Seeing eyeglasses in a new light in San Diego

The Vision Council of America reports that about 75 percent of adults in this country need some level of vision correction. Fortunately, today’s optical consumer in the San Diego area has more choices than ever in eye glasses and contact lenses. Quality eyewear is an important investment in how you see and how you look. The optical team at Coastal Skin and Eye Institute is here to help.

Role of the optician

An optician prepares and dispenses eyeglasses. It may seem like a straightforward job, but integrity and dedication have a big impact on the outcome. The optician must be qualified to accurately fill the prescription of the optometrist or ophthalmologist. In addition, a good optician works closely with the patient to assist in:

• Selecting attractive frames.
• Understanding lens options, such as anti-glare coatings and scratch resistant materials.
• Determining pupil distance.
• Adapting the final product for comfortable fit.
• Making minor repairs.
