3 Things You Need to Buy Glasses Online


 
E-Commerce,Fashion & Cosmetics,Health
Buying overpriced and expensive eyewear is a thing of the past. Nowadays almost everything is sold online, so if you’re in the market for a new pair of prescription eyeglasses, be sure to check out what your online options are before taking the plunge. To ensure that the eyeglasses you receive are perfect, you will need to focus on these three main issues before placing your order:

1) First and foremost, get an eye exam.
The last thing anyone wants to end up with is a headache from eye strain. Even the slightest difference in prescription power can overwork the eye muscles, so for those who are 18 years old and younger, it’s recommended to get an annual eye check up. During one’s developing years, it’s important to get comprehensive eye exams to monitor eye health. Having the correct eyeglasses prescription will ensure better production throughout the school year as well. For adults under the age of 40, you can get away with having an eye exam every two to three years. Between the ages of about 20 to 40, eye degradation usually plateaus. If you’re over 40, it’s recommended to get checked every year again.
Got your prescription? ...Good.

Next: 2) Find a style and size of frame that works for you.
Here’s where things get tricky. When buying eyeglasses frames online, you’re not given the option of being able to try multiple frames at one time like you would at your local optician. So here’s your homework: Go to a local optician and try on frames. You don’t have to buy them, right? You’re just trying them on to find the right style and size. Eyeglasses come in a plethora of styles and materials so be sure to try on as many different styles as possible to find the ones that highlight your best features. When it comes to choosing the right size, once you’ve tried on several frames and have found a pair that suits you, check the dimension of the frame. It’s rather common for manufacturers to print the dimensions of the frame on the inner part of the temple piece. Usually you will see a set of three numbers like 50 - 18 - 140. The first number represents the width of the lens. The smallest number refers to the width of the bridge and the largest number spans the entire width of the front of the glasses. If the numbers aren’t printed on the inside of the temple piece, then you will have to measure them on your own. All measurements must be in millimeters. If you don’t have a measuring device with millimeters, google offers a quick and and easy solution with an online conversion tool.

Once you have the right dimensions, go to your preferred optical online store and search for frames in your specific size category. Remember, it’s not a perfect science so if one of the dimensions is off by 1 or 2 millimeters, it won’t make much of a difference.

Lastly, 3) Make sure you have your PD or Pupillary Distance.
The PD is the distance between the pupils of your eyes. This is important to have when ordering your eyeglasses online because the technician making your glasses, will need to know where exactly to place the center focal point on the lenses and where to align them in the frame. Your eye doctor may not want to give you your PD measurement in fear that you will purchase your glasses elsewhere, know your rights as a patient and make sure they provide you with this number. If all efforts have been exhausted and you end up walking away without your PD, all is not lost. You can easily measure your PD with the assistance of a friend. Again, the measurement is taken in millimeters. The PD is especially important if you’re ordering multifocal lenses. For bi-focal lenses or progressive lenses, you will need to have a near PD for the magnification at the lower portion of the lens.
