FULL SERVICE FINISHING LAB
Dawson’s Vision Center features a full-service finishing lab, allowing us to receive uncut lenses and customize them for your frames. We use three key data points: your prescription from Dr. Wood-Bentley or your optometrist, precise measurements of your pupillary distance (PD) and segment height for bifocals or progressives, and the dimensions of your chosen frame. This information is entered into our system to order high-quality lenses from trusted suppliers.
​
Once the lenses arrive, they are checked for accuracy and edged using our computerized edger to fit your frame perfectly. A final inspection ensures the correct prescription, bifocal height (if applicable), and PD alignment. After verification, Rick or Larry personally delivers your glasses. Most prescriptions are completed within 3-4 days, ensuring quick and precise service tailored to your needs.
