How to Order Designer Frames On the Web

Monday Feb 8, 2010

You can now make enormous savings by buying your designer glasses on the internet.

In this post we demonstrate how to get the finest deal when ordering designer glasses online.

You need your prescription to hand before you can begin the ordering process. By law, all optometrists must present you with your prescription information. You are not obliged to make a purchase of frames or contact lenses from the optometrist that carries out your sight test.

The first thing is to find an online shop by looking on Google for ‘designer glasses’, ‘designer frames’, ‘glasses online’ or a comparable expression – you need to try out a bit. 

Leaf through the collections of glasses on offer to uncover the pair that provides you the look you want. It’s often valuable if you drop in on an optician to try on other frames and find the shape you feel like, but you can get them much cheaper on the internet.

Did you know frames frames have a size label just like a pair of trousers or a shirt?

You may need a magnifying glass to get the numbers on the inside of the arms. Inside the arms you ought to find 3 numbers that look something like this 54[]18 135 which are the eyewear sizes in millimetres.

Decide on a frame size within 1 or 2mm of your current frame lens diameter (in the illustration above, 54mm) and your new frame is expected to be of a similar dimension to your existing one.

Go for the option to choose if the eyewear are for reading or if they are for broad everyday use.  It’s essential that you indicate if you need bifocal or varifocal lenses.

Select to have thinner lenses if you require your eyewear to be lighter and for the lenses to seem thinner.

It’s important that you have a scratch resistant finish and most websites will provide this as standard.

An anti-reflective coating will help to reduce reflections, particularly when driving at night. A UV400 finish will help to safeguard your eyes from sun damage.

Put in a colour tint to transform your designer glasses into fashionable sunglasses. If you want lenses that go dark in the sunlight automatically, pick Transition lenses.

Pick polarizing lenses for very dazzling light circumstances such as those found when skiing or fishing.

Don’t worry if you don’t understand your prescription.   Just enter your information into the order form as it’s laid out in your prescription.

You will need to put in the ‘pupillary distance’ or PD value. It is the length between the centres of the two pupils in millimeters.  This amount may not be laid out on your prescription but the shop ought to indicate you how to measure it.

You can continue to the shopping basket when you’ve put in all the prescription facts.

After submitting your order, sit back and unwind. You’ve just saved yourself a lot of hard cash!
