When it comes to eyeglasses, opting for a package service from an optician can be more cost-effective than buying frames and lenses separately. To make sure you're getting the best deal, it's important to compare the costs of both options. If you're not sure if you need custom-made reading glasses, the best way to find out is through a comprehensive eye exam. During this exam, our eye doctor will check your prescription and the health of your eyes, especially if you're older and more likely to develop age-related eye conditions such as cataracts, glaucoma, and macular degeneration.As a consumer, the first step is to get your glasses “prescribed”.
After you've paid for your test, you can request a copy of it. By law, your doctor must give it to you. You can then take that “recipe” anywhere you want your glasses made. Your doctor has no right to refuse or hesitate to provide you with your prescription. Licensed opticians are trained to help customers select their eyeglasses.
They will suggest frames that complement the person's facial structure and personal style, as well as numerous frame designs to ensure that the person is wearing the right size for optimal vision. The optometrist will help you select the most appropriate frame for your face and prescription, taking into account certain factors.
