Eye testing and prescription glasses
Does Deepak Optical offer eye testing?
Yes, Deepak Optical offers in-store eye testing. Visit us to discuss your vision requirements and explore suitable spectacle options. Contact us to confirm the arrangements for your visit.
Can I try frames at home?
Yes, Deepak Optical offers a home trial service in Aligarh so you can try frames at home. We bring 10 to 15 frames to you, and there is a ₹100 charge for the visit. Contact us by call or WhatsApp to book.
How do I choose the right spectacles for my eyes?
The right spectacles depend on your prescription, visual needs, daily activities, frame fit, and budget. At Deepak Optical, you can discuss your requirements and compare available frames and lens options before making a decision.
What should I do if my new spectacles do not feel right?
If your new spectacles cause discomfort or your vision does not seem correct, contact Deepak Optical for a review. We can assess the spectacles and relevant order details to help identify the next step. Persistent blurred vision, headaches, or other symptoms may require an eye-care professional's assessment.
What if my spectacles have been made incorrectly?
If you believe your spectacles have been made incorrectly, contact Deepak Optical and bring your spectacles and order details for review. We follow a remake process for incorrectly made spectacles. The issue will need to be assessed to determine the appropriate next steps.
Spectacle repair and maintenance
Does Deepak Optical repair spectacles?
Yes, Deepak Optical offers spectacle repair services. The available repair options depend on the type of damage, frame material, construction, and availability of suitable parts.
Can I get my spectacles repaired if I purchased them from another store?
Yes. Deepak Optical accepts repair requests for spectacles purchased elsewhere, too. Bring your spectacles to the store so the repair requirements can be assessed. Repair feasibility, cost, and turnaround time depend on the individual case.
Can a broken spectacle frame be repaired instead of replaced?
In many cases, repair may be possible, but it depends on the extent of the damage, frame design, material, and availability of parts. Have your frame assessed before deciding whether repair or replacement is more suitable.
How much does spectacle repair cost?
Repair costs depend on the type of damage, work required, and any replacement parts needed. Contact or visit Deepak Optical for information about the cost of your specific repair before proceeding.
How long does spectacle repair take?
Repair timelines vary depending on the damage, complexity of the repair, and availability of parts. The expected turnaround time can be discussed after the repair requirements are understood.
Can I replace the lenses and keep my existing frame?
Lens replacement may be possible if your existing frame is suitable and in good condition. The frame needs to be assessed for compatibility with the new lenses before the work can proceed.
Orders, remakes, refunds and replacements
What happens if my glasses need to be remade?
If there is an issue with how your spectacles were made, contact Deepak Optical with your order details. We will review the problem and follow the applicable remake process for confirmed errors. Any additional steps will depend on the issue identified.
Can I get a refund or replacement if I am not satisfied with my spectacles?
Refund and replacement requests are considered on a case-by-case basis. The appropriate resolution depends on the product, the reported issue, order details, and applicable terms. Please contact Deepak Optical to discuss your specific situation rather than assuming a refund or replacement is automatic.
How long does it take to receive new prescription glasses?
Delivery time varies depending on the prescription, lens specifications, product availability, and order requirements. The expected timeline is confirmed on a case-by-case basis. Please ask about the estimated delivery date when placing your order.
Can I change my frame after placing an order?
The possibility of changing a frame depends on the order's current stage and the relevant product requirements. Contact Deepak Optical as soon as possible to discuss the available options, any additional cost, and the possible impact on delivery.
Pricing, frames and lenses
How much do prescription spectacles cost at Deepak Optical?
Frame prices are shown on each product page. The total cost depends on the frame, lens specifications, and any additional features you choose. Contact Deepak Optical for current prices and information about the options that fit your requirements and budget.
How do I choose a durable spectacle frame?
Consider the frame material, hinge construction, comfort, fit, weight, and care requirements. The most suitable option depends on your daily activities and preferences. Compare the available frames before choosing one.
Are expensive spectacle lenses always better?
Not necessarily. The best option depends on your prescription, lens design, visual requirements, and budget. Ask about the features and practical differences between the available lenses instead of comparing price alone.
