Frequently Asked Questions about Prescription Ordering

Q: The form above is too difficult. What if I still have questions and would like to talk to a customer service representative?
A: If you need assistance, please email us or call us toll-free (800)504-5897 - we are here to help!

Q: How do I read my prescription?
A: See our How to Read Your Prescription page.

Q: Can I have a prescription with no PD (pupil distance)?
A: No, we must have a PD, and it should be a number in millimeters normally between 54 to 70 and for kids between 41 to 55. Contact us if your adult PD is below 50 or above 70. Please remember prescription goggles / prescription sunglasses / RX adapters orders will NOT be processed without PD.

Q: What if I have more than one PD (pupil distance)?
A: Some prescriptions do contain more than one pupil distance. In some cases two PD is due to different measures for the right eye (OD PD) and the left eye (OS PD). Another reason for more than one pupil distance is the need to correct both distance and near vision. In this case your prescription will state either PD near or PD dist. Please contact your optician and decide whether you require progressive/bifocals or single vision eyewear. Make sure to enter extra PD information in the comment section and contact us if you should require any farther assistance.

Q: I need bi-focal lenses/progressives; do I need any additional information?
A: Yes, please make sure to include Segment Height. Segment height is a must for all bi-focal sunglasses or progressive lenses. You need to have exact frame in order for your optometrist or optician to take correct measurements of segment height. We have introduced a Prescription Eyewear Trial Program, which allows you to try the frame first. Please take a look at our Prescription Sunglasses Trial Program page for more details.

Q: Not sure if the frame will fit?
A: Contact us for details on our Prescription Eyewear Sunglasses Trial Program.

Q: Can I have OpticsPlanet.com fax, email or mail the prescription form to me?
A: We do want you to place your order online to avoid any possible errors or typos in entering your prescription - please remember that each and every prescription insert, prescription goggles, and prescription sunglasses are custom made to the prescription specified on your order. If you need any help at all, just give us a call or email us!
