You have to wear eyeglasses…why not do it with style?  Instead of walking into the first Fort Worth optical store you see and choosing eyewear from a possibly limited selection, which may not compliment your face shape or achieve your desired look, why not go where your eyewear choices are much greater?

We always enjoy the reaction from someone realizing for the first time that wearing eyeglasses can be a lot more fun.  They come into our Fort Worth optical store, we prefer “eyewear boutique”, look around and instantly notice the higher quality eyeglass frames made by famous designers.

Once they try them on, maybe a stylish Versace designer frame or a smart Lindberg frame for instance, they’re hooked.   For the first time they see eyeglasses enhancing their appearance rather than detracting from it.  That’s the exciting thing about beautiful designer eyewear.

Suddenly, they realize, every Fort Worth optical store is not the same.  One among them offers more fashion choices than all the rest.

Fort Worth Optical Store Where Fashion Meets Function

But it’s more than just fashion and style.  There’s also another world of eyeglass lenses where vision becomes clearer and easier at all distances.  Adding the new thin and light lenses to a great looking designer eyeglass frame makes for a more elegant and graceful appearance than what many people expect from a Fort Worth optical store.

Who Shops at Adair Eyewear?

We create high-end eyewear for people who want more than ordinary eyeglasses.  They value the quality of their eyeglasses over getting them “made in an hour”.  They want a  beautiful, high-quality frame and know vision insurance won’t pay for them.

They prefer fashion, style and quality more than the one-stop convenience and know having an onsite optometrist and a display of frames under one roof does not necessarily mean it’s the best Fort Worth optical store…for them.

There is definitely a need for both for our offering of high fashion with high[quality eyeglass lenses and a Fort Worth optical store offering economy, the use of vision insurance and fast turnaround.

Where To Get an Eye Exam

Just as we specialize in only creating great eyewear, the Fort Worth eye doctors we send our clients to specialize in only giving eye exams and solutions to eye problems.

Oakley Sunglasses are the most poplar brand of sunglasses we carry. And for good reason. They have great design, they’re made of high quality materials and they look great.

The companies founder, Jim Jannard, who named the company after his dog, an English Setter, began the business by making motocross grips.

Oakley Designer Sunglasses

Oakley’ sunglasses evolved from their motocross and ski goggles they made in the early 80′s. Oakley has extremely high testing procedures that guarantee every model they introduce is of the highest quality. The lenses in particular are are tested to high standards.

Their popularity in the world of sports is only natural. From it’s beginnings in the motocross world, then spreading into the skiing industry, they’ve grown into every sport since. A major reason is lenses which are tough and shatter proof.

Oakley eyewear is very popular among military and law enforcement agencies. The impact resistance and rigid design standards are the primary reason, but the tough appearance is major factor as well.

Celebrities like them. Movie, TV and music stars wear them out of choice and due to endorsement deals. Denzel Washington and Tom Cruise wore them to with great style in recent movies.

If you have perfect vision, you can buy them right off our shelf. But if you require prescription lenses, you’re in luck too. We can order them, according to your prescription requirements. You just need to give us a current eye exam prescription, pick out your favorite Oakley sunglasses and we’ll do the rest.

Eyewear Frames have become an essential apparel accessory for many eyeglass wearers. Just as luxury shoes, clothes, writing pens and jewelry are very carefully selected for enhancing ones visual appeal, so is name brand eyewear.  Prescription eyeglasses are no longer a crime of fashion!

Eyeglass frames designed and made by the best fashion labels in the industry are now regarded as much of a vogue statement as any other accessory. If a person takes pride in wearing a watch by Tag Heuer, a dress by Tom Ford or a suit by Boss, they also proudly wear eyeglass frames by those same fashion designers.

More Than Just a Fancy Name

Don’t be fooled, these are not the same as the lower quality eyeglass frames available at an economy eyeglass store. They’re created with rare metals, exotic wood, and other unique and better materials. Even the plastic used is of a superior grade.

