Today, you can purchase almost anything online — from food and clothes to furniture and automobiles. Although most goods are only a few keyboard clicks away, the team at Cook Inlet Eyewear knows you’ll be much happier with your glasses if you visit a store instead. Their knowledge comes from more than 20 years of experience providing people throughout Anchorage, AK, with an extensive array of eyewear options.

Below, the staff at Anchorage’s leading optical shop shares three reasons why glasses are one of those purchases better left for the in-store experience.

Why Buy Glasses In-Store?

1. More Accurate Prescription

Most online retailers don’t have qualified professionals to accurately fill out your lens prescription. If you go the internet route, you’re basically taking a huge risk that the new spectacles will suit your vision needs. Stores, on the other hand, have opticians onsite. These individuals have the skills and training to make sure your new lenses will correct your vision, not make it worse.  

2. Better Communication

Anchorage-Alaska-Glasses The optician crafting your glasses might need to consult with your optometrist to make sure the prescription is accurate. This is a much easier process if you purchase glasses in-store. If you buy them online, no one is going to call your eye doctor with any follow-up questions.

3. Customer Satisfaction

You might see a pair of glasses on a website that looks great on the model, but how will they look on you? What if they pinch your nose? Cause tension behind the ears? You won’t know the answers until your package arrives in the mail. Heading to the store for your new set of frames removes all the guesswork. You can try on glasses to make sure you find a flattering pair that’s easy to wear.

If you need a new pair of glasses, the team at Cook Inlet Eyewear is standing by to assist. After you pick your new frames, you can rest easy knowing trained specialists will make your lenses. Not sure what to get? The staff will provide suggestions to help. The shop also sells contact lenses and the largest selection of pediatric eyewear in the state.
