Frame selection is a lot more complicated than it may seem. Everybody will be able to find a frame that suites their tastes in terms of colour, style and design. This can be done without any professional guidance.
The complex part of frame selection will require guidance from our trained dispensers. Correct frame selection will involve ensuring the frame is the correct fit for the face and that the frame will in fact hold the lenses prescribed by the optometrist.
While some colours and designs may be attractive on the shelf, they may not be the best choice for a particular face. Our dispensers are experienced in selecting the best frame for our patients' tastes and needs.
We encourage our patients to consider that the average pair of spectacles are expected to last at least 2 years. It is wise to invest in a well made and designed frame that you will be wearing every day. A $700 set of spectacles will be costing you less than $1 per day - why would you spend any less?
Points to consider when selecting a frame:
- Required function
- Quality of manufacture
- Guarantee against faulty workmanship
- Comfort of the frame
- Availability of spare parts
