The University Optometric Center boasts a state of the art Ophthalmic Dispensing Service accessible to all its patients. We regularly fit glasses for infants, geriatric patients and everyone in between. Our mission is to provide the highest quality eyewear to all our patients, ensuring both visual and physical comfort. Being fitted for glasses and the process of selecting new frames requires an inherent knowledge of both frame and lens designs. Many factors must be taken into account, including but not limited to, cosmetics, the nature and strength of the prescription, available lens materials, the patient's lifestyle among others.
Special attention is paid to the construction and styling of frames to reduce chances of breakage.
You will be assisted in your frame and lens selection by an optometric intern working under the supervision of a staff optician. When you come to collect your finished glasses, we will professionally adjust them for your comfort. Instructions regarding the care, maintenance and usage will be reviewed with you at that time. The Dispensing Service does not work by scheduled appointment. We fill only those prescriptions written by a doctors for patients examined at the Center.
