1. Education: Before you buy we educate you on the basics of lenses and frames. We ask how the glasses are going to be used, how often, what times, and what particular task you are trying to accomplish. There are many specialty lenses for everyday, computer, sports, swimming, sun wear, safety or work.

2. Specialty lenses: At times specialty lenses are prescribed by your doctor but not readily available. We will search all possible resources. Because we’re an independent lab we have a more diverse national lab base to choose from making it more likely to find that unique lens.

3. Frame approval: If you see a frame you like, but we don’t have the right color or size in stock, we’ll get it in for you to look at before you purchase. If you find a frame elsewhere that looks interesting to you we will do our best to order it in.

4. In House Lab: An in-house surface lab and a large selection of lenses means we can provide fast accurate service. Same day service is available on some Rx’s. Just ask us for the details.

5. Solders and repairs: Most solders and minor repairs can be completed while you wait. There is no need to send them away and be without your glasses for a week.

6. Adjustments: Need your glasses adjusted? We will adjust your old or new glasses any time during business hours at no charge regardless of where they were purchased.

7. Lens Tinting: Our lab is able to tint some existing lenses depending on the lens material or coatings. This is a great way to darken old lenses into sunglasses. Ask us and we can determine if it is possible on your lenses.

8. Cut Down: You don’t have to throw away that set of lenses just because the frame is broken. Bring in your lenses and we will do our best to put them into a new frame for you. This is great in an emergency, or if you need a second pair.

9. Insurances: Bay Optical Lab will bill your primary insurance carrier as a courtesy to our patients. It is up to the patient to check their own eligibility.

10. Support and service after the sale: We are here for you after you have picked up your glasses. We will gladly re-adjust, or answer any questions that you may have no matter how long it’s been.
