Tips to buy Prescription Glasses Online

May 13, 2020

If you think tape and glue will no longer do it for your glasses, it’s time for you to get a brand new pair online. With a wide range of frames to select from, online eyewear stores, especially Specscart offer great glasses at half the price.

As someone buying prescription glasses online for the first time, you may have your doubts. But fret not, because we have all the best tips for you!

  • Keep your prescription handy and know your PD

If you are reading this blog, chances are, you have already had an eye test done! Your prescription should be usually less than two years old if you want to buy glasses online. In your prescription, SPH stands for sphere and this usually corrects near-sightedness or far-sightedness. CYL or cylindrical vision measurements in the prescription are used to correct astigmatism. You may also have +/- signs accompanying the SPH and CYL numbers on your prescription. A ‘+’ sign usually denotes a pair of reading glasses and a ‘- ’sign is used if you have problems seeing things far away!

Secondly, knowing your Pupillary Distance or PD is important. This is because if you have new glasses altered for your PD, you don’t have to stress your eyes while adjusting to your new pair of glasses.

When ordering online, it’s great to keep your prescription or a photo of the prescription handy. Specscart provides you the option to upload a photo of the prescription so that you don’t have to take the pains to enter it manually, but you can enter it manually too. We also provide an option to send us your prescriptions via email after you’ve ordered a pair of glasses.

  • Select frames that complement your face shape

Your face shape greatly determines what frames look good on you. So, it’s a good idea to know your face shape and see which frames are best for you! There are dozens of guides online and you can go through our collection of blogs for heart, diamond, triangle, oval and round-shaped faces.

  • Browse before you buy

Online eyewear stores usually have a wide range of glasses, brands that you can choose from. It is always a good idea to look at the frame shapes, material, and brand before you buy.

Glasses frames are manufactured from a variety of materials, including acetate, plastic, and titanium. Even the lenses come in a variety of materials and with several coatings. We at Specscart offer anti-UV, anti-glare, anti-scratch, and blue light protection coatings.

  • Read more about delivery and return policies

As someone buying frames online, you should know when your spectacles are going to be delivered and whether or not you can return them if there is a problem.

At Specscart, we dispatch most of our frames within the next 24 hours and have great return policies.

  • Try-at-home is an option!

Yes, many online eyewear retailers give customers options to order frames and try them at home for free. This means you can try frames at home without any pressure for buying.

At Specscart, we provide you 4 frames to try on glasses at home for a week for free..Like anything at Specscart? Get 4 free frames to try at home for a week.

  • Read customer reviews

Reading customer reviews is a great way to know about the quality of glasses that any online store sells. This helps you make the best decisions for your money!

These tips are sure to help you while buying prescription glasses online! So, go get your first pair of glasses from Specscart and tell us how they were. Happy Shopping!
