A first pair of progressives: the page to publish before the fitting

Who fits progressive lenses, and what the fitting involves

Start with the person. The page names who measures and fits progressives at each branch, with their title as the licensing body writes it, and the days they work there: "[Name], [title], fits progressive lenses at [branch] on [days]." Who may do this work differs by jurisdiction, so the page says only who does it at your store, as licensed, never who is allowed to.

Then the appointment, as your store runs it: how long it takes, as [n] minutes; whether it is booked or walk-in; which measurements are taken and when, at the fitting and again at pickup; and what the buyer brings, such as the prescription, their own frame if they have one, and the glasses they wear now. If your store fits progressives only in some frames, say so, and say in your own words when and why your fitters suggest another frame.

Questions about the wearer's eyes, such as whether progressives suit them, go to their eye doctor or, where your store has one, your optometrist. Say that on the page, with the name and branch of whoever examines.

The designs you offer, under the maker's names

List the designs as each maker names them, grouped the way your counter groups them, with a price range and a lead time for each. A buyer comparing stores compares these rows. The brackets below stand for your makers and designs; this page names none.

Leave descriptions of what each design does to its maker, and link the maker's page if you want buyers to read them. Your page states what you sell, who fits it and what it costs. Which design suits a wearer is settled at the fitting, after the exam, and the page says so rather than choosing for anyone.

The price range, and what moves it

Give one range for progressive lenses at your store, dated, such as "[price] to [price] for the lenses, as of [month, year]", and say whether a frame is included. Then list what moves a price within it, in the order your counter explains it.

• The design, by the groups in the table above.
• The lens material, by the names you sell it under.
• Options such as coatings and tints, each by name with its own price.
• The frame: new, the buyer's own, or part of a package.
• Plan billing: the plans each branch bills, by the name on the card, with the date the list was checked.

What a plan pays toward progressives is set by the plan, not by your page: state which plans you bill and send the buyer to the plan for the rest. The final price for a given prescription is quoted before anything is ordered, and the page can say exactly that. Keep all of it in the page's own text rather than a PDF price list; our audit of 9,483 small business websites (40 trades, 90 metros, late August to early September 2026) found 2.1% keeping real content, such as a price list, in a PDF, a figure for all 40 trades together.

Getting used to them, in your store's own words

Your fitters already tell new wearers something about getting used to progressives. Put that on the page, quoted as the store's own: "We tell first-time wearers to expect [the period your fitters give, in their words]." Then say what to do if things have not settled by then: come back to [branch] and ask for [name], with or without an appointment.

Keep it to what the store tells customers and what the store does next. The page gives no reason rooted in the eye, promises no period and does not describe what a wearer will see. A buyer with a question about their own eyes during those weeks is sent to their eye doctor or to your optometrist, by name.

When a wearer cannot adapt: the remake policy, in full

Write the policy as a policy, with every condition in it: the period it runs, as [n] days from pickup; what is offered, such as a remake in another design, a change to [another lens type you sell] or a refund of [part]; what it costs, as [price] or nothing; what the buyer brings back; which branches honor it; and how a plan's billing is handled, in your store's words.

If terms differ by maker or by design, say so row by row, as each maker's terms at your store rather than as the maker's promise. State the limits on the page and not only at the counter, so a buyer reads the last day of the remake period before paying rather than after. Whether rules where you trade say anything about returns or remakes is a question for your counsel; the page states only your own terms.

A buyer who asks an AI assistant whether your store remakes progressives can get your terms back only where a page states them. Without that page, an answer has nothing of yours to repeat about remakes.

The page itself, as a template

Each heading is a question in the buyer's words, and the first sentence under it answers the question with the store and the branch named, which is what citability comes down to here. Laid out this way, the page is one answer page holding six answers; how each first sentence is built is in the article on quotable answers. Across the 9,483 sites in the audit, 61.5% carried no question-and-answer content at all, and 50.7%, about half, had a question heading with no answer under it that a machine could isolate.

Put the page in the HTML, link it from the lenses page and from each branch that fits progressives, and date it at the foot, moving the date only when someone has checked the facts; that is what freshness means for a page like this. The rest of a glasses purchase, from the exam to repairs, is laid out in the purchase, question by question, and the facts each branch page carries are on the overview for opticians.
