Accurate measurements come from experience and confidence which is why we only employee fully qualified Dispensing Opticians to help guide you through your frame and lens choice.
The qualification for a Dispensing Optician is a three year diploma; ensuring the person choosing eyewear with you has a good medical understanding of your prescription and how that will translate into the right lens choice for you.
After assessing your prescription and helping you choose a suitable frame from the many in-store, your Dispensing Optician will take a few facial measurements to achieve optimum vision through the new lenses.
Both practices also feature a handy bit of equiptment called the ‘Relaxed Vision Terminal’ or ‘RVT for short. This is great for bespoke lenses as it takes a still image of you wearing the frame thensends a series of measurementsto the lab to be tailored like you would a great suit!
