What information do I need to order glasses?
Glassesonweb.com can install single vision prescription lenses for you. We do NOT install multifocal lenses (progressive, bifocal, or trifocal) into your eye glasses. You can order eyeglass frames without lenses, and then take the frames to a local optical professional to have the lenses installed. To order prescription lenses for your eyewear, you will need to visit an eye doctor (ophthalmologist or optometrist) and have an eye exam. During your eye exam, ask them to measure you pupillary distance (“PD”), and write your PD down on your prescription. Once you have your prescription and PD, you can order prescription lenses. To order, click on the lenses link at the top of any page of our website. This will take you to the lens wizard, which will guide you through the process of uploading your information to the website and selecting a lens.

How long does it take to get my order?
The processing time is different depending on type of product. Some products available on stock and some should be ordered from warehouse.
Occasionally, during the lens installation process frames or lenses become damaged and need to be reordered and reprocessed. This can add to the overall time that it will take to get your eye glasses.
Normally we are able to ship frames without lenses two business days after the order date. However, if we notice a problem with your product we will have to reorder the item from the warehouse, which will add two days to your overall delivery time. Occasionally, eyeglass frames and sunglasses can be backordered or discontinued without notice, adding additional time to your order. Order delivery time can be affected at every stage by weather conditions in your area, and by holidays. Order delivery time is depend on shipping method you select at checkout stage.
