis Tears Plus:** Preservative‑free formula that supports all three tear layers - **Retaine NaCl:** Powerful anti‑inflammatory drops for corneal relief - **Retaine Flaxseed Vitamins:** Natural supplementation to calm eyelid inflammation ### Thermal & Mechanical Therapies - **Oasis Rest & Relief Mask:** Warm compress breaks up clogged glands - **Oasis Lid & Lash (Tea Tree):** Clears debris and reduces eyelid inflammation ### Adjunctive Treatments Options like anti‑inflammatory prescriptions and punctal plugs extend tear retention and reduce irritation—customized to your needs.

The land of enchantment had such a different culture and landscape than the lone star state. This planted the seed for Dr. Yee to explore and find adventure in every state and every country. After seeing and experiencing Machu Picchu, the great wall of China, the Parthenon, Christ the Redeemer and the beauty of Croatian shores, she put all the art and design into Avant-Garde Optometry. We as a company, believe traveling to strange and different lands help you to find yourself. And the farther you go, the greater the clarity of yourself you will see. The better you know yourself, the greater you can express yourself. Let us improve your focus and vision of the world so you can go out and wander boldly. ## Meet The Team ![Dr. Jamie Yee](https://www.ag-eyecare.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/Rectangle-65.png) ## Dr. Jamie Yee Founder & CEO ![Martha Garza](https://www.ag-eyecare.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/Martha.jpg) ## Martha Garza Chief Operation Officer ![Dr. Roxana Pachecho](https://www.ag-eyecare.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/dr-pachecho.png) ## Dr. Roxana Pachecho Associate Doctor ![Nadia Taefi](https://www.ag-eyecare.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/Nadia-Taefi-1.jpg) ## Nadia Taefi Optician ![Mahnaz Delkahi](https://www.ag-eyecare.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/Mahanaz.jpg) ## Mahnaz Delkahi Optician [LEARN MORE](https://www.ag-eyecare.com/meet-the-team/) ## Frequently Asked Questions [?'s FOR DOCTOR](https://www.ag-eyecare.com/about/#doctor) [?'s ABOUT GLASSES](https://www.ag-eyecare.com/about/#glasses) [?'s ABOUT CONTACT LENS](https://www.ag-eyecare.com/about/#contact-lens) [?'s ABOUT FEES](https://www.ag-eyecare.com/about/#fees) [?'s GENERAL](https://www.ag-eyecare.com/about/#general-questions) ## QUESTIONS FOR THE DOCTOR #### [What if I can't see with my new contacts?](#what-if-i-cant-see-with-my-new-contacts563a-506f) If your contact lenses initially fit well but later cause blurriness or discomfort, several factors might be at play. Seasonal changes, windy conditions, pollution, and high allergy levels can all affect lens comfort, making some days less ideal for wear. Discomfort with clear vision may indicate dryness or inflammation of the ocular surface. In such cases, use the eye drops recommended by your doctor during your last visit, or contact our office to obtain a recommendation from your doctor. Blurred vision could result from bodily changes like spikes in blood pressure or blood sugar levels. Should you notice a change in your vision, it’s important to schedule a new eye exam with us. #### [What if my new contacts hurt? Or dry out faster than usual?](#contacts-hurt-or-dry-out-faster-than-usual563a-506f) We can either refit you in contact lenses that are thinner, have more oxygen, or retain moisture better. Always call our office and ask about your refitting options. If you like the contacts but feel they dry out too quickly, we highly recommend an office visit to our dry eye clinic so we can treat your dry eye properly, ensuring your contact lenses remain comfortable throughout the day. #### [What if I haven't received my contacts yet?](#havent-received-contacts-yet563a-506f) For updates on your contact lens delivery, please contact our office directly. Like any manufacturing process, the production of contact lenses can face delays due to weather conditions or unexpected challenges. Rest assured, we will provide you with sufficient trial lenses to ensure your comfort and vision needs are met until your order arrives at your doorstep. #### [What if my contact lens rebate did not go through?](#contacts-rebate-did-not-go-through563a-506f) Always contact our office and we can reach out to the contact lens representative and get back to you in 24 hours. #### [Can I place an order for contacts?](#place-order-for-contacts563a-506f) Of course, if you have an Alcon or Johnson & Johnson lens you can now re-order through email. If you have a CooperVision or Bausch + Lomb lens, call our office or reach out to us [via email](mailto:jyee@ag-eyecare.com) and we will call you back with a contact lens quote. ![](https://www.ag-eyecare.