CRITIQUE

It was fast. I had gone to Lens Crafters for years, and they couldn't give me the appointment I wanted, and their routine care took about 3 hours, which I thought was normal. Then I ran around to Site for Sore Eyes, and they fit me in within the next day to see the doctor, and I was in and out in about an hour and half.

It was great and now I only want to go to them.

Industry Info

Select an eyewear and vision examination provider based on your individual needs.

A vision examination is one part of basic vision care; selecting corrective eyewear, such as glasses and contact lenses, is another. Choosing an eye care professional should solely depend on the needs of the patient, but it’s often driven by ease of insurance billing and claims administration.

When looking for a vision care company, make sure the people helping you are well informed. Experience and knowledge are critical to selecting safe and comfortable eyewear or contact lenses. Several major retail chains have rigorous training requirements for opticians and affiliated optometrists.

Ophthalmologists are medical doctors concerned with the anatomy, physiology and diseases of the eye, while optometrists are health care providers trained to address vision problems and care. The latter are allowed to recommend additional care and vision correction—most people think of optometrists when they go for an eye examination. In many cases, optometrists also sell corrective eyewear and contact lenses. Opticians are generally sales professionals trained to design, select, fit and disperse corrective eyewear. Most optometric offices and major retail eyewear stores staff opticians as well.

Look for a professional eyewear dispenser that’s both knowledgeable about the industry and versed in its technological advancements. Also consider the level of ongoing customer service it offers after a purchase and its selection of popular, boutique or innovative brands.

Nick Saab: A Focused Career

By James Florence, Diamond Certified Resource Reporter

FREMONT — A budding entrepreneur, Nick Saab was in search of a business to get involved in, so when a unique industry caught his eye, he knew he’d found his professional focus. “I was attracted to the eye care industry for several reasons,” he says. “First, it was stable; after all, most people need vision correction at some point in their lives. Also, I liked the fact that it involved both health and fashion, which is a pretty unusual combination.”

After starting his first eye care business in Southern California in 1997, Nick moved north to expand his professional prospects. “I owned a couple of optometry practices down south, but I saw more opportunity in the Bay Area, so I relocated. In 1999, I opened Site of Sore Eyes – Fremont, and since then we’ve expanded to four locations around the Bay Area.”

Today, Nick says his favorite part of his job is having an impact. “I like making a difference in people’s lives by improving their vision and helping them look their best in the process. Whether a client needs contact lenses or eyeglasses, when they’re able to see clearer, it’s a life-changing dynamic, which is very rewarding to be a part of.”

A resident of San Ramon (where he lives with his wife, Rola, and their children), Nick expresses his appreciation for Bay Area life. “The Bay Area is a lot of fun. From sports to outdoor activities, there’s a lot to do, and the great weather just caps it off. I also enjoy the diversity. Plus, living in San Ramon, I’m pretty centrally located, which makes it convenient for me to visit my business’ different locations.”

Outside of work, Nick spends his free time engaged in a variety of pastimes. “I like playing tennis, dining out and seeing live music,” he says. “I also read a lot—mostly business-related books—and enjoy spending weekends with my family.” Additionally, Nick does a fair amount of traveling, both domestically and internationally. “I travel about three times a year. My last trip was to Beirut, Lebanon, which is where I’m from originally.”

In his life and career, Nick espouses the importance of maintaining open connections. “One of my principles is to never burn bridges,” he explains. “By keeping connections open, you can always reach out and reconnect with people. In regard to my business, that means making sure customers never go away unhappy. Even if there is a problem, we go out of our way to make it right, with the hope that the customer will come back in the future.”

When asked the first thing he’d do if he were to retire tomorrow, Nick simply replies that he wouldn’t. “I honestly enjoy my work and have no desire to retire. Why do you think I read so many business books in my spare time? This is fun for me!”

Reducing Eye Fatigue with Modern Lenses

by Nick Saab, a Diamond Certified Expert Contributor

FREMONT — In this digital age, our increased use of computers, tablets and smartphones puts an extra strain on our vision, resulting in the modern malaise known as eye fatigue. This condition can be even more acute for those who wear glasses, as conventional lenses are prone to distortion and glare from LED screens. Fortunately, lens manufacturers are adapting to the changing needs of wearers by updating the design of modern lenses. Today’s lenses are designed to eliminate glare and distortion, as well as provide higher contrast sensitivity and better peripheral vision, giving wearers clearer, sharper vision and reducing eye fatigue.

Modern lenses also address another symptom of screen time: overexposure to blue light, a spectrum of light emitted by digital devices that further contributes to eye fatigue. Lens manufacturers now offer coatings designed to eliminate this blue light spectrum from the wearer’s vision. So, if an outdated pair of glasses is inhibiting your comfort and productivity, consider upgrading your lenses.

The Importance of Regular Eye Exams

By Nick Saab of
Site for Sore Eyes - Napa

NAPA — Your quality of vision affects your quality of life. Unfortunately, the demands of modern technology have us constantly reading small text on computer and smartphone screens, which puts great strain on our eyes. Adding to the problem, fewer school districts and municipal health offices offer vision evolutions. The best way to monitor your ocular health is to make regular, preventative visits to your eye doctor.

These visits are especially important for children and young people with a family history of vision problems. Likewise, many individuals start to experience eye strain in middle age as their professional demands require more time at the computer. As soon as you experience eye strain symptoms like blurry vision or excessive squinting, you should make an appointment with an eye doctor. By visiting your eye care professional regularly, you can address these problems before your symptoms start impacting your daily life.

Video: Lens Technology for the Digital Age

with Nick Saab of
Site for Sore Eyes - Fremont & Newark

Complete Video Transcription:

FREMONT — Host, Sarah Rutan: To alleviate eye fatigue caused by increased use of digital devices, eyewear makers have changed the design of modern lenses. To learn more, we’re with Dr. Edward Loui of Site for Sore Eyes – Fremont, speaking on behalf of Diamond Certified Expert Contributor Nick Saab.

Dr. Edward Loui: We’re living in a world where we are increasingly using digital devices and looking at our tablets and phones and computers. And that puts an extra strain on our vision and our visual system, which causes eye strain and eye fatigue. And the old conventional lenses that we’ve had, the manufacturing of these lenses inherently causes what are called aberration or higher-order aberration in the lenses, which creates some distortion, and especially out in the periphery, and some glare, which would actually cause more eye strain.

Now, modern lenses these days, which are mostly called high-definition lenses are made in the lab in more precise form, and they can manufacture these lenses more precisely to eliminate most of these aberrations. And as a result, the vision will be clearer, sharper image, less aberration, less glare, better peripheral vision, better — higher contrast sensitivity, which is important to see things clearly.

So, the other thing that we’re finding out is that there’s a spectrum of light called blue light that we found that causes eye strain and eye fatigue. And blue light is emitted by your digital devices. And there are coatings nowadays that are designed to eliminate the blue light spectrum. And as a result, again, you would have clear vision, less glare and less eye strain when you’re using your digital-computer devices.
