Eyeglass Lenses
Your lenses shape your appearance, your comfort, your safety, and how clearly you see. The right choice depends on your prescription and how you spend your day, whether that means single-vision, progressive, or transition lenses. Our opticians will walk you through the options and recommend lens materials and coatings that suit your vision needs and lifestyle.
Eyeglass Frames
Great frames should feel like an extension of your personal style. We stock a wide variety of eyeglass frames to flatter every face shape and taste, including designer eyeglass frames from names like Kate Spade, Hugo Boss, and Under Armour, plus many more. Come in and let our advisors help you find a pair you will love wearing.
Contact Lenses
If you would rather go frame-free some or all of the time, contacts are a flexible option. At Heffington's, we fit a variety of contact lens types and powers, so you can find a comfortable, clear-seeing match for your eyes. A contact lens exam and fitting help ensure the right size, material, and prescription for all-day wear.
Sunglasses
Sunglasses are about far more than looking good, though they certainly help there too. They provide critical sun protection for your eyes, so it is worth choosing a pair with 100-percent UV protection. Consider polarized sunglasses to cut glare on bright days, and ask us about prescription sunglasses if you want UV protection and clear vision in one.
Safety Glasses
If you work in carpentry, plumbing, chemistry, or any hands-on trade, protective eyewear guards your eyes against airborne particles and hazardous chemicals. We offer safety glasses, including prescription safety glasses, so you get the coverage you need without sacrificing clear vision. Our team will help you find a comfortable, protective fit for work or projects at home.

One of the biggest advantages of shopping local is speed. Because we manufacture eyeglass lenses in our own laboratory, we are often able to offer same-day glasses right here in Springfield, MO. Instead of waiting a week or more for an outside lab, many patients walk out seeing clearly the very same day.
Making lenses in house also gives us tighter control over quality and pricing, so your glasses are made accurately the first time. If you need a fast turnaround or a walk-in visit, give us a call to check same-day availability before you come by.
Accessible Eye Care for Patients with Limited Mobility
Comfort and accessibility matter to us. Every Heffington’s location welcomes patients with limited mobility, and you are welcome to remain seated in your own chair rather than moving to an exam chair. To keep our facilities easy to navigate, we have covered entries, ADA power doors, and four-foot-wide examination room doors.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do you offer same-day glasses in Springfield?
Often, yes. Because we make eyeglass lenses in our own Springfield laboratory, many prescriptions can be completed the same day. Turnaround depends on your specific lenses and frames, so call ahead to confirm same-day availability for your order.
Do you make your own lenses?
What eyeglass frame brands do you carry?
Do I need an eye exam before I buy glasses or contacts?
To make prescription eyewear, we need a current, accurate prescription. If yours is up to date, bring it in and we will help you choose frames and lenses. If it is not, you can schedule an eye exam with us first. Contact lenses also require a separate contact lens fitting to confirm the right size and match.
Can I get prescription or polarized sunglasses?
Yes. We carry sunglasses with 100-percent UV protection and can add polarized lenses to reduce glare. If you wear a prescription, ask us about prescription sunglasses so you can protect your eyes and see clearly at the same time.
Do you offer prescription safety glasses?
Do you accept vision insurance?
We work with a range of vision plans and payment options. For current details, visit our insurance page or call the location nearest you.