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/Group-40.png "Group 40") ## GLASSES QUESTIONS #### [What if I can't see with the glasses I just bought?](#what-if-i-cant-see-with-my-glasses563a-506f) Experiencing a ‘different, blurred, skewed, or wonky’ vision with new glasses is normal. If your doctor confirmed a change in prescription, give your eyes time to adjust to the new lenses. Relaxing your eyes helps ease into the change, improving comfort. If there’s no prescription change, the issue might stem from not adapting to the new lenses or their fit in the frames. Incorrect pupillary distance or optical center height could also cause discomfort. Wear the glasses for 7-10 days to adjust. If problems persist, note whether adjusting the glasses’ position closer to or further from your eyes makes a difference. Also, does it look better from the top or bottom of the frame? Sharing these observations with your optician is crucial for finding a comfortable solution. #### [What if my frames hurt that I just bought?](#what-if-frames-hurt-that-i-just-bought563a-506f) Your comfort is our top priority. The first step is to visit ouroptical center, where our trained opticians can adjust and fit the frames better to your face for optimal comfort.. Different frames have their own unique feel, and some are just too heavy in the nose, ears, or rest uncomfortably on your cheeks. If we cannot achieve a better fit, we will happily exchange your frames for ones that provide a more comfortable fit. #### [What if I don't like the way the frames or lenses that I just bought look like?](#what-if-i-dont-like-the-way-the-frames-lenses-look-like563a-506f) The most common aesthetic complaint about new glasses are the thickness of the lenses or the appearance of anti-reflective coating. If you don’t like the way it looks, we can always upgrade you to a thinner lens and/or change your anti-reflective treatment to something less noticeable. We invite you to consult with our opticians to explore all available options. #### [Are my glasses ready yet?](#are-my-glasses-ready563a-506f) We utilize a daily-updated Hoya spreadsheet to track the production stages of your glasses. Any issues such as lens cutting difficulties or scratches during manufacturing may cause delays. If it’s been longer than 5-10 days without notification via call, text, or email that your glasses are ready, please reach out to us and we will contact you within 24 hours. #### [My frame broke but I heard it's under warranty, what counts under the warranty?](#my-frame-broke-what-counts-under-the-warranty563a-506f) If you purchased glasses from us within the past year, we offer a free replacement for damaged frames. However, the frame manufacturers require proof of the damage. The only exception is if the frame has been discontinued from the fashion line; in such cases, we will work with you to find an alternative solution. Please note that frames with bite marks, teeth marks, or damage from extreme heat—indicating clear abuse—are not eligible for this warranty. #### [The lenses that I bought from your practice scratched even with the anti-reflective treatment, is it under warranty?](#lenses-scratched-even-with-the-anit-reflective-treatment-is-it-under-warranty563a-506f) Yes, as long as there are no bite or teeth marks, Hoya will replace your scratched lenses for a full year as long as the anti-reflective treatment was protecting the lens. #### [My frames don't fit like they used to. What should I do?](#my-frames-dont-fit-like-they-used-to-what-should-i-do563a-506f) Everyone should come in every six months to get their lenses re-adjusted to their face. Frames will naturally go out of alignment and we need to bend them back into alignment. An optician is always available for adjustments. ![](https://www.ag-eyecare.