The craftsmanship can by very intricate as well. A walk past our display will reveal rimless frames uniquely constructed, perhaps with fishing line invisibly holding the lens in place. Or one with a complex connection between the ear piece and the frame.  Look around the streets of Fort Worth.  Prescription eyeglasses made of quality materials are everywhere.

The superior quality is can be easily seen, but it’s also quite apparent to anyone the instant they slip them on. They just feel better, sort of like a cashmere sweater feels of a higher quality.

But with better quality comes higher prices. High-end eyeglasses tend to cost more than economy glasses.

Fashion Isn’t Just For the Ladies

Men may not like to admit it, but they like fashion as well. They’ll brood over what kind of pen to carry, which footwear look best, where to purchase clothes that reflect the individual view they have of themselves.

But don’t think they’ll admit to being trend minded because they’ll tell you you’re crazy. But then they’ll start talking about getting the “right look” for their face and appearing “with it” as they try on different frames.

There’s no question, Fort Worth men really enjoy wearing high quality eyewear.

Get High Style in the Sun

Making a fashion statement with prescription eyeglasses in Fort Worth doesn’t end when stepping outdoors.

Prescription sunglasses are another chance to express oneself. If eyeglasses tend to show more the serious side of someone’s personalty, designer sunglasses are an opportunity to reveal more of the outgoing, more fun, less serious side.

While prescription sunglasses may be the more fun side of eyeglasses, they actually perform an important function. Designer, high-end sunglasses usually have better lenses, most often with protective coatings that block the sun’s ultra violet rays, which can cause permanent eye damage. A perfect example of the superior form and function of better eyeglasses.

A Prescription for Fashion

There was a time when the requirement for prescription eyewear in Fort Worth meant looking nerdy. But now, it’s an opportunity to add a new layer of style to your personal image.

When a gentleman puts on an Lindberg frame, it adds fashion and an element of good taste to his overall look. When a woman adds a beautiful Versace frame to her attire, she enjoys the same joy as when she puts a new designer dress in her closet.

So, do you have to get new prescription eyeglasses?  Great! Its a chance step up your style!

Some things in life are pure luxury.  But prescription sunglasses are a practical luxury.

Buying an expensive automobile when one half the cost would do?  Pure luxury.  Getting a Swiss watch made by one of the top names in the industry when  one far less expensive would keep better time?  Another pure luxury.

Investing in a pair of designer prescription sunglasses, with superior frames and lenses?  A practical luxury!

What’s the difference?

The first two examples are more about the outward appearance and treating yourself to the better things life has to offer.  Nothing wrong with that, right?

In any city in the world, certainly in Fort Worth, designer prescription sunglasses are also great for letting the world know you have style and taste.  And they’re a wonderful treat for yourself as you see the world through the best lenses made.  If you’ve never had a pair, you’ll have to try some on to appreciate the difference in them and inexpensive sunglasses.  That’s the luxury side of prescription designer sunglasses.

What’s the practical side?  It’s the lenses ability to protect your eyes from the sun’s harmful ultraviolet rays, which can cause eye damage…even blindness.  Put on a pair by Maui Jim, Prada, Tag Heuer or one the many great brands we carry, and you’ve taken a major step toward assuring you’ll have healthy eyes and better vision in the years to come.

What Are Your Choices?

If you require corrective lenses, what are your choices in sunglasses?   Most of our clients know the importance of having prescription sunglasses, but some people will choose a non-prescription, less expensive pair thinking “it’s good enough.”  In other words, they think buying designer prescription sunglasses are an unnecessary luxury, an extravagance in which down to earth people just don’t indulge.

Those same people would be very surprised at the number of “down to earth” people who come to us, some arriving in inexpensive automobiles and some in the most expensive in Fort Worth, who buy high-end designer prescription sunglasses.   People from all walks of life appreciate high-end eyewear.

They get them because the look great and see great in them now…but also because they know they protect their eyes for the future.

