5 Mistakes to Avoid When Buying Eyewear Online

1. Avoiding Frame Size

Measuring frame size is simple. Check the numbers inside your old glasses’ temple arm: lens width (40–60mm), bridge width (14–24mm), and temple length (120–150mm). Use a ruler or digital caliper for accuracy.

2. Ignoring the Specs

Lenses come in different types for specific vision needs. Single vision lenses correct one issue near sightedness. Bifocals combine distance and reading prescriptions. Progressive lenses offer a seamless transition between multiple prescriptions.

3. Virtual Try-On Matters

Virtual try-ons have transformed online eyewear shopping. Using AR and facial recognition, they show how frames look on your face in real-time. Unlike in-store fittings, you can browse endless styles from home and get instant feedback.

5. Price Over Quality

Eyeglasses are everyday essentials, and quality matters more than price. Durable frames and protective lenses ensure comfort, clarity, and long-term value. Cheap options may save upfront but often lead to replacements and eye strain. Balance quality with price your vision deserves it.

4. Return Policy Blindspot

Online eyewear shopping is convenient but risky, as photos can mislead and fit matters. Return policies are often stricter for prescription glasses, with partial refunds, credits, or restocking fees.
