Conversation before choosing
We ask where glasses should help most: screen, reading, driving, shift work, studying or all-day wear.
Service
Spectacle lens fitting step by step
The same prescription can need completely different lenses for a screen worker, a driver and someone who wears glasses all day. We fit lenses to your everyday life, not only to your prescription.
2
Measurements in the frame
We check pupil distance, fitting height, frame position and lens-to-eye distance. A NIKON measuring tower helps us achieve the highest precision.
3
A decision with explanation
We explain differences between variants so your choice is conscious, not based only on technology names.

What to know before your visit
See what the visit looks like, what is worth bringing and when it is better to start with an eye exam. We have gathered the key information in one place.
01
What happens during spectacle lens fitting
First we check your prescription, current glasses and what brings you in. It matters whether the image tires at the computer, the problem appears after dark, glasses slip, or you need one pair for many distances.
After determining the correction, we take precise fitting measurements, including with a NIKON measuring tower. On that basis we choose the lens design, material, thinning index and coatings. We also consider the chosen frame because its shape and position affect mounting and visual comfort.
- we check prescription, current glasses and visual habits
- we ask about work, screens, driving and reading
- we take fitting measurements in the chosen frame
- we discuss thickness, weight, aesthetics and budget
02
Why it matters
Fitting does not end with the prescription power
The same refractive error may require different solutions for someone working on two monitors, a driver or a first-time progressive wearer. We combine the exam result with everyday visual use.
If something in current glasses bothered you, we check the cause: power, lens design, fitting height, frame position, too narrow a field of view or a coating that does not match conditions.
- we analyse comfort in current glasses
- we fit lenses to specific distances
- we check whether the frame suits the selected lenses
- we explain when a premium option is worth it
03
How to prepare for the visit
Bring your current glasses and last prescription if you have one. Tell us when vision is least comfortable. For screen work, an approximate monitor distance is helpful. For driving, tell us whether the issue appears during the day, at dusk or at night.
If you choose frames on the same day, reserve a little more time. Measurements are taken in a specific frame, otherwise lens mounting cannot be planned properly.
- bring your last prescription or current glasses
- say when vision tires you most
- think about what the glasses are mainly for
- reserve time for frame choice and measurements

Spectacle lenses: how they work and how they differ
Spectacle lenses are the part of glasses that actually corrects vision. The frame holds them in front of the eyes, but the lens changes the path of light, focuses it on the retina and decides how comfortable seeing feels.

Progressive lenses: one pair for everything
Do you hold your phone farther away to read messages? Do you have two pairs of glasses and keep switching? Progressive lenses solve both problems: distance, computer and reading in one pair, with no visible lines.

Questions and answers
Frequently asked questions
What does spectacle lens fitting involve?
We check your prescription and current glasses, ask about work, screens, driving and reading, then take fitting measurements in the chosen frame. Based on that we choose the lens design, material, thinning index and coatings, and discuss thickness, weight, appearance and budget.
Why are measurements taken in a specific frame?
Because the frame's shape and position affect the fitting and visual comfort. We measure pupil distance, fitting height and the distance between lens and eye, using among others a NIKON measuring tower. Without the frame, the lens fitting cannot be planned properly.
What should I bring to a lens fitting?
Your latest prescription or current glasses. Also tell us when your vision tires you most. For screen work, the approximate distance from your eyes to the monitor helps, and if you are choosing a frame the same day, allow extra time.
My current glasses bother me. Is it the power?
Not necessarily. The cause may be the power, but also the lens design, fitting height, frame position, a too-narrow field of view or a coating that doesn't suit your conditions. During the fitting we check each of these.
