We pride ourselves on handling prescriptions flawlessly. Our doctors and reception team take extra steps to avoid costly and frustrating errors.
The chance of human error increases with online purchases, which can lead to prescription inaccuracies that negatively impact your vision and eye health.
Our dedicated optometrists and opticians offer personalized advice, helping you select frames that perfectly match your prescription, facial features, and lifestyle.
It is impossible to replace the professional expertise that an experienced eye doctor brings, increasing your chances of making suboptimal choices that are expensive to fix.
In-person eyewear fittings are unmatched in their accuracy. Not only do we guarantee clear sight, but your frames will also fit comfortably and securely.
Without first trying them on, online shoppers may struggle to find glasses that fit well, often leading to discomfort or the need for adjustments.
At Maine Optometry, we select eyeglasses from trusted manufacturers to ensure their quality, so you can expect that your frames will hold up during daily use and meet your exact needs.
Many online retailers host counterfeit or subpar eyewear from less trustworthy sellers. Verifying the quality of an online retailer’s stock is very difficult.
Eye doctors offer follow-up services, including adjustments, repairs, and regular eye exams — and these invaluable safety nets are covered by most vision insurance plans.
Online returns and exchanges are often more complex and time-consuming compared to in-person purchases.
