If you are in Australia, then as per Australian Opticians Act, it is the obligation of any optician to provide you with a prescription. The optician will provide you with a thorough eye examination, and is required by law to provide you with a copy of your prescription for your own records. You are not under any obligation to purchase your glasses from your optician - so do not feel pressured into doing so!

Whether you choose to purchase your prescription online or from one of our preferred optical retail partner stores, you'll find the same pricing. Our commitment is to maintain a consistent service standard offering with what we believe to be "best in class" products.

Compared to lined bifocal lenses—which requires much adjustment from your eyes to see clearly—progressive lenses’ seamless transition from distance correction on top to reading correction on bottom provide much sharper overall vision.
