Embracing Smart, Sustainable Eyewear | ECO Frames at Southern Eye Care Associates

We’ve always believed your eyewear should enhance your vision — and also reflect your values. That’s why we’re thrilled to introduce ECO Eyewear, the carbon-negative, fashion-forward frame line now available in Oak Hill. These frames are not just stylish — they’re designed to protect our environment and withstand day-to-day life with grace. Plus, they come with practical benefits like magnetic sunglass clips and compatibility with advanced optical lenses.

Let’s explore why ECO Eyewear stands out and how it pairs perfectly with caring for seasonal vision problems like dry eyes and allergies.

What Makes ECO Eyewear Extraordinary?

When you walk into our optical boutique in Oak Hill, you’ll notice that ECO frames offer more than beautiful design—they’re made with the planet in mind. Crafted from recycled ocean plastics, castor-seed-based bioplastics, and repurposed metals, these frames reduce your carbon footprint from day one. And with every purchase, ECO plants a tree through its partnership with Trees for the Future—over 3 million and counting!

Yet their environmental ethos doesn’t compromise practicality. The frames are lightweight, durable, and comfortably hypoallergenic. Even better, each pair is ready for modern lenses — think blue-light filters, photochromic transitions, or multifocals — so you can protect your eyes and your style simultaneously.

Sun Protection Made Easy with Magnetic Clips

Oak Hill sees shifting seasons and bright summer sun, which is where ECO’s magnetic sunglass clips shine. They slide onto your frames effortlessly, providing instant UV protection — no need for a separate pair of sunglasses. It’s a move that blends convenience with good vision care.

Linking Sustainability with Healthy Vision Habits

Opting for sustainable frames is one choice — caring for your eyes all year round is another. With allergy season and digital overload both affecting eye comfort, we offer tips to keep your vision clear and comfortable:

  • Use lubricating drops to soothe redness and dryness
  • Employ the 20‑20‑20 rule: look away from screens every 20 minutes at something 20 feet away for at least 20 seconds
  • Adjust your workspace ergonomics—keep screens at a comfortable distance and angle to reduce strain

Combining ECO Eyewear with these healthy habits ensures that your vision and comfort stay top-of-mind.

Why It's a Win-Win in Oak Hill, WV

Sustainable style that serves your eyes? That’s a win in our book. Whether you're picking up a chic new frame or moisturizing your eyes during allergy season, we believe in pairing fashion with function — and compassion for the environment.
