Professional Advice Tailored to You 

Your vision is as unique as your fingerprint. When you visit your optometrist, you’re not just shopping; you’re getting the knowledge of trained eye doctors who understand the nuances of optics.  

Quality glasses start right in the exam room. Ever struggle to decide which frames option, number 1 or number 2, is better?

Option 1 might provide sharper vision correction, while the other might feel more comfortable. Or perhaps they both feel the same. If you’re unsure, your optometrist will help you understand this difference and help you select the option that works well for you. 

At CHROMA, our optometrists take the time to understand your day-to-day routine, style preferences, and vision goals, so you get more than just a prescription. With our tailored recommendations and deep product knowledge, we’ll help you choose frames, lenses, and coatings that are the perfect fit for your lifestyle:

  • Do you sit at a screen all day? Blue light-blocking lenses can help prevent digital eye strain.
  • Are you active or play outdoor sports? Durable frames and scratch-resistant lenses are the way to go. 
  • Concerned about progressive lenses? We can help with this transition with tips and personalized guidance.
  • Or just want to look amazing? Our curated collection of frames from Tom Ford, Kirk and Kirk, Blackfin, Etnia Barcelona, LaFont, and l.a. Eyeworks will ensure you turn heads with bold, high-fashion frames that exude confidence, sophistication, and irresistible style

Precise Measurements

Poor-fitting eyeglasses might slide down the bridge of your nose or pinch at the temples, leaving you with headaches and discomfort. 

When your glasses don’t truly fit, you’re less likely to reach for them, forcing your eyes to work harder than they have to. Without precise measurements, you may not have optimal vision. 

At CHROMA, we use precise optical tools, like our digital pupillometer and advanced fitting systems, to ensure every measurement is spot-on. Our team is trained to fine-tune each adjustment for all-day comfort, especially for multifocal and progressive lenses that require expert calibration.

Online apps can be unreliable. An accurate pupillary distance (PD) measurement becomes even more important with multifocal lenses for a seamless transition across different distances. 

Unique Frames

At CHROMA, our frames are sourced directly from leading designers and exclusive lines you won’t find at big-box stores or third-party sellers. We pride ourselves on carrying bold, fashion-forward, and timeless collections curated for Fort Worth’s most discerning clientele.

From timeless classics to bold, modern designs, you’ll find frames that not only suit your style but are built to last—paired with the professional guidance to get it just right.

Quality Lens Technology 

Although the fun often lies in selecting a new pair of frames, the power of your glasses lies in the lenses. Their quality significantly affects your vision. 

At CHROMA we offer lenses from top-tier labs known for precision and innovation. We pair your prescription with advanced materials and performance coatings, because every detail matters when it comes to clear, comfortable vision.

Some of these custom coatings that enhance your day-to-day life include:

  • Anti-reflective coatings
  • Scratch-resistant coatings
  • Polarized options for sunglasses
  • UV protection or transition lenses
  • High-index, ultra-thin lenses for stronger prescriptions

Eyeglasses are an investment, which is why their quality truly matters.

Ongoing Follow-Up Care 

Glasses are like jeans. Even when they fit perfectly, over time, they can relax and may need adjustment. When you choose CHROMA, you’re not just getting glasses, you’re getting a lasting partnership. We offer complimentary adjustments and cleaning for the life of your frames, because your comfort and satisfaction matter long after you leave the office.

This added convenience helps your glasses remain practical and comfortable for the long haul. 

Warranties & Repairs 

Accidents happen, and glasses are no exception. What do you do when you sit on your frames, scratch a lens, or notice a loose hinge? At CHROMA, our close relationships with lens and frame manufacturers mean faster repairs, easy warranty claims, and fewer headaches.

Whether it’s a minor fix or a full replacement, our in-house team gets it done right with minimal disruption to your day. It’s all part of the added peace of mind you get when you invest in eyewear with CHROMA.
