Thin lenses are used in our rimless glasses to provide extra strength. Currently, we do not offer glass lenses.

A: The standard size is D28 – these are 28mm wide ‘D’ shaped segments that are positioned 3mm below the center of the lens vertically and they are centered on your pupillary distance horizontally. If you need them to be positioned further up, please state this on your order form.

Q: How long will my glasses take to be delivered?
A: Our terms state that delivery CAN take up to 28 days but delivery is usually no-longer than 14 days. Delivery is also subject to the complexity of the prescription and coatings. Delivery time does not include the 3-5 day processing time.
Please enter ALL the numbers for the categories in your prescription – they are what we use to determine which lenses you will need.
Q: Can I use my contact lens prescription for ordering prescription eyeglasses?
A: Unfortunately, no, we cannot accept prescriptions meant for contact lenses in place of prescriptions designed for eyeglasses. Doctors make small changes to contact lens prescriptions that they do not make to prescription eyeglasses. We recommend asking your optician for an eyeglass prescription.
Q: What is my pupillary distance (PD)?
A: Pupillary distance simply means the distance between your pupils.
Q: How do I find out what my pupillary distance (PD) is?
A: In order for our glasses to perform at their best, we need to create lenses that can match the distance between your eyes, so the center of each lens aligns with the center of your pupils. For this reason, we need your pupillary distance measurement – also known as the PD measurement.
Unfortunately, many opticians don’t include your PD in the prescription. However, you can ask your optician for it directly during your eye exam. If you already have your prescription, we can make your glasses using the average PD measurement. While it works well for most customers, it can cause discomfort or strain for others. If you have a strong prescription or your PD is significantly differently from the average, you may experience some problems with eyeglasses that have the average PD measurement.
Pupillary distance CAN be measured on your own with a tape measure. If you chose to measure your own PD, please do so in millimeters. Simply have someone measure from the middle of the left pupil through to the middle of the right pupil. Make sure you are looking straight forward at a distant object.
Average PD is about 62mm and most people fall within the 54 to 74 range. If your number is outside this range, you might be making a mistake. Please do not guess or assume your PD.
Occasionally, PD is written like 32/34.5 (for example), which means the measurement from the center of the nose to either eye, and your PD is the sum of the two – 32+34.5=66.5 (Mono R + Mono L = PD) and you can enter this as 66 or 67.
In your measurement, if you are off by a millimeter or two it’s OK. Try to be as accurate as possible, especially for progressive lenses.
You may also be able to get your PD from a previous optician. Unlike a prescription, your PD does not expire with age. Opticians are required, under federal law, to give you your PD as well as your full prescription. It is considered to be your property.
Q: How do I read my prescription?
A: Having problem with reading your prescription? Click here for our prescription reading guide If you prefer you can also send us your prescription by email or via Fax and our opticians will read your prescription for you, with no any extra charge.
Q: I can’t read my prescription very well, what do I do?
A: If you prefer, you can also send us your prescription by e-mail or via Fax and our opticians will read your prescription for you, with no any extra charge. Simply scan your prescription and e-mail it to prescription @ glassesusa.comcom or fax it to: 1-888-250-6925. Note: When sending your prescription by fax or by e-mail – please write your full name and order confirmation number given to you at the end of the order
Q: Can you read my prescription off my old/current lenses?
A: No, we cannot. Due to varying state laws, we are prohibited from doing so.
