28 POINT INSPECTION

At Broome Optical the substantial majority of the eyeglasses we dispense are made in our in-house laboratory. This allows us to control their quality.

To ensure that they are free of all defects, your eyeglasses will pass our rigorous 28 Point Quality Inspection. This is your assurance that they exceed, (not just meet) the current ANSI standards for first quality eyeglasses. As an added safeguard, the results of our daily quality inspections are reported weekly to an independent consulting company, which monitors our quality efforts.
