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.

1

Conversation before choosing

We ask where glasses should help most: screen, reading, driving, shift work, studying or all-day wear.

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
