While an optometrist determines your prescription, it’s the dispenser that turns it into

                                                                  the pair of spectacles that meets

  your needs. Your dispenser needs to have a sound grasp of optics and lenses and  

   yet fashion in eyewear too. Dispensers need to find out how you live your life and

   what your needs are, so they have to be an experts in people too. They also have to

   take accurate measurements, so it all adds up to a  demanding role.
   The dispenser has to help you decide which of the hundreds of lens designs and  

   materials, as well as which of the myriad of lens treatments and coatings, best    

   meet  your needs and budget.

   It’s why they often ask so many questions, as the more your dispenser knows 

   about our lifestyle, the more you’ll enjoy your finished spectacles.
