Finding Your New Frames

Getting new glasses frames is an exciting experience and there are more options than ever that match your style and visual needs. We offer a wide variety of frames to choose from with different colors, designs, and frame shapes. 

Purchasing inexpensive glasses often compromises on quality, leading to potential issues with lens accuracy, frame durability, and lens coatings. Optometrists provide precise prescriptions, professional fittings, and quality materials, ensuring optimal vision, comfort, and long-lasting eyewear that meets your unique needs for better eye health and satisfaction.

We look for frames and lenses that represent and promote quality and value, while working to find the perfect pair of glasses to compliment your face shape, individual personalty, and vision needs. 

At Carolina Eye on Merrimon, we find and provide frame lines that are independent and unique, and stay away from big frame lines that you find online and in box stores. We prefer our frames to be unique and one-of-a-kind for your face.

Your frames can represent a unique fashion statement and also provide necessary vision correction. Visit us today and explore what type of frames are right for you.
