To see the difference a professional try-on can make, read on—and discover secrets to a flawless eyewear fit from start to finish.

What Is a Professional Eyewear Try-On?

A professional eyewear try-on is a multi-step, precision-driven experience that goes far beyond “trying on a few frames in the mirror.” At iDoctor, our certified opticians and optometrist, Dr. Saher Sayed, use a mix of hands-on expertise and digital measurement systems to make sure every aspect of your glasses—bridge, temples, lens placement—fits your face like it was tailored just for you.

This is not just for aesthetics. An accurate fit prevents headaches, pressure points, and common annoyances associated with off-the-rack glasses. The key is to perfect the frame fit before lenses are cut, which saves you time, reduces remakes, and delivers true, all-day comfort.

Our 7-Step Try-On & Fit Process: How We Make Eyewear Comfortable from Day One

Every face deserves a precision fit—especially before we cut your prescription lenses. Here’s exactly how we do it at iDoctor in Glendale Heights:

1. Facial Anatomy Assessment: We start by mapping your unique features, like nose bridge height, cheekbone width, and ear positioning. This helps us recommend frame shapes that will naturally follow your face, whether you’re an adult or a child.
2. Frame Curation: From 100+ designer options—including Cartier, Prada, Tom Ford, Ray-Ban, and Gucci—we help you narrow it down to 3-5 pairs that maximize your comfort and style.
3. Nose Pad Adjustment: We test and fine-tune nose pads so they sit securely with minimal contact—no painful red marks or slippage.
4. Temple Length & Curve: Arms (temples) should rest gently above the ear without causing pressure. We check that the bend follows your natural ear line and trim or adjust as needed.
5. Bridge & Brow Check: Frames should rest slightly below your brow (not on your cheeks or halfway up your forehead), with a gap-free fit at the bridge. This prevents sliding and ensures a straight, professional look.
6. Optikam Digital Measurement: With the Optikam system, we digitally map your eye and pupil centers in relation to the frame. This allows us to center your lenses within 0.5 mm accuracy, which is crucial for high-index, progressive, or specialty lenses.
7. Live Mobility Test: We have you walk, look around, smile, and nod. If frames shift or move, adjustments are made immediately—and we provide free, unlimited adjustments for life.

This process is especially critical before ordering custom lenses like progressives or high-index designs, where even a tiny measurement error can affect comfort and vision quality. Many patients from Carol Stream mention in reviews how the fitting 3″really made a difference compared to big-box stores.”
