Lately, buying designer glasses on the internet has turned into a superb way to make great savings over buying  frames from conventional high-street opticians.

In this post we explain how to get the best deal when ordering designer glasses on the internet.

Get your prescription at hand and then you can commence the buying process. You should know that all optometrists must supply you with your prescription particulars by law. You are not obliged to make a purchase of specs or contact lenses from the optician that undertakes your sight test.

The first thing is to find an online shop by looking on Google for ‘designer glasses’, ‘designer frames’, ‘glasses online’ or a similar phrase – you need to try out a bit. 

Look through the collections of frames on offer to find the pair that provides you the appearance you desire. It’s often valuable if you go to see an optician to try on different frames and find the style you care for, but you can get them much cheaper on the internet.

Have you ever wondered what the row of figures on the inside of your eyewear arms meant – that’s the size description.

You may need a magnifying glass to uncover the figures on the inside of the arms. Inside the arms you ought to find 3 numbers that look something like this 54[]18 135 which are the frames sizes in millimetres.

If you require a pair of glasses with a similar size to your existing ones then take a pair of frames sized within 1 or 2mm.

You will need to pick out the option to indicate if the spectacles are for reading or for distance work.  It’s critical that you show if you need bifocal or varifocal lenses.

If you would like your eyewear lenses to look thinner, and also be a great deal lighter, then you need to choose thinner lenses.

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

If you have difficulties with glare when driving at night then an anti-reflective finish will help out. A UV400 coating will help to shield your eyes from sun damage.

Add a colour tint to convert your designer glasses into classy sunglasses. If you desire lenses that go dark in the sunlight automatically, decide on Transition lenses.

Go for polarizing lenses for very dazzling light settings such as those found when skiing or fishing.

You don’t need to understand your prescription to buy online.   Just key in your information into the order form as it’s revealed in your prescription.

You will need to put in the ‘pupillary distance’ or PD value. This is the length between the centre of the two pupils.  This size may not be laid out on your prescription but the store should indicate you how to measure it.

You can continue to the checkout when you’ve entered all the prescription information.

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