How to Order Prescription Glasses Online: A Step-by-Step Guide

By Iris Bell, Le Seven Prescription & Lens Education Editor

Ordering prescription glasses online is most straightforward when you prepare a few details before you start: a current prescription, your pupillary distance (PD), and a reference pair that fits comfortably.

1. Have your prescription ready

Enter the values exactly as written. If the terms are unfamiliar, our prescription guide explains the common fields. An eye-care professional is the right person to help if you are unsure whether a prescription is current or correct.

2. Measure your PD

PD helps place prescription lenses correctly. Follow our PD guide and measure carefully before checkout.

3. Choose a frame with fit in mind

Use the numbers inside a pair you already like as a reference. Then compare them with the product page and our frame sizes guide. Shape, bridge design and overall width matter as much as any one number.

4. Review the lens choices on the product page

Select the lens option that matches your prescription and use case. Available choices vary by frame and prescription, so rely on the current product-page options rather than assumptions.

5. Check everything once more

• Prescription values match your document.
• PD is entered in the intended field.
• Frame size and color are correct.
• Lens choice is the one you reviewed.

When you are ready, browse our prescription glasses collection and configure the options shown for your selected frame.
