| How it work ? |
|
| - How ordering on line works: |
|
| The first step is to have a copy of your prescription from the optometrist. Once you have this you are able to
work your way through the easy steps in ordering your glasses. |
| - Prescription: |
|
| Every 2 years an individual is entitled to claim an eye examination through the Medicare scheme. Just make
an appointment with your local optometrist and ask for a legible copy of the prescription including the PD
(pupil distance measurement). Alternatively, if you have had an eye examination within the 2 year period,
that prescription is still current, and you may also ask for a copy along with the PD. By law the optometrist
must provide you with a copy if requested. |

| - Lens types: |
|
The type of lens will depend on the use you have for your glasses, whether it be for reading or distance,
usually a single vision lens will be used. However, if you require a lens that caters for both reading and
distance, then a bifocal or progressive (multifocal) lens may be used. You may already be aware of the type
of lens you require or you are able to ask the optometrist for their opinion.
You will note on the order form, there are a number of different types of lens available, such as standard
hard coated lenses, standard anti-reflection coated lenses, high index lenses ( reduces the thickness of high
prescriptions), a transition lens (the lens darkens with sunlight), prescription tinted lenses with UV protection
for sun use, and polarized prescription lenses. Just select the lens according to your personal needs. |
