Dear Dr. Gabe,

I was in Optometry By The Bay recently and noticed your fine selection of eye and sunglasses. Two lines in particular caught my eye – Fred Lunettes and TAG Heuer. What can you tell me about them?

Dear Dr. Gabe,

My father has lost vision because of Diabetes. Even though his glasses are new, he is having problems reading things like letters, magazines, bills, and the TV listings. He is also having problems watching TV and using the computer. This has really changed his life, and his frustration is shared with the rest of our family. Can you help?
