Prescription Eyeglasses

With all of today’s fashionable choices and new materials, shopping for prescription eyeglasses can be overwhelming. At Elmquist Eye Group, we can help you make a smart choice to fit your lifestyle and personality.

Elmquist Eye Group provides first-class quality eye care for your family in Cape Coral and Fort Myers. We have been proudly serving the Southwest Florida region for over 25 years.

Our practice combines the knowledge and expertise of opticians, optometrists and ophthalmologists in order to provide families with better eye care than each type of eye doctor could provide on his or her own.

E. Trevor Elmquist, DO, a board certified ophthalmologist and one of America’s Top Doctors, along with his partner, Kate Wagner, OD, and associate, Nina Burt, OD, provide a wide variety of eye care services, from routine eye exams for glasses to bladeless laser-assisted cataract surgery.

Full-Service Optical Boutique

The knowledgeable opticians in our Optical Boutique have over 35 years of experience and can assist you in selecting just the right frame and lenses from a wide variety of brands, including Oakley, Gucci, Coach, Ray Ban, Dolce & Gabbana, Nike, Liz Claiborne, Nautica, Lulu Guiness, Charmant,  and many others.

We are  one of only a few practices in the area to offer Visioffice, the revolutionary new measuring system that takes precise eye rotation, head posture, eye position, visual behavior, and frame measurements, and demonstrates lens enhancement features to help you select the right frames. The state-of-the-art system also lets you see yourself in new glasses before you buy!

Lens options include single vision lenses (with one focus area), bifocal lenses (with two focus areas and a visible line across the lens), trifocal lenses (with three focus areas and a visible line across the lens), and progressive lenses. We offer monthly specials as well as 20% off your second pair of eyewear.

Our Varilux Progressives provide you with near vision, intermediate vision and distance vision. There is no line across the lens, and these true “multi-focal” lenses may be the closest thing to your natural vision.

Individuals who work with computers for long periods may be interested in our new generation of freeform lenses called Shamir Computer and Shamir WorkSpace lenses. They are custom-designed for the work environment and can provide you with crisp, clear vision.

If you prefer contact lenses, we have a wide selection available including disposables, torics (used to correct astigmatism), monovision, bifocal and rigid gas permeable lenses. Once you are an established contact lens patient with Elmquist Eye Group, you can order your contact lenses online. The contact lenses can be delivered directly to your home, eliminating the need for a trip to our office.

If you haven’t had a comprehensive eye examination lately, now would be the time to schedule one! Many eye and vision problems have no symptoms, so periodic exams are an important part of maintaining healthy vision. Adults between the ages of 18 and 60 should have routine eye exams every two years, and those 61 and older should have them every year.

The dedicated staff and doctors at Elmquist Eye Group are always happy to answer your questions about prescription eyeglasses, contact lenses, and to address any concerns you may have about your eyes. Get in touch with us today at (239) 936-2020 to schedule an appointment.
