Prescription glasses in Madrid: speed, frames and proper adaptation are not the same
Buying glasses may seem like an aesthetic choice until you need to wear them twelve hours a day. An accurate prescription, fitting height, frame weight and final adjustment can matter far more than a design that looked good for five minutes in front of a mirror.
Soloptical Puerta del Sol is especially practical if you are in the center and need a quick solution, including adjustments or lens fitting on a short timeline. Óptica Canalejas, in Plaza de Santa Ana, follows a more personal model of advice and fitting.
When you want a less conventional frame
Zelai Óptica, in Chueca, stands out for a selection of less-standard designs and service that pays considerable attention to adjusting the glasses after purchase.
If your prescription has changed significantly or you use progressive lenses, do not decide on speed alone. Ask about lens type, coatings, the adaptation period and after-sales service.
