Eyeglasses

Although prescription glasses are available in abundance, they require a prescription from an ophthalmologist. Even if a retailer provides eyeglasses without a prescription, it’s advisable to purchase certified glasses that give you the utmost eyecare. With a prescription, you can buy the glasses online through Optical4U, which offers extensive customization for eyewear.

Schedule a comprehensive eye exam with an optometrist to get a new prescription or update your current one. Once complete, Optical4U can help you find the right glasses for your vision needs and lifestyle.

Bifocal and progressive lenses are types of multifocal lenses. Bifocals have two separate areas of vision correction; far vision at the top and reading or near vision at the bottom. There is a distinct separation between both the lenses, often causing an “image jump” while shifting gaze. Whereas progressive lenses, also known as no-line lenses, have a seamless transition from top to bottom with an intermediate vision distance offering a full range of vision correction.

Eyeglasses generally come in prescription & non-prescription glasses. Prescription glasses correct vision and have various lens configurations; single-vision(monovision), bifocals, trifocals, and progressive lenses in clear and sun lens types. Non-prescription glasses are non-corrective for those who want eye protection from blue light and UV, for safety, and as a fashion accessory. These include reading glasses, blue-light blocking glasses, and sunglasses.

You almost need to spend around $200 to $500 to go to the optician to buy a pair of prescription eyeglasses. Of course, at Optical4U online store you can generally get the same quality of prescription glasses for just under $100, or even cheaper under some deals.

Yes, you can usually fit a prescription to any eyeglass frame. However, due to the special and specialized nature of eyeglass prescriptions, for example, some prescriptions are too strong to be mounted on large size frames and will be very thick. At this time, professional eyeglasses sales such as us will advise the most suitable styles for you.