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/Group-50.png "Group 50") ## CONTACT LENS QUESTIONS #### [What if I didn’t want my prescription to change?](#didnt-want-prescription-to-change563a-506f) This is the most common question asked to optometrists. The answer is twofold. First, no one wants their contacts and glasses prescription to change and change does require adaptation. Secondly, we will always work with you as long as you have an old prescription, the doctors will try to bring your prescription as close to your old prescription. The only time we cannot change the prescription is when an older prescription is blurring the vision and is no longer meeting the patient’s current visual needs. #### [What if I feel eye strain when wearing my multifocal/monovision contact lenses?](#eye-strain-wearing-contacts563a-506f) Eyestrain or slightly blurred vision with multifocal/monovision is completely normal and expected. Multifocal contacts are made of concentric rings that focus your vision at distance and near at the same time. Your brain cues in on what you want to see and attempts to ignore the ‘blurred concentric ring’ that focuses on the distance other than what you are looking at . Multifocal/monovision contacts are great for seeing both distance and near but everything will be slightly out of focus due to the design. Most of our multifocal patients wear the contacts 25%-50% of the time so their eyes can have a break with glasses. #### [What if my prescription feels too weak?](#prescription-feels-too-weak563a-506f) Did you know many people, especially myopes decrease in prescription as they older? As the eye changes and evolves, it can be difficult to adapt to a prescription that has less minus or more plus. Relax the eyes and if the vision continues to feel blurred in contacts and glasses, call our office and we will find a solution. The doctors have told all medical technicians that we approve more or less .25 changes to prescription because it is a mild change and also can improve comfort. #### [What if I notice the add power or the boost in power at the bottom of my multifocal glasses?](#add-power-or-boost-in-power-at-bottom-of-my-glasses563a-506f) With Sync, ID screen, and progressive, there is a learning/adaptation period. When you look straight ahead in the distance you will see a ‘swim effect’ on the bottom of the lenses in the glasses. This wave effect will be less noticeable the more you wear the glasses. If after 7-10 days you cannot adapt to the ‘feel’ of multifocal glasses, we can easily fit you in a pair of glasses for distance and a pair of glasses for near/computer/reading. #### [What if I didn’t like the eye doctor I saw?](#what-if-i-dont-like-eye-doctor563a-506f) Because Avant-Garde is open six days a week, there will always be two doctors working at the practice. All doctors recognize that not every patient-practitioner relationship is a perfect fit and we don’t take it personally. Please let reception know the [eye doctor](https://www.ag-eyecare.com/) you prefer to see for future examinations. Please note that Dr. Jamie Yee is the owner and gets booked up the fastest. #### [Has the doctor filled out or started my prior authorization?](#has-doctor-started-my-prior-authorization563a-506f) Prior authorization is a frustrating process where the doctor and pharmacy vouch for you to get the eye drops but your insurance company pushes back and wants to know why you need it. If you would like to know the status please call or email our office. We will let you know where it is in the process. Also, some pharmacies start a prior authorization and don’t let the doctors know so it stays in limbo until a patient calls. #### [Why do I need the optomap?](#why-do-i-need-the-optomap563a-506f) The optomap replaces dilation. Very few optometrists dilate due to the lengthy process of waiting for the eyes to dilate, and the uncomfortable side effects of dilation (experiencing difficulty with near vision and excessive brightness for 2-5 hours.). Insurance does not cover optomap but does cover dilation. Know that optomap photos and/or dilation is highly recommended once a year. Most eye diseases have no symptoms and do not blur your vision. and We can only see these diseases or conditions with an optomap. If you are diabetic or pre-diabetic an optomap photo is 100% non-negotiable, as the primary care physician needs to know the level of retinopathy and we need all retinopathy on record. #### [What does the prescription mean?](#prescription-mean563a-506f) Always ask the doctor in the examination what your contacts and glasses prescription means. Dr. Yee goes over the level of myopia/hyperopia, your astigmatism, your axis, and any presbyopia during the exam. Feel free to ask her any questions during this exam. After the exam if you have any questions, the opticians would be more than happy to explain your prescription in greater detail. ![](https://www.ag-eyecare.