- ZJZahir JanmohamedDec 17, 20255.0I love this place. I went in yesterday to get progressive lenses and I met an employee named Todd who was so kind, thoughtful, and smart. I have really bad eyes and Todd helped me understand how progressive lenses work. He was not pushy and helped me helped an informed purchase. I am def going to come here and only here from now on.
- MSMassimo SOct 28, 20255.0VIP Eyes has my business for life! I have never had better care at a glasses store in my life, and I’ve been wearing glasses for 20+ years. The team truly are experts about glasses, frames and everything in between and they do a great job of teaching their customers about all these details in a friendly, approachable manner that makes me better appreciate all that goes into glasses. Todd, thank you for your service today! I’ll be back!!!
Frequently Asked Questions About VIP Eyes
Which vision impairments can be accommodated with eyeglasses?
There are many reasons why someone may need eyeglasses, especially as they age. However, three of the most common vision impairments that require corrective lenses are:
Myopia: People with myopia, also known as “nearsightedness,” have difficulty seeing objects in the distance, even when objects close up look fine. Corrective lenses for myopia are usually concave (curved inward), projecting images back onto the retina for clearer vision.
Hyperopia: Hyperopia is colloquially known as “farsightedness;” in contrast with myopia, farsighted people have more difficulty seeing objects up close than in the distance. Lenses for hyperopia are usually convex (curved outward), bending light to converge forward in the eye to land properly on the retina.
Astigmatism: Astigmatism occurs when the eye is shaped irregularly, and may require either type of lens to correct.
What kind of lenses do you offer?
VIP Eyes carries a wide variety of lenses to suit almost any prescription. Our available lenses include:
Single vision lenses, the most common type of prescription lens (includes reading glasses).
Line bifocal lenses, which have two distinct lenses to correct vision in people with dual impairments.
Line trifocal lenses, which have an intermediate segment in-between two distinct lenses.
Glasses for computer use, including blue light blocking computer glasses that ease eye strain while looking at a screen.

How do I care for my lenses?
All plastic lenses should be cleaned with warm, soapy water when possible. The use of glass cleaners or "special wipes" is not recommended. A 100% cotton towel or cloth is the best way to dry your lenses. Examples include T-shirts, baby diapers, or terry cloth towels. Try to avoid using paper products on your plastic lenses.
Why not buy online?
While many customers are making the decision to buy prescription glasses online, a digital storefront simply doesn’t have the selection, customization and professional guidance we have in our brick-and-mortar shop. Additionally, VIP Eyes accepts insurance to keep eyewear affordable for our customers in Maine.
What kind of prescription glasses frames can you offer?
We carry a very wide selection of designer frames to suit every style, personality and budget. Below is a comprehensive list of designers you’ll find at VIP Eyes. If there is a specific designer frame that you are looking for, please call and speak to one of our frame experts, who will be more than happy to assist you.
