Glassesshop.com does not provide eye exams or write prescriptions for eyeglasses. Please visit your ophthalmologist or optometrist to obtain both an eye exam and a prescription. They should provide you with a written copy of your prescription before you leave, but you can always ask for one if they don't. Please also ask your doctor to measure and record your pupillary distance (or PD) on your prescription. Your PD is the distance between your two pupils measured in millimeters (e.g. 60). Your PD is not always included in your eyeglass prescription, but it's very helpful for us to have when making your eyeglasses to ensure that they fit you perfectly.

To purchase a pair of prescription glasses, all you need is your eyeglass prescription. We also recommend that you provide your pupillary distance (or PD) . We will follow up with you via email if we have any questions about your order or if we need any additional prescription information.

Of course! You can email us a copy at service@GlassesShop.com , upload it to our website during the checkout process. When you send us your prescription, please include your name, email address, and order number so that we can match up the prescription to the correct customer or order record.

Our team reviews every single order for prescription glasses. If we come across anything out of the ordinary or clearly incorrect, we will email or call you to clarify. Keep in mind that because prescriptions can differ greatly from person to person, we are unlikely to catch prescription entry errors unless you have provided us with a copy of your prescription (which you can do by either uploading a scan or picture of it during checkout, or emailing the file to service@GlassesShop.com after placing your order).

Definitely! Once you've picked the frames you like, you can select “Non-prescription” option to customize your glasses to be plano glasses.

Unfortunately, contact lens and eyeglass prescriptions are different. The simple reason is because contact lenses sit directly on your eyes, while eyeglasses are held in front of your eyes. Though the prescriptions may appear similar, they will differ in strength and are not interchangeable. We cannot - and, for your safety, would not — use your contact lens prescription to make your glasses.

The extra “$8.95 processing fee" will appear when your PD is too small for the frame or your prescription is beyond the corrective capacity of the lenses you chose. In both cases, additional special Lab work is required to process your lenses. So we will have to charge extra processing fee for it.

The frame measurements on each product’s page are listed as three numbers. The first number refers to the width of one lens in millimeters, the second number to the width of the nose bridge in millimeters, and the third to the length of the temple arms in millimeters. Most glasses (including all glassesshop frames) have these numbers printed on the inside of the temple arm.

First, use the Virtual Try-On to test which frame shape works best for you. Then, compare your current glasses' measurements to the frames' measurements 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 50.18.140, for example. Those numbers represent, respectively, lens width, bridge width and temple arm length.

Generally, we recommend full rim frames in small sizes for high prescription, the smaller the better. We recommend plastic or acetate for high prescriptions. We do not recommend metal rimless frame because the slot of the metal frame is narrow and the lens cannot be embedded tightly. Even it is embedded; you will feel heaviness in the front of the glasses.

We offer a variety of Plastic, Acetate, Metal, Titanium, TR-90, Ultem, Silica-Gel and Stainless Steel. All of our frames are hypoallergenic and come complete with complimentary case and cleaning cloth. For a complete list please click on our online catalog.

Absolutely, on the lens page, please click on the 'Non-prescription' for lens type and we will send you the frames with plano lenses.

Yes. Please check this link https://www.glassesshop.com/kids-eyeglasses.

Yes, not all frames are doable with Bifocals or Progressive. The lens height of the frame should be at least 30mm. We want to make it easier for you to identify which frame can or can't be done with Bifocal or Progressive by putting a check or cross mark on the item page. If you need more advice, please don't hesitate to contact our Customer Service Department.

Most optical stores will do minor adjustments for a small fee or even for free! If you still have problems after that, give us a call at 800-917-7083 or send us an e-mail.

Don’t leave your glasses in a hot area, especially on the dash of a car parked in the sun. The heat can warp the frame and damage the lenses.

Don’t set your glasses close to sinks or vanities since your glasses are likely to get splashed or exposed to corrosive substances in these areas.
