If you have a unique prescription, require progressive lenses, or have other special requests, a professional consultation is necessary to make sure that you will love your new eyeglasses.

One-on-one attention in house.

1. Embrace the present
   Your current prescription is analyzed and a copy is made for our reference.
2. Examine the past
   If available, your previous eyeglasses are assessed and discussed. This is very helpful for defining what kind of lens design you have been wearing. What did you like about them? What didn’t you like? This way we can eliminate the negative, and recreate or improve upon the positive.Any past prescriptions that you are able to provide us will help us define any patterns or abnormalities in your prescription history.
3. Define your expectations
   What do you want out of your lenses? Will they be for reading, driving, computer, or sports? Outdoor, indoor, or both? Do you need them to be light weight? Durable? Basic or elite lenses? Do you your lenses to be as thin as possible?
4. Design the vision
   Based on your expectations and your current prescription, we design a plan to achieve your best vision possible. This involves choosing the material, manufacturer, and design of lens best suited to your needs.
5. Take measure
   We measure your pupillary distance (the distance between your pupils); and for progressive lenses, your segment height (where your reading vision is going to change to distance vision). The accuracy of these measurements is imperative to creating optimal vision, as well as creating a base measurement for the size of your frames.
6. Create a file
   Once we’ve established your needs and wants, all of your information is kept on file. As we get to know you each time you purchase glasses from us, the process gets easier and the glasses only get better because we are continually building your trust and improving upon past experience.

1. Face shape & size
   Our goal is to help you choose a frame that maintains or creates a balanced effect on your appearance. We help make sure that the frames don’t squeeze your head, fall down your nose, touch your cheeks, or create any other undesired effects. We also take your pupillary distance into consideration to keep your lenses as thin as possible.
2. Fashion desires
   If you tell us a colour, shape, design, or brand name that you’re looking for, we’ll likely be able to pull several frames out of our extensive inventory that meet your desires. If we don’t have what you’re looking for in-store, we will do our best to help you find what you are looking for. The Perfect Fit!
3. Lightness
   Wearing your glasses all day can be uncomfortable if they are too heavy. We have a wide selection of ultra-light titanium rimless frames, which are almost weightless, as well as full frames that are made of ultra-light and ultra-thin titanium. We can also help you choose a size and shape of frame to get your lenses as thin and light as possible.
4. Comfort
   We help make sure that your frames don’t squeeze your head, fall down your nose, touch your cheeks, or create any other uncomfortable effects.
5. Quality expectations
   If you’re looking for a high quality frame, just let us know and we’ll guide you to the highest quality available, made with durable luxury materials and often hand made or hand finished in Japan, Italy or France. These frames are guaranteed to meet your expectations in fit, feel, make and longevity.
6. Flexibility requirements
   A number of our frames are made with flex hinges and flexible materials for extra durability and comfort. Conversely, we have lots of stable frames for those of you whose prescriptions require this quality in a frame.

Final Design:

When a lens design and frame are chosen, the consultation process is complete and a the blueprint to build your glasses is created!

Why it Works:

A lot goes into choosing the perfect frame and lenses, and it can be overwhelming without the right kind of support. You want to feel like you’ve made the right decision, which is why we get to know you through discussing your needs and making a plan.

We take these steps to make sure that your experience is stress-free and enjoyable. The trust that we create through our personal service is just one of the aspects that separates our company from others.

This process is designed with the intention of creating The “WOW!” Experience upon pickup.
