LENSES WE OFFER

Contact Lenses

Contact lenses are thin corrective lenses that sit directly on the eye to improve vision by correcting refractive errors such as nearsightedness, farsightedness, astigmatism, and presbyopia, offering a more natural, unobstructed field of view and freedom from frames for active or style-conscious wearers. Learn more about the pros & cons.

Bifocal Lenses

Bifocal lenses have two viewing areas in one lens—distance vision on top and reading vision on the bottom. They are a simple, reliable solution for people who need help seeing both near and far.

Progressive Lenses

Progressive lenses provide clear vision at all distances—near, intermediate, and far—without any visible lines. They offer a smooth, natural transition between prescriptions, so you can read, use a computer, and see far away with one pair of glasses. Perfect for a modern, seamless look and everyday convenience.

Transition Lenses

Transition lenses are photochromic eyeglass lenses that automatically darken in UV light and return to clear indoors, giving you both regular glasses and sunglasses in one pair. They provide full UV protection and are convenient for everyday wear, especially if you’re frequently moving between inside and outside.

  • Elsie Lopez

    “I received a recommendation, JAM Optical up the street, and what a blessing that was! I called and was immediately impressed—the person on the other end was pleasant and answered all my questions. When I visited, I found the best frame selection I’ve seen in over 10 years of wearing glasses—all approved by MassHealth, with great options for men, women, and kids. No appointment needed!

    Alex took his time helping me choose the best option. He was patient, knowledgeable, and truly cares about his customers. He explained things no one had ever taken the time to explain before. I’m beyond thankful to have found such a wonderful optical so close to home. Highly recommend!”
