Eyewear
What measurements does Eyeconic need?
To position your prescription lenses correctly in your frames, we’ll need your PD, or pupillary distance. This is the distance, in millimeters, between the centers of your pupils. Most prescriptions don’t include it. At Eyeconic, we’ll use a standard PD, collect your PD from your prescribing eye doctor, or you can measure it yourself using our third-party online PD measurement tool when you check out. Just let us know if your glasses are for reading or for distance to ensure a more accurate measurement. It’s just another way Eyeconic brings expert personal service to online shopping.
Am I able to buy progressives?
You sure can! Whether you call them progressives or no-line bifocals, don't worry, we've got you covered.
How do I know that I have a prescription for progressive lenses?
Great question! If you have a prescription for progressive lenses, your ADD (additional) power value will be greater than 0 (e.g. +1.75). If your prescription has no ADD value or a value of 0, you have a single-vision prescription. To avoid cancellation, do not order progressive lenses if you have a single-vision prescription.
What about measurements on progressive lenses?
Progressives require a measurement called segment height, or seg height. It’s unique to each individual frame – and not a general measurement that a patient gets at the doctor’s office. We use a fancy algorithm to calculate seg height, based on the frames you select. You don’t have to provide any additional information, we’ll take care of everything.
Can you recommend a doctor if I don’t have a current prescription?
Definitely. We partner with a network of 38,000 doctors. Use our Find A Doctor tool to find a doctor near you.
How do I know if I have a current prescription?
The best way is to check with your doctor's office before placing your order. Check out our example of a valid prescription. Your current prescription should include:
- Patient Name
- Valid Expiration Date
- Prescribing Doctor
- Prescription Information
- Don’t have a copy of your prescription? No worries, just give us your prescribing doctor’s contact info (also during the checkout process), and we’ll take care of it!
If we receive an image of the prescription, we’re able to verify it based on the submission of a valid prescription form.
Note: An eye exam is recommended every year. As a rule, you shouldn’t go longer than two years between eye exams. You may need to have your eyes examined more often if you have a family history of eye diseases, diabetes, if you have generally poor health, or you’re taking medications that may have potential side effects on the eyes.
When do I enter my prescription?
During the checkout process, you will be asked to upload an image of your current prescription. Check out our example of a prescription to upload. Don’t have a copy of your prescription? No worries, we’ll contact your prescribing doctor to gather all the info for you!.
How do I upload my current prescription?
First things first, you’ll need to snap a photo of or scan your current prescription and save it to your computer or mobile device. Check out our example of a prescription. Image of your current prescription must include:
- Patient Name
- Valid Expiration Date
- Prescribing Doctor
- Prescription Information
- Don’t have a copy of your prescription? No worries, just give us your prescribing doctor’s contact info (also during the checkout process), and we’ll take care of it!
At checkout, scroll down to the PRESCRIPTION section and use the UPLOAD AN IMAGE option. Then follow these steps:
- Enter patient’s first and last name.
- Click, CHOOSE A PHOTO and select the image of your current prescription that you had previously saved. We accept image files in JPG, PNG and PDF format.
- Select "I authorize..."
- Select NEXT STEP
Is there a purchase limit for eyewear?
You may purchase up to five pairs of glasses and/or sunglasses at a time. We’ll contact you to verify any purchase of six pairs or more.
Can I buy VR lenses for Meta Quest?
While we do not carry prescription lens inserts for Meta Quest, we do carry frames that may fit while using the headset. Make sure the frames are no more than 142mm wide and the lens height is no more than 50mm for the best VR experience. See below to learn more.
How can I tell if my frames will fit under my Meta Quest VR?
We can’t guarantee your frames will fit under your device, but we can give you a few pointers. To get a rough idea if your selected frames will fit, you can add the lens width (x2) to the bridge width listed on the site to make sure you’re well under the 142mm limit. This calculation doesn’t account for the frames themselves, so we also recommend choosing frames that are wire-rimmed or thin metal/plastic to get the best results.
Contacts
What is the difference between a routine eye exam and a contact lens exam?
Routine eye exams are an important preventive measure for maintaining your overall health and wellness. During an eye exam, an eye doctor can look for vision problems and signs of serious medical conditions such as glaucoma, cataracts, diabetes, and even cancer.
Because contact lenses rest directly on your eyes, a contact lens prescription can differ greatly from an eyeglass prescription. Your eye doctor will perform special tests during a contact lens exam to evaluate your vision with contacts. The surface of your eye will be measured to determine what size and type of contacts are best for you. A tear film evaluation may also be performed to make sure you have enough tears to comfortably wear contacts.
Can I use my eyeglass prescription to order my contacts?
No. Eyeglass prescriptions differ from contact lens prescriptions. See your doctor to get a valid and accurate contact lens prescription.
Can I get colored contacts?
Yes! But only if your doctor has prescribed them to you.
Do you offer trial lenses?
Not at this time, but you can visit your doctor to learn about your options.

The taxes we charge on merchandise are based on state and local tax laws and tax rates. Where required, tax is also applied to the shipping and handling charges. If you return an item for a refund, the refund includes the taxes you paid for that item. There is no refund for taxes paid on shipping and handling; shipping and handling charges are non-refundable as soon as an item has shipped.

Virtual Try-On
How do I use Virtual Try-On?
You can locate the Virtual Try-On tool on eyewear product pages. Completing your virtual try-on is easy. Find your favorite frames and try them on in one of 2 ways:
- Use your camera to start an interactive virtual session. See how each frame will look from different angles.
- Upload a photo to see how each frame will look.
What are the technical requirements to start a Virtual Try-On session?
- Make sure the camera on your laptop or computer is enabled. It can be built in or attached separately. If you are using your mobile phone or tablet, make sure it has a camera.
- For computers and laptops, we support the latest versions of Firefox, Safari, Chrome, Edge, and Mac OS. For mobile phones and tablets, we support iOS Safari and the latest version of Chrome for Android.
What are some tips for using Virtual Try-On?
- Make sure you have even lighting on your entire face. Facing a window is a great way to get nice, natural light on your face. Good lighting helps us detect your features more accurately and will give you better information about the coloring of the glasses on your face. If you wear glasses, keep them on because the Virtual Try-On tool will remove them and replace them with the frame you’ve selected.
- If uploading a photo, make sure it is a front-facing photo taken with good lighting.
- Put your hair behind your ears and give your best smile!
Is my Virtual Try-On session or photo stored anywhere?
Any data or cookies from your session may be saved locally on your computer or mobile device but will not be stored by Eyeconic or Fittingbox, our third-party Virtual Try-On partner.
