Prescription eyeglasses are a reliable and comfortable way to correct vision while expressing your personal style. At Ellis County Eye Center in Ennis, we offer a wide selection of eyeglasses and professional guidance to help you see clearly and feel confident in your eyewear.
What Are Prescription Eyeglasses?
Prescription eyeglasses are custom made glasses designed to correct vision problems such as nearsightedness, farsightedness, astigmatism, and presbyopia. Your prescription is based on the results of a comprehensive eye exam.
Eyeglasses can be worn full time or as needed for specific activities such as reading, driving, or computer use.
Choosing the Right Frames
The right eyeglass frames should feel comfortable, fit properly, and reflect your personal style. We offer a variety of frame options in different shapes, sizes, colors, and materials.
Our opticians help you choose frames that complement your face shape, support your prescription, and fit your daily routine.

Prescription eyeglasses can be customized to meet different vision needs. Options may include:
- Single vision glasses for one viewing distance
- Bifocal glasses for near and distance vision
- Progressive glasses for smooth vision at all distances

We will explain your prescription and help you choose the best eyeglass solution for your vision needs.

Frequently Asked Questions About Prescription Eyeglasses
How do I know when I need new prescription eyeglasses?
Common signs include blurry vision, headaches, eye strain, or difficulty seeing clearly at night. A comprehensive eye exam can confirm if your prescription has changed.
How often should I get an eye exam for prescription glasses?
Many patients benefit from an annual eye exam, but the right schedule depends on your age, vision changes, and overall eye health. Your eye doctor can recommend the best exam frequency for you.
What is the difference between single vision, bifocal, and progressive glasses?
Single vision glasses correct one viewing distance. Bifocals have two viewing areas, typically distance and near. Progressives provide a smooth transition between distance, intermediate, and near vision without a visible line.
Can my glasses lenses include anti glare or blue light protection?
Yes, many lens options include anti reflective coatings to reduce glare, and blue light filtering to support comfort during screen use. Our opticians can help you choose lens enhancements based on your daily routine.
How do I choose frames that fit well?
Frame fit depends on comfort, stability, and proper alignment for your lenses. Our optical team helps you choose frames that match your face shape, prescription needs, and style preferences, then adjusts them for a secure fit.
Can I wear contact lenses and prescription eyeglasses?
Yes, many patients use both for flexibility. Glasses can be a great backup option, and contacts may be preferred for sports, events, or certain activities.