Designer prescription sunglasses:  a practical luxury!

2. Routine, meaning annual, eye exams can help prevent eye diseases and issues before they get out of hand. So you catch it early and treat it quick.

3. Things are drifting around in your eyes. They look like hairs or little squiggly things that move around when your eyes change their focus. It may not be anything, or, if you have lot’s of “floaters”, it might be something more serious. Why wonder? Go see your optometrist in Fort Worth now and have it checked.

4. You realize your “new” eyeglasses are yellow with age, the frames are held together with glue and a prayer and you look 20 years out of date. This is a serious condition known as “you need new glasses”. See your trusted high-end eyewear boutique right away.

Fort Worth Optometrist: Specialist or Optical Store?

 The main purpose of any optometrist is for giving eye examinations and the treatment for eye problems. Some will add the business of selling eyewear to their practice. This is helpful to those who want a one-stop optical store, need to use insurance and need more economical oriented glasses.

Our customers, however, want more fashion eyewear choices. They know they’ll cost more than the economy oriented eyewear, but just as they prefer nicer clothes and shoes, watches and jewelry,  and other things in their life, they also prefer designer eyewear.

If you also want more fashion choices in eyewear, come see us!  But first, if you want us to get started creating new high-end eyeglasses (and you’re willing to say goodbye to the old worn out pair), you’ll need to see your Fort Worth optometrist and get that darn eye exam!

Remember, we don’t do eye exams here…but here again is our Recommended Fort Worth Optometrists

Glasses, Fort Worth loves designer eyeglasses, have become an important fashion accessory for many people.   Just as designer shoes, clothes, wrist watches and jewelery are carefully selected for enhancing ones appearance, so is designer eyewear.

Glasses made by the top fashion names in the industry are now considered as much of a fashion statement as any other accessory.  Even more so to some style conscious people in Fort Worth.

A Rose By Any Name

 Call them what you will…eyeglasses, designer eyewear, glasses…Fort Worth clients, like people in Paris, Rome and around the world, love to wear the latest Prada frame, or Lindberg,  Versace, Polo and many other top designer brand names.

As a high-end eyewear boutique specializing in the creation of fashion eyewear glasses for our style conscious Fort Worth clientele,  we love working providing the best and most beautiful eyeglasses they’ve ever had.

But it’s not all about fashion.  Some active clients want sports eyewear glasses.  Fort Worth golf courses, lakes, basketball courts and baseball diamonds are full of people wearing eyewear made special for their activities.  Golfers love the attractive Oakley and Maui Jim sunglasses with new lens designs that make it easy for bifocal and multifocal wearers to focus on the ball.

A Prescription for Fashion

There was a time when the need for eyeglasses,  prescription glasses, eyewear in Fort Worth meant looking nerdy.  But now, it’s an opportunity to add a new dimension of fashion.  When a client puts on an Oliver Peoples Gregory Peck frame, it adds style and an element of good taste to his appearance.

When a woman adds a beautiful Cartier frame to here wardrobe, she feels the same joy as when she puts a new designer dress in her closet.  Prescription eyeglasses?  An opportunity to accessorize!

Men don’t like to admit it, but they like fashion.   They’ll agonize over what kind of watch to wear, which shoes look best, where to get clothes that reflect their personal image they have of themselves.

But don’t ask them if they’re fashion conscious because they’ll deny it to the bitter end.  Then they’ll go back to wondering which shirt to wear for an upcoming event.

Fortunately for them, when they come in to our boutique for new designer eyeglasses for men in Fort Worth, we have plenty of choices.  And we never make them admit they’re looking for fashion.

A Good Place to Start

A good way to begin the process of choosing mens eyeglass frames is to decide if you want a bold, traditional style  with black or two-tone colored frames, like an Oliver Peoples frame or a Polo frame, or perhaps a rimless look, like a Lindberg frame.

