• Frames with customized lenses (prescription & non-prescription)
• Sale items*

*Frames bought at a discounted price or during promotional events with a discount code cannot be exchanged. All sales will be considered final, and no exchanges or store credits will be issued.

Each lens is completely customized to each order. Due to the volume of orders coming into the lab, we cannot offer an exchange or store credit once lenses are cut for the frame (this includes prescription and non-prescription lenses).

Please ensure you have entered your prescription information accurately onto the website. Once the order has been placed and sent to the lab, we cannot offer an exchange or store credit as each lens is completely customized to your prescription and to your frame.

If you have any questions or wish to send your prescription information directly to for processing, you can contact our Care Team and we will process the sale directly with you.

Your optometrist determines the validity period, which should be at least one year, except for cases with a significant clinical reason. It is advisable to undergo an eye examination every year and not exceed two years.

Pupillary Distance (PD) is the distance between the pupils of both your eyes. The average Pupillary distance is 62 for females and 64 for men.

The best way to find your PD is to ask your doctor who took your prescription for a copy of your PD. If they don't want to give you your PD, you can use our digital measurement tool before completing your purchase, available when entering your prescription. Please note that our digital measuring tool may be off by 1-2mm.

If your insurance company requires more information, our Care Team will be happy to provide you with a more detailed receipt than the one given after payment. We accept HSA / FSA debit card insurance as a form of payment.
