Why Your Eyeglasses Are Letting You Down.
A Guide to Choosing the Right Frames and Lenses
If you’ve been feeling disappointed by your eyewear, you’re not alone. Many people are settling for frames and lenses that simply aren’t up to the task, and the results are all too familiar: discomfort, poor construction, and a general lack of satisfaction.
But why have eyeglasses lost their value in our daily lives? Let’s explore the reasons and, more importantly, how we can fix that.
THE PROBLEM WITH TODAY’S EYEWEAR
Frames used to be crafted with care and attention to detail. Today, many eyeglasses are mass-produced, often poorly constructed, uncomfortable, and easily lost. Why? Because when we don’t value our glasses, we don’t treat them with the care they deserve.
Too many of us let our glasses live in their cases while we squint through life, simply because we don’t like the way they feel or look. It doesn’t have to be this way!
THE SOLUTION IN QUALITY FRAMES
At Out To See, we believe in bringing back the value of quality eyewear. Imagine glasses that are so comfortable you forget you’re wearing them, yet so stylish you’re always reminded they’re there. That’s the goal.
Ultralight titanium frames that flex without breaking.
Hinges that flex and give, with no screws to rust or loosen.
Frames that blend comfort, style, and durability perfectly.
Think about your cell phone. It’s an essential part of your daily life, and you wouldn’t hesitate to invest in a high-quality device. Now, think about your eyes. You use them every waking moment—making hundreds of thousands of eye movements to navigate the world. Don’t they deserve the same level of investment?
NOT ALL LENSES ARE CREATED EQUAL
The lenses in your glasses are just as important as the frames, but not all lenses are made to the same standards. From mechanically surfaced lenses to digital, there are four different tiers of lenses in the optical world.
At Out To See, we only offer premium and ultra-premium lenses (tiers 3 and 4) because we know how much of a difference they make in reducing peripheral distortion and providing a smoother transition between focal lengths. When it comes to your vision, you deserve the best.
WHY YOU SHOULDN’T LET INSURANCE COMPANIES DECIDE FOR YOU.
Insurance companies often dictate what kind of lenses and frames are available to you, pushing lower-quality options. But ask yourself: Would you trust your insurance company to pick your cell phone or laptop? Probably not.
When it comes to your glasses, the same logic applies. Why settle for less when it comes to something as crucial as your vision?
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (FAQs)
Here are some of the most common questions we get from our customers about eyewear:
How Do You Ensure Customers’ Glasses Fit Properly?
We take precise measurements, including pupillary distance (PD), ensuring that the lenses are centered perfectly for your vision. We also take the time to show you how the lenses are marked and adjusted to guarantee optimal performance and comfort.
Can I Put New Lenses Into Frames I Already Own?
Absolutely! If you have a pair of frames you love, even if they’re discontinued, bring them in. We can design custom lenses for you. And if your frames are hard to find, try eBay, and we’ll help you fit them with new lenses.
Do You Repair Glasses?
While we have 20 years of experience and the latest equipment, some glasses may be beyond repair. But don’t worry—our repair service is free, and we’ve had great success fixing a wide range of eyewear.
What Are the Different Types of Lens Coatings Available?
There are many options for lens coatings, from anti-glare to blue light filtering. We’ll guide you through the choices to find what’s right for your lifestyle and needs.
Do I Need Reading Glasses?
If you’re over 40 and noticing difficulty reading, it might be time for reading glasses. But don’t worry—we can help you determine exactly what you need and find the perfect pair to suit your eyes and style.
When Wouldn’t You Want Polarized Lenses?
While polarized lenses are great for reducing glare, pilots and those who frequently read digital screens might want to avoid them, as they can interfere with viewing certain electronic displays.
Does Everyone Need the Same Lens Material?
No. Depending on your prescription, lifestyle, and preferences, you might benefit from different materials, such as polycarbonate, high-index plastic, or Trivex. We’ll help you decide what’s best for you.
Why We Only Use Zeiss Labs
