Hi everyone,
My friends and professors tell me that lens clocks come in handy for double-checking base curves for glasses we get from opticals, but I'm wondering-- Do real optometrists use these in real life?
And, in general, when optometrists get glasses from opticals, do you check them to make sure they fit the prescription you sent out? It only takes a few minutes per pair of glasses, but I figure the time adds up over the year. Also, it seems unlikely that an optical would screw up enough times to warrant checking every piece of eyewear I receive from them.
What do you think?
