Questions, answered
Will my frames work?
Full-rim and semi-rimless frames, acetate or metal, eyeglasses or sunglasses, all work. Rimless or drilled frames: text us a photo first.
How do I find my PD?
It's often on your prescription. If not, enter what you have and we'll follow up. Most adults fall between 58 and 68.
Which lens thickness do I need?
Standard is included and right for most prescriptions. At ±4.00 or stronger we recommend Thin 1.67; at ±5.50 or stronger, Thinnest 1.74 (eyeglasses). Type your numbers in and we'll suggest one.
What colors can sun lenses be?
Polarized comes in grey, brown or green. Tinted can be almost any color: solid, gradient or mirror from our chart, or a custom shade, made as light or as dark as you like.
Don't have your prescription handy?