Of course there are variations of each, but that helps narrow the choices down considerably.  People are sometimes surprised to find such a large and diverse selection of men’s eyeglass frames in Fort Worth.    We like to surprise people!

Choosing Eyeglass Lenses

Once a frame is selected, a conversation about the type of lenses and coatings comes up.  Some men want thin and light lenses, need a progressive lens design for their prescription and want the latest lens anti-glare, scratch resistant coatings.  Our high-index plastic lens material and latest lens designs are perfect for them.

Some highly active men who engage in sports or are around equipment where the likelihood of  breaking eyeglass lenses is greater, need a polycarbonate lens.  They also often want the latest lens coatings and designs.

Men Love Fashion Eyewear, But Really Love Sunglasses!

Designer sunglasses for men in Fort Worth are also very popular.  Why do men love sunglasses?   Putting them on is like slipping on an extra layer of cool, of power, of macho and hipness.  Of course, the awesome effect of looking through the truly superior lenses of better sunglasses is a big factor…but instantly adding to their manly image?  You can’t beat it!

Oakley and Maui Jim are always popular because they look great,  they’re perfect for sports and can be ordered with prescription sunglass lenses.   Other brands popular among men are Tag Heuer, Porsche Carrera and of course Ray Ban sunglasses.  And we have lot’s more.

Get an Eye Exam

We like for men to stop by and consider their eyewear choices.  But to begin the process of making prescription eyeglasses or prescription sunglasses in Fort Worth, like anywhere else, requires an eyeglass prescription.

We don’t do eye exams here, but we highly recommend these Fort Worth eye doctors.

Men, like women, love fashion eyewear in Fort Worth…just don’t expect them to admit it.

People call everyday and ask if we give eye exams. The quick answer is no, we don’t.

But we enjoy helping our clients through the entire process of getting great new eyeglasses, from start to finish. So, we’re happy to refer them to a Fort Worth eye doctor we know will do a great job for them.

Click to visit our list of Fort Worth eye doctor referrals.

These are eye doctors in Fort Worth who specialize in what they do. They don’t try to wear different hats, so to speak, by providing both eye exams and eyewear. We recommend them even if you don’t want the luxury eyewear we create for our clients.

Likewise, we specialize. We focus all our energies in making high-end eyewear for people who want something more than ordinary eyeglasses. Believe me, to equip, staff and maintain and extensive inventory of the latest high-fashion eyeglass frames is a full time operation.

Specialists or One-Stop-Shop?

This may create a bit of confusion for you, if you’re here because you’re in the process of getting new eyeglasses yourself. Where should you go, to a Fort Worth eye doctor who specializes and then to us for high-end designer eyewear or to a one-stop shop?

Here’s the advice I often give to people when they call as they try to sort it all out.

Go to a one-stop clinic if…

…you need economy, speed and the use of insurance for eyeglasses.

Got to the specialists, a Fort Worth eye doctor we recommend and us, if…

…you want top designer eyewear frames, high-tech lenses and know it cost more than the economy oriented optical stores.  (And you know that we don’t take insurance for eyeglasses.)

There’s Something For Everyone

You may think I’m being critical of Fort Worth eye doctors who operate the economy type optical stores. But I’m not at all. Different people have different needs and desires, so there’s a need for both our high-end eyewear boutique and lower price optical clinics. It’s just a matter of what you need and desire.

Once again, here’s the link to our recommended list of Fort Worth eye doctors.

Good luck!

Oakley Designer Sunglasses

Thank goodness for the high quality lenses we get with Oakely sunglasses and Maui Jim sunglasses.  Fort Worth get’s it’s share of the hot sun, so we need them more than ever.   Designer sunglasses to our rescue!

Why?  It Seems like everything we do theses days has a danger attached to it.   Should we blame all on the hole in the ozone? What happened to going outside for fresh air without having to slather on lotion?  Does the sun hate us?   That sounds a little paranoid, right?

