How to Buy Glasses Online
Buyers have moved to purchasing many things over the internet, including prescription eye glasses. However, buying glasses online is a little different that buying them at a brink and mortar location.
-
Prescription
-
You will need to have a valid prescription for your lenses from an eye doctor, including your papillary distance measurement.
Frame Measurements
-
Since you won't be able to try your frames on in the store, you will need to have an accurate frame measurement. You can get one by measuring the frames on an old pair of glasses.
-
Extras
-
You will need to choose any extras that you want for your glasses. Common extras include tint for the lenses, lens protection and anti-glare treatment on the lenses.
Terms
-
Unlike in a brick and mortar store, you will need to make sure you read the terms and conditions provided by the online store before purchasing your glasses. This document will lay out certain conditions, including refund policies.
Payment Methods
-
While all online eyewear venders accept credit cards, some will also accept Paypal. If this is your payment method, ensure the store accepts it before you try to order your lenses.
