What is the optical boutique at American Eye Institute?

The optical boutique at American Eye Institute offers an assortment of eyewear to accommodate every need. The optical boutique provides ultra-thin lenses that minimize thickness and weight, ultra-violet coating that protects from the harmful sun rays, or an anti-reflective coating that eliminates glare.
