Frame preview

Preview frames
online before
your visit.

Browse eyewear styles from home, then visit Lakeview Eye Care for the fit, lenses, measurements, and benefit details that make glasses work in real life.

The frame board is a helpful place to start when you want to compare shapes, colors, and style directions before coming in. Bring your favorites with you and our optical team can help connect the look you like with the prescription and lenses you actually need.

Lakeview Eye Care helps patients see comfortably in real life. The best frame still needs the right prescription, lens design, measurements, and fit. That is the Lakeview difference.

Quick answer

Can I look at frames before I come in?

How to use it

Browse online, then let the in-office details do their job.

Frame preview is most useful when it gives you a direction, not when it replaces the optical fitting. Glasses still need accurate lens measurements, careful frame adjustment, and a lens plan that matches how you use your eyes each day.

  • Open the frame preview board: Browse styles from home and notice the shapes, colors, and brands that feel most like you.
  • Save or screenshot favorites: Bring a few ideas to your visit so the optical team can help narrow things down quickly.
  • Pair the look with the right lenses: Your prescription, lens design, coatings, sun needs, and screen habits can change which frame is the best fit.
  • Finish the fit in person: Final measurements, adjustments, and insurance benefit details are handled with the team at Lakeview Eye Care.

Before finalizing glasses

The best frame still needs the right optical plan.

The online preview can help with style. Lakeview's in-office team helps with the details that affect daily comfort, clarity, and the way your glasses fit.

Prescription and lens design

Some prescriptions, progressive lenses, thinner lens materials, and sun lenses work better in certain frame shapes.

Bridge, temple, and face fit

A frame can look right online but still need an in-person check for comfort, balance, and everyday wear.

Insurance and benefit review

Vision benefits vary, so our team can help review coverage before finalizing an order.

Availability and alternatives

FAQ

Common questions about previewing frames online.

Can I preview frames before my appointment?

Yes. Lakeview Eye Care offers an online frame preview board so you can browse styles before your visit.

Does the online frame board show every frame in the office?

Not always. Frame brands, colors, sizes, and availability can change, so the online board should be used as a helpful starting point.

Do I still need an in-person optical fitting?

Yes. Final frame choice should include fit, lens measurements, prescription needs, comfort, adjustments, and insurance details.

Can I use insurance after previewing frames online?

Often yes, but benefits vary by plan. Lakeview Eye Care can review your vision benefits before you finalize glasses.

Should I schedule an eye exam before choosing frames?

If your glasses prescription is expired, your vision feels off, or you have not had a recent eye-health check, scheduling an eye exam first is the best next step.

Can I preview prescription sunglasses too?

You can use the frame preview to look for sunwear inspiration, then our team can talk through prescription sunglasses, polarization, UV protection, and lens options in office.
