Do you fit prescription lenses into the optical frames?
We currently do not fit prescriptive lenses into our optical frames. Once you have received your frame, go to your local Optometrist, bring your child along with the prescription so they will be able to fit the lenses in properly. It is important to bring your child along so they can measure the IPD or PD (pupillary distance) for accurate fitting of the lenses.

Many Optometrists will help you adjust your optical frames for you for free or for a small fee for their efforts. Bring your child with you when you go so they are able to fit the glasses on properly.
