How to Buy Glasses Online?

Buying glasses online is economic, guaranteed, and efficient. But buying your first pair of glasses online may still seem daunting.

No need fear, our online guide on how to buy glasses online is here, more helpful than a horde of experienced older sisters. So pucker up, pull up the monitor, and follow my lead. I’m guiding you to glasses bliss.

Simply follow the 4 steps of buying eyeglasses online:

1. Get Your Prescription — Have your glasses prescription ready. Simply ask your eye doctor for help. Your eyeglasses prescription includes many numbers and parts. Don’t feel overwhelmed by this. Understanding is just a mouse click away.

2. Know Your Pupillary Distance (PD)—This is the distance between your pupils. Ask your eye doctor for this measurement. Having your PD ensures your lenses will align with your eyes properly.

3. Choose Eyeglass Frame — If you have an old pair of glasses that fit well, measure them as shown below (though the first check inside your glasses; measurements may already be posted there, saving you grunt work). You can then search for an eyeglass frame according to style, with the measurements to know how the glasses will fit. When you find the frames you love, it’s time to personalize the glasses lenses.

4. Select Your Glasses Lenses – There are several types of lenses: single vision, bifocals, and progressive lenses.
