Are you a busy professional with distinct choices that no one else seems to understand?

Amanda is somewhat like you. She is busy with responsibilities she can’t delegate, both at home and her workplace. But in the process, she has been ignoring her health and happiness. Her eyes are a victim of this ignorance as well.

With no time to spare and no liking for the boring frames and quality available in most stores, she isn’t able to find time to go and get her glasses made.

Most offline stores demand her time, that too with no variety to choose from. After months of ignoring, she found a solution. She not only found the distinct designer styles she desired but that, at a bargain. Here’s what she did and you can too!

How to Buy Prescription Glasses Online

  1. Find Your Frame.

The first and foremost step is to get your personality speaking loud to you about the type of frame it desires. You will have to check your face shape and size.

Decide whether you want cat eyeglasses, round frame glasses, rectangular, rimless, wayfarer, half-rim or bowline type.

Find an online store which not only sells regular frames but also those from luxurious design brands. After all, you must have a variety to choose from.

Next, choose a colour that complements your face. Be careful and peculiar with what you choose as your glasses are going to be an intimate part of your life and a representation of your personality.

2. Click ‘Buy & Select Lenses’.

Once done selecting the frame, it’s time for you to choose the apt lenses. Since you intend to buy prescription glasses, you will have the options ‘Single Vision’ and ‘Progressive Lenses’ at your selected online store.

The Single vision lens is used either for distance or reading rectification. Progressive Lenses aim at providing combined correction for both in addition to an advanced wider view.

3. Choose the Perfect Lens Coating and Lens Package.

Some eyewear companies make lenses already geared with an Anti-reflective and UV protection coating so that you don’t have to worry about paying extra bucks. Make sure you choose one such amazing online store.

Next, you can opt for sunglass tints, digital blue protection, and photochromic lenses based on how you intend to use your glasses.

4. Add Your Latest Prescription.

The next step is only a click away if you have an up-to-date prescription ready. What if you don’t have it?

Unfortunately, this is the only step where most eyewear companies can’t help you online. But, that’s no reason to worry.

Many eyewear companies also have the facility of sending a specialist at your home for you to get an eye test without stepping outside. Why stress over such a thing, when you have a million others to stress about?

5. Get It Delivered.

Next, review your choices. When you are happy with what you are about to get, click on the ‘Add to cart’ button and pay. Once you complete the payment, you will find your glasses right at your doorstep in no time.

Wrapping Up

With a different perspective, your eyeglasses to your body will look no different than what plants are to the Earth. They not only are essential for your well-being but also make you look better.

Choosing the right aesthetic frame is like choosing the right pot. The type of lenses you choose is synonymous with seeds for the plant.

The appropriate lens coating and package that goes well for you, can be looked as soil and the right fertiliser for the seed.

Finally, your prescription can be seen as water that you add to the plant. After all, the pair of glasses (plant) is only an element of design without your prescription (water).

This analogy of the glasses and the plant might not make complete sense. But, I hope the process of buying prescription glasses does.

Time to bring out the unique you with magnificent pieces of eyewear the world has.

By the way, which eyewear brand do you suggest for high-quality eyewear?
