The convenience and price of buying your next pair of glasses or contacts online could be an attractive offer, however, be aware of the
problems that you could encounter while selecting the proper frames and lens combination or contact lenses.
- Each and every pair of glasses is a custom-made item complimenting your face shape and your skin tone.
- With the many different designs and materials of frames including plastic, metal, stainless steel, flexon, titanium, aluminum, wood, gold, and silver,
choosing the best one to fit your lifestyle could be difficult. To make the process even more complex, many sites list frames by
style number only, intentionally omitting details and color choices.
- Many varieties of lens designs and materials have been developed. They include glass, photochromic, CR-39 plastic, polarized, polycarbonate,
high-index, ultraviolet coating, anti-reflective coating, and tint to name a few. Again, because you have to make each decision on your own,
it can seem very overwhelming.
- To attempt to determine your Pupillary Distance Measurement on your own could be a challenging task. PD is the distance between the pupils in millimeters
which is important as it helps the laboratory technician to accurately create your eyeglasses by lining up your pupil with the center of the lens.
Precise measurements of the head and eyes will ensure proper fit to prevent pain, slippage, pinching, discomfort, and eyestrain.
- Because of the many choices available, purchasing your contacts online could prove to be counterproductive. Choices could include
disposable, daily wear, one day single use, continuous wear, extended wear, soft, rigid gas permeable, toric, multifocal, color, spherical
lenses, bifocal lenses, etc.
- Many online vendors will attempt to substitute your brand preference or modify your fit without your doctor's consent.
- Other disadvantages might include limited lens power choices or a product that best suits your needs being out of stock or being discontinued.
Another equally frustrating occurrence is the extended length of waiting time to receive your glasses.
- Overall, accuracy and quality are often traded for volume ultimately sacrificing customer satisfaction.
