We know your first time may be a little daunting, so to help, we have developed a guide to help you start on the right foot. Check out our simple guide and discover how to place an order for glasses at Eyemate in just a few simple steps.
1. Choose Your Frames
Purchasing eyeglasses online starts with choosing your frames. This is usually the most time-consuming part of the process, as it involves the most personal choice. If you already have a frame in mind, you can type it in the search bar and find the color you want. If you don't have a frame in mind, choosing your frames is a little easier when you keep the following things in mind.
You are likely well aware of the most and least flattering clothing styles on your body. You can say the same thing about eyewear. Certain frame shapes will compliment your features, while others may emphasize the wrong attributes. The good news is you can usually predict the best frames for your face using your face shape.
Frame color is the last thing to consider when choosing a set of frames, but it can be one of the most important things in determining the style and overall look of your new eyewear. This is all up to your keen eye and deciding what looks best on you. Most frames come in several colors so you will never feel trapped in choosing one color on a frame you love.
2. How to Add a Prescription to Glasses
Once you have selected the types of frames and lenses you want in your glasses, the next step is customizing your frames and lenses to your unique specifications with your prescription.
While the look of your glasses is important, their functionality is crucial. The quality and features of your lenses contribute most to your satisfaction with your eyewear, and you should pay particularly close attention to the options available to you. The lens thickness you choose is an important first step. Check out our lens index page for more info on this. Some of the things to keep in mind when placing an order for RX glasses include:
Once you have everything selected and input, double-check all of the values one more time to ensure you are ordering the correct frame, lenses, coatings, etc. Once you are sure of your order, you can enter your payment information in the secure Eyemate checkout portal. We take care of everything beyond that point. With those simple steps, you will have a new pair of custom prescription glasses on your doorstep in seven to 14 business days for Rx lenses.
