Buying Frames Online
High-Tech Lenses for the Digital Age
Whether you are searching for a particular frame and lens style or simply browsing,
you're sure to find eyewear that's perfect for your face, and your prescription.
Below are some tips to take the guesswork out of ordering eyewear online.
Knowing Your Frame Size:
When selecting prescription glasses or sunglasses at FramesDirect, it's helpful to
know what size frame will fit you. You can find this information easily by
looking at a pair of frames you may currently own, or by visiting a local
optical store.
In the event you already have a pair of frames that you would
like to purchase again or even find a pair of frames similar, you can
quickly identify the designer name, model number, and frame size by simply
looking on the inside of your glasses temples (arm pieces). Below you'll
find a quick guide to helping you identify your glasses.
Note: Every frame has the same markings on the temples (arm pieces)
or behind the bridge (nose area) as shown here.
- Model Name:
Calvin Klein 338
- Color Name:
"Purple" or color # 80
- Size:
(Two numbers) "Eye size" and "bridge size",
for example 48-19 or 52-20.
- Temple Length:
(Arm pieces) Usually between
120 and 150

Have Your Prescription Handy:
When purchasing lenses
for your prescription eyewear, be sure to have a copy of your
prescription. You may either fax, e-mail a scanned copy, or provide
FramesDirect with your doctor's name and phone number so we
may contact your doctor directly. You may fax a copy of your
prescription to 00-1-713-914-0088 or email a scanned copy to
prescription@framesdirect.com.
Have Your PD Taken:
A PD Measurement or Pupil
Distance can be taken at any optical store or
from your doctor, and many optical stores will provide
this service free of charge.
DO NOT measure your own PD. A PD measurement
MUST BE measured by an authorized optical professional
only.
