Opticals prescribing and dispensing

What is Optical Prescribing and Dispensing?

Optical prescribing refers to the process where an ophthalmologist or optometrist diagnoses your vision problems and prescribes corrective eyewear, such as glasses or contact lenses. Dispensing is the next step, where the prescribed glasses or lenses are prepared and fitted according to your prescription.

Dr. Ashwin Shetty and Dr. Soumya Shetty combine their years of expertise to provide comprehensive eye examinations, diagnose various eye conditions, and help you choose the best optical solution tailored to your lifestyle and preferences.
