Frame fitting
A frame that fits your face, not just your prescription
A fitting is a conversation with an optician, a mirror and a lot of frames.
Janet starts by asking what you need the glasses for: all-day wear, driving, reading, a pair for the weekend. Then she narrows the shelves down to a handful that suit your face and work with your prescription.
Shapes and sizes that suit your face
Frames that work with a strong or a progressive prescription
Nose pads, temples and fit checked while you wear them
What happens
From first try-on to the pickup
- 01
Step 1: Tell us about your day
Where you wear your glasses, and what bothers you about your current pair. A few minutes.
- 02
Step 2: Try on
Janet brings a handful of frames to the mirror. Take photos on your phone, and take your time.

Step 3: Measure
We measure how your eyes sit in the frame, so the lenses are centered where you look through them.

Step 4: Pickup and adjustment
When your glasses are ready we adjust them while you wear them, and show you how to care for them.
