Background Determining the best eyeglass prescription is only half the challenge that optometrists face, since glasses will not function optimally unless the prescription is correctly filled. Functionality can be severely impacted if the patient selects an incorrect frame shape or lens material, or if the glasses are improperly adjusted.
