Now Iris has chosen her frames, her lenses will be made to her exact prescription. Many
prescription lenses are stocked at the in-store lab, but more
specialist lenses like Iris’s are ordered in from our central
manufacturing laboratory by the store’s lab technician. When they
arrive, the lab technician checks that the power of the lenses is
correct, and that there are no imperfections. He then aligns the lenses
accurately. Using the glazing machine, the lab technician cuts them
into the precise shape to fit the frames that Iris has chosen. The
technician carefully fits the lenses into the frames and makes sure
they are secure. The lab technician gives the finished glasses one
more check to make sure everything is correct before giving them a
thorough clean and putting them in a case, ready for Iris to collect
them. This animation shows a typical in-store experience; details may vary depending on individual customer needs.
