Frequently Asked Questions

Why are progressive lenses more expensive?

Progressive lenses are more complex than standard single-vision lenses because they provide multiple areas of vision, typically distance, intermediate and near, within one lens without a visible line. The more advanced lens designs, higher index materials, and newer technologies typically come with a higher price tag.

Can I reuse my old frames?

Sometimes. We can assess your existing frames to determine whether they are suitable for your new lenses. We always recommend getting a new pair which also comes with a warranty. Factors such as the frame age, condition, size, shape and the new prescription all need to be considered.

Can I get sunglasses with my prescription?

Yes. Prescription sunglasses can be made in a variety of lens designs and materials. They can provide clear vision while protecting your eyes from the harmful UV rays outdoors.

Why do my new glasses feel different?

It can take up to 4 weeks for your eyes and brain to adjust to a new prescription, especially if there has been a significant prescription change or you've switched to a different lens design, such as progressives. If your glasses continue to feel uncomfortable or your vision doesn't seem right, please contact us so we can assess the fit and prescription and rule out any ocular health causes for changes in vision.

I have Astigmatism, what is that?

Astigmatism is a common vision condition caused by an irregular shape of the eye's cornea or lens. Instead of light focusing evenly on one point on the retina, it may focus in multiple areas, causing blurry or distorted vision at both near and far distances. Astigmatism is very common and can usually be corrected with glasses or contact lenses.
