ORDER STATUS: Sign in to your account to view the order status.

YOUR PRESCRIPTION:
You must have an eyeglass prescription to fill out your order.  The Optometrist who filled your prescription must give this to you by law.

Filling out the prescription boxes is straightforward.  OD means right eye and OS means left eye.  These are just the abbreviations for the Latin “oculus dexter” (right) and “oculus sinister” (left).  The Spherical correction is for near or farsightedness, while the cylindrical and axis is for astigmatism.  The Add part is mostly for the over 40 group and is for bifocal reading (near correction). 

SHIPPING COSTS AND DELIVERY TIMEFRAME:
Shipping is $5 per pair. Most orders will be shipped within two weeks.

Shipment is via USPS First Class Mail with tracking # and delivery confirmation for domestic US Shipping.

DELIVERY GUARANTEE: We will refund the full price of your glasses if we miss our 2 weeks delivery commitment. (And you get to keep your new eyeglasses.)

SELECTING A FRAME:

LENS & LENS MATERIALS:
CR-39™ Plastic Lenses – are our standard lenses using the highest optical-grade CR-39™ optical resin. CR-39™ Plastic Lenses are recommended for low-to-moderate prescriptions, between +2.00 and -2.00.  If your prescription is higher than this, check out our Polycarbonate or Hi-Index Lenses.

Polycarbonate Lenses – are the most impact-resistant material of choice.

Hi-Index Lenses - are our lens of choice for those with over ± 2.00 correction. They are our thinnest and lightest lenses. If you've never had Hi-Index lenses before, you'll be surprised how thin and light your eyeglass lenses can be!

PRESCRIPTION AND LENS TYPE:
Single Vision - Single vision is the standard eyeglass prescription having Spherical, Cylindrical and Axis values for Distance and astigmatism correction.

Bi-Focals - Bi-Focals have that light line just below the centerline of the lens that separate the distance upper part from the reading lower part of the lens.

Progressive - Progressive (no-line bi-focal) lenses need to have an absolute minimum of 30mm height, but here again we recommend at least 34mm or higher lens for a more comfortable viewing area.

TRANSITIONS:
Photo chromic Transitions® Lenses change from clear to dark in the presence of ultraviolet light, and block nearly 100% of harmful UV rays.

Driving: Windshields in today’s vehicles block most of the UV rays that cause Transitions® Lenses to activate, or darken. As a result, when worn inside a car where less UV light is present, the ability of the lenses to darken is reduced. You may rather need a pair of polarized prescription sunglasses for driving.

POLARIZED:
Polarized lenses have filters that block out reflected light. They virtually eliminate the glare caused by reflections from horizontal surfaces, making them ideal for driving or water-activities.

COATINGS:
Anti-Reflective Coating
- Our premium anti-reflective coating is ideal for computer use and night driving. They work by increasing the light transmission through the lenses, providing you with the clearest, sharpest vision at all times. Any great-looking pair of glasses will look even better: people will see your eyes through the lenses, not the light reflection!

UV40 Coating - Just as we use sunscreen to keep the sun's UV rays from harming our skin, UV treatment in eyeglass lenses blocks those same rays from damaging our eyes.

Scratch Resistant Coating - No eyeglass lens material — not even glass — is scratch-proof. However, a lens that is treated front and back with a clear, hard coating does become more resistant to scratching, whether it's from dropping your glasses on the floor or occasionally cleaning them with a paper towel.

LENS TINT CHOICES
Three lens tint colors are available on our web site. Brown, Gray, and Gray/Green.  Each of these colors is available in three shades – Light, Medium, and Dark.

Dark Tint - A Dark Tint is a dark sunglass tint for bright outdoor conditions.

Medium Tint - The Medium Tint is a medium light sunglass tint that is not too dark to make it unusable indoors, while giving some medium/light sunshade protection outdoors.

Light Tint - A Light Tint is a very light cosmetic/fashion tint barely noticeable to the wearer, but giving a slight hint of color to people looking at you..

All of our eyeglass lenses, tinted or clear, have full 100% UV protection built in to protect the eyes from harmful sunrays.
