Ask the Eye Doctor

WHY IS IT BENEFICIAL TO PURCHASE GLASSES FROM A CERTIFIED OPTICIAN RATHER THAN ONLINE?

Purchasing glasses from a certified optician allows for a more personalized experience. Optometrists are trained to conduct comprehensive eye exams and can provide a customized prescription and lens recommendation based on your specific needs. A certified optician will work with those recommendations to find the best options for you. Online retailers may not have the same level of expertise or attention to detail.

HOW CAN A CERTIFIED OPTICIAN ENSURE A PROPER FIT FOR GLASSES COMPARED TO ONLINE PURCHASES?

Certified opticians can take precise measurements (way more than just your PD!) and make adjustments to ensure that your glasses fit properly and comfortably. Online purchases do not offer this level of customization and may result in glasses that do not fit properly, causing discomfort or vision problems.

WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF HAVING A CERTIFIED OPTICIAN HELP WITH FRAME SELECTION?

Certified opticians can recommend frames that complement your face shape, skin tone, and personal style. They also offer high-quality frames from reputable brands that meet safety and durability standards. Online purchases may not offer the same level of selection or quality assurance. A common misconception is that all frames and lens styles will work with any prescription! However, your prescription can limit the frame and lens styles that can be compatible. Certain frame styles can make your lens edges too thick or too thin!

CAN A CERTIFIED OPTICIAN PROVIDE ONGOING SUPPORT FOR GLASSES COMPARED TO ONLINE PURCHASES?

Yes, certified opticians can provide ongoing support for your glasses. They can answer any questions you have about your glasses, provide advice on proper care and maintenance. Online retailers may not offer the same level of support or follow-up care.

WHAT ARE SOME POTENTIAL RISKS OF PURCHASING GLASSES ONLINE?

Some potential risks of purchasing glasses online include incorrect prescriptions, poorly fitting glasses, and low-quality lenses or frames. Additionally, online purchases may not provide the same level of customization or ongoing support as optometrists. It's important to work with a trained professional to ensure that your glasses meet your specific needs and provide optimal vision and comfort.
