How it works

From frame to finished lenses in four steps

The whole order happens on the site. No phone tag, no emailing your prescription around.

  1. 01

    Pick your frame

    Choose a frame style or send in your own pair with Send My Frame. Tell us prescription or non-prescription.

  2. 02

    Enter your details

    Non-prescription? Just pick your lens. Prescription? Type your Rx and pupil distance right on the site, with no emailing back and forth.

  3. 03

    Snap a fit photo

    Upload a quick photo wearing the glasses. Your PD covers the horizontal, the photo handles the vertical for a precise cut.

  4. 04

    We cut and ship

    A licensed Master Optician cuts your lenses in the lab and ships them ready to wear. Most orders go out fast.

Pupil distance, the horizontal

Your PD tells us exactly where to center each lens left-to-right. It is the measurement most stores get wrong and the reason lenses can feel off.

A fit photo, the vertical

Upload a quick photo wearing the glasses and we set the vertical height too. Together they give you lenses centered exactly where you look.

Straight from the lab

Real lenses, real frames, real customers

Tints, mirrors, Transitions and clips — cut by hand and shipped out. Straight from Dan's feed.
