We are happy to offer a one-time exchange only on the return of any new and unused sunglasses or eyeglass frame within 30 days of original purchase date. 

All prescription lenses are considered special orders, and are therefore non-refundable. However, we understand there may be times you want to change the frame even though the prescription lenses are perfect. If, within 30 days of receipt of product, you wish to exchange a frame that we have made prescription lenses for, you will be charged or credited the difference of the new frame cost. A lens credit of 50% of the original lens cost will be applied to the cost of any new lenses ordered.  

We guarantee 100% accuracy on all prescriptions or they will be remade at no charge. All prescription eyeglasses pass a stringent quality control hand inspection. The lenses are checked for accuracy at four different stations. We pride ourselves in our workmanship – accurately filling your prescription is our number one priority. In the unlikely event that an error makes it through our system, we will promptly and courteously remake the lenses to our 100% accuracy standard.

Quality Eyewear at Affordable Prices

Brighton Eye Center can provide almost any of the 116,000 different frames available in the United States for a fair market price over their actual cost.

We do not mark up prices just to mark them down again. We offer fair, money-saving prices directly to the consumer. Savings through us are as much as $150 or more on prescription eyewear and many designer sunglass lines.

Brighton Eye Center also supplies prescription lenses — at about half the price you would pay at most retail optical chains. We use no gimmicks or “add-ons,” just what is best for you at the best possible price.
