Losing or damaging your glasses can be a frustrating experience, especially if you rely on them to see clearly. Fortunately, at Specialeyes eyecare, West London Optician, we can provide a quick solution to help you see straight away!
Here's a guide on how to get emergency spectacles made and when you might need them.
Emergency glasses may be necessary in various situations, including accidents, lost or stolen glasses, travel, or sudden prescription changes.
In any of these situations, we are here to help. It's important to make sure that you have a valid and up-to-date prescription so that we may help you obtain emergency glasses as quickly as possible. We are able to provide this service due to having our own in-house glazing lab and a large stock of lenses in store.
If you don’t have a valid prescription, don’t worry, as we may be able to see you on the same day for an eye examination. Once you have your prescription, you can choose a frame for your emergency glasses. At West London, Specialeyes eyecare opticians we have a large selection of fashionable frames available that can be used for emergency glasses. We will help you choose a frame that fits well and is comfortable to wear.
We will then use our specialised equipment to cut the lenses to fit the frame. The glazing process requires precision and careful attention to detail to ensure that the lens is properly aligned in the frame and that the prescription is accurate. Our experienced lab technicians will perform this task to ensure the best possible visual acuity and comfort for the wearer. The process involves shaping and polishing the lenses to fit the frame, which can take anywhere from a few minutes to a couple of hours.
Once your emergency glasses are ready, you can pick them up, and we will check the fit and make any necessary adjustments to ensure that the glasses are comfortable to wear and provide adequate vision correction.
Getting your emergency glasses made can be a quick and effective solution to help you see clearly in situations where you have lost or damaged your regular eyeglasses or contacts. With Specialeyes eyecare opticians in west London, you can obtain emergency glasses quickly and efficiently and ensure that you are able to see clearly in any situation.
Once you have selected the glasses that you would like to make, we place your glasses into a machine that traces the shape of the lens. We then pick out the lens from our stock according to the prescription of your glasses. We then position the centre off the lens in line with where your eye would sit when looking through the glasses. Once the lens is positioned it is then transferred to another machine where the excess parts of the lens is cut off. The lens is then carefully placed into your glasses and then verified.
Being longsighted is when light entering your eye focuses behind your retina. This means that you are able to see things further away clearer than things closer to you.
Normally the front of you I should be round like a sphere. If you have astigmatism, this means that the surface of your eye is not the same curvature across all angles. It is normally compared to the shape of a rugby ball where one side is flatter and the other side is steeper. This causes lights that enters your eye to focus in two places, causing distorted vision. This may cause your eyes to feel tired or you might get headaches.
