When purchasing glasses, clear or sunglasses, there are five key factors we search for:
– Fit
– Comfort
– Style
– Durability
– Price
Fit and Comfort: The frame needs to feel comfortable behind your ears, across your nose, and have enough width to accommodate / complement your face.
Look: Everyone has their own preference in style. Prescription glasses and sunglasses are not only necessary, but they can be used to accessorize your outfit. You want to like how you look and feel in them. This way, it’ll be easier to wear and you’ll find yourself WANTING to put them on.
Durability: Depending on the type of activities you’ll be doing when using your glasses, you want to ensure that the frame is appropriately durable to decrease any possible damage to the glasses. For example, if you require glasses when doing sports such as Golfing, Biking, and Hiking, you may want to go with a brand that’s known for outdoor and sport use such as Maui Jim, Oakley, Nike, and Flexon.
Price: If eligible, your vision plan most likely has an allowance toward glasses and contact lenses. We are able to utilize that allowance toward your overall purchase giving you the best coverage possible. If you do not have a vision plan or optical allowance, there are many affordable options for you that can be further discussed in office. Have questions about your benefits? You’re welcome to call us anytime or just stop by- we’re here to help