Whatever the motive of the sun, it doesn’t matter why it’s trying to harm us  as long as we do something about it.  The best thing to do?  Get high quality designer sunglasses.  Oakley and Maui Jim sunglasses are perfect.  And we can get them as prescription sunglasses as well.

So here’s the essentials of what you need to know about your eyes and the sun:

UV Rays are out to get you. Ultraviolet Radiation wants to penetrate the soft tissue of  your eyes.  It wants to cause you all kinds of permanent problems, too.  Things like macular degeneration, cataracts and other scary sounding problems.

Designer Sunglasses Block Mean UV Rays

Okay, I’m trying to scare you a little bit, but you know it’s true.  UV rays, and there are three categories of  them, can cause serious problems.  But you can do something about it and look great at the same time.

High quality designer sunglasses are made with lenses that block these rays.  Maybe not 100%, but close, and a lot more than those throw away sunglasses you throw in your cup holder when you get out of the car.  (You won’t want to throw Oakley sunglasses or Maui Jim sunglasses in the cup holder.  You’ll place them very carefully in their case because you’ll love the so much.)

The Easy Solution:  Get High-Quality Sunglasses

Don’t want to read all about the different kinds of UV rays?  That’s okay as long as you know you need to protect yourself.  Get a good, high-quality pair of designer sunglasses that will beat even the Fort Worth sun.

Wrap-arounds work very well.   Oakley and Maui Jim make some great designer sunglasses that block the sun all the way around.  That keeps light from sneaking in.  Great for sports and for driving.

Consider prescription sunglasses, even for the Oakley and Maui Jims.  We have them make your lenses for you according to your prescription.  That way, you still get the benefit of their great lenses.

Adair Eyewear offers high-end eyewear for those who want more than ordinary eyeglasses.  We carry Oakley, Maui Jim, Ray Ban, Prada, Chanel, and many more top designer sunglasses.  We provide prescription sunglasses in these designer brands as well.  Fort Worth’s choice for luxury eyewear.

Alyce and "lolie"

Alyce Adair wants the prescription eyeglasses she makes you to be so good, you’ll notice how great they are every time you put them on.

But wait, she also wants them to be so good you don’t notice you’re even wearing eyewear throughout the day.

So, which is it…notice the high quality or not notice the high quality?

“It sounds like a conflict doesn’t it?” laughs Alyce.  “But it’s really the same goal.  When I put mine on in the morning, I notice the instant clarity I get from these great lenses.

But throughout the day, while driving, looking at my iPhone or reading an optometrist’s  scrawl, I never think about them.  That’s becuase I don’t have zones of the lens that blur or distort like lower quality lenses do.  I call it seamless transition. Only well made,  high quality lenses allow you to wear them all day and not have to think about them.”

Talented Fort Worth Optician With an Eye for Fashion

Her vision for her clients doesn’t end with lenses.  She also wants your friends and coworkers to think “there’s something different about you…more handsome…more beautiful, or hipper and cooler…something.”

“Enhancing someones appearance with just the right designer eyeglass frame is always a thrill to me.  Using the fashion of eyewear to change how others perceive my client is very rewarding”, says Alyce.

Her customers agree.  Michael, a long time Adair client, says, “My Fort Worth optometrist referred me to Adair because he knew they would make better eyeglasses for me.  And I’ve continued to come back because I see better than ever and other people comment on my great looking glasses every time.”

Not an Ordinary Optical Store in Fort Worth

Is Adair Eyewear a Fort Worth optical store, vision center or fashion boutique?

All of them, really.  Alyce is an optician and fashion expert, using eyeglass frames to help men and women look their best.  It’s another reason why people go to her optical store and why Fort Worth optometrists send clients to her.

Proud of her staff at Adair, she says, “I don’t take all the credit.  I’m very fortunate to have other people working with clients and great optical experts to make excellent and beautiful eyewear.  It’s why people keep coming back to us over and over again.”

Alyce has a vision for you:  to look and see your best with high quality eyeglasses.   But she’ll do such a good job, you may not even  notice.
