Candidates for Contact Lenses and Eyeglasses
As soon as we have finished a thorough eye exam, we will talk about whether contact lenses or eyeglasses are the most effective treatment for your vision impairment. For some people, contacts are the easiest option to achieve their best vision. Beyond ease of use, contact lens capabilities have made many recent improvements. Several of the most frequently requested types of lenses we provide include daily wear, one-day wear, multifocal, and astigmatism contact lenses. Furthermore, current contacts feel better now than ever, with 9 out of every 10 contact lens users feeling zero discomfort.
For patients who may be hesitant to try to put in contacts or who have specific eye conditions, prescription glasses are also an easy choice. As with contact lenses, eyeglasses have undergone remarkable advancements over the years and can offer many benefits.
Eyeglasses are usually more budget-friendly than contacts, less challenging to store when not in use, and not as fragile. In addition, glasses screen the eyes from many external elements and do not aggravate dry or itchy eyes like contacts can. However, most patients choose to use a combination of both types of prescription lenses for different situations.
Contact Lenses and Eyeglasses Reviews
Staff is very knowledgeable and able to help you find glasses that look good on your shape of face. They are fun to work with and have a large selection of fashionable frames. They know and understand their stock.
Been working with SPEX for many years-- have tried other places but come back for excellent service and great people-- + best glasses frames in Seattle!
I visited Spex to see if they could help fix the frames of a couple pairs of glasses. Even though I didn’t purchase these from Spex, they were very welcoming and willing to help. One of the pairs had an arm that kept falling off. Since I didn’t buy them there, they didn’t have the materials they needed to fix it. But instead of saying no, they went out of their way to solve the problem, using spare materials for their own frames, even though they were not designed the same, and she was able to fix the arm back on. Most of all, I was surprised in the end that they didn’t charge me a single cent! Only thing to note: they are no longer on Stewart. Their new address is not on Google maps but it’s on their website. They’re in the medical dental building.
Spex were a huge help to me! I was on a trip from out of town for Labor Day and forgot my contact lenses. Spex gave me a complementary pair with my exact prescription and the staff were amazingly friendly. Highly recommended!
Excellent customer service. I was in town on business and needed an emergency repair on glasses. They were able to see me for the quick repair without an appointment and were able to quickly solve the problem.