How should I clean and maintain my spectacles?
Rinse your lenses with clean water when appropriate, use a suitable lens-cleaning solution, and wipe them with a clean microfibre cloth. Avoid abrasive materials and excessive heat. Store your spectacles in a protective case when they are not being worn.
Eyeglasses
Do these come with lenses?
The price shown is for the frame. You choose your lenses at checkout, plain, blue-light filtering, or your prescription, and the lens cost is added there so you can see exactly what each option costs before you commit.
How do I know a frame will fit?
Where we have a frame's measurements, lens width, bridge width and temple length in millimetres, they are listed on its product page. Compare them with a pair you already wear comfortably; the numbers are usually printed on the inside of the temple arm, like 52□18-140. If a frame has no measurements listed, ask us on WhatsApp and we'll check it for you.
How do I add my prescription?
At checkout you can upload a photo of your prescription, type the values in yourself (SPH, CYL, AXIS and PD for each eye), or place the order and send it to us afterwards. Copy the numbers exactly as they appear on the prescription your optometrist gave you, we fit the lenses to those values and do not change them.
How much do eyeglasses cost?
Eyeglasses on this page range from ₹100 to ₹850, depending on the frame and any lens you add at checkout.
How long does delivery take?
Shipping is a flat ₹100 across India. Orders are dispatched in 1-2 business days. Delivery usually takes 3-7 business days. Orders with prescription lenses take a little longer, because the lenses are cut and fitted before the frame ships.
Can I come and try frames on?
Yes. Our store details and opening hours are on the stores page, walk in for a fitting, an eye test, or just to try things on.
Sunglasses
What is the difference between polarized and tinted?
A tint reduces overall brightness. A polarized lens additionally filters light reflected off flat surfaces, water, wet roads, car bonnets, which is why it is the usual choice for driving. Where a frame is polarized, it says so on its product page; where it does not say so, it is not.
Can I get sunglasses with my prescription?
Yes, on most frames. Choose your prescription lens option at checkout and we fit tinted prescription lenses to the frame before it ships.
Computer Glasses
What do computer glasses actually do?
They are frames fitted with a lens that filters part of the blue-violet light emitted by screens and reduces reflections off the lens surface. That is a description of the lens, not a medical treatment, if your eyes are hurting, see an optometrist.
Can I get them without any power?
Yes. Zero-power blue-light filtering lenses are available on these frames, and you can also have them made to your prescription if you wear one.
How much do computer glasses cost?
Computer Glasses on this page range from ₹100 to ₹850, depending on the frame and any lens you add at checkout.
Reading Glasses
Can I buy prescription reading glasses online?
Yes. Pick a frame, choose your lens, and enter your add power at checkout, upload your prescription, type it in, or send it afterwards. The lenses are cut and fitted to your numbers at our Aligarh bench before the pair ships across India.
Are there reading glasses for both men and women?
Yes. The frames here include men's, women's and unisex styles. Use the Gender filter to narrow the list, or open the men's or women's page when it is available.
How do I know the reading glasses are good quality?
Check the things you can see: the frame material and measurements on each product page, and the lens option you choose, plain, blue-light filtering or anti-reflective, each priced at checkout. The lenses are made to your prescription and fitted in-house at Deepak Optical, whose Google reviews are public.
Do I need a prescription for reading glasses?
For made-to-order reading lenses we need your add power, the ADD value on your prescription. If you do not have a prescription, an optometrist can give you one; we cannot determine your reading power for you.
What is the difference between single vision and progressive?
A single-vision reading lens has one power throughout, for near work. A progressive lens transitions between distance, intermediate and near power in one lens, so you do not swap glasses. Progressives cost more and take some adjustment.
Can I wear these for a computer, a phone, or studying?
Reading glasses are ground for near distance, a book or phone held roughly 30–40cm away. A laptop or monitor sits further out, at what's called intermediate distance, which reading glasses aren't calibrated for. If most of your day is spent at a screen, office work or studying on a laptop, computer glasses are the better fit; for a phone or a printed page, reading glasses are the right choice.
How much do reading glasses cost?
