How to Buy Glasses Online?

Choose Your Frames

The first step to take when you order glasses online is choosing the frame.

Shape: Whether its rectangular, aviator, round or cat-eye, choose something to compliment your style and features.

Size: The size of the reference frame chooses the style that suits your face shape, such as small, medium, large, etc.

Tip: How to buy glasses online that fit? If you’re not sure what works for you, use the Virtual Try-On to try on frames until you find the perfect one. Our Virtual Try-On will ask you to upload your picture so we can show you online how any frame you choose will look on your face.

Color: It depends on your personal preference. Most frames have several color options.

Choose Your Lens Type

If the frame choice has a lot to do with stylish preferences, lenses are the more functional aspect of your new glasses. In short, what do you need them for?

Prescription or Non-Prescription:

The choice here is pretty simple, whether you’re shopping for eyeglasses or sunglasses you have to choose: buying prescription glasses online or getting non-prescription (also called plano).

Prescription type:

What do you need your glasses for? Reading (Near-Vision lenses), driving (Single-Vision lenses) or both (Progressives or Bifocals). Before moving on, you’ll provide your prescription, either by filling it out online, uploading it or sending it later via email.

Frames

How can I choose the right frame?

First, use the Virtual Try-On to test which frame shape works best for you. Then, compare your current glasses' measurements to the frames' with frame size on our website. This should give you a good sense. Usually you'll find a series of numbers on the inside of the frame, something similar to 52.17.140, for example. Those numbers represent, respectively, lens width, bridge width and temple arm length.

What frame material is right for me?

It depends on what features you are looking for. The following categories can help with your decision:

Weight: If you want a super light frame, go with one that's 15 grams or lower. Titanium frames are generally very light.

Material: You have the choice between metal or plastic. Metal tends to be lighter. Plastic frames tend to be more durable.

Flexibility: This is a nice feature to have for sports glasses.

Color: Plastic frames tend to come in more color options, especially acetate plastic.

Hypoallergenic: Stainless steel, titanium, and acetate frames are hypoallergenic.

Can I order frames without lenses?

Yes! If you choose Frame Only and add to the cart, you only pay for the frame. Many frames still come with retainer lenses (not of optical lens quality) to maintain frame integrity during shipping. They may be removed if desired.

What do the numbers printed on my frame mean?

Frames have a series of numbers printed on the inside of a temple arm (the part that goes behind your ear). The first numbers are typically the manufacturer’s style number and a color code. But farther down the temple arm, there may be important numbers that refer to the dimensions of the frame. These numbers are the measurement, in millimeters, of the lens width, nose bridge width, and temple arm length. Often the lens width and nose bridge width are 2-digit numbers separated by a square, and a temple arm length is a 3-digit number in front of or behind the others. Knowing these numbers can help you choose a frame similar in size when shopping.
