Buying glasses online can save time and money. A little preparation helps you get it right first time.

Before you start

  • Have a current prescription from a licensed eye-care professional.
  • Know your PD — see how to measure your PD.
  • Note the measurements of a pair that fits well.

While shopping

  • Filter by size first, then by style.
  • Check lens height if you need progressives.
  • Use Virtual Try-On to compare shapes — remembering it is an approximation.
  • Read the itemised lens price in the summary before adding to cart.

At checkout

  • Check your shipping address carefully.
  • Pay only on the secure hosted payment page — this store never asks for card details on its own forms.
  • Save your order number; you can track it from your account or the tracking page.

After delivery

Give yourself time to adapt to a new prescription or lens type. If something feels wrong, contact us and check our returns process.
