Fitting

Providing you stylish eyewear which fits

According to studies by Vision Council of America, most women are more interested in the way a frame looks, while most men are more interested in comfort and fit. But if the frame does not fit well or is not comfortable, you will not want to wear it, and you will not get your money's worth. This is where an experienced optician like Lauder & Rees can be very helpful.
For example:

• If a frame looks great, but it slides off your nose.
  We can fix this during the final fitting, by adjusting the temple length or the way the temple tips wrap around your ears.
  
  
• If the front is too wide and doesn't fit your face.
  We could order the frame in another size, or if it does not come in another size, could find you a frame that is very similar but a different brand. Some manufacturers have released petite collections with frames that fit smaller faces.
  
  
• If the nose pads are not comfortable.
  We can screw in replacement pads or can find a similar style of frame with better pads.

Providing you Durable Eyewear

Durability is a factor that men seem more interested in than women are, but really, you do not want to buy a frame that falls apart after a few months. We are expert on durability because we see which frames that customers are bringing back for repair, and which ones elicit few or no complaints.

Men who want eyewear that are more durable than usual should consider frames made from titanium, stainless steel and flexible materials. Titanium and stainless steel are stronger and more durable than other metal frame materials, and Flexon, a titanium-based alloy, will go back into its original shape even if you twist, bend or crush it.

Eyewear is Essential an Accessory to your Style

We women do not hesitate to buy more than one pair of shoes, so why do many of us balk at buying more than one pair of eyeglasses?

Eyewear frames usually last a long time. Your prescription is not going to change every year, and you are likely hold onto those frames for a long while. Do you wear the same shoes or earrings every single day for years? Probably not, so why wear the same frame every day?

Eyewear is not just a medical device; it is also a fashion accessory. Some ladies think gold frames go with everything, and that might be true for them. But is it true for you? You might be more interested in a coppery metal frame for when you are wearing jeans, a tortoise plastic frame for the office, and a pretty rhinestone-studded silver frame for an evening out.
