If you’ve never heard of an Optical Dispenser, you’re not alone! Simply put, we’re the people trained to measure, fit, and ensure your glasses work perfectly for you.
In fact, Optical Dispensers are highly skilled professionals with qualifications like a Certificate IV in Optical Dispensing. Additionally, most of us gain hands-on experience in optical practices, much like an apprenticeship. So, think of us as the behind-the-scenes specialists who take care of every detail to ensure your eyewear not only looks great but also fits comfortably.
What does an Optical Dispenser do?
We do much more than you might realize! Let’s break it down:
We Help You Pick Frames That Fit Your Face and Vision Needs
Sure, you want your glasses to look amazing—but they also need to feel great. That’s why we guide you in choosing frames that match your style, fit your face, and stay securely in place.
We Match Lenses to Your Frames and Prescription
Not all lenses are the same. To ensure you get clear vision and comfort, we recommend the best lens material and design for your prescription. Then, we carefully pair them with your chosen frame to prevent issues like slipping, pressure points, or distortion.
We Cut and Shape Lenses to Fit Your Frames
Ever wondered how lenses perfectly fit into your frames? That’s our job! Using a process called “edging,” we cut and shape your lenses in-store for faster delivery. It’s a precise, hands-on task that ensures a flawless fit.
We Adjust and Fine-Tune Frames for Maximum Comfort
When you get new glasses, we make sure they fit like a custom suit. From adjusting the nose pads to tweaking the arms behind your ears, we handle it all. Poorly adjusted frames don’t just feel uncomfortable—they can even affect your vision. That’s why we take this step seriously and get it right every time.
At every step, we focus on making sure your glasses look great, fit comfortably, and improve your vision seamlessly!
Should I see an Optical Dispenser?
Yes, Optical Dispensers work as a team with Optometrists. A qualified Optical Dispenser ensures your eyewear:
- Helps you see your best.
- Fits perfectly and feels comfortable.
- Looks stylish and complements your personality.
- Lasts longer with fewer issues down the road.
How can I tell if someone’s a qualified Optical Dispenser?
