Eyewear & lenses
Frames, lenses, and our own lab
We cut and fit lenses in our own laboratory rather than sending your prescription to another city, so most single-vision glasses are cut during the same visit.
| Lens type | What it does | Turnaround |
|---|---|---|
| Single vision | One focal distance — reading or distance. The most common lens we dispense. | Cut here on stock powers |
| Progressive | Distance, intermediate, and near in one lens with no visible line. Takes about a week to adapt to. | 3 – 5 working days |
| Bifocal | Two distinct zones with a visible line. Cheaper than progressives and quicker to get used to. | 2 – 3 working days |
| Photochromic | Darkens outdoors, clears indoors. One pair instead of two, useful in Butuan sun. | 3 – 5 working days |
| Anti-radiation / blue light | Filters part of the blue-violet band from screens and LED lighting. Worth it if you work at a monitor all day. | Added to any lens above |
| Multi-coat & anti-scratch | Reduces glare and reflections, and holds up far better to daily cleaning. | Added to any lens above |
Our laboratory
We cut your lenses ourselves
Most clinics in the region send your prescription away and quote you a week. We have the edger and the fabrication bench here, so if your lens is in stock we cut it during your visit and you walk out wearing them.
If a lens has to be ordered in, you are told a specific 3 to 10 working day range at the counter, and you get an SMS the moment your eyeglasses are ready. You are never expected to chase us.
- Cut during your visit for full-rim and half-rim frames when the lens is in stock.
- Every pair is checked before release against a written list: lens fit, rotation, surface condition, PD alignment, coating and lens type, and the progressive reading zone.
- Thirty patients a day, no more. The cap exists so the person examining your eyes is not rushed by the queue behind you.
- We follow up. An SMS at one week, three months, six months and a year, and any discomfort brings you back in.
After you collect
Care, adjustment, and warranty
Glasses loosen. Nose pads shift. A frame that fit perfectly in March will not in September. Bring them back whenever that happens.
- Free adjustments for as long as you wear them — as often as you need, whether you bought them here or not.
- A documented quality check before release — lens fit, rotation, surface condition, PD alignment, coating and lens type, and the progressive reading zone where it applies. Nothing leaves the clinic without passing it.
- A free recheck if the prescription does not feel right. Come back and we will look at it again.
- We check on you afterwards — an SMS at one week, three months, six months and a year. Any discomfort brings you back in.
- Cleaning — use the cloth and spray we give you, never your shirt. Shirts scratch coatings.
