“Dr. Wong is amazing.”
“Dr Wong and team is amazing and offer great explanation to my eye prescription and problems. I got my lenses from here and Dr Wong worked with me to figure out the best lens after multiple round of trials and patiently finding the right fit. They even worked me to get replacement lens for my specs as it got scratches ( informed they r under warranty). Also their dog Chloe is the best!!!!!”
Benefits of Our Eyeglasses
Our prescription eyewear can help you see near, far, and everywhere in between, so you can enjoy everything from reading a book to viewing major life events like weddings.
Glasses are “in” and offer another way to express yourself through your wardrobe. With various options and premier brands, we offer excellent choices to match your style.
Prescription eyeglasses are the safest and easiest option to correct blurry vision. You can put on or take off glasses in an instant, and they don’t require any special cleaning solutions.
Our eyewear customization extends beyond looks into function. Patients can select between lens options that can make their glasses lighter or even double as sunglasses.
Compared to other corrective treatments like laser eye surgery, glasses are one of the most accessible and affordable ways to fix your vision.
How Do Eyeglasses Work?
Glasses can correct refractive errors, which are vision problems that occur because your eye does not correctly focus light on the retina. The retina sits near the back of your eye and transforms the light into visual information that’s sent to your brain. When light isn’t correctly redirected to this part of the eye, it often results in blurry vision and other visual impairments. Prescription glasses help redirect the light into your retinas for clearer vision. Our doctors can determine whether you need glasses during an eye exam at our La Jolla or Del Mar, CA, offices.

Focused on Better Vision
“I couldn’t have had a better overall experience at GW Eye Associates! Dr. Wong and staff couldn’t have been any more professional and attentive! I received my new pair of glasses way sooner than expected and Katie made sure they fit me perfectly prior to leaving. My new glasses look great and the prescription is spot on. I couldn’t recommend GW Eye Associates more highly. Dr. Wong and his team will take great care of you!”
Glasses vs. Contact Lenses
Eyeglasses and contact lenses are both effective treatments for common vision problems, and many patients use both to give them flexibility. Our eye doctors serving La Jolla, Carmel Valley, and all of San Diego can help you figure out whether glasses, contacts, or both solutions are best for your unique lifestyle during an eye exam.
Choosing the Right Eyeglasses
Our friendly La Jolla and Del Mar staff can help you find the right frames and lens options to suit your needs and tastes. While we can recommend certain frames or options, the choice is ultimately yours: choose what feels comfortable and looks right to you.
Frame Material
Patients should look at the type of frame first, since this choice largely impacts every other aspect of choosing a pair of glasses. Full-rimmed frames have the largest variety of colors and patterns available, while rimless frames often feature adjustable nose pieces for a more comfortable fit, and semi-rimless glasses strike a balance between the two.
Lens Shape
Your frames determine the size and shape of your lenses, which in turn affect your visual field and how the glasses look when you are wearing them. Frames are designed with certain face shapes in mind; for example, those with a heart-shaped face may want to consider frames with square, oval, and rounded oval shapes.
Comfort
Several factors play into the comfort of your glasses, including their weight, nose piece, temple length, and the size of the lenses. Pay attention to how the pair of glasses feels on your nose and on top of your ears. Our staff can measure the dimensions of your temple and other facial features to help you find a comfortable choice.
Color and Style
Some frame types show off colors and patterns a lot more prominently than others, with full-rimmed glasses offering the most surface area to display your choice. Choose a bright color that pops to help you stand out or go for a more neutral color that can seamlessly fit into almost any wardrobe style.
“Exceptional service.”
“I wanted to take a moment to express my heartfelt gratitude for the exceptional service I received at your store recently. I visited your store with a loose Lindberg frame, and I was truly impressed by the level of assistance and care I received. Your staff went above and beyond to fix my frame, and what's even more remarkable is that they did it without charging me anything.”
