High-Tech Lenses for the Digital Age
Whether you are searching for a particular frame and lens style or simply browsing, you're sure to find eyewear that's perfect for your face, and your prescription. Below are some tips to take the guesswork out of ordering eyewear online.
Knowing Your Frame Size:
When selecting eyeglasses or sunglasses at FramesDirect.com, it's helpful to know what size frame will fit you. You can find this information easily by looking at a pair of frames you may currently own, or by visiting a local optical store.
In the event you already have a pair of frames that you would like to purchase again or even find a pair of frames similar, you can quickly identify the designer name, model number, and frame size by simply looking on the inside of your eyeglass temples (arm pieces). Below you'll find a quick guide to helping you identify your eyeglasses.
Note: Every frame has the same markings on the temples (arm pieces) or behind the bridge (nose area) as shown here.

Have Your Prescription Handy:
When purchasing
lenses
for your prescription eyewear, be sure to have a copy of your prescription. You may either fax, e-mail a scanned copy, or provide FramesDirect.com with your doctor's name and phone number so we may contact your doctor directly. You may fax a copy of your prescription to 512-288-4149 or email a scanned copy to
prescription@framesdirect.com
.
Have Your PD Taken:
A PD Measurement or
Pupil Distance
can be taken at any optical store or from your doctor, and many optical stores will provide this service free of charge.
DO NOT measure your own PD. A PD measurement MUST BE measured by an authorized optical professional only.
