Proper fitting eyeglasses are not just important for your comfort. A proper fitting insures that your glasses are comfortable AND they provide you with appropriate vision correction for each of your needs, including myopia, hyperopia, presbyopia, and astigmatisms.
Proper measurement of segment height or optical center (OC) ensures that your glasses are giving you optimal vision correction. This is especially important for wearers of progressive or bifocal lenses. If your segment height or optical center is off, this could cause a prism effect leading to blurred vision in either distance or near viewing.
Many low-cost, high-volume optometry offices do not take the time to get this measurement right. It takes more than just a simple measurement. It requires a review of your posture, having you look through the glasses both sitting, standing and moving about the room. There is no quick way to to get the answer. The measurement and refinement requires adequate time with each patient.
Independently operated optometry offices, such as Otay Ranch Eyeworks, take the time to really measure your segment height properly. This is especially important with progressive or bifocal lenses to be sure they work optimally for you.
Segment height or optical center are just one of the seven critical measurements needed for your glasses to fit comfortably and provide proper vision correction.
