5 Reasons to Buy Your Glasses in a Clinic

The onset of online shopping is creating new, not so regulated markets including the optical sector. Shopping for eyewear online allows you to find products at a lower cost without having to travel, but at what cost? To help you make an informed decision, here are 5 good reasons to but your glasses at an OPTOPLUS eyecare clinic.

  Try on in-Person

While it may be convenient to try on different frames without having to resort to a photo or camera, the virtual trial has its limitations. Trying on glasses in a clinic gives you a chance to properly evaluate the frame: Are they too heavy? Too wide? Do the lenses cover my eyebrows, touch my cheeks when I smile or cut through my field of vision? Are the temples comfortable? Does the colour complement my skin tone? In short, there are several necessary factors to follow that can influence vision in addition to comfort! Your frames will be with you every day, so choose wisely!

 

  Quality

Purchasing glasses online may be less expensive, but the quality of the frames and lenses suffer; entry-level lenses, less resistant materials and fragile frames… on the other hand, the quality of what’s offered in clinic is guaranteed and meets a wide range of budgets and needs. This diversified selection, approved by optometry experts, gives you access to durable and comfortable styles that make use of the latest technologies to improve your visual well-being.

  Measurements

In optometry, accuracy is key! This is where the biggest disparity lies between buying glasses online and in a clinic. If measurements are not taken in a clinic, they can be imperfect and have a direct impact on your visual comfort, sometimes resulting in nausea, headaches or dizziness. An in-clinic service allows you to have your eyes examined and your focal height, interpupillary distance and other additional measurements calculated to the nearest millimetre ensuring your glasses fit your vision perfectly. 

 

  Return Policy

Any online shopping experience has its share of uncertainty and buying glasses online can be a risky business as exchanges and returns are often less advantageous online. In-clinic exchanges are easier, safer, quicker, more flexible and have no hidden fees.
