Book a free eye examHow it works
Bring the frame
The optician inspects the frame before the work: integrity, fit, the state of the nylon wire or screws — and warns about any risk beforehand. If the frame is not suitable, we say so straight away.
An exam or your prescription
A free eye exam at the store, booked online. A valid prescription from an ophthalmologist or optometrist is enough.
Choose lenses from the catalog
Stock 1.50, thinned, progressive, office, photochromic, kids’ Stellest — the pair price is fixed before payment.
Making and pick-up
Stock lenses are fitted the same day; prescription lenses take 3–14 days. We message you on WhatsApp when the glasses are ready.
Fitting cost by frame type
The optician's work is priced separately from the lenses: the pair at catalog price, the fitting by frame type.
| Frame type | Optician's work | What is included and why this price |
|---|---|---|
| Regular frame | ₸3,000 | Full-rim plastic or metal frame, lenses without a cylinder: edging to the rim shape and fitting. |
| Astigmatic lenses (with cylinder) | ₸4,000 | Any full-rim frame: cylinder lenses need precise axis marking and a control check after fitting. |
| Semi-rimless nylon-wire frame | ₸5,000 | The lower edge of the lens is held by a nylon wire: the lens edge needs a groove and the wire is re-tensioned. |
| Rimless frame on screws | ₸6,000 | The lenses are fixed with screws through drilled holes — the most precise work. The optician inspects the frame before the work and warns about any risk beforehand. |
