Why You Should Get Your Glasses At The Same Place You Get Your Exam


WHY YOU SHOULD AVOID BUYING GLASSES ONLINE

Some major drawbacks to buying glasses online include the following:

  1. You don’t get to try on the glasses in person

  2. You don’t have in-person help from a knowledgeable optician

  3. It’s difficult to accurately take the measurements you need for properly fitted glasses

  4. A large proportion of glasses ordered online come with incorrect prescriptions or other problems

  5. Incorrect prescriptions can distort your vision, leading to eye strain, headaches, and other eye irritations

  6. Returning glasses can be difficult

  7. Insurance can be complicated when online shopping

  8. If you have unique prescription needs, like progressive lenses, your fit can’t be left to chance


There’s nothing worse than settling for a pair of glasses you don’t love out of convenience. For a streamlined buying experience, shopping in-office for frames and lenses helps you find glasses you’ll want to wear.


When it comes to buying eyeglasses, it’s important to look at the bigger picture. While bigger box stores may seem more convenient, they often aren’t—quantity doesn’t always mean quality!
