Ask if the optician stocks your brand if you have a particular brand of frame that you are looking for. A strong or unusual prescription may have made it impossible for you to get the frames you wanted on previous visits. Remind yourself of what you wanted and ask your optician if there are any new materials that now allow you to get what you want. It’s in your best interest to know as much about your eye conditions and prescription as possible. Then you can join with your optician to make the best choices. Working With Your Optician First, bring the prescription from your optometrist or ophthalmologist. In most cases, the original, signed prescription is needed. An optician cannot fit you without the prescription. Don’t make it hard on your optician by asking him or her to prescribe. If you go to see an optician, get the most out of their recommendations. A good optician can help you find flattering frames. They can guide you through the many decisions you may face from frame material to lens material to lens coating. Relaxing and providing calm feedback during fitting sessions, whether for glasses or contacts, can result in the best vision and appearance possible. You may require time to adjust to your contacts or glasses. If you have problems within a few days, return for additional fittings. Ask the optician how you should handle the ordering process if you need to wait for glasses or contact lenses. When is the order scheduled to arrive? How will the optician contact you when it arrives? Ask how you can follow up with them if it does not arrive as planned. Ask whether you will come in to be fit when the order arrives, or whether it is something you can pick up or have delivered to your home without a fitting. Most glasses need a fitting to assure proper adjustment, and most first-time contact lens wearers are asked to come in for a fitting. After the first time, unless there are significant changes, you will probably not need another contact lens fitting.  <a href=https://www.diamondcertified.org/ target=_self>Use Diamond Certified Resource to find top rated companies.</a> Local, Top Rated Diamond Certified Practices Related to Your Topic <a href=https://www.diamondcertified.org/napa-opticians/ target=_self>Napa County Opticians</a> <a href=https://www.diamondcertified.org/alameda-opticians/ target=_self>Alameda County Opticians</a> <a href=https://www.diamondcertified.org/sonoma-opticians/ target=_self>Sonoma County Opticians</a> <a href=https://www.diamondcertified.org/san-francisco-opticians/ target=_self>San Francisco Opticians</a> <a href=https://www.diamondcertified.org/san-mateo-opticians/ target=_self>San Mateo County Opticians</a> Related Articles <a href=https://www.diamondcertified.org/Guide/Eye-Care/ target=_self>The Essential Guide to Eye Care Services</a> <a href=https://www.diamondcertified.org/find-expert-advice/ target=_self>Get Expert Advice From Owners of Top Rated Local Companies</a> <a href=https://www.diamondcertified.org/membership/ target=_self>Become a Diamond Certified Preferred Member (Always Free)</a>
