Here are simple steps to get the best eye exam and clearest glasses.

1. Ask the Right Questions

About the Exam:
- "What tests do you do in a full eye exam?"
- "Do you measure PD (pupil distance)?"
- "How long does the exam take?" (Avoid rushed exams under 20-30 mins.)

About Glasses:
- "Can you explain lens options (like Trivex)?"
- "Do you help adjust frames for a proper fit?"
- "What if my glasses don’t feel right? Do you fix them for free?"

2. Avoid Bad Optometrists

Red flags:
- Rushed exams
- Pushing expensive add-ons
- Won’t give your PD or prescription
- Staff don’t know lens types

3. Better Alternatives

A. See an Ophthalmologist
- They are eye doctors (not just optometrists).
- Ask: "Do you also prescribe glasses?"

B. Try a Local Optical Shop
- Small shops often give better service than chain stores.

C. Order Glasses Online
- Use your exact prescription (get PD from the doctor).

4. During the Exam

- Ask to double-check PD.
- Take your time on "1 or 2" choices.
- Mention specific problems (e.g., "Small text is blurry").

5. Tips for Clear Vision

✔ Get PD measured by the doctor.
✔ Choose Trivex or high-index lenses if needed.
✔ Return if glasses are still blurry—good doctors will fix it.

Quick Summary:
- Ask questions before booking.
- Avoid rushed exams.
- Try an ophthalmologist or local shop if needed.
- Be clear about your needs.
