How do I get a prescription?
If you have one from an eye test taken with the last two years, you can use that. If you need a new prescription, go to your local optician and get your eyes tested. After your eye test, your optician is obliged by law to give you a written copy of your prescription.
Back to top

Can I use my contact lens prescription to order glasses from iWearGlasses?
No. Your prescription for glasses differs from a prescription for contact lenses. You should obtain a prescription for glasses from your optician before ordering prescription glasses.
Back to top

What is my pupillary distance (PD) and how do I measure it?
PD or Pupillary distance simply means the distance between your pupils. This is normally taken by the optician during an eye test but it is not always detailed on your prescription. If you don't know your PD, we will use an average PD measurement for your glasses. This does not harm your eyes and is effective for most customers. Should you find the average PD not to your liking, simply return your glasses within 14 days with your correct PD and we will replace your lenses free of charge.
Note that PD becomes more significant with more powerful lenses.
Back to top

Can iWearGlasses read my prescription off my existing glasses?
Although this is technically possible, you must by law hold a glasses prescription that is less than 2 years old to order prescription glasses. Therefore, we don't provide this service.

What is the iWearGlasses guarantee policy?
Please see our Guarantee Policy

Can you re-glaze my existing frame?
This is not currently available via the website, but is available on demand. Please contact us for more information.

What do the frame measurements mean?
The standard measurements for frames are the maximum diameter of the lenses, bridge width and arm length (See illustration for details). These measurements can normally be found printed on the inside of the arm for comparison to your existing glasses.
