How Do I Order My Prescription Glasses Online?

What do I need to order prescription glasses online?

Before you begin ordering your prescription eyewear, be sure that you have the following pieces of information:

Your Prescription-

Make sure to get a non-expired prescription from your doctor. How long are prescriptions valid? Generally your prescription is valid for 2 years, unless otherwise specified by your state or the doctor. 

Your Pupillary Distance- 

Firstly, what is a Pupillary Distance? It is the measure of the distance between your pupils. For more information, use the “What is PD (Pupillary Distance)?” guide.

You will need your PD - your Pupillary Distance- to order glasses online
