History

Established in 2010.

After over 15 years as the lease holding independent doctor of optometry at LensCrafters in the Arrowhead Towne Center, Glendale, AZ, Dr. Richard Stewart opened Avant Garde Eye Care and optical boutique.

«With rapidly advancing technology in lens materials and design, I was continually frustrated knowing that my patients were only being offered what was available at LensCrafters and not necessarily the best that was available. Opening Avant Garde Eye Care now allows me to offer the absolute best products available in the industry for the clearest, sharpest vision attainable.»
