The best place to get glasses for nearsightedness (are certain stores more accurate)?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No one place: A careful refractive exam, with careful measurements for the glasses usually yields a good pair of glasses and a happy patient. This can happen at a chain or discount store just as easily as in a boutique optical, but I have found that owner opticians generally do a better job at complex eyeglass prescriptions.
