Distinguishing a competent optometrist from a careless one comes down to several observable things: whether they take a detailed personal and family eye history, if they test both eyes separately and together, and how thoroughly they examine eye health beyond just refraction. Paul Gluckman demonstrates this seriousness through comprehensive testing protocols, careful frame selection that accounts for your prescription strength and lifestyle, and willingness to remake or adjust if something isn't right. Someone experienced also knows that a cheap prescription from a hurried check often costs more later—poor fit causes headaches, rushed measurements lead to unusable lenses. Investing time upfront in proper testing and fitting prevents expensive mistakes and gives you glasses that actually work.

Contact lens wearers should have regular annual checks. Ask about the quality difference between lens coatings before purchasing. Children's eye tests should be booked annually, not just when problems are noticed.
