Since December Eye Deal Optical on U.S. Highway 278 has been offering Covington-area residents expert optical services as well as stylish, modern products.

"We try to not have what everybody else has," said Victor Fields, manager. "That would just make us like any other eye place."

Eye Deal has one ophthalmologist and one optician on staff and is open from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. Monday through Friday and from 9 a.m. until 1 p.m. on Saturday.

Fields said presently customers can take advantage of a free eye glass exam with the purchase of one complete pair of eyeglasses purchased at regular price. Other current specials include no-line bifocals for $60 with any frame purchase as well as on contact lens exams and purchases.

"We also specialize in three-piece rimless glasses, and offer free lifetime cleaning and adjustment as well as same-day service on most prescriptions," Fields said.

In addition to eye care and exams, Eye Deal carries a range of designer frames such as C-Factor, Fendi and Dolce & Gabbana as well as a wide range of eyewear designed for children.

"We are now featuring Switch, which is a one-frame multiple magnetic interchange lens system," Fields said of the interchangeable sunglasses designed for active outdoor athletes in whatever light conditions they encounter.

Fields encouraged people to stop by the store to see the myriad of services and products Eye Deal offered.
