Meet Dr. Jake Pray: Saturday Eye Exams Are Now Available Inside O'Boutique
By The O'Boutique Luxury Optical TeamEye Exams
A better eye exam does more than update your prescription. It gives you a clearer understanding of your eye health, answers the questions you have been meaning to ask, and helps you feel confident about the care you receive.
That is the philosophy Dr. Jake Pray, O.D., brings to O'Boutique Luxury Optical each Saturday through his independent practice, Elevated Eye Care.
Dr. Pray now performs full comprehensive eye exams inside our boutique in Pendleton, South Carolina, creating a more convenient option for working professionals, families, students, and anyone who finds weekday appointments difficult to manage.
Meet Dr. Jake Pray, O.D.
Dr. Jake Pray is the founder and optometrist of Elevated Eye Care, an independent eye care practice located inside O'Boutique Luxury Optical.
Patients know him for his warm, approachable chairside manner and his commitment to patient-centered care. His style is thorough without feeling rushed, educational without being overwhelming, and personal from the moment the appointment begins.
Dr. Pray has extensive experience in ocular disease management and dry eye treatment. He takes time to listen carefully, understand each patient's concerns, and explain what he sees in clear, understandable language.
His clinical specialties include:
- Comprehensive eye exams
- Ocular disease management
- Advanced retinal imaging
- Dry eye treatment
- Contact lens evaluations and fittings
His advanced medical training includes clinical rotations with Indian Health Services, time spent in a Dry Eye Clinic in Texas, and multiple international medical missions. These experiences helped shape the thoughtful and compassionate approach he brings to every exam.
"I believe every patient deserves to understand their eye health. My goal is to listen carefully, explain thoroughly, and help you feel confident about the care you receive."
That is precisely what a Saturday appointment with Dr. Pray is designed to provide.
The Same Comprehensive Exam, Now on Your Schedule
Saturday appointments are available every Saturday from 8:30 AM to 1:00 PM.
And importantly, Saturday exams are not abbreviated versions of weekday care. You receive the same full comprehensive eye exam, the same advanced technology, and the same unhurried attention you would expect during a weekday visit.
Your appointment may include:
- A complete vision assessment and updated prescription
- Digital retinal imaging with the Nidek Eidon
- Eye pressure measurement with iCare tonometry
- Screening for common eye health concerns
- Discussion of your visual needs at work, on screens, at home, and on the road
- Contact lens fitting and follow-up, when requested
- Personal frame styling and fitting with the O'Boutique optical team
The Nidek Eidon retinal imaging system allows us to capture detailed images of the back of the eye without dilation in most cases. That means less waiting, less interruption to your day, and no need to plan around blurry vision after your appointment.
The iCare tonometer measures eye pressure without the traditional air puff. It is a gentle, convenient part of the exam: one more way modern technology can make the experience feel easier.

Eye Care That Fits Real Life
A weekday appointment can sometimes mean taking time away from work, arranging childcare, or trying to coordinate several schedules at once. Saturday eye exams offer a simpler alternative.
For working professionals
You can schedule an appointment without taking time off or rearranging a full workday. With Saturday morning availability, your eye health does not have to compete with your professional responsibilities.
For families
Back-to-back appointments make it easier for parents and children to visit together. One trip can cover the needs of the whole household, with time afterward to explore eyewear or enjoy the rest of your weekend.
For contact lens wearers
If you need a new contact lens prescription, a fitting, or follow-up care, contact lens services can be requested as part of your visit. We offer personalized fittings for a variety of lens types based on comfort, prescription, and lifestyle.
For anyone overdue for an exam
If it has been a while since your last eye exam, a Saturday appointment offers a convenient way to get back on track. Annual eye exams are especially important for contact lens wearers and for individuals with a family history of eye disease, diabetes, high blood pressure, or other health concerns that may affect vision.
Where Medical Eye Care Meets Personal Style
Elevated Eye Care handles Saturday eye care, while O'Boutique remains your destination for curated eyewear, premium lenses, and personal fitting.
After your exam, you can spend time with our opticians translating your prescription into eyewear that works beautifully for your everyday life. That may mean lightweight frames for long workdays, sun protection for time outdoors, or a refined designer frame that feels like a natural extension of your personal style.
We do not believe in handing you a prescription and sending you into a crowded, impersonal retail environment. Our opticians take the time to consider fit, proportion, comfort, lens needs, and how you actually move through your day.
Kristi Thompson and our team are here to offer honest, pressure-free guidance. If a frame does not suit you, we will tell you. If another lens option better matches your routine, we will explain why. The goal is not simply to complete a purchase. It is to help you leave with eyewear you will genuinely enjoy wearing.
The technology may be advanced, but the experience remains personal. Kristi and the O'Boutique team help make sure the transition from eye health to eyewear feels seamless, calm, and considered.
