A is correct, IF you made the typo I think you did: does A read "When well-fitted,"?
"When well-fitted" is a dependent clause, and "well-fitted" describes glasses. The others are incorrect because they make no sense!!

You'd get better responses if you put this question in the right category -- this isn't a question about the Yahoo Answers service, it's a question about English Grammar.

Because the other choices, if and when speak of a future tense. The first one speaks in the present tense.
