What to consider…
Spectacles for men, women and children are recommended based on the design of the frame and the individual’s facial features and contours, as well as this the patient’s personality, occupation and intended use.
For example the aviator (or “pilot”) frame design features a teardrop shaped lens and was originally created as a sleek and light alternative to traditional designs.
Other considerations when choosing a glass frame include:
- The weight of the frame, with standard, light and ultralight options.
- The material that the frames are made from – metal, plastic, titanium or mixed.
- The bridge width of the frames and type, including comfort fit, saddle bridge, keyhole bridge and adjustable nose pad.
- The colour and frame finish.
- The hinges on the frame, from standard / barrel hinges, spring hinges to no hinge frames.
Other frame shapes include:
- Browline.
- Cat Eye.
- Oval.
- Rectangle.
- Round.
- Squared.
- Wrapped.
Journey To A Clearer Future
Why Fiona Watts?
We only employ qualified Dispensing Opticians to help you choose the best frame that is fashionable and suitable for your prescription. With no time restrictions, your options, variety of lenses and coatings available will be explained. The Dispensing Optician will take accurate facial measurements, making sure the central optic zone of the lenses coincides with the centre of your pupil, vital for optimal vision.
If you need a bit of help in deciding, our optical team are always present and happy to give you their honest opinion. We can also take photographs with you wearing the frames, so you can see for yourself or show a friend!
We supply all lenses and spectacle frames in Wimbledon from all manufactures. Not being restricted to one manufacture allows us to give you the best lenses and optimal vision for both your lifestyle and frame suitability, achieving an optimal end result.
Our all in one optical measuring device, ‘Visioffice’ provides precise fitting measurements for individualised lenses. From this state of the art process, progressive lenses and frames are customised to suit each patient. The results are lenses with greater visual acuity and accuracy.
On collecting your spectacles, one of our dispensing team members will custom fit your spectacles, making any adjustments if necessary as well as checking your vision. You will also be advised on how to care for your new purchase.
Wearing spectacles has now become a fashion icon. Whether you want to make a statement or want a subtle look, we will find you the perfect frame.
How often and when should you change your spectacle frames in Wimbledon?
This is actually a personal choice, but you should seek the opinion of your Optometrist and their recommendations. Our experienced Optometrists and Dispensing Opticians will be able to see if your current prescription requires any adjustments, even if you feel that they are perfect.
Indicators to look for in deciding if you require new spectacles or lenses are:
- A change in your prescription following your yearly eye examination.
- Wear and tear on your existing frames and lenses.
- New technologies.
- If your current frames are out-dated or not fashionable.
Spectacles frames are a personal choice and it is important that you feel comfortable when you wear them.
Bespoke Frame Design
We offer a bespoke frame design service for those patients that desire to have something different. Bespoke design takes into account a person’s natural features, fitting perfectly to your nose, head shape, and ears providing unparalleled comfort. It is also very useful for those patients who have high prescriptions, where a frame depth can be increased to hide the edge thickness of the lenses.
Your bespoke frame can also be personalised with a name or make it a perfect gift for a loved one!
Reading Glasses for all ages.
We naturally lose elasticity in the eye as we get older which makes reading difficult. This condition is known as presbyopia. Some signs and symptoms of presbyopia are squinting, moving reading material further away, headaches when trying to read and difficulty reading in low light conditions.
Types of Reading Glasses:
- Single vision readers.
- Bi-focal readers.
- Computer readers.
- Reading sunglasses.
- Folding reading glasses.
As many reading spectacles are available on the market, it is important one chooses the right strength as prescribed by the Optometrist and correctly measured by a Dispensing Optician. Wearing an incorrect prescription for reading spectacles can give rise to symptoms such as dizziness, discomfort, headaches or nausea.
