Clear lens
Eye care
Care TEAM that looks after your eyes.
Comprehensive eye exams
Optometrist checks your vision and prescription and screens for glaucoma, diabetic eye changes and early signs of broader health conditions.
Contact lens exams & fittings
A contact lens exam is separate from a glasses exam. We measure the shape of your eyes for contacts, choose the lens type, and check the fit and comfort. Under Pennsylvania law, contact lens prescriptions are valid for one year at most, so we renew yours each year.
Frame styling
An optician who knows how frames sit on your face, your prescription and your day.
Lens options
Single vision, bifocals, progressives, coatings, blue light filter, tints and Transitions. A lens style for every prescription, cut, tinted and fitted on site.
Frame & lens repair
Bent frame, loose screw, or sore nose pads? Glasses sliding down or pinching? Bring them in. We adjust and repair frames on site to fit your face. If a frame is broken beyond repair, we will try to find a new frame that fits your current lenses.
Featured collections
The wall, curated.
A huge selection of styles for every taste, from classic to bold. Try on as many as you like with an optician who knows how frames sit on your face.

Robin T· Google reviewInternational Vision Center is GREAT! I have been going there for years. The staff is very friendly & knowledgeable. The selection of eyeglasses they have are top notch! And the prices are very reasonable, considering they carry a large number of designer frames...
Cat W· Google reviewI've been going to there over 10 years now, and wouldn't go anywhere else. Dr. is super nice and actually takes the time to explain things during my eye exams. I have dry eyes, and she found contact lenses that I could wear all day. The staff really knows their stuff...
