It is impossible to give universal advice on choosing the perfect frames and lenses. But there is one golden rule: when choosing frames you should consider not only their appearance but also discuss the following questions with a specialist (optometrist): Where and how, mostly, are you going to use your glasses? What are your habits? Do you plan to wear your glasses while playing sports, for example? Eyeglass lenses have different optical powers, which are expressed in dioptres. The optical power is determined by fitting glasses. Size of the frame - the larger the frame the more aberration (distortion) may be at the edges of the lens.

What frame fits on the lens?

Metal and plastic frames are equally suitable. In particular, active activities such as riding a motorcycle, running or playing ball require curved frames to protect the eyes from wind, insects, debris, etc.

How do you know if eyeglass lenses aren't right?

You can tell if lenses are not suitable by certain signs. It is important to understand that there is an adjustment period for any optics. Symptoms of improperly fitting glasses are as follows: headache; dizziness; a feeling of sand, increased tearfulness of the eyes; high fatigue of the organs of vision.

Why do my eyes hurt when wearing new glasses?

Eye muscles learn to compensate for changing visual demands. Because these muscles and focusing systems suddenly have to work differently, you may develop headaches, dizziness, or just a feeling that something is wrong with your eyes. (This also applies to contact lenses).

Which glass or plastic eyeglass lenses are better?

Glass makes it difficult to make a progressive or aspherical lens. Also, glass lenses do not fit rimless frames. Plastic lenses are twice as light as glass lenses, so glasses with them are more comfortable to wear for a long time, and plastic lenses are much less traumatic than glass lenses. Firstly, plastic itself is more resistant to breakage, and secondly, its splinters are not as sharp and dangerous.

Which lenses for glasses are more expensive?

The thinner and stronger the lenses, the more expensive they are. Lenses made of photochromic, polarizing or sunglasses are more expensive than colorless (clear) lenses. Lenses can be stock or prescription lenses. Stock lenses are cheaper - they are ready-made, in stock, and can be quickly fitted to eyeglasses.

The worst ever and messy. The first time I got my glasses they told me I gotta wait 6-8 weeks..it was pass 8 weeks I called they claimed there was a delay and they aren’t ready, then called me later on to tell me they’re ready. 2 days ago my glasses were stolen I called them yesterday spoke to them twice they asked for name and date of birth then they told me I can come in to get fitted for a replacement pair of glasses because they don’t sell my frame I used to have but will have to wait another 6-8 weeks for them. I asked them can I just get the prescription because I can’t wait that long, they told me yes but I have to come get it. I get there they tell me my prescription expired and have to get another eye exam. Wasted my time they could have told me that over the phone. Don’t go here save yourself the headache

Great glasses for a great price! It’s my first time wearing glasses and ai got my prescription only a few days before getting my glasses. I’ve got my glasses and I love them but I’m still getting used to them.

Had a really nice time here. Came mainly because it was the only place within walking distance that was also on the insurance list, but ended up meeting a very thorough and attentive optometrist in Dr Scranton and the salespeople in the front were easy to work with and no-pressure. I was pleasantly surprised and plan on making this spot my go-to for eye exams in the future.
