In addition to the lenses, the frames are very important. However, when trying on the different frames, there is more to consider than just your appearance. The way they fit is extremely important to long-term wearability and comfort. The frames must fit your face properly - you should not feel any pressure at the points of contact, such as behind your ear or on your nose. The optician should adapt the sides to the shape of your face so that you do not feel any pressure at your temples, even after wearing your spectacles for extended periods. Optimally adjusted sides exert only a slight pull behind the ear, preventing the weight of the spectacles from putting pressure on your nose. The general rule is that your spectacles fit perfectly when you don't even know you're wearing them.

The frames are optimally positioned when your eyebrows are either above or directly behind the upper edge of the frames. This ensures the best vision, because your view is not impaired by the edge of the frames or the lens. Be careful when selecting the size of your frames: the ideal size is determined by the distance between your eyes and the size of your eye sockets. However, the frames should not be much wider than your face and should never touch your cheekbones. Otherwise the lenses will fog, and pressure points may result on your face. Larger frames are currently trendy and offer comfortable vision and good wearability.

Select your prescription type
When you add the frame to your cart you will be asked whether you wish to purchase single vision lenses, speciality lenses with a blue light filter or an anti-reflective coating, or just the frame. If you are not sure which lenses you need or are interested in purchasing another type of lens, please contact us.
SINGLE VISION LENSES
If you need one type of visual correction, then this is the lens type you need to select. Single vision lenses have one focal distance, if you need bi-focal or progressive lenses please contact us for a personalised consultation. Single vision lenses are used to correct Myopia (nearsightedness), Hyperopia (farsightedness), Presbyopia (age related) and Astigmatism (a defect that causes blurry vision as a result of the curvature of the cornea). You can choose whether or not to add your prescriptions details directly online or whether to send us a copy of the prescription immediately or later on.
NON-PRESCRIPTION LENSES
Choose Non-prescription lenses if you need no visual correction but would like to purchase lenses with an anti-reflective coating or blue-light filter.
Reading your prescription.
OD or Right Eye
OS or Left Eye
OU both eyes
Sphere or Power: this is the strength of correction needed. It is measured in diopters and can range from +20 (positive numbers denote farsightedness) to -20 (negative numbers denote nearsightedness). 0,00 or plano would be perfect vision.
Cyl or cylinder: this is a number only used for correcting astigmatism. When the cornea is not perfectly spherical, cylindrical correction is necessary. Not all prescriptions will have a cylinder value!
Axis: the axis is a number of degrees (between 1 and 180) at which the cylinder will be positioned when mounted.
The PD or Pupillary Distance is the distance between the pupils and is required in order to make sure that the lenses are centered correctly in your glasses. Ad adult PD is normally between 54mm and 74mm and may be expressed as one whole number or two numbers, divided into right PD and left PD.
You may have an ADD value for bifocal o progressive lenses. Please contact us for a personal consultation if you need this type of lens.
There may be a PRISM value on the prescription. Again, please contact us if this is the case. If you have any doubts, please upload the prescription and we will be more than happy to verify it with you. You can choose to insert your prescription information online, upload a copy of the prescription or send it to us later. Our optician will oversee all orders to ensure you get exactly the lenses you need.
Which brand?
We carry several brands of prescription lenses and at this step you can select which brand you prefer. If you dont see your preferred brand or need some help choosing please contact us.

Choose your lenses
After selecting the manufacturer you need to select your lenses. Lenses come in different thicknesses (or indices) and, as a rule of thumb, stronger prescriptions will require thinner lenses with a higher index. Your prescription may already say which lenses you need. If you are unsure, please let us know and we will be happy to assist you.
