How to buy glasses online

It is important to choose the right pair of glasses that both give you perfect vision but also speaks to you as a fashion accessory. Though you can always visit us in store for all your eye wear needs, we have made it easier than ever for you to buy glasses online, no matter your prescription or preferences.

Step 2 - Reading, distance or varifocal?

You will be given the option between reading or distance glasses.

Distance means you’ll mainly use your glasses for seeing things in the distance, like when you’re driving or watching TV. If you are short-sighted you’ll likely need distance glasses.

If you are in need of glasses that will help you see things up close you’ll want to choose reading glasses. For more tips on choosing the right glasses for you, you can see our buyer’s guide, which has more information on frame size, prescription and lens add-ons.

Varifocal are lenses that correct vision at different distances and you have a prescription for distance and reading.

Note: Varifocal lenses are positioned based on the frame depth for online orders. In store Varifocal orders are precisely measured by an optical expert.
