Q. How often should I have my eyes checked?
A. This depends on your age and medical conditions. Generally, if you are under the age of 18 or over the age of 65, you should have your eyes checked every year. Between the ages of 19 and 64, every two years should be enough. If you have medical conditions, such as diabetes or a family history of glaucoma or macular degeneration, more frequent checks may be necessary.

A lot of people are nervous and skeptical about taking eye tests. We understand your concern. Therefore, to make you feel more comfortable, we want to list out a few things that you can expect when visiting our optical centre.
Eye Test
Your optician will conduct an eye test to determine your vision. We perform digital eye tests without the use of puffs or drops. Our eye tests are quick and easy. They are necessary to determine your visual perception abilities and find the best fitting glasses or lens.

After you are done with your eye test, your optician will recommend a few solutions for your problems. For vision-related issues, you can choose from our wide range of designer spectacles and contact lenses. Our staff will be happy to help you with suggestions for glasses that best suit your face.

We offer you a wide array of prescription glasses and designer sunglasses. We understand that every individual has unique needs. Therefore, we have over 800 brands of designer eyewear. You can choose the spectacles that best suit your face and personality from our huge collection.
Made
After you have decided upon your choice of eyewear, we take the necessary measurements so that your glasses fit you perfectly. We have dedicated staff to make your glasses. Your glasses may take a few days to get ready.

You can pick up your glasses after trying them on once they are ready. We would be happy to help you with fitting if there are any issues. You can visit us later also if you wish to get the fitting altered.
