A. Bifocals and Progressive Lenses work exactly the same the difference is in the visual appearance. Bifocals usually have a distinct line enhancing the reading portion of the lens prescription and looks like an upside down half moon in the bottom portion of the lens. Progressive lenses also known as called "invisible bifocals" or "no line bifocals" also allow you to see in the distance through the top of the lens and do your reading in the bottom portion of the lens.

This accurately measures the center the lenses in the glasses that you have purchased. Click here to read about measuring your Pupilary Distance.

A. Online retailers do not accept health insurance for eyeglass lenses. Simply send your insurance company a copy of our invoice and they will reimburse you for the cost of your prescription as well as the cost of your purchase. Check with your insurance company on the total reimbursement amount. Many insurance companies also have us do the work and provide to them your invoice. We can certainly do this for you without a problem. We will be happy to assist you in any way that we can so that you get your full reimbursement.
Q. How long does it take to receive my item?
A. All orders for prescription eyeglasses, sunglasses and custom lense replacements are considered a be a special order. These orders do not follow the standard 72 hours processing time. Prescription orders could take up to seven business days to ship. Once the prescription work is complete you will receive a tracking number so you can track your shipment online.
Q. What is your returns policy on prescription orders?
A. All prescription lenses are guaranteed to be manufactured according to the prescription that the customer either enters online or sends to us via fax or email. All eyeglasses are inspected during the manufacturing process for accuracy of the prescription and cosmetic appearance. Unfortunately since the lens is made custom for the client, you may NOT return any frame with prescription lenses for a refund. If the prescription does not conform to the original prescription written by the doctor, we will gladly redo the lens once its confirmed by a 3rd party by the customer that the RX is in fact wrong. You have 7 days to notify us of a problem with the lenses and you have 14 days to send them back for a redo if there is a problem. There are no refunds on prescription orders.
Q. What is your exchange policy on prescription orders?
A. We understand its hard to shop online for prescription glasses. You may have not tried it on and didnt realize you dont like the fit or style. While we do not accept returns on the lens portion, we will gladly find a unique way to resolve your issue on a case by case basis. A solution can be as easy us doing your prescription in an alternate frame style and charging you a discounted price on the lens. We will then accept back the original frame under the standard returns policy on non prescription eyewear. In order to have this unique situation resolved please call one of our friendly customer service representatives.
Q. What is your cancellation policy on prescription orders?
A. Once you place an order for prescription eyewear many events are triggered.
  • The eyewear you ordered is ordered from our supplier.
  • The lenses that you ordered are ordered from the lab.
  • The lab has started to cut the lenses.
    Due to the uncertainty of the progression of completion, Prescription orders may not be cancelled, under any circumstances.
