Know what you are looking for and what suits you best
If you already own glasses and know what works best for you, this may be easier, but it is essential to get the right pair of glasses.
In order to save you time, it is important to have an idea of what you are looking for, whether it is a particular color, material, or shape. However, if you are uncertain, do not hesitate to ask. There are a number of tools and guides available to help you narrow down your options, such as our free Face Shape guide.
Measure the frame dimensions
You can ease this process by entering the measurements of your current pair of glasses into our Best Fit Machine. A list of possible frames will appear, and from there you can choose glasses knowing that they will fit.
