Abstract

"Giving a customer their eyeglasses are not the end of the matter; it may be the beginning of a problem for both the dispenser and the customer,” This statement summarizes the concept of troubleshooting and the significance of a complete quality check prior to dispensing a pair of glasses. This emphasizes the importance of robust after-sales service to provide a patient with a comprehensive eye care experience.

Aim: The aim is to investigate potential causes of spectacle non-adaptation and returns in retail optical stores.

Methods: Intolerant Patients were requested to provide their concerns, refraction measures, frame type, and any other pertinent information. In addition, retrospective clinical data was collected to assess the quality of the eye exams.

Result: The data collected over three months was analyzed using Microsoft Excel. Seven per cent (7%) of customers returned with complaints in total. The ages of the oldest and youngest consumers ranged from 15 to 58, with a mean age of 36.5 years. The bulk of complaints was from individuals who wore progressive single-vision lenses and bifocals.

Conclusion: The present study concludes that paying close attention to particulars while dispensing a pair of glasses like lens fitting, anisometropia, aniseikonia, high refractive errors and lens enhancements.
