So, you’ve had your eye test and now have a new prescription
in your hand. The next bit is the fun part where you get to choose your new
frames.
The question is; do you stick with the same sort of design
as you’ve already got, or do you try something new? If these are your first
glasses you might be wondering where on earth to start in order to narrow down
your options.
Clearly the look of the frames is going to be the dominant
factor, but there are also a few considerations that you might want to be aware
of, so that you can ensure that you pick the best frames. This is where our Optical Assistants at Specsdirect2u come in - to
help you.
Let’s start with the important bit; how the frames will look
on you. This is a particularly important factor for anyone who is short-sighted
as you will have to wear your glasses most of the time. The question is how do you know which ones to
choose?
If you come to Specsdirect2u, you can easily browse through
a huge range of styles. You can try on any number of frames to see what they
look like, whether they are the latest Tom Ford designer frames or our vast
collection of budget frames. Going into
one of our Optical Practices is ideal if you live in Glasgow, but remember you
can order your frames online, and if they don’t suit, you can return them.
The Specsdirect2u website offers great discounts, but we are
also available to speak to you, if you have any questions before processing
your online purchase. Our goal is to
ensure that you feel you are receiving the best possible customer service, and
making a cost saving at the same time. The website shows designers by brand, so if
you are specifically looking for a set of frames from Gucci, Prada, Ray Ban or
Police, you can go straight to the range that you want. We also have a search facility to show frames
within a specific price range.
So, what else is there to think about? Well, another very important fact can be the
thickness of the actual lenses. At
Specsdirect2u, we advise you how thick your lenses will be at the edge; this
ensures that you can get an idea of what your glasses will look like from the
side. More importantly you don’t want to
spend money on glasses and then be disappointed because the lenses are too
thick, whereas if you had spent a little more money they would look and feel
better.
It is also worth being aware of the pantoscopic tilt of
frames. You may well be wondering what on earth that is; it is the slope angle from
the top of the lens in towards the face. The higher your prescription, the
greater the effect of this angle. If you
feel like something just isn’t quite right then it is likely that this angle is
slightly off from the ideal angle for your face. This is where Specsdirect2u
can offer more than other online suppliers because all of the glasses that you
buy online from us are made by qualified Optical Technicians.
