Advice for Ordering Designer Specs On the web

A excellent way to save money is to purchase your designer glasses on the web.

This item  explains how to get the best deal from buying your next pair of designer glasses on the internet.

You need your prescription to hand before you can start the ordering process. You should know that all optometrists must furnish you with your prescription information by law. There is no obligation to buy glasses or contact lenses from the optometrist where you had your sight test.

The first thing is to find an online shop by searching on Google for ‘designer glasses’, ‘designer frames’, ‘glasses online’ or a related phrase – you need to test a bit. 

Go through the variety of frames on available to you and choose a few that you think would look good on you. I find it handy if I’ve already tried on several pairs in a store and know the style that I feel like.

Did you know spectacles frames have a size label just like a pair of trousers or a shirt?

Find the size of your existing specs by searching on the inside of the arms (you may need a magnifying glass). Inside the arms you should find 3 numbers that look something like this 54[]18 135 which are the glasses sizes in millimetres.

Select a frame size within 1 or 2mm of your current frame lens diameter (in the case above, 54mm) and your new frame is likely to be of a comparable size to your current one.

You will have to indicate the option to indicate if the glasses are for reading or for distance work.  It’s critical that you indicate if you require bifocal or varifocal lenses.

Select to have thinner lenses if you fancy your eyewear to be lighter and for the lenses to give the impression of being thinner.

It’s important that you have a scratch resistant coating and most sites will give this as normal.

If you have difficulties with reflections when driving at night then an anti-reflective coating will help out. It’s critical that you safeguard your eyes from sun damage by choosing a UV400 coating.

If you need lenses that go dark in the sunlight automatically, pick Transition lenses.

If you’re going to use your specs in intense light such as when fishing or skiing then you must go for polarized lenses.

You don’t need to comprehend your prescription to order on the web.   Just insert your details into the order form as it’s shown in your prescription.

You will need to insert the ‘pupillary distance’ or PD value. It is the length between the centres of the 2 pupils in millimeters.  This may or may not be shown on your prescription and if not the shop should instruct you how to measure it.

You can go on to the checkout when you’ve put in all the prescription particulars.

After you’ve placed your order, rest. You’ve just saved yourself a lot of hard cash!
