Purchasing prescription eyeglasses online:

Yesterday I was just reading through few blog’s and I came across one article which says “Best online glasses” The editor mentioned that he use to work for industry and recommended that you need to be careful while searching for eyeglasses online. He specially focused on cheap prescription eyeglasses online and cheap glasses do not last long. He has also mentioned that the frames and the lenses that used are of cheap imported quality and the lenses are of low quality but I am not too sure what he actually means. I have been in optical business for more than 10 years and have worked for one of the reputed online retailer for 4 years and as per my experience this has not been the case.

To focus on cheap quality imported frames well as per my experience there are only 2 types of frames designer frames and non branded frames. The only difference of these 2 frames are one has a brand name and the quality of course will be perfect as compared to high price and then next lot is Non-Branded frames. Non branded frames are much cheaper than the branded frames. Material will be the same just that the finishing will be a concern but compared to the price you are paying it is good so I actually do not understand what cheap quality imported frames are??

Moving onto low optical quality lenses. Most of the online retailers use branded lenses like Essilor and Zeiss however there are some stock lenses that they use. Before delivering the glasses the lenses pass through several tests where the prescription accuracy and other tests like UV protection is tested for the lenses. If a lenses of Essilor and non branded lenses have the same results under what basis has he mentioned low optical quality lenses?

To tell you frankly I have been wearing glasses which are sold at $6.48 online for the past 6 months and I have had no problem with the eyeglass frame or the lenses. If you are looking to buy prescription eyeglasses at reasonable price do think of opticstoreonline.com we offer large variety of prescription eyeglasses and prescription sunglasses.

What is 20/20 vision?


20/20 vision is a term used to express normal vision (the clarity or sharpness of vision) from a distance of 20 feet. If you have a 20/20 vision it means if stand 20 feet away from the vision chart you can see what the "normal" human being can see. In other words, you vision is normal.

If you have a 20/40 vision, it means that when you stand 20 feet away form the vision chart you can see what a normal person can see from 40 feet away. Higher the denominator value weaker is your eye.

You can also have vision that is better than normal. A person can have a 20/10 vision, which means that what he can see from 20 feet away, a normal person can see it at a distance of 10 feet from the chart.

Some people can see well at a distance, but are unable to bring nearer objects into focus. This condition can be caused by hyperopia (farsightedness) or presbyopia (loss of focusing ability). Others can see items that are close, but cannot see those far away. This condition may be caused by myopia (nearsightedness).

How to Choose the Best Fit Prescription Eyeglasses Online


Many of us wonder if the glasses purchase online will fit or not or how the product would be once like the lens thickness and we do not opt not to buy online though we get the best price as compared to the local store. But by keeping few thing in mind and doing your home work well will definitely solve the problem and you can buy the same glasses at the best available price.

Frame Size:

Know the frame size for your face is the most important aspect of purchasing glasses online. Many people suggest that the size of the spectacle frames can be taken from the inside of the left or right temple arm however this will only give you the basic size of the frame like the Lens width, bridge width and the temple arm size. But the size that is required to know the best fit glasses is the total width of the frame. Total width of the frame is actually the size of the forehead. You will be able to find similar frames with the basic size that is of lens width, bridge and the temple arm however the frames could be of kids since you will not be able to try the glasses and hence these glasses will not fit your face.

To measure the total size of the frame you will need a millimeter ruler and a pair of glasses that fits you. Now place the ruler at the temple near the rim of the frame and make sure that the zero is placed at the inside of the temple arm. Now take the reading at the inside of the temple arm of the other side it should be approximately 135mm for an adult and for kids it will be around 110-120 mm.

Once you note the total width of the frames you may note the size on a piece of paper for your reference and then you can search for the frames online which has a total with around same value. If there is a difference of + - 5 mm the frames will fit. Once you find a fame with the similar total width you can match the other basic frame size.

With conventional bifocal or trifocal lenses the most common problem that is faced by the user is the “Image jump”. Which means when the eye moves from distance region to reading region the power transition is abrupt.
