A clearer guide to understanding vision, opticians and glasses
At Glasses Direct we want to help you find great glasses for less, that's why we want this guide to be a support to help you make informed choices when you'll next need a new eye test and when it comes to shopping for glasses.
Glasses stand apart from the rest of our wardrobe because they are designed to help us see first, but are also a fashion accessory. So it's very important to find the perfect pair to suit our needs, but choosing glasses definitely doesn't have to be a bore.
This guide aims to give you information on:
Optometrists are responsible for the health of your eyes, while a dispensing optician is the person who gives you your glasses or lenses. Our research has shown that people place a lot of trust in their optician and rely on them not just for eye tests, but for everything to do with their eyes, including what glasses and lenses they choose. While it’s important to trust a medical expert with your eye health, you can play a much bigger part in choosing the best glasses for you. It’s your look after all!
We want this guide to help you make clear, informed choices when it comes to shopping for glasses, just as you would for shoes or clothes. We also hope that we can save you some money in the process.
Have fun shopping!