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/Group-51.png "Group 51") ## QUESTIONS ABOUT FEES #### [Is my insurance open and what’s my copay?](#insurance-and-copay563a-506f) We always want our patients to be informed about their insurance. We cannot always look up the insurance when the appointment is made but let reception know you need to know this information prior to the appointment date. We typically look up everyone’s insurance two days before the appointment. #### [Why do I have a balance from an office visit?](#office-visit-balance563a-506f) Medical insurance is the most fickle and confusing part of the medical world. We always look up copays prior to the exam but because deductibles are a large part of how much a patient needs to pay, a patient commonly will owe more once the exam is filed. If we overcharged a patient, we always call the patient when we get the claim and refund the amount. For patients that don’t call back, we keep a credit on their account. ![](https://www.ag-eyecare.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/side-image-fees.png "side-image-fees") ## QUESTIONS GENERAL #### [Can I have a copy of my prescription/fee slip/optomap/exam?](#copy-of-prescription-fee-slip-optomap-exam563a-506f) We will always supply any information that is requested. Due to HIPAA, we can only email medical information for the email that the HIPAA was signed. If you do not want an email on file that is HIPAA safe we can hand you the documents or we can mail the documents. #### [What if I didn’t like the optician that sold the glasses?](#what-if-i-didnt-like-optician563a-506f) Should you ever feel that your optician isn’t meeting your needs, please don’t hesitate to inform us through phone or email. In response, we will promptly pair you with a new optician for your future visits, ensuring the previous one no longer serves you. At Avant-Garde, we recognize the importance of finding an optician who truly understands your vision care requirements. Rest assured, with our team of 3-4 dedicated full-time and part-time opticians, switching to a better-suited professional is a seamless process for us. Your satisfaction and comfort are our top priorities, and we’re committed to making sure every match is the right one. #### [How do I find your practice?](#how-do-i-find-your-practice563a-506f) If you are lost please call our office at [(214) 407-7399](tel:2144077399) and we can help direct you. We always tell patients we are next to Rockfish Frisco and in front of Main Event on the Dallas north tollway. ![](https://www.ag-eyecare.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/side-image1.png "side-image1") ## Testimonials Staff was very friendly.

The land of enchantment had such a different culture and landscape than the lone star state. This planted the seed for Dr. Yee to explore and find adventure in every state and every country. After seeing and experiencing Machu Picchu, the great wall of China, the Parthenon, Christ the Redeemer and the beauty of Croatian shores, she put all the art and design into Avant-Garde Optometry. We as a company, believe traveling to strange and different lands help you to find yourself. And the farther you go, the greater the clarity of yourself you will see. The better you know yourself, the greater you can express yourself. Let us improve your focus and vision of the world so you can go out and wander boldly. ## Meet The Team ![Dr. Jamie Yee](https://www.ag-eyecare.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/Rectangle-65.png) ## Dr. Jamie Yee Founder & CEO ![Martha Garza](https://www.ag-eyecare.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/Martha.jpg) ## Martha Garza Chief Operation Officer ![Dr. Joseph Vu](https://www.ag-eyecare.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/Dr.-Vu.jpg) ## Dr. Joseph Vu Associate Doctor ![Nadia Taefi](https://www.ag-eyecare.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/Nadia-Taefi-1.jpg) ## Nadia Taefi Optician ![Mahnaz Delkahi](https://www.ag-eyecare.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/Mahanaz.jpg) ## Mahnaz Delkahi Optician [LEARN MORE](https://www.ag-eyecare.com/meet-the-team/) ## Frequently Asked Questions [?'s FOR DOCTOR](https://www.ag-eyecare.com/about/#doctor) [?'s ABOUT GLASSES](https://www.ag-eyecare.com/about/#glasses) [?'s ABOUT CONTACT LENS](https://www.ag-eyecare.com/about/#contact-lens) [?'s ABOUT FEES](https://www.ag-eyecare.com/about/#fees) [?'s GENERAL](https://www.ag-eyecare.com/about/#general-questions) ## QUESTIONS FOR THE DOCTOR #### [What if I can't see with my new contacts?](#what-if-i-cant-see-with-my-new-contacts) If your contact lenses initially fit well but later cause blurriness or discomfort, several factors might be at play. Seasonal changes, windy conditions, pollution, and high allergy levels can all affect lens comfort, making some