Up until a few years ago, it was unheard of to buy prescription glasses over the internet. The industry has fought hard to change this and now more and more people every day are realising the benefits of buying prescription glasses on-line. Never the less, it is important that anyone looking to buy their glasses over the web exercises caution, and ensures that they buy only from reputable companies.
Step 1 The first thing you must do when buying prescription glasses on-line is to visit your optician and get an up to date prescription. In the UK the optician is legally required to provide you with a copy of your prescription when asked, and many high street opticians will offer “free” eye tests in the hope that you will purchase your prescription glasses from them, you are of course under no obligation to do so, and once you have a copy of your prescription you are free to enjoy the massive savings available on-line.
Step 2 Head on over to your preferable internet optician. Now most on-line opticians operate in the same way,so, the fist thing to do is to select the pair of frames that you would like to turn into your prescription glasses. The site should be divided in to categories, and it should also have a search box available. It’s important to have fun at this stage, make sure you’re not in a rush, or under pressure. Take your time to browse through the frames available, many sites will even allow you to try the frames on at home before buying, and in most cases all you pay for is the postage. They send you the frames you’re interested in, you try them, and then send them back… it’s a really neat idea!
Step 3 Once you have selected the frames you’d like to buy, the next step is to enter your prescription and select your lens options. Most sites will present you with a form into which you can enter the various values and powers that appear on your prescription, they should also make a phone number easily available for you to seek assistance. The lens options are down to personal choice, and you should select those options that suit your personal preferences for prescription glasses.
Step 4 Once your selections are complete simply click the “add to basket” button and follow the steps to make a payment on-line as you would at any other on-line retailer. This is possibly the easiest step, you just need to sit back and wait a few days for your new prescription glasses to arrive in the post!
