As the holidays approach and the waves keep rolling in along the South Bay coast, it’s a great moment to pause and check in on your vision care. Many vision plans and FSA accounts reset in January. If you don’t use leftover benefits for eye exams, glasses, or contact lenses, those allowances may simply disappear. Before the tide washes out the year, it’s a smart move to take advantage of what you’ve already earned. Schedule that visit, upgrade your eyewear, and head into 2026 with clear vision.
Whether you live in Manhattan Beach, Redondo Beach, El Segundo, or nearby areas, now is the time to act.
Start the New Year with a Fresh Prescription
A comprehensive eye exam at Advanced Eyecare Center is more than a quick prescription check. It’s a chance to fine-tune your vision for life’s many demands, from reading and screen time to winter night driving. As the seasons shift and days grow shorter, a precise prescription can make a meaningful difference for both comfort and clarity.
Even if your vision seems “fine,” a routine exam helps monitor overall eye health and detect subtle changes early. It’s a simple, practical check-in that ensures you begin next year seeing as well as possible.
Beach Days, Screen Days, and Everything In Between
Living by the coast means your eyewear needs to keep up with a variety of lifestyles. Maybe you’re heading out for a beach stroll, driving into town, or spending long hours at a screen.
At Advanced Eyecare Center, you’ll find eyewear tailored to every scenario. Polarized prescription sunglasses offer glare-free comfort for beach days, road trips, or sunny drives. For workdays filled with digital screens, blue light or computer lenses reduce eye strain and keep vision crisp. If you want seamless vision from close-up reading to distance, progressive or custom lenses give you convenience without constant swapping.
Use your remaining benefits toward quality lenses and coatings that match how you actually live and work. Functional, stylish, and balanced for coastal life.
Frames That Feel Like You
Your eyewear should reflect your personality, not just correct vision. At Advanced Eyecare Center, the optical shop carries a wide range of frame styles. From clean, minimal modern frames to bold, fashion-forward designs, there’s something for every taste.
With friendly staff to help you try on frames, get a feel for what suits your face shape, and choose lenses that match your prescription and lifestyle, picking glasses becomes a fun, low-pressure experience. If you’re attending holiday gatherings, work events, or planning a beachside holiday, a new frame can be a subtle, stylish refresh. A little “new year, new you” energy.

FAQ: Your End-of-Year Eye Care Questions

Do I need an exam to buy new glasses?
- If your prescription is more than a year old, a quick exam can ensure your new glasses work well for your current vision needs. It’s also a good chance to check eye health.

- Yes. Advanced Eyecare Center has two locations, and you can call or schedule online at the one that’s most convenient for you.
