FAQ
Visiting ZITA
How can I visit you?
You can book your visit for a frame fitting or a professional eye examination here. You can choose from six 90-minute appointments each day. It’s only up to you whether you will use up all of your time. During this time, our attention will primarily be yours.
Do you do eye examinations?
Yes. We provide various complex services under one roof: from eye examinations and frame fitting to lens cutting. We have optometrists in our team who will give you a thorough examination as well as practical advice from the heart. You need to set at least 40 minutes aside for a good eye examination. You can book your examination appointment easily here.
I have booked my appointment. Can I bring someone to help me choose my frames?
Can two of us come for one appointment?
Yes. During your appointment (90 minutes), we are able to help both of you with choosing frames. When booking, check the box that the two of you will arrive. Please note the name of your companion in the comment box.
Do I need an appointment if I need to have my frames fixed or if I’m coming to pick up my frames?

All about frames and glasses in ZITA
What kinds of frames do you offer?
What eyewear brands do you offer?
We like to brand ourselves as eyewear curators. At Zita you can find accessible designer frames of high quality. Our favourite manufacturers are mostly from Spain, France, Italy, Belgium, Austria, the UK, Poland and Germany. You can find the complete list in the section where we introduce each of our brands.
What kinds of lenses do you fit into your frames?
When will my glasses be ready?
What’s the guarantee for your glasses?
I have a prescription. Can I have my glasses made at your opticians without a previous examination?
Can you make multifocal glasses for me?
We will be happy to! Multifocal glasses are a great choice, especially when you don’t want to switch between distance and reading glasses. Thanks to a gradual shift of diopter in multifocal lenses, you will only need one pair.
Do you also offer contact lenses?
Of course. We cater to your eyes in every way – whether it’s an eye examination, frame fitting or contact lenses. However, the parameters for contact lenses are different to normal lenses, and we need to know your corneal curvature as well as your diopter. That’s why we recommend you come for an eye examination first. Based on the results, we will order trial contact lenses and go through the correct application process together. Contact lens application training with an optometrist costs 40 EUR. Application instruction and training, cleaning, test lenses and lens solution are included in the price. If you are interested in an examination focused on contact lenses, contact us at optika@zita.sk, and we will make a special appointment. Appointments in the reservation system are primarily intended for eye examinations and dioptric glasses fittings.
Do you also fit lenses in frames that were not bought at your store?
Yes! We’re happy to fit lenses into to any of your frames, even if they were not bought at our store. The fee is 40 €.

ZITA kids
Do I need to book an appointment for my child?
We kindly ask you to reserve an appointment for your child just like you would do it for yourself. You can choose one here. When making a reservation, fill out your child’s name and your contact details. We offer frame fitting for all ages but can only examine those over 15 years of age.
Can you examine the eyesight of my child?
Zo zákona môže zrak deťom do 15 rokov vyšetriť iba očný lekár. S výberom detského dioptrického alebo slnečného rámu a zábrusom okuliarových šošoviek vašim deťom však s radosťou pomôžeme! Stačí, ak k nám do optiky prídete s receptom nie starším ako pol roka.
What size of children frames do you offer?
In ZITA, you can find dioptric frames for three age categories - 0-2, 3-7 and 8 years and older. Teenagers mostly choose from our smaller adult frames. The shape and design are adapted to the child’s needs. Babies and toddlers have safety rubber bands on the sides. We currently offer sunglasses for children from 5 to 10 years old.
