If you are thinking about buying a new pair of prescription glasses and want to order glasses online, this video will walk you through it. Buying glasses online can be a great way to find cheap, affordable eyewear, but can be a little tricky if you are not sure what to look for. To order prescription glasses online, there are many considerations to account for regarding the size and shape of the glasses frame and what glasses lenses may be best for you.

**PRO TIP**
No matter where you buy your glasses it is always best to have them professionally adjusted to improve their fit and comfort. It will help you see better too.

If you are looking to purchase online glasses, it is important to continue seeing your eye doctor yearly for eye health evaluations. Although you may be seeing well, many eye diseases may creep up without affecting your eyesight until it's too late.

Do you have any questions about finding glasses??? Please let me know!

So glad to see an optometrist not threatened by online glasses. I get the service opticians provide, but when they start refusing to give me my PD and trashing online stores to justify charging me 5x-7x the price I lose interest in giving them my hard earned $. I let myself fall for it a few years back and paid over $600 for a pair that is inferior to my $80 Zennis. I would gladly pay an optician a reasonable fee to help with size, fit, shape, PD, etc. for reasonably priced glasses, but instead I feel like I'm buying a car at a shady dealer. Thank you for being an honest optician. Happy to support your channel and happy for your success! Congrats on over 1M subs.

I have worn glasses for 32 years now, this is one of the most helpful videos out there.

This video is fantastic. A while ago, I had to order glasses online because the glasses that I got from the eye doctor's office was way too big. They seemed big during the fitting, but the worker told me that if they were too big, they could be adjusted to fit me. When the glasses came in, they kept sliding down my face, even after adjustments. The office wouldn't take them back and I couldn't afford to buy a new pair from them, so I had to order a pair online. I watched a lot of videos, including many of yours, and used the tips that I learned to order a pair that fit me perfectly. Thank you.

My husband is a retired optometrist, occasionally I helped out. Sometimes a whole family might come in for eye exams, they all had bad vision and it would have cost a fortune to fit them all in glasses! So we gladly slipped them a note with Zenni’s name on it!

I don't like to disrespect a professional, especially when they have treated me as a valuable customer for years. But when the discount chains became huge, I was going to order Varilux Transitions and the optometrist quoted something like $630. I told him, I value your care, your quality, and your attention to detail. But the same thing will cost me $375 at Costco, and while I can't expect you to match that, is there something we can do about this? He went to speak with the owner, and $630 became $425, with everyone quite happy.
The invisible variations in everything and price are simply incredible, when so many of the products often are the same.

When shopping online for glasses, I think the first measurement to look for is the total frame width to see if they’ll even fit. Then I’ll look at the bridge width, and then the lens dimensions.

Having a mm ruler comes in handy (also useful for buying jewelry online).

And if you have a flatter nose, you want to look for “low nose bridge” glasses.

Dude I'm 65 years old and retired and I'm looking for sun glasses that are not expensive look good and have my prescription correct, Zenni asked all the right questions, I up loaded my prescription and the price was great. When the order arrives I'll write a review. NYC Dave,

[MartinNeep]

From my experience it's quite simple. Single vision - fill your boots! Anything that requires an accurate PD or fitting height such as PALs, digital lenses, bifocals etc. - proceed with caution! There's nothing worse than trying to adapt to an expensive pair of progressives where the PD is out by a couple of mm and you can't return them free of charge for a re-lens or refund.

One thing I would recommend is if you are considering Transitions as a lenses option I would try looking at sunglass frames first and finding multiple pairs you like.

Probably over 90% of the time sunglass frames are available as eyeglasses as well. So now you want to see what one you like most as an eyeglass.

Biggest mistake Transitions buyers make I feel is getting a frame that is way to small to be effective coverage making them bad sunglasses and it just doesn’t look natural as sunglasses. So this really fixes the issue.

Are these just polycarbonate lenses, if not which ones are they? I have found i see the best & most clear with Nikon lenses, they are 2nd to contact lenses which i can no longer wear bc of severe dry eye. How would Zenni lenses compare to Nikon lenses? Thx

[Lp-zetg]

What a coincidence that I found this video.
I happened to want to try out online prescription glasses.

[lwyic]

I always have this question: After you've received the glasses, how do you minor adjustment... like the nose pad, or even the arm so that it can be a perfect fit?

[connorcampbell]

I recommend pair eyewear they are very good and their glasses are magnetic so they make sunglass toppers that just stick onto them and the glasses are only 60$ and very high quality

[aiko_here._]

Thank you for tips, it was really easy to order glasses )))) I paid express delivery $19 .. al total $75, in the store the cheapest was $300 .... Do you guys feel the difference ?

[Aeris_Asano]

How do these prescriptions compare to in store ones? The low price leaves me feeling a little skeptical. Any knowers?

[melodydiessner]

[reginawagoner]

We appreciate your willingness to instruct us

[bimiup]

Thank you for this video. I needed some cheap-o glasses to get me through the time between cataract and retinal surgeries. It was helpful to spend only $100 as opposed to the $600 I spend locally.
