When selecting new glasses, the optician will review your prescription, ask about your visual needs (computer use, driving, reading), and recommend lens types and coatings. They will help you try on frames and suggest styles that fit your face shape and size. Measurements are taken for lens placement. The glasses are typically ready in one to two weeks. At pickup, the optician verifies the prescription accuracy and adjusts the frames to fit comfortably. Contact lens fittings involve the optician teaching insertion and removal and verifying the fit based on the prescribing doctor's parameters.
