Prescription Eyeglasses

Yes, as long as it is current and complete. Bring the written prescription with you, including the pupillary distance if it was measured, and we will confirm it covers what you want the glasses to do. If it is older than a couple of years or your vision has changed since it was written, we will suggest an exam first so the lenses are made from accurate numbers.

Most orders come back within one to two weeks, depending on the lens type and whether the frame is in stock. Simple single-vision lenses are usually quickest; progressives, specialty coatings, and unusual prescriptions take longer because the lab work is more involved. We give you a realistic estimate when you order and call you as soon as the glasses arrive.

We carry a wide range, from independent labels to well-known designer names, and there are options at several price points. Tell the optician what you would like to spend at the start and they will pull frames within that range rather than showing you something that does not fit the budget. Lens choices also affect the total, and we go through those separately.

Many patients find a dedicated pair useful — computer glasses for long screen days, prescription sunglasses for driving and time on the water, or a spare in the car. A second pair is not necessary for everyone, but if your day includes a specific demanding task, a lens set up for that distance often works better than asking one pair to do everything.

Most people adapt within a couple of weeks, and accurate measurements make a noticeable difference to how easy that is. Expect a short period of learning where to look for near and distance work. Wear them consistently during that time rather than switching back and forth, and come in if something still feels wrong after two weeks so we can check the fit.

Often yes, provided the frame is in good condition and can survive the lenses being removed and replaced. Bring it in and we will look at the material, the hinges, and any existing stress marks before advising. If we think the frame is likely to crack during glazing, we will say so up front rather than risking a frame you like.

Come back. New glasses can feel unfamiliar for a few days, but genuinely wrong is different from unfamiliar, and we would rather check them than have you stop wearing them. We will verify the lenses against the order, re-check the measurements and fit, and sort out whatever is off. If a remake is needed, we handle it.

Yes. Adjustments to a pair bought here are included for as long as you wear them, and you do not need an appointment. We also handle screws, nose pads, and temple tips, and can order replacement parts for most frames we sell. If a repair is beyond a bench fix, we will tell you what the realistic options are.
