Eye Wear Unlimited

Here at Eye Wear Unlimited, our community trusts us to deliver exceptional, comprehensive eye care for patients of all ages.

Optometrist Patrick Heath and Optician Russell Heath have dedicated more than 30 years to helping the people of Columbus see their very best. As brothers, they share a deep commitment to your eye health and won’t rest until you’re completely happy with your visit.

From thorough eye exams and treatments to precise fittings and repairs, we handle it all—and we’d love for you to stop by anytime.

Conditions We Help

Nearsightedness (Myopia): Difficulty seeing distant objects clearly is one of the most common vision issues we address. Through precise exams and customized glasses or contacts, we help restore clear distance vision for school, work, and daily life.

Farsightedness (Hyperopia): When near tasks like reading or using a phone become strained or blurry, we can determine the right correction so close-up vision feels natural and comfortable again.

Astigmatism: This condition often causes blurred or distorted vision at any distance. We carefully measure and correct it so your sight becomes sharp and steady.

Presbyopia: As we age, focusing up close becomes harder. We offer practical solutions—including progressive lenses and other options—so reading and near work stay easy and clear.

Dry Eye: Burning, gritty, or tired eyes are more common than many people realize. We evaluate the cause and recommend treatments that bring lasting relief and comfort.

Digital Eye Strain: Hours spent on screens can lead to headaches, blurred vision, and eye fatigue. We help reduce the strain with specialized lens options and practical advice tailored to your screen time.

Eye Allergies & Irritation: Red, itchy, or watery eyes from allergies or environmental factors can disrupt your day. We identify the triggers and provide solutions that soothe and protect your eyes.

Early Detection of Eye Disease: Conditions such as glaucoma, cataracts, and macular changes often develop quietly. Our comprehensive exams include careful screening so potential issues are caught early, when they’re most manageable.

Services We Offer

Custom Glasses: We specialize in creating the perfect pair of glasses tailored to your unique needs and lifestyle. In most cases, our on-site lab allows us to have your new glasses ready the same day.

Warranty & Protective Coatings: Most of our glasses come with a one-year, one-time replacement warranty for peace of mind. Every pair also includes complementary scratch-resistant and UV protection, with the option to add a permanent tint coating for everyday durability.

Free Repairs: We offer free repairs on all glasses—whether purchased from us or elsewhere. If we can fix them, we will, no questions asked.

Comprehensive Eye Exams: Our thorough eye exams are available for the whole family, ages six and up. We provide specialized exams for glasses, medical needs, and contact lenses so you receive exactly the care you need.

Personalized Guidance: New to glasses or contacts? No problem. Our experienced team has guided countless patients through their optical journey and is always happy to answer questions and help you feel confident every step of the way.

Optical Forms & Documentation: Need a form completed? We’re happy to help. Our optometrist provides the necessary notes for a wide range of requests, from DMV and school forms to many others.

Contact Lens Package: Interested in contacts? Our contact exam package includes your glasses prescription as a bonus, a complementary pair of trial lenses, and 50% off any in-house frames.

Buy One, Get One Free Frames: Enjoy our long-standing buy-one-get-one-free offer on any frames in the office. You’ll have three full months to redeem the free pair, giving you plenty of time to choose.

Why Is Our Approach Different?

We’re proud to be Columbus’s last family-owned and operated eye care practice. While many independent offices have closed and large corporations have moved in, we’ve stayed true to the personal care our community deserves.

We don’t accept insurance, but we make it simple by providing reimbursement forms—and our prices are highly competitive, often lower than most people’s co-pays. About a third of our patients still choose us even when they have coverage, because they value the difference in service and savings.

What really sets us apart is our on-site lab. We’re one of only two offices in the Columbus area that can offer same-day glasses in most cases. We also provide free repairs on every pair of glasses—whether they came from us or somewhere else—and we’re happy to put your new prescription into frames you already own and love.

With a wide range of options and a team that walks you through every choice, our approach is quick, precise, and genuinely family-oriented. We’d love for you to give us a try and experience the difference for yourself.

Understanding Optometry

Why do I need a yearly eye exam if I don’t have anything wrong?

Many of the most serious eye conditions develop quietly, without pain or obvious symptoms in the early stages. Glaucoma, macular changes, cataracts, and even signs of systemic issues like diabetes or high blood pressure can progress unnoticed until vision is already affected. An annual exam allows us to catch these changes early—when they’re most treatable—and protect the clear sight you rely on every day.

Vision can also shift gradually over time, so slowly that it feels normal. Regular exams ensure your prescription stays accurate and your eyes stay healthy, helping you continue to experience the beauty of life without unnecessary strain or risk. At Eye Wear Unlimited, we see these visits as simple, proactive care for something precious—your vision—and we’re here to make them thorough, clear, and comfortable for you and your family.

Getting the most out of your visit with your eye doctor

At Eye Wear Unlimited, we believe the best care happens when you truly understand your vision and the reasons behind every recommendation. When you know the “why,” you’re better equipped to protect your eye health for the long run. After your exam, we’ll sit down with you and create a personalized plan that fits your lifestyle, your goals, and any concerns you bring through the door.

We take the time to perform thorough exams so we can see the full picture of your eye health. Then we walk through everything together—prescription updates, early signs of conditions, and practical next steps—in plain language that’s easy to follow. Your vision is personal. Your future is important. And we’re here to help you experience the beauty of life as clearly as possible.

Eye care is about more than just sharper sight. It plays a vital role in your overall well-being, often revealing early signs of issues like glaucoma, cataracts, or other health concerns. While we’re experts at helping you see clearly with glasses or contacts, our care also includes careful monitoring of your eye health so nothing is overlooked.

As Columbus’s last family-owned and operated eye care practice, we invite you to experience the difference. Schedule a visit with us—no pressure, just a genuine conversation about your vision. We’d be honored to care for you and your family the same way we’ve cared for our community for decades.
