A Professional Guide to Buying Prescription Glasses Online
1. How to Read Your Eye Prescription (RX)
Your prescription might look like a collection of confusing numbers, but it’s the blueprint for your vision.
You can also Read Our Guide to learn more detail about it.
- OD (Oculus Dexter): Your right eye.
- OS (Oculus Sinister): Your left eye.
- SPH (Sphere): Indicates the lens power needed to correct nearsightedness (-) or farsightedness (+).
- CYL & Axis: These numbers only appear if you have astigmatism.
- ADD: Found in prescriptions for multifocal lenses, indicating the additional power needed for reading.
2. How to Measure Your Pupillary Distance (PD) at Home
Pupillary Distance (PD) is the distance between the centers of your pupils in millimeters. This measurement ensures the "optical center" of your lenses sits directly in front of your eyes.
- The Ruler Method: Stand 8 inches from a mirror, hold a millimeter ruler against your brow, and measure the distance from the center of your right pupil to the center of your left.
- Pro Tip: Most doctors don't write the PD on the prescription. Read our PD Guide for a instant measurement before checking out.
3. Understanding Single Vision vs. Progressive Lenses
Choosing the right lens type depends on your lifestyle and age:
- Single Vision Lenses: The most common lens type, designed to correct vision at a single distance (either for driving/distance or for reading).
- If your prescription includes SPH, CYL, and AXIS but does not include an ADD value, we recommend selecting this option.
- Progressive Lenses: The modern "no-line" alternative to bifocals. They offer a seamless transition between distance, intermediate (computer), and near (reading) vision in one single lens.
- If your prescription includes an ADD value, we recommend selecting this option.
4. How to Choose the Right Lens Thickness (Index)
The Lens Index determines how thin and light your glasses will be. Selecting the right index is crucial for high-prescription wearers:
- 1.56 Index: Perfect for mild prescriptions (up to +/-2.00).
- 1.61 & 1.67 Index: "High-Index" options that are up to 30% thinner than standard lenses. Ideal for moderate to strong prescriptions (+/-2.00 to +/-6.00).
- 1.71 & 1.74 Index: The thinnest lenses available. These are a must-have for very strong prescriptions to avoid the "coke-bottle" effect and reduce frame weight(+/-2.00 to +/-10.00).
5. Can I Use My FSA/HSA to Buy Glasses?
Yes! Prescription eyewear is considered a medical expense. You can use your Flexible Spending Account (FSA) or Health Savings Account (HSA) card at Velora to purchase:
Prescription eyeglasses, high-Index lens and coating upgrades.
Tip: If you don't have an FSA/HSA debit card, simply pay with a regular credit card and email us for a professional itemized invoice to submit for reimbursement.multifocal lenses, indicating the additional power needed for reading.
