1.How long does it take for glasses to be delivered?

Most spectacles are made available within an hour (for lenses, which are ready). If the power has to be surfaced onto the lenses it can take from 3 hours (plastic) to one day (glass). Special lenses are made available within a week. Readymade reading and photosensitive spectacles are also stocked. We have an average same-day delivery ratio of 80%.

2.How much does the frame cost?

It depends on the type of the material like plastic or titanium.

3.How much does the lens cost?

Lenses also vary with the type of the material and it also depends on the customized grinding that is required to fit to the frame.

4.How do I clean my glasses?

Warm water and lens cleaner are the best to clean lenses and frames. Lenses should be dried with a soft cloth rather than any paper product.

5. I use computers constantly. What lenses should I use?

To protect your eyes from the glare of the screen you may opt for anti-reflection glasses, which come with UV protection also. If you are a bi-focal wearer you can try for progressive lenses, which allow better intermediate-distance vision and you can focus on the screen, keyboard and books with equal ease.

6. What are ARC (anti-reflection) / plastic / hi-index lenses?

These lenses reduce glare and increase transmission of light. They are advantageous for night driving and for computer-users. They are available with both glass and plastic lenses.

7. What is the difference on the types of lens materials?

While glass is cheaper it is prone to break and is also heavy. Plastic, being lighter, offers an advantage. It is impact resistant and it is recommended for children, people with active lifestyle and having high power. For those who have to wear glasses constantly, plastic lenses are advisable.

8. How often should I get my refraction done?

It is advisable that you get your eyes examined every 6 months (for children), or every year (adults).

9. What are Transition lenses?

Transitions lenses darken in sunlight and lighten in doors.

10. In what colors are Transitions available?

Transitions are available in gray and brown.

11. If I get headaches frequently do I need to change my glasses?

Check the refraction first and let the doctor decide on the change of glasses.

12. How do bifocals and trifocals work?

The top portion of a segmented lens is normally used for distance vision, the bottom for near vision. When you look straight ahead, you will be using the distance portion of the lens; when you look down to read, the lens will bring the near vision segment into the line of sight.

13. Why do we need sunglasses?

Sunglasses can help your eyes in two important ways. They enhance the normal light-filtering capabilities of your eyes and they protect against the sun's damaging ultraviolet rays. Good sunglasses will reduce glare, filter out 99 to 100 percent of ultraviolet (UV) rays, provide visual protection, be comfortable, and not distort colors.

14. What are polarized sun lenses?

On a daily basis we encounter glare from light bouncing off flat surfaces like water, snow or the pavement. This glare interferes with our vision and fatigues our eyes. Polarized lenses provide glare free vision, which is critical for driving, fishing, golfing, boating and skiing.

15. Is there a lens available for farsighted people that don't magnify the eye?

There are now lenses called Aspheric lenses that don't magnify the eye as much as previous lenses did. They look really good and have less distortion.

16. What are prisms? How do they work?

Prisms bend light and separate white light into its component colors. In vision correction, we like the light bending but don't want the color separation aspects of prism. How do prisms work? It's complicated, but if you think of a prism as being a triangle pointing upwards, light goes in one side, bends down toward the base, and comes out the other side going in a different direction. Of course, in glasses and contact lenses this is much more sophisticated and doesn't really look like a triangle, but the effect is the same. Prisms are used in lenses to help keep the eyes working together and aligned. They can make the difference between glasses that are OK and glasses that are excellent.
