Select an eyewear and vision examination provider based on your individual needs.
A vision examination is one part of basic vision care; selecting corrective eyewear, such as glasses and contact lenses, is another. Choosing an eye care professional should solely depend on the needs of the patient, but it’s often driven by ease of insurance billing and claims administration.
When looking for a vision care company, make sure the people helping you are well informed. Experience and knowledge are critical to selecting safe and comfortable eyewear or contact lenses. Several major retail chains have rigorous training requirements for opticians and affiliated optometrists.
Ophthalmologists are medical doctors concerned with the anatomy, physiology and diseases of the eye, while optometrists are health care providers trained to address vision problems and care. The latter are allowed to recommend additional care and vision correction—most people think of optometrists when they go for an eye examination. In many cases, optometrists also sell corrective eyewear and contact lenses. Opticians are generally sales professionals trained to design, select, fit and disperse corrective eyewear. Most optometric offices and major retail eyewear stores staff opticians as well.
Look for a professional eyewear dispenser that’s both knowledgeable about the industry and versed in its technological advancements. Also consider the level of ongoing customer service it offers after a purchase and its selection of popular, boutique or innovative brands.
