Localize it: Why keeping it close is better for you and your community

Localize it: Why keeping it close is better for you and your community

putting a bird on it, Oregonians are no stranger to keeping it local.  But when it comes to optical shops and eye exams, you might not realize your health may depend on your local choice.

Large companies see dollar signs when you walk in the door, while local eyeglass stores see their neighbor.  It makes sense to utilize the high-quality eye care the shop offers with their in-house optometrist.  If you live in Gresham, see your neighborhood Gresham optometrist!  Because local shops have you in mind, they take the time to make sure your concerns are addressed – whether it being the perfect frame or ensuring optical eye health.  Larger companies rely on volume, hence, take a number, get in line, and be prepared for a generic eye exam that’s not tailored to your individual needs.

During routine eye exams, your complete eye health is evaluated. Yes, of course, you walk out with a new pair of glasses or contacts, but your local optometrist’s primary concern is keeping your eyes healthy.  The eyes are a gateway into your whole body’s health – diseases can even be monitored or diagnosed with a high-quality eye exam.  Trust us, you don’t want these vital steps rushed by a large chain.

Local businesses also have their eye on the local community. At Mt Hood Eye Care in Gresham, we particularly focus on carrying other local brands ensuring local jobs.  By staying local, we help offset our carbon footprint (along with striving to be a green machine within our shop).  Mt Hood Eye Care also gives back by being a part of the Lions Club and carrying frame lines that support an array of charities.

Mt Hood Eye Care in Gresham adds character to the neighborhood. You will not find our frames at the generic big box store around the corner!  Our glasses are hand-selected with style and simplicity in mind. And you will find our frames, lenses, and contacts affordable! You deserve to be an individual.  We will make sure your glasses don’t wear you while making the perfect personalized statement.

As a local eye doctor in Gresham, I can speak personally, that our customer service will be the best you’ve ever had.  We really care about your experience, our community, and local investment.

SEE you at your next exam –

Dr. Annie Curttright
