How to choose between its lines

Bring your working distances to the consultation when discussing SeeMax, Presio and E-Life Pro. Ask whether the proposal is intended for your full daily routine or a particular indoor task. Request the exact design and variant on the quote, with material, coating and any photochromic option listed separately.

Questions to ask your optician

  • Which SeeMax or Presio design would you suggest for my daily tasks?
  • Which E-Life Pro variant would you discuss for my working distances?
  • What exact design, material and coating appear on the quote?
  • How will my frame be checked, and what follow-up and remake terms apply?

Fitting and adaptation basics

Have pupil distance and fitting height measured in the chosen frame. Explain where your screen sits and how you hold reading material. Adaptation varies by wearer; agree on when to return if tasks remain difficult. Ask what the practice will check at a follow-up and request written adjustment, remake, warranty and return terms.