days less ideal for wear. Discomfort with clear vision may indicate dryness or inflammation of the ocular surface. In such cases, use the eye drops recommended by your doctor during your last visit, or contact our office to obtain a recommendation from your doctor. Blurred vision could result from bodily changes like spikes in blood pressure or blood sugar levels. Should you notice a change in your vision, it’s important to schedule a new eye exam with us. #### [What if my new contacts hurt? Or dry out faster than usual?](#contacts-hurt-or-dry-out-faster-than-usual) We can either refit you in contact lenses that are thinner, have more oxygen, or retain moisture better. Always call our office and ask about your refitting options. If you like the contacts but feel they dry out too quickly, we highly recommend an office visit to our dry eye clinic so we can treat your dry eye properly, ensuring your contact lenses remain comfortable throughout the day. #### [What if I haven't received my contacts yet?](#havent-received-contacts-yet) For updates on your contact lens delivery, please contact our office directly. Like any manufacturing process, the production of contact lenses can face delays due to weather conditions or unexpected challenges. Rest assured, we will provide you with sufficient trial lenses to ensure your comfort and vision needs are met until your order arrives at your doorstep. #### [What if my contact lens rebate did not go through?](#contacts-rebate-did-not-go-through) Always contact our office and we can reach out to the contact lens representative and get back to you in 24 hours. #### [Can I place an order for contacts?](#place-order-for-contacts) Of course, if you have an Alcon or Johnson & Johnson lens you can now re-order through email. If you have a CooperVision or Bausch + Lomb lens, call our office or reach out to us [via email](mailto:jyee@ag-eyecare.com) and we will call you back with a contact lens quote. ![](https://www.ag-eyecare.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/Group-40.png "Group 40") ## GLASSES QUESTIONS #### [What if I can't see with the glasses I just bought?](#what-if-i-cant-see-with-my-glasses) Experiencing a ‘different, blurred, skewed, or wonky’ vision with new glasses is normal. If your doctor confirmed a change in prescription, give your eyes time to adjust to the new lenses. Relaxing your eyes helps ease into the change, improving comfort. If there’s no prescription change, the issue might stem from not adapting to the new lenses or their fit in the frames. Incorrect pupillary distance or optical center height could also cause discomfort. Wear the glasses for 7-10 days to adjust. If problems persist, note whether adjusting the glasses’ position closer to or further from your eyes makes a difference. Also, does it look better from the top or bottom of the frame? Sharing these observations with your optician is crucial for finding a comfortable solution. #### [What if my frames hurt that I just bought?](#what-if-frames-hurt-that-i-just-bought) Your comfort is our top priority. The first step is to visit ouroptical center, where our trained opticians can adjust and fit the frames better to your face for optimal comfort.. Different frames have their own unique feel, and some are just too heavy in the nose, ears, or rest uncomfortably on your cheeks. If we cannot achieve a better fit, we will happily exchange your frames for ones that provide a more comfortable fit. #### [What if I don't like the way the frames or lenses that I just bought look like?](#what-if-i-dont-like-the-way-the-frames-lenses-look-like) The most common aesthetic complaint about new glasses are the thickness of the lenses or the appearance of anti-reflective coating. If you don’t like the way it looks, we can always upgrade you to a thinner lens and/or change your anti-reflective treatment to something less noticeable. We invite you to consult with our opticians to explore all available options. #### [Are my glasses ready yet?](#are-my-glasses-ready) We utilize a daily-updated Hoya spreadsheet to track the production stages of your glasses. Any issues such as lens cutting difficulties or scratches during manufacturing may cause delays. If it’s been longer than 5-10 days without notification via call, text, or email that your glasses are ready, please reach out to us and we will contact you within 24 hours. #### [My frame broke but I heard it's under warranty, what counts under the warranty?](#my-frame-broke-what-counts-under-the-warranty) If you purchased glasses from us within the past year, we offer a free replacement