1
Choose the perfect frame
The first step in buying your online glasses is selecting a frame that suits your features and lifestyle. Explore thousands of authentic designs from Ray-Ban®, Oakley®, Gucci®, and more, with filters for size, shape, color, and material. Shopping for everyday prescription glasses or sun-ready prescription sunglasses? You’ll find it all in our curated eyeglasses collection. Need help with measurements? Visit our quick frame size guide to get the ideal fit the first time.

Add prescription lenses
After choosing your frame, add lenses tailored to your vision: single-vision for distance or near, progressives for seamless multitasking, and specialty options for office or screen work. Enhance clarity and comfort with anti-glare coatings, photochromic lenses, or thinner high-index materials. Dive deeper with our prescription lenses overview, learn the benefits of anti-glare lenses, and compare lens indexes & thickness.
3
Provide your prescription and pupillary distance (PD)
Upload a clear copy of your prescription or enter it manually at checkout. Unsure about the abbreviations? Read our guide on
how to read a prescription. For perfect alignment, include your PD (pupillary distance)—follow our step-by-step PD measurement tutorial to ensure pinpoint optical centering and the sharpest vision.
No Rx? No PD required.
If you’re ordering non-prescription lenses—such as fashion tints, plano sunglasses, or
Super Style Transitions® without a prescription—there’s no need to provide a prescription or PD.
Just choose your frame and lens options (we offer 250+ tint choices) and proceed to checkout.

FAQ – Buying Online Glasses & Prescription Sunglasses
How do I pick the right frame size?
Match your current pair’s measurements or use our easy frame size guide.
Correct width and bridge fit keep your lenses centered and comfortable all day.
Which lenses should I choose for my prescription?
Single-vision lenses correct distance or near tasks; progressives cover both without a line.
Consider anti-glare for clearer night driving and screens,
and compare lens indexes to keep high prescriptions thin and light.
Can I order tinted or photochromic lenses without a prescription?
Yes. We can fit most frames with non-prescription custom tints (over 250 options) or
Super Style Transitions® lenses that adapt to light—perfect for fashion or outdoor comfort.
Do I need my PD (pupillary distance)?
Yes—PD ensures the optical center aligns with your pupils for sharp vision and comfort.
If it’s not on your prescription, follow our PD guide to measure it accurately at home.
For non-prescription orders, PD is not required.
