Prescription Glasses

Three keys: face shape (choose shapes that contrast with your face), correct size (the width of the lens should match your face) and appropriate material. If you have a strong prescription, opt for smaller frames so that the lenses are thinner.

The single vision lenses correct for one distance (far or near). The progressive lenses integrate all distances into a single lens: far at the top, intermediate in the middle, and near at the bottom. They are ideal from the age of 40-45 when presbyopia (eye strain) appears.

Almost all, but there are exceptions. Very curved frames (sport wraparounds) require special lenses. Very large frames with high prescriptions will result in thick and heavy lenses. At OpticalH, we advise you on which frames are compatible with your prescription.

It depends on the type of lens. Standard single vision lenses usually take 5-7 days. Progressive lenses or lenses with special treatments may take 10-15 days. If you need glasses urgently, check our options for in-stock lenses with fast delivery.
