There is no denying that online shopping is flourishing these days, but it is still hard for some people to trust online shopping when buying something as delicate as glasses. Being in this industry for some time now, we- Visio Optical can offer you specifications about the things you must know. You should look for the below-mentioned points before trusting any optical shop. It is essential as not all online stores get created with a positive thought process and equality. Following are the things to check before you walk into the spectacles shop.
How a frame is made, and how long it lasts
The fact is that glasses are something you buy once in a blue moon. After all, you don’t want to buy a pair of glasses that breaks instantly and scratches perpetually. Look instead at how a frame is made: acetate cut from solid block and polished back rather than coated, titanium that holds an adjustment, hinges riveted or screwed rather than glued. Those details decide whether a frame is still worth wearing years later, and they are the hardest things to read from a photograph.
How wide a choice of frames should be
No one wishes to walk into a spectacles shop, only to find that there are only five to ten options while choosing the opticals or lense. Being a buyer, you would like to see numerous frame styles to choose from, including top designer brands you can trust. The best part about Visio Optical is this only. Visio Optical is an authorised dealer of Lindberg, and carries Masunaga, Matsuda, Lunor, ic! berlin, Lafont, Anne et Valentin and Coco Song — small independent houses with distinctive materials and shapes, chosen because they are beautiful and made well. Lenses come from makers including ZEISS and Hoya. And we can recommend the best lenses to fit your needs. If you need progressive lenses, phochromic or Transitions lenses, or blue light glasses, we have what you need.
Try & Buy
You should pick an optical shop that offers you the choice to try and then buy. After all, you will want to see what you look like before you pay for your glasses. At Visio Optical, you can see how different frames look on you, that too from different angles. Visio Optical is a store that will help you buy the perfect pair.
Now that you have the three most important points that one must keep in mind before selecting a spectacles shop, what are you waiting for? Without any further delay, shop from the best optical shop: Visio Optical.
What you cannot judge on a screen
Photographs are useful for inspiration. They show colour, shape and how a frame sits on somebody else’s face. What they cannot show is proportion: how wide the front really is against your own temples, where the top rim falls against the brow, how much weight the bridge carries and whether the temples run straight or press.
Frames are also built to different bridge profiles, and a frame that sits securely on one face rests on the cheeks of another. That is something settled with the frame on, in a mirror, not from a listing.
Visio Optical is an independent, fitting-led boutique optician in Holland Village, Singapore, and has been for nearly twenty years. Bespoke spectacles are cut from acetate and made by hand in-house, the only optical boutique in Singapore doing this, so a shape and a colour can be chosen rather than picked from a page. The frame collections are set out here, and there is more on why acetate behaves the way it does.
