Is One Better… or Two? How We Make Refraction Testing Smarter and Easier
by Neil Uher II, ABO-AC
If you’ve ever had your eyes checked, you’ve likely been asked the familiar question: “Is one better, or two?” It’s a key part of refining your vision prescription, and while the process seems simple, it involves a lot of science and precision. At UseMyFrame.com, we’ve enhanced this traditional method with cutting-edge technology, making your prescription update faster, easier, and more accurate than ever before.
One of our most exciting features? The ability to instantly switch between your old and new prescription during the test—showing you exactly how much clearer your vision will be with your updated lenses. Let’s take a deeper look at how it works and why our system is so impressive.
What is a Refraction Test?
A refraction test determines your eyeglass or contact lens prescription by measuring how light bends through your eye. If your eyes don’t focus light perfectly on your retina, the result is blurry vision due to conditions like nearsightedness, farsightedness, or astigmatism.
During the test, the optician fine-tunes your prescription by switching between lenses and asking questions like “Is one better, or two?” Each choice brings your prescription closer to perfection.
Why “Is One Better or Two?” Matters
This process is called subjective refinement because it relies on your feedback to optimize clarity and comfort. Even with today’s advanced machines, your input is essential because your brain and eyes work together in unique ways to achieve the best vision.
However, traditional methods require a lot of guesswork—especially if it’s hard to notice differences between the lenses. That’s where our advanced technology changes the game.
How We’ve Revolutionized the Process at UseMyFrame.com
At UseMyFrame.com, we’ve invested in a digital phoropter—a modern, electronically controlled device that allows for faster and more precise testing.
Instant Switching Between Prescriptions
One of the most impressive features of our system is the ability to instantly switch between your current prescription and your new prescription with the push of a button.
Here’s how it works:
- During the test, our certified opticians can save your existing prescription into the machine.
- Once your new prescription is determined, we can instantly toggle between the two.
- You’ll see the comparison in real time, experiencing firsthand how much sharper, clearer, and more comfortable your new vision will be.
This feature eliminates the guesswork and provides a level of clarity that’s simply not possible with traditional, manually operated tools. It’s like having a side-by-side comparison—but even better because you’re viewing it exactly as your eyes would.
Electronically Controlled Precision
Unlike older, manual equipment, our digital system uses electronic controls to make adjustments with extreme precision. Every lens change is measured down to a fraction of a diopter, ensuring your prescription is spot-on the first time.
Fast, Comfortable, and Accurate
The process is not only faster but also more comfortable. You won’t feel rushed, and the precision of the machine means fewer repetitions of the same question. Customers often tell us how amazed they are by how easy it is to see the difference with our technology.
The Importance of Accuracy
Your prescription isn’t just about sharp vision—it’s about comfort. An inaccurate prescription can cause headaches, eye strain, and even make it harder to focus for long periods. By combining your input with our advanced tools, we make sure your vision feels as good as it looks.
How You’ll Benefit from Instant Switching
When you can instantly compare your old prescription to your new one, it’s easier to trust the results. Whether it’s a small improvement or a major upgrade, seeing the difference for yourself builds confidence in your new glasses or contacts.
Limitations to Keep in Mind
While our refraction service is highly accurate, it’s not a replacement for a full eye health exam. Conditions like glaucoma, cataracts, or retinal diseases require specialized testing. Think of our service as the ultimate tool for updating your vision prescription—not diagnosing or treating underlying eye health concerns.
