Optical Services & Eyewear

Directory of Optical Services and Eyewear Solutions

Eyewear lies at the intersection of medical necessity and fashion. In Armenia, the optical market is diverse, ranging from luxury boutiques to specialized technical workshops. Whether you need a precise prescription check, a replacement for a broken lens, or a repair for a beloved frame, finding the right service provider is key. Turn.am offers a structured directory of optical services, focusing on the technical and service-oriented aspects of vision care rather than just the retail sales of frames.

Core Optical Services

We categorize optical services to help users distinguish between a simple shop and a full-service laboratory:

• Eye Exams & Refraction: Professional vision testing by optometrists or ophthalmologists to determine prescriptions for myopia, hyperopia, and astigmatism. This includes computerized diagnostics.
• Prescription Glasses Manufacturing: The technical process of cutting (edging) and mounting lenses into frames. This includes handling complex lens types like progressives (varifocals) and high-index (thin) lenses for strong prescriptions.
• Frame Repair & Maintenance: Specialized services for fixing broken eyewear. This includes laser soldering of metal/titanium frames, replacing nose pads and screws, and re-polishing acetate frames to remove scratches.
• Contact Lens Fitting: Professional consultation to select the right curvature and material for contact lenses, along with training on how to insert and remove them safely.
• Lens Coating & Treatments: Services for applying or ordering specific lens technologies, such as blue light filters for computer work, photochromic (transition) layers, or anti-reflective driving coatings.

How Turn.am Connects You to Vision Experts

Turn.am acts as a guide to the optical landscape. Not every optical store has a technician capable of repairing a rimless frame or cutting a lens for a high-curve sports wrap-around sunglass. Our platform allows you to filter providers based on their technical capabilities. You can search for opticians who specialize in pediatric eyewear or those who carry specific lens manufacturers like Zeiss, Essilor, or Hoya. Reviews on Turn.am are linked to the service experience—verifying if a prescription was accurate or if a repair held up over time.

Quality and Speed in Armenia

For many, eyewear is an urgent need. Turn.am helps users identify optical centers that offer "1-hour service" (having an in-house lab) versus those that outsource their orders. We also highlight establishments that offer warranty support on their coatings and frames. By providing detailed attributes about the equipment used for diagnostics and the qualifications of the staff, Turn.am ensures that residents and visitors in Armenia can find reliable optical solutions that prioritize eye health and visual comfort.
