How to Buy Your Glasses Online

With the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, people are being urged to stay home to avoid the spread of this Novel Coronavirus. At SmartBuyGlasses, you can order prescription glasses online from the safety of your home. When it comes to your prescription eyeglasses, extra precaution matters. Follow these simple steps to buying your next pair of prescription glasses online.

Step 1: Get Your Prescription

The process of buying prescription eyeglasses online still involves a visit to the optometrist (unless you’re looking for plano glasses or reading glasses). Your doctor is responsible for clearly identifying your vision problems, writing a prescription, explaining technical terms, and addressing your eye care needs.

For custom-made eyeglasses, you can also seek the services of opticians. They’re able to measure your pupillary distance (PD) to determine the exact placement of the center of the lenses for accuracy. Knowing your PD (and getting it verified by a professional) is a key step in getting yourself some prescription lenses that really work.

Step 2: Get the Right Frame

If you already have frames in mind, you can easily search through our website and order online (in order to follow the suggested precautions for stopping the spread of COVID-19). You can choose from our top brands such as Tom FordOakleyRay-Ban and Persol. Get over 70% off designer frames today at SmartBuyGlasses!

Frame Shape

The eyeglasses of your choice should complement your face and highlight your favorite facial attributes. Before you buy eyeglasses online, you should get to know your face shape a little better. You’ll know if your face is oval, round, square, diamond, or heart shape by simply looking in the mirror. Then, you can check out this guide – it’s packed full of our recommendations for suitable eyewear!

Frame Size

While you consider eyeglasses frame sizes for fashion, it’s best to determine the correct measurements for your face. Big frames can make your face look smaller while small frames can make your face look bigger. Too loose, your eyeglasses might slip off, while too narrow might cause improper blood flow and discomfort!

If you have an old pair of eyeglasses that suit you well, you can check the measurements engraved at the temples. It’s worth taking into account that your glasses, over time, will also ‘break in’ and become more comfortable – so don’t be discouraged if that cool new pair that you’ve just bought feels a little small.

Frame Materials

Eyeglasses frames are made of plastic, acetate, metal, and titanium. Well-known brands such as Persol and Tom Ford are known for their premium materials – but that’s not the only route to consider when buying glasses online. We’re talking about SmartBuy Collection. They’re also made from high-quality materials but come at a much easier price point. Check them out!

Frame Colors

Once you’ve decided on your new frames’ shape, size, brand and materials, you can proceed to choose the best color for you. Most of the time, the designs that you know and love are available in a wide range of colors. Have a look at Ray-Ban Wayfarers, for example.

Step 3: Enter Your Prescription to Choose Lenses and Coatings

Once you’ve decided on the frames, you can submit your prescription at checkout. At SmartBuyGlasses, you can do it manually each time you purchase, OR upload it to our system so we can quickly ship you the glasses you need without you having to worry about tracking those evasive prescriptions down.

Your prescription may mean you might be required to have single-vision or multi-vision lenses. However, you can still decide the lens materials and thickness at checkout. Check out this lens index chart to find out which one is most suitable for your vision correction needs!

We also follow up our customers’ burning questions with our Ask the Optician section. Here, you’ll find expert-led advice about a range of topics from our in-house optician team.

zFORT® Blue Light Blocking Glasses

Blue light is a potentially harmful form of light. While it is naturally emitted by the sun, electronic devices (upon which we’re spending more and more time every day) are also high-level producers. Blue light rays at a wavelength between 415nm – 455nm can damage your retinal cells, which may lead to premature eye ageing and vision problems in the future.

Our exposure to these harmful light rays may also cause a range of other health problems, including poor sleep (according to a 2012 Harvard Medical School study). Find out more about how to protect your eyes from blue light with anti blue light glasses from zFORT® .
