Optical Lenses Online

Only a tiny percent of people buy optical lenses online, but that may change as more companies offer the convenience of web shopping for prescription glasses.

There are many different companies offering optical lenses online. Some of them have been around for years and are accredited with the Better Business Bureau. These companies usually have several customer reviews that you can read to get an impression of the company. Other companies are recent startups that have very little information about them.

39 Dollar Glasses is one of the most popular sites for online shopping. Most of their glasses have a base price of $39 with additions costing a bit more. They are accredited with the Better Business Bureau.

Zenni Optical is another web-based company that has a simple website with low prices. They have a large selection of frame styles and several choices of lens, some of them included in the base price.

EyeBuyDirect is another online retailer selling optical lenses online. They allow a variety of payment methods; however, their variety of frames at the cheapest price is very small.

Most of the retailers online guide you through the process of buying optical lenses online. They explain the process and the optical terms so you understand what you are looking for. The key to getting the right lenses is making sure you have the right measurements, especially the pupillary distance or PD.

The downside of purchasing optical lenses online is that you won’t actually get to try them on before purchase. The closest you can get is by downloading a photo of you to the website.

Research the company you choose and make sure they have a good reputation and offer the selection you want. Make sure you have a store that will do adjustments on someone else’s product.