for damaged frames. However, the frame manufacturers require proof of the damage. The only exception is if the frame has been discontinued from the fashion line; in such cases, we will work with you to find an alternative solution. Please note that frames with bite marks, teeth marks, or damage from extreme heat—indicating clear abuse—are not eligible for this warranty. #### [The lenses that I bought from your practice scratched even with the anti-reflective treatment, is it under warranty?](#lenses-scratched-even-with-the-anit-reflective-treatment-is-it-under-warranty) Yes, as long as there are no bite or teeth marks, Hoya will replace your scratched lenses for a full year as long as the anti-reflective treatment was protecting the lens. #### [My frames don't fit like they used to. What should I do?](#my-frames-dont-fit-like-they-used-to-what-should-i-do) Everyone should come in every six months to get their lenses re-adjusted to their face. Frames will naturally go out of alignment and we need to bend them back into alignment. An optician is always available for adjustments. ![](https://www.ag-eyecare.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/Group-50.png "Group 50") ## CONTACT LENS QUESTIONS #### [What if I didn’t want my prescription to change?](#didnt-want-prescription-to-change) This is the most common question asked to optometrists. The answer is twofold. First, no one wants their contacts and glasses prescription to change and change does require adaptation. Secondly, we will always work with you as long as you have an old prescription, the doctors will try to bring your prescription as close to your old prescription. The only time we cannot change the prescription is when an older prescription is blurring the vision and is no longer meeting the patient’s current visual needs. #### [What if I feel eye strain when wearing my multifocal/monovision contact lenses?](#eye-strain-wearing-contacts) Eyestrain or slightly blurred vision with multifocal/monovision is completely normal and expected. Multifocal contacts are made of concentric rings that focus your vision at distance and near at the same time. Your brain cues in on what you want to see and attempts to ignore the ‘blurred concentric ring’ that focuses on the distance other than what you are looking at . Multifocal/monovision contacts are great for seeing both distance and near but everything will be slightly out of focus due to the design. Most of our multifocal patients wear the contacts 25%-50% of the time so their eyes can have a break with glasses. #### [What if my prescription feels too weak?](#prescription-feels-too-weak) Did you know many people, especially myopes decrease in prescription as they older? As the eye changes and evolves, it can be difficult to adapt to a prescription that has less minus or more plus. Relax the eyes and if the vision continues to feel blurred in contacts and glasses, call our office and we will find a solution. The doctors have told all medical technicians that we approve more or less .25 changes to prescription because it is a mild change and also can improve comfort. #### [What if I notice the add power or the boost in power at the bottom of my multifocal glasses?](#add-power-or-boost-in-power-at-bottom-of-my-glasses) With Sync, ID screen, and progressive, there is a learning/adaptation period. When you look straight ahead in the distance you will see a ‘swim effect’ on the bottom of the lenses in the glasses. This wave effect will be less noticeable the more you wear the glasses. If after 7-10 days you cannot adapt to the ‘feel’ of multifocal glasses, we can easily fit you in a pair of glasses for distance and a pair of glasses for near/computer/reading. #### [What if I didn’t like the eye doctor I saw?](#what-if-i-dont-like-eye-doctor) Because Avant-Garde is open six days a week, there will always be two doctors working at the practice. All doctors recognize that not every patient-practitioner relationship is a perfect fit and we don’t take it personally. Please let reception know the doctor you prefer to see for future examinations. Please note that Dr. Jamie Yee is the owner and gets booked up the fastest. #### [Has the doctor filled out or started my prior authorization?](#has-doctor-started-my-prior-authorization) Prior authorization is a frustrating process where the doctor and pharmacy vouch for you to get the eye drops but your insurance company pushes back and wants to know why you need it. If you would like to know the status please call or email our office. We will let you know where it is in the process. Also, some