Following your eye exam, and should you require glasses, you can visit the dispensing suite, where Jovi, Erika and Mikaela will help select the best frames and lenses for you.
At Burnett Hodd & Tam, we believe in a patient-centered approach, free from pressure to make hasty decisions or purchase unnecessary products. Our commitment is to provide an exceptional level of service that mirrors the bespoke care from our expert optometrists, something not readily found elsewhere.
What is a Dispensing Optician?
A Registered Dispensing Optician is a highly trained professional who has completed three years of college education. They specialise in dispensing and fitting spectacles and other optical aids, based on prescriptions from optometrists and ophthalmologists. At Burnett Hodd & Tam, our opticians go the extra mile, priding themselves on delivering a unique and personalised dispensing experience.
The dispensing experience begins with an in-depth discussion about your needs and preferences for new glasses. Our dispensing opticians then select a curated range of spectacle frames for you to try, ensuring you find the perfect fit.
The hallmark of our practice is the unlimited time our dispensing opticians spend with you. You can take as long as you need to choose your new look and ask any practical questions you may have. Our opticians are not restricted to one manufacturer, allowing us to offer the best lens designs from the most suitable manufacturers for your individual needs.
For instance, do you spend a lot of time on your computer? An occupational lens might be beneficial. Frequently travel abroad? Photochromic or polarised prescription lenses could be ideal. Your hobbies and lifestyle choices are carefully considered to recommend the best glasses tailored to your needs.
We use only the highest quality lenses in the glasses we fit, featuring prestigious brands like Zeiss, as well as lesser-known yet exceptional brands like Hoya and Shamir, especially for complex prescriptions.

Our dispensing suite is slightly different from most practices in that we only display a few frames and sunglasses. The majority of our stylish frame collections are stored in drawers. This means you won't be overwhelmed by hundreds of unsuitable frames all looking the same. We also often get delivered frames before any other Optician, so you can be sure you get the most exclusive of experiences.
