‘It's a great feeling to help someone see better! No matter how rough my day may have been, it all turns around when someone puts on their new glasses and I see them smile, especially a child with their first pair of glasses. My experience gives me the knowledge and ability to help you make the right frame choices for both your style and your prescription. Southpoint Vision/Specs has THE coolest frames in the Triangle! We'll not only help you see better, you'll look great doing so!

‘When fitting patients with eyeglass frames and lenses it is imperative to find optimal fit and visual acuity. Every patient is different and recognition of their physical qualities and how they use their eyes everyday helps enhance the joy of wearing eyeglasses.  I like to understand where people have been, and where they would like to go in their next pair of eyewear.  I like to incorporate their needs into the frame and lens they choose.  I look forward to seeing you in your new Specs!’

When she is not helping patients with awesome eyewear, Amber enjoys spending time with her family, hiking and volunteering.
