This is done in our own Laboratory
on the Premises, - where we grind
all of our own lenses.
We guarantee our lenses to be
absolutely correct,. scientifically and
mechanically.
Fitting and Adjusting.
The glasses must be made up in
frames or mountings that will be
suited to each individual case. The
appearance of the glasses, . when
worn, must be considered. We
provide mountings to harmonize
with the features and give hand
some and stylish effects.
SpectaftJes.
We prescribe toric glasses when
their use adds comfort.
When the eyes require different
lenses for ner and distant visior,,
we supply bifocals w$th an Invisible
dividing line, so that only a single
rair of glasses is needed.
We have all kinds of specialties
in frames and nose pieces, shell
frames, special designs and shapes
to suit rftid fit all requirements.