pharmacies start a prior authorization and don’t let the doctors know so it stays in limbo until a patient calls. #### [Why do I need the optomap?](#why-do-i-need-the-optomap) The optomap replaces dilation. Very few optometrists dilate due to the lengthy process of waiting for the eyes to dilate, and the uncomfortable side effects of dilation (experiencing difficulty with near vision and excessive brightness for 2-5 hours.). Insurance does not cover optomap but does cover dilation. Know that optomap photos and/or dilation is highly recommended once a year. Most eye diseases have no symptoms and do not blur your vision. and We can only see these diseases or conditions with an optomap. If you are diabetic or pre-diabetic an optomap photo is 100% non-negotiable, as the primary care physician needs to know the level of retinopathy and we need all retinopathy on record. #### [What does the prescription mean?](#prescription-mean) Always ask the doctor in the examination what your contacts and glasses prescription means. Dr. Yee goes over the level of myopia/hyperopia, your astigmatism, your axis, and any presbyopia during the exam. Feel free to ask her any questions during this exam. After the exam if you have any questions, the opticians would be more than happy to explain your prescription in greater detail. ![](https://www.ag-eyecare.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/Group-51.png "Group 51") ## QUESTIONS ABOUT FEES #### [Is my insurance open and what’s my copay?](#insurance-and-copay) We always want our patients to be informed about their insurance. We cannot always look up the insurance when the appointment is made but let reception know you need to know this information prior to the appointment date. We typically look up everyone’s insurance two days before the appointment. #### [Why do I have a balance from an office visit?](#office-visit-balance) Medical insurance is the most fickle and confusing part of the medical world. We always look up copays prior to the exam but because deductibles are a large part of how much a patient needs to pay, a patient commonly will owe more once the exam is filed. If we overcharged a patient, we always call the patient when we get the claim and refund the amount. For patients that don’t call back, we keep a credit on their account. ![](https://www.ag-eyecare.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/side-image-fees.png "side-image-fees") ## QUESTIONS GENERAL #### [Can I have a copy of my prescription/fee slip/optomap/exam?](#copy-of-prescription-fee-slip-optomap-exam) We will always supply any information that is requested. Due to HIPAA, we can only email medical information for the email that the HIPAA was signed. If you do not want an email on file that is HIPAA safe we can hand you the documents or we can mail the documents. #### [What if I didn’t like the optician that sold the glasses?](#what-if-i-didnt-like-optician) Should you ever feel that your optician isn’t meeting your needs, please don’t hesitate to inform us through phone or email. In response, we will promptly pair you with a new optician for your future visits, ensuring the previous one no longer serves you. At Avant-Garde, we recognize the importance of finding an optician who truly understands your vision care requirements. Rest assured, with our team of 3-4 dedicated full-time and part-time opticians, switching to a better-suited professional is a seamless process for us. Your satisfaction and comfort are our top priorities, and we’re committed to making sure every match is the right one. #### [How do I find your practice?](#how-do-i-find-your-practice) If you are lost please call our office at [(214) 407-7399](tel:2144077399) and we can help direct you. We always tell patients we are next to Rockfish Frisco and in front of Main Event on the Dallas north tollway. ![](https://www.ag-eyecare.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/side-image1.png "side-image1") ## Testimonials Staff was very friendly.

Cataracts can cause a wide variety of changes from changing a patient’s prescription, to causing glare at night, to completely opacifying a patient’s line of sight. Dr. Yee examines and assesses all patients with cataracts until they are ready for Cataract extraction. If a patient is significantly impacted by the cataracts and can no longer be refracted to a better visual acuity, she discusses options for cataract extraction. She has an extensive network of local cataract surgeons if and when a patient is ready for the surgery. We offer pre and post-operative cataract surgery care as well.

