FAQs
An online optician consultation is a virtual appointment with an optical expert where you can discuss your eye health, get advice on glasses and the range of lenses available at Fashion Eyewear, and ask about prescription needs, all from the comfort of your home.
You can easily book an online consultation by visiting our website and selecting a convenient time for your appointment. Simply follow the steps to fill out your details and secure your slot.
For the best experience, we recommend using a device with a camera and microphone (smartphone, tablet, or computer). Ensure you have a stable internet connection for smooth communication with our optician. Alternatively, if you do not wish to use a camera, you can choose to have a phone call consultation.
You do not need to have a current prescription to book a consultation or purchase your frame from Fashion Eyewear. If you need a new prescription, we can guide you on how you can purchase eyewear without knowing your prescription at the time of purchase.
A full eye exam typically requires an in-person visit to assess vision and eye health comprehensively.
During the consultation, you will discuss your eye health history, any current vision issues, and your eyewear preferences. The optician may recommend corrective eyewear, offer tips for eye care, and answer any questions you have about lenses, frames, or contact lenses.
The consultation typically lasts around 20 - 30 minutes, depending on the complexity of your needs and the number of questions you have.
While an online consultation allows for general advice and discussions on eyewear options, it does not replace a full in-person eye exam. For a complete eye health check, including testing for eye diseases or conditions, you’ll need an in-person visit.
