Frames Matter
Quality frames make a huge difference in your optics and your overall satisfaction with your eyeglasses. We’re not just frame stylists: we’re trained opticians who have all been in the industry for a long time.
Eyeglasses That Fit You Perfectly
Frustrated with your current glasses?
At Arizona Primary Eye Care, we believe that eyeglasses should be more than just a vision correction tool; they should be an expression of your unique style and personality. Many people settle for glasses that don’t fit properly or complement their features. By the time we see them, they are frustrated, have headaches, or generally are just “making do” with their look.
We take into consideration a huge variety of factors: face shapes, current trends, lifestyle decisions, aesthetics, ideal optics, functionality, and your own sense of style.
The right lens material for you.
We have an impressive selection of lenses for your frames consisting of different compounds. These materials suit different needs so you can be sure you have the best eyeglass frame and lens set up for your specific needs.
- High Index Lenses: Thinner, lighter, and flatter than ordinary lenses. These are ideal for high prescriptions that would otherwise involve very thick lenses, or even impractical in glass or plastic.
- Trivex: Trivex lenses are thinner and more lightweight than plastic or glass, but not quite as light as high-index lenses. More impact-resistant than all other materials, and are ideal for people who work in construction, children, or people who just habitually get scratches on their glasses.
- Polycarbonate Lenses: In addition to Trivex, we recommend polycarbonate lenses for children because of their impact resistance – they are not going to shatter or splinter if impacted. They are also relatively lightweight compared to plastic and glass.

Very pleasant and professional! Now, if only I could find and MD with qualities to match these folks!
The ENTIRE staff at AZ Primary Eye Care are top shelf. My family has been seeing Dr. Nichols for several years now and could not be happier with both the service and products.
I’ve been to four different optometrists in the last 20 years. This is by far the best. Prompt, thorough and professional from reception to check out. Very well trained staff.
Great as always. Best fit and best prescription I have ever had and I have been wearing glasses most of my life.
The Dr. was great.. clear, concise and kind. The rest of the staff took her lead in those qualities as well.
Insurances We Accept
We contract with most insurance companies (see the list below), and participate with VSP and Medicare. As a courtesy, we also bill primary insurers on behalf of our patients. That means that insured patients only need to worry about their copay at the time of the exam; we will coordinate and accept payment for the rest with your primary insurer directly. The co-pay of your visit will depend on the specific insurance provider. If your provider happens to be unfamiliar to us, we can contact their business by phone and make sure we are contracted with their plan. If your insurance does cover your visit with us, we always accept cash, credit cards, personal check, Care Credit, etc. If you would like to apply for Care Credit, click here. The following is a list of some of the insurance companies that we accept. If your insurance company is not on this list, call us to see if we are contracted with them.
