Erster Termin beim Optiker für eine Brille – eine Brille direkt bekommen wahrscheinlich oder nicht?

Wie läuft das erfahrungsgemäß ab?

Ist man schon im ersten Termin durch? (Tests, Brillenauswahl..) oder braucht man mehrere Termine?

Ich weiß nämlich zb nicht ob ich direkt Geld mitnehmen soll für die Brille oder nicht (oder zahlt man per Überweisung?)

Hat jemand evtl. Erfahrung?

When you see that you actually need glasses, you can choose one right away if you want to.

To do this, I would recommend that you be advised by the optician to find the best possible solution for you. Unfortunately, at the beginning I made the mistake of biting myself to a certain spectacle model, which was badly sitting and constantly slipping – if I had not been so consultative and had listened to the optician, it would not have happened. When selecting the lenses, you will also be advised by the optician, thereby determining your need on the basis of the intended use of the glasses and recommending the appropriate spectacle lens material as well as the inquiring options when reflecting and associated finishing. In addition, the required data for the centering is also recorded, which runs like this: While you have the selected spectacle frame on your nose, the optician misses the points where your eyes are located behind the spectacle lenses and records this measure (pull distance + height) on the demo lenses in the spectacles. This is then corrected again and optionally.

If you decide to give the order, the optician will order the spectacle lenses and, as soon as they have been delivered, grind them into your spectacle frame. How long the whole takes depends on the delivery time of the spectacle lenses and, of course, also on order volumes. Some opticians are pretty fast, because it can be that you can pick up your glasses after three wears, with others (for example Fielmann, Apollo, etc.) it seems much longer, often even several weeks, until the pickup notification.

Payment options vary from business to business, some charge a deposit and the rest when picking up, others expect the total amount only when picking up.

Good morning.

You let the optician make the visual test and then select a frame. The optician likes to advise you to the glasses. You usually pay only when picking up your glasses – I know that. And in cash.

Rarely it happens that the customer is uncertain at the 1st sight test whether he really recognized the letters/numbers and wishes a 2. Comparative test (even in people with blood pressure fluctuations, the optician likes to carry out a 2nd test). Sometimes the customer is not safe with the version and comes a second time.

It is possible that you get glasses directly at the first appointment with the optician. However, it depends on various factors, such as the type of your visual disorder and the extent of the required glasses, whether you find glasses from the existing stock or whether your glasses need to be customized.

Normally, a first appointment with the optician runs as follows: You will make a vision test to determine your vision and to determine whether you need glasses. Based on your vision test, the optician will then recommend various spectacle models that match your vision and taste.

Once you have selected a spectacle model, the optician will adapt and customize your glasses to ensure that it fits perfectly and offers the best results. You may need to return to another appointment to pick up your finished glasses, or it will be delivered directly.

In terms of payment, this depends on the optician. Some opticians accept card payments or transfers while others may prefer cash. It is a good idea to inform yourself in advance about the payment methods to ensure that you have enough cash with you or that you have a bank card with sufficient credit.

In this section you presented the process somewhat wrong. After selecting a version, it is not adjusted. The next point is the glass meeting. If all this is done, the customer may go and the surgeon will order the glasses at the manufacturer. If they are there, they must be ground in the form of the frame. Normally, the finished glasses will never be sent, but the customer will pick them up because the glasses are adapted to the head only after they have been finished.

I definitely advise you and recommend that you first visit an ophthalmologist to have a reasonable diagnosis. The optician likes to sell glasses.

You can go directly to the optician for the visual test. You go to the ophthalmologist if you are still under 18 – from him you would get a prescription for glasses in which the statutory KK will shoot a small fixed amount. You are over 18 J.; I have read this from your previous questions. Ophthalmologists are physicians and responsible for diseases at the eye, opticians are trained specialists for vision tests and all about glasses/contact lenses.

Note: You can go to the ophthalmologist to check your eye health in general.

If you were still with an ophthalmologist, I would definitely go there first. You don’t let yourself use a pacemaker because a doctor’s helper says you’re a disease test

That’s not true. Turns out during the vision test, the person does not need glasses, the optician does not sell any.

Right, that’s the optician. The ophthalmologist likes to sell the services that the health insurance does not pay. He couldn’t keep his practice from the cash benefit alone.
By the way, ophthalmologists no longer automatically learn the refraction in their studies for at least 30 years, i.e. the determination of the glass thickness. Some have a quick course at an optics master to learn the basics at least. Others set up an optics master or are even optics masters.

Perhaps, but no patient will be required to use IGEL services. And do you want to tell me that if I’ve never been to the ophthalmologist, it’s bullshit to have my eyes examined? That’s why the optician can do the rest. But here it is suggested that an optician should be equalized with an ophthalmologist, and there is no way

These are those situations where you ask, who should I believe? Of course, the doctor has the better chances because he is a doctor and because the optician, understandably, has a business interest as the only basis of the recommendation. Also comprehensible for me.
But you don’t really know if a glasses weren’t the better solution.
My suggestion, go to an optics store, not a branchist, and make a driver’s test. There is nothing to be manipulated, provided that the device prescribed by the legislator is used, but you know if you look good or not. If you can correctly name the opening in all circles, you have a good vision. But you notice yourself if this is not the case.

Thank you for your detailed and factual comment. My call it scepticism is perhaps also based on what I was told in a business, I need glasses (after examination). A few days later at the ophthalmologist (the second in my life) the doctor said my eyes were so good, I don’t need one in 20 years. Of course, something exaggerated, but I’m going regularly, and 8 years have already passed.

You got a little wrong. No customer is compelled to buy expensive glasses, except some Filialists, but you don’t have to buy there.

the If I’ve never been with the eye doctor, it’s bullshit to have my eyes examined?

This is the best thing you can do for your eyes, no optician can and wants and can examine the eyes medically. As soon as he gets a slight suspicion, the responsible optician will send you to the ophthalmologist anyway.

I don’t want to suggest anything but explain to you, opticians and eye doctors have certain points of intersection, both in education and later in the profession. So what do you read that opticians would be the same with the eye doctors? I didn’t even write that. Doctors are there for health and/or for diseases, opticians for the ill vision, but most of them are not diseases. Ophthalmologists have nothing to do with anything relating to glasses for a long time, and most of their patients even point out that they do not make any more refraction, but leave it to the opticians because they can do better and the refraction for the eye doctors is too expensive.
Only a stupid optician tries to do something to his customers against their will. Most opticians want satisfied regular customers.

By the way, yesterday, as an optician, I called my ophthalmologist for an appointment. The nice lady on the phone called me the earliest appointment of March in 1 year, before it was nothing to do, they were so overrun. Unfortunately, this is not a single case, but almost the normal one. If I weren’t an optician myself, I’d only get my new glasses next year.
Now you want your first glasses and want to go to the ophthalmologist, which is absolutely right, but do you wait 1 year?

I wish that your eyes will remain healthy for a very long time, even if they become short or long-sighted.

If it is found that you need glasses, you can also discuss it. The optician can optimally advise you and make decisions easier for you.

With the payment you will agree that goes with bank transfer.

According to my experience, the glasses are only produced with the appropriate strength after consulting.

I could always pick her up in 1-2 weeks. I could pay before or when picking up.

So if the glasses have to be made, this can take 1-2 weeks. If you have a suitable Model+ glasses ready, this should not be a problem to get them immediately.
