Eyewear Adjustments

At Wink Optical, we pride ourselves on carrying independent frame lines because we believe in offering you something unique and special.  Independent brands focus on quality craftsmanship, unique designs, and superior materials.  When you choose an independent frame, you’re not just buying glasses; you’re supporting artistry, innovation, and small businesses, like ours. It also means that you will find styles at Wink that you won’t see everywhere else.

Choosing eyewear and getting properly fitted for glasses by an optician is important for several reasons.  Not only do we want you to love your new style, we also want your glasses to be comfortable to wear – visually and physically. Here are some key reasons a trained optician is important:

1. Optimal Vision Correction

• If your glasses are improperly fitted, the prescription may not be aligned with your line of sight. This can lead to blurred vision, headaches, or eye strain, even if you have the right prescription.
• An optician ensures the lenses are positioned correctly in relation to your eyes, which helps you see as clearly and comfortably as possible.

2. Comfort and Proper Fit

• Glasses that are too tight or too loose can be uncomfortable to wear, leading to pressure points on your nose, behind your ears, or on the temples.
• A good fit ensures that your glasses sit comfortably on your face, reducing discomfort and preventing issues like sliding down your nose or pinching your skin.

3. Accurate Pupillary Distance (PD)

• The PD is the distance between the centers of your pupils, and it’s crucial for positioning the lenses properly.
• If the PD is measured incorrectly, you might experience blurry vision or eye fatigue because the lenses won’t be aligned with your eyes.

4. Posture

• Poorly fitted glasses can cause you to adjust your posture, leading to neck, back, or shoulder pain. Constantly straining your eyes to look through the lenses may also contribute to eye strain or headaches.
• A proper fitting ensures that the glasses sit in the right place, preventing these physical discomforts.

5. Aesthetics

• The right frame size and shape can enhance your appearance, while the wrong fit might make your glasses look out of place or unflattering.
• An optician can guide you in choosing a style that fits your face shape, lifestyle, and personal preferences.

Ultimately, having an optician fit your glasses means you’re getting the best visual experience and comfort. It’s a small step that can make a big difference in how you see and feel.  Let our expert opticians fit you with your next SPECTACULAR frames!
