my brother and i took our kids yesterday and had an absolute blast-we closed down the waterpark,mostly in the wave pool[don't waste your time waiting in line for the wildebeast], then put on our dry clothes and rode some rides. the free soft drinks is a huge plus, and the mtn dew was ice cold even without ice. the people are friendly and the park was clean-the food wasn't too pricey either! do yourself a favor, take the day off,  and take your kids to holiday world! you will have a blast!

lots of color, but not crazy colors, shapes tend to be edgier and actually larger, yes larger, which we're told has part to do with fashion, and part with optics[with the advent of hi-def lenses in thinner and lighter plastic materials] basically we can fit any prescription in any frame and it will still look great and not weigh 50 pounds! stop in today and try on the newest and coolest styles-only @ garland vision!

i mean really, it is august the 15th, and my kids here in southern indiana  are already into the first week of school-it's august the 15th! we still  have 2 weeks until  labor day! it's going to be 93 degrees on monday! to top things off, we tried to take my kids swimming today only to find all of the pools empty.......jeesh.......

i'm all for education, of course it is important, but come on, starting school on the 12th of august is crazy-whatever happened to starting the day after labor day? well, i guess that would mean 3 more weeks that a lot of parents would have to figure out what to do with the kids (don't kid yourself, it's not just about education) ;->

and oh yeah, we still have cool glasses:->

Imagine a line of eyewear that can be customized exactly to the look you want-say you love the look of the frame, but wish it were a little bigger, or smaller, maybe deeper for a no-line multi-focal? maybe you love the shape of the frame but , wouldn't it be cool if you could change the temples to that really cool dark blue titanium? or maybe change the plastic frame to a titanium frame? well, with http://www.tdtomdavies.com/  " bespoke" eyewear, all of these options and more, will be be available-

 of course, only @ Garland Vision

The elegance and distinctive style found only in David Yurman created jewelery is now available in both prescription and sunwear for both men and women. Each frame is patterned after a specific piece from the jewelery collection, utilizing the specific colors of the jewelery material to determine the coloration of the eyewear piece-they are truly magnificent!

 Garland Vision is one of three select boutiques in the state of Indiana who were able to pass the strict interview process required by the Yurman corporation in order to be able to offer this truly unique collection.

Stop in today and see for yourself --they are truly jewelery for the eyes.....

Hope everyone had a great holiday season-i know we sure did-having young children definitely enhances the season-my 3 yr old daughter sat on santa's lap @ 430 christmas eve night, pleading for him to bring the only thing she wanted, " please santa, i really really want the princess bike! please!" well, trust me, this was the first time santa had heard about this must have gift......click for the rest of the story-

If we learned anything during this election season,maybe  it was that it was alright to be seen wearing fashionable eyewear-not  contact lenses-not lasik-someone in the public eye not afraid  to be seen wearing cool glasses-

cool glasses that were not just implements for vision, they were part of her "look"

and for this, again regardless of our political leanings, we can be thankful.....

Republican or Democrat, liberal or conservative, we can  at least agree on one thing-Governor Sarah Palin wears really cool glasses! and they are only available @ Garland Vision......click on the kazuo kawasaki link to the left and go to the Kazuo Kawasaki section--then stop by Garland Vision and pick out a pair  of your own! Don't accept, " we have some just like them" try on the real thing-there is a difference-come see, you'll see.......

1. " the quickie mart eye world" optical-buy one get one free, in less than an hour....-unfortunately, you usually get what you pay for-
2. the mall optical- brand names like billboards plastered on the sides of the majority of the frame offerings, tend to all look alike, and are generally overpriced.
3. your eye doctor's office--if you're lucky, they might have brought in a  frame line or two that is different than the standard vision implements that have been shown to you year after year..... 
 
and then there's garland vision.........

our mission statement has been our guideline from day one-

 

Superior Product,Superior Service,Superior Vision.

frame lines you used to have to get on a plane to find, finally available in the tri-state-and only @  garland vision

Come see, you'll see.......

Yes, junk!our mission statement @ garland vision is simple- superior product,superior service,superior vision. two of our now former name brand spring offerings arrived, and were not @ all the quality of the samples we had pre-viewed and selected-plain and simple, they were awful-poorly constructed, cheap materials, basically the same junk product you can find anywhere, they just happened to have a " name" stamped on them-we sent them back, and we won't be doing business with them in the future. we won't display junk @ garlandvision, we will stick to our mission of providing superior product,superior service, superior vision.

You can find " name" brand eyewear anywhere-you can only find superior eyewear @ garlandvision
