While this may seem like a less expensive option, we’d like to share some of the reasons you should consider buying glasses in person. In general, when you go up in price, you go up in technology and get better clarity of vision.
Like buying shoes, the only way to truly know if a frame fits is to try it on your face. With different shapes of noses, ears, and variables like hearing aids, it’s impossible to know if the frame will have the proper width and sit centered in front of your eyes without trying it on. Selecting a frame that’s too narrow will pinch and dent the sizes of your face, causing headaches. A frame that is too wide will slide down- a daily frustration.
Also, for the best vision, your prescription needs to be centered in front of your pupils. If the height or width of the lens optical centers is off, you’ll experience blur, distortion, or even double vision. Purchasing eyeglasses locally comes with excellent service. Our opticians ensure the frame is custom fit to you, the lens is fabricated properly, and they will repair or replace parts if needed. Lastly, your purchase keeps your dollars in your community!
