Completing your eye exam at Briargrove Eye Center is just the start of your journey toward clear vision and healthy eyes. Whether you're picking up new glasses, scheduling family visits, or looking for everyday care tips, here’s what you must know clear, concise, and tailored to residents of Uptown Houston.
How Long Will My Glasses Take to Be Ready?
Expect your glasses to be complete in 7 to 10 business days. Some factors may extend this timeframe:
- Custom frame sizes
- Special lens coatings, such as anti-reflective or blue-light filters
If you're on a tight schedule, simply let our team know and we’ll do our best to accommodate.
Are My Glasses Covered by Warranty?
Yes—your glasses come standard with:
- Frame Protection: A 1-year manufacturer’s warranty covers defects (wearing out over time), not accidental damage.
- Lens Protection: Warranty covers scratches or flaws in anti-reflective (AR) coatings for one year from purchase.
If you're unsure about coverage, reach out, and our team will help clarify your options.
Best Practices for Glasses Cleaning & Care
Proper care extends your glasses’ life and preserves lens clarity. Follow these expert guidelines:
Recommended Cleaning Methods:
- Wipe only with a microfiber cloth or 100% cotton cloth—no paper products.
- For persistent smudges once a week: Use a drop of Dawn dish soap with lukewarm water Or an alcohol swab, followed by a microfiber wipe
What to Avoid:
- Over-cleaning can create a ring or haze, indicating wear on the AR coating.
- Harsh cleaners and abrasive materials can scratch lenses.

- Saturdays: Up to 2 family members
