Northern Eyes OPte~CMPTerr~ce I In the language of prescription eye glasses, Northern Eyes Optical is called a "pair and a spare" store as part of the service offered by Judi Hannon and Irwin Jeffrey, co-owners of the business as well as being licensed opticians. Irwin, for instance, specializes in contact lens fittings. That kind of personalized attention and customer service is timed with quick and efficient prepartion of eye- glasses and contact lenses, saysJudi. "We do have our own lab and provide one-hour service. All a customer has to do is bring in their prescription," she said. And for those who think glasses are just glasses, think again. "Styles change," said Judi in adding that frames should complement a person's features. The choice of lens and frame may also be dictated by what a person does for a living and how a particular lens and frame is suitable for the person's job. "That's one of the things we do, consultations with people," said Judi.
