What's in the guide

Five real mistakes, pulled from two decades on the other side of the counter — and exactly what to do instead of each one.

01

Guessing your PD instead of measuring it

Why phone apps and "average" numbers quietly ruin progressive lenses.

02

Buying the wrong lens index for your prescription

Where upsells stop being useful and start being padding.

03

Skipping the frame measurements that actually matter

The three numbers that decide whether your glasses will fit — not just look right in a photo.

04

Treating every prescription as "online-safe"

When your Rx means you should walk into an office instead — and why.

05

Not knowing what to do when something's wrong

Headaches, distortion, bad fit — what's normal adjustment and what's a return.