If your eye or eyes are causing discomfort, you have blurred vision, the eye is red, or discharge is coming from the eye, we recommend you come and see us. There are many things that can cause your eyes to be red. If the patient is not properly examined with the slit lamp and visual system is not assessed, they can easily be mis-diagnosed and given the wrong medication and the incorrect therapy. If patients wear contact lenses, then most inflammations are exacerbated by contact lens usage and an eye doctor must assess whether the contacts are cause of the symptoms. Avant-Garde Optometry commonly sees red eyes associated with bacterial infections and viral infections along with inflammations associated with dry eye and eye allergies. Pain associated with a red eye is considered an ocular emergency and could be linked with Iritis and angle closure glaucoma. No matter what your symptoms present, we highly recommend you come in for examination.

They were able to get me in quickly!! Dr. Yee and her team performed a thorough examination. (I’m usually very nervous about getting my eyes checked, but Avant Garde uses state-of-the-art technology to make the exam process easy & painless) The doctor explained my problem and treatment plan thoroughly & took time to answer all of my questions about the medication she prescribed. My eyes feel SO much better!! Grateful to Dr. Yee and her amazing staff for taking such good care of me!! ![T Colbert](https://www.ag-eyecare.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/Asset-6.png) T Colbert Google I recently moved to the Frisco area the beginning of December, so I was on the hunt for a new optometrist out this way and I stumbled upon Avant-Garde. I had an appointment with Dr. Yee on December 31, 2019 and it was very good experience. Dr. Yee is very knowledgeable, personable, and patient. I didn't feel rushed, I could tell she truly cared about my concerns and wanted to make sure I received the best service. The front desk staff were very attentative and kind. The young lady who helped me pick out my glasses was phenomenal. I can't remember her name but I know she was wearing these dope black Gucci glasses 🙂 The selection of glasses is crazy and they have all of the brand name/label designer frames which was a plus. I am so excited to pick up my glasses and I already got my contacts, which they mailed to me! You can't go wrong if you go to Avant-Garde!!! ![Sara C](https://www.ag-eyecare.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/Asset-1.png) Sara C Zocdoc Dr. Yee is quick and efficient.

I was in and out in an hour as a walk-in. Dr.Jamie Yee has a great personality and made me feel at ease. She's the only Optometrist that has ever given me detailed results of my eye exam and proposed a plan to correct my vision. Anastasia was very easy to work with selecting my new frames. I have never worn glasses and she was able to help me pick out frames that matched my facial features allowing me to still look handsome for my wife 🙂 Highly recommend Avant-Garde Optometry! ![Eddie C](https://www.ag-eyecare.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/Asset-4-1.png) Eddie C Yelp Have been coming to this practice since it opened, and I can honestly say I will be a lifetime patient. Dr. Yee and her staff are very friendly, knowledgeable, and have earned my trust for all of my eye care needs. Ambiance: As you walk in, you will note how clean the place is. I hope you don't have sensitive eyes, because the places does truly sparkle. In addition to its cleanliness, this practice is very modern and utilizes the latest technology for your eye care needs. One example is Dr. Yee utilizes a machine to take a picture of your eye so that your eyes don't have to be dilated. No more ugly sunglasses when you leave the optometrist! Knowledge: In addition to coming in for my annual eye examination/prescription, I see Dr. Yee to treat my chronic dry eye syndrome. I thought I would have to give up wearing contacts due to the irritation/discomfort, but the contacts she put me in and the eye drops she prescribed make my eyes feel great. I also appreciated Dr. Yee walking me through just exactly what my problem was, and how her recommendations would help. Products: If you want to add a little piece of flare to your appearance, your eyewear is a great place to start, and Avant-Garde can definitely help you out with that. They carry the top designers and offer both traditional, and a little more edge products. Overall: I couldn't be happier having Dr. Yee be my optometrist. If you're new to the area or are in the market for a new eye doctor, move this place to the top of your list. ## Ready To See Beyond The Clouds?
