Feb 7, 2016
I came across this small gem of an optician shop a number of years ago when my union had an eyeglass benefit which was fulfilled by Williamsville Optical. I was in my late forties at the time and like most people at that age, I was starting to need bifocals because my natural lenses could only focus at one distance. I had tried getting progressive lenses at several of the major optical retail chains, but the result was always the same: expensive lenses, blurry vision and excuses from incompetent opticians. Every time I moved my head from left to right, it was like looking through a fish bowl. When I went to Dr. Jans, however, at Williamsville Optical, he told me that my prescription was correct, but that my lenses hadn't been fitted right. The optical centers of the lenses didn't line up exactly with my pupils and more importantly, the vertical positioning of the lenses was incorrect. I remember him saying something like, "If progressive lenses are fitted right, you shouldn't be aware that you are wearing progressives." Sure enough, when his daughter Liz fitted me with new lenses, the fishbowl effect disappeared, and I could see clearly at all distances. Dr. Jans has since passed away and his two daughters have taken over the business. Now that I'm in my late 60's and my prescription is starting to change again, I'm grateful to know that Liz is there to take the time to properly measure and fit my new lenses.
