Letra : Glasses: How to make a good purchase
Glasses should suit your vision, but how do you get the best price? And how do you complain if you are dissatisfied? Get good advice before, during and after the purchase. If you want to buy glasses online, you can skip some of the steps below, but buying conventionally and buying online are basically the same.
Glasses often cost many thousands of kroner, because the optician has to manufacture the glass specifically for your vision and for the spectacle frame that you want. Become wiser about how to get the best and cheapest through the purchase of new glasses at the optician.
Free vision test
Free vision test offers are widespread and you are not required to buy your new glasses in the same eyewear store where you get a free vision test. You can take vision tests in several places to see if the eyewear stores reach the same result.
Answer the optician honestly
During the vision test, do not hesitate to admit when you have difficulty reading the fine print on the light box. If you answer the optician honestly, you also get the best glasses with the right strength.
Check that the glass and frame fit together
Frame and glass do not always fit together. If you need special glasses, it may mean that you cannot choose all frames. Therefore, pay attention to whether you can combine frame and glass.
Buy only what you came for
Opticians often tempt with discounts when buying more glasses, extra frames, sunglasses and thin glasses. Consider whether you need more than you originally came to buy.
Take advantage of offers, promotions and discounts
The price of glasses is not necessarily completely fixed. Opticians often run campaigns and they can have multiple offers at the same time. You can combine the discounts as long as you are not specifically made aware that you cannot combine the offers. The glasses can also be on offer shortly after you have ordered them. The stores are not obliged to tell you about upcoming offers, but you can ask them anyway. Special offers can make your new glasses cheaper. Find out if you have access to special offers.
Get a quote in writing in several places
The glasses stores' discounts are differently composed, so visit more stores and get more offers in writing to take home, so you can compare prices. Get the total price of the offer and remember to negotiate once you have found out what you want to buy. The majority of those who sell get a better price or more service/warranty.
Check the receipt
Remember to get a receipt or confirmation of your purchase when you buy your glasses. Then you avoid misunderstandings and are sure to get the correct glasses manufactured and delivered. The glasses are purchased once you have ordered them. Although it takes 14 days before you receive the glasses, the purchase is valid from the order date. The purchase in the store is binding, so the eyewear store is not obliged to let the deal go back if you regret it.
After you have received the glasses
Get the glasses adjusted
The glasses must fit well. If they do not sit as they should, they can either slide down the nose or sit too tight and irritate in everyday life. As part of the purchase, most opticians adjust your glasses for free within minutes.
Give your eyes time
The eyes must have time to get used to new glasses and/or new strength. It is perfectly normal for it to take a few weeks.
If you want to complain about the glasses
Complain to the optician about your glasses
Discomfort such as headaches or fatigue should not accompany your new glasses. Visit the store and complain about the glasses if your new glasses bother you. The store must remedy deficiencies within a "reasonable time" - usually 14 days. For example, the optician may offer you other glasses or perform a new vision test.
