Where to Shop Online for Your Next Pair of Glasses

If you’re on a search for new frames, we have you covered.

If you can order contact lenses online, why not glasses, too? Shopping for frames has now become easier and more accessible than browsing the options at your local optometrist. Not only are you more likely to save money, but you’ll also find a variety of fashionable and stylish frames. Come prepared with your current prescription and get started.

In addition to prescription, you’ll need your pupillary distance. This is the measurement between the center of each of your pupils. It basically helps to determine where you look through your lenses. You can find this measurement on your own, but a doctor will be able to give you a more precise number. If you have progressive lenses (three prescriptions in one pair of glasses) or another special-case scenario, consider shopping in-person because your needs may not be entirely met by online retailers. Most websites accept different vision insurance plans, so check to see if you’re covered!

If you like being able to try on actual frames when finding new glasses, you can still get a similar experience when shopping online. A lot of websites feature an at-home try-on option to easily find a style that suits you. Many sites also offer a return policy, so if you’re not completely satisfied with your frames you can make another selection.

Convinced shopping for glasses online is for you? Here are the best online glasses retailers to buy from in 2021.
