Ben Franklin care

From prescription to personally fitted eyewear

See how a Ben Franklin hospital-based optical counter helps you choose frames and lenses, takes fitting measurements and supports you after collection.

01

Discuss your prescription

Bring your current prescription following your consultation. Explain how you use your glasses, any previous difficulties and your budget.

02

Choose frames and lenses

Try frames for comfort and fit. Compare lens materials, designs and coatings, and request a complete quotation before ordering.

03

Take fitting measurements

The optical team checks your frame position and takes the measurements required for your chosen lens, such as pupil distance and fitting height.

04

Collect and check the fit

At collection, check the fit and discuss how to use and care for your new glasses. Ask the team about anything that feels uncomfortable.

05

Return for support

Contact the counter for adjustments or purchase concerns. The optical team can help coordinate further clinical advice when needed.

Helpful answers

Your questions, answered

Why buy glasses inside an eye hospital?

A hospital-based optical counter makes it convenient to move from your consultation to prescription dispensing in the same setting. At Ben Franklin you can discuss frames, lens options, fitting and aftercare with the optical team.

Are hospital-dispensed glasses more accurate than glasses from another optician?

The location alone does not establish accuracy. Your prescription, lens measurements, manufacturing and fitting all matter. Ben Franklin's hospital setting makes coordination with eye-care teams convenient when further advice is needed.
