FAQs

ORDERS

What will I require in order to purchase my new spectacles from iSpectacle.com?

You will need to obtain a prescription from your optician. Your prescription must be within two years old (or 1 year if you are over 70, or suffer from diabetes or glaucoma or have a relative with glaucoma).

How do I obtain my prescription if I don’t have one?

You can ask your optician to provide you with your latest prescription. They are required by law to do so. If you do not have one within the recommended time limits then you will need to undergo an eye examination first.

I can’t read the figures on my prescription! What do I do now?

Simply fax your copy over to us and we’ll do the rest for you!

YOUR PRESCRIPTION

Which option do I choose? Reading, intermediate or distance?

If its for close reading tasks then choose reading. Intermediate is for VDU/Music/Arms length and distance is for everything else. If you have different values for your reading prescription than your distance, then enter the value of your chosen lens. If you have just one figure for the reading box when the distance box has figures entered for CYL and AXIS then input this value in the ADD box of the online form.

Can I use my contact lens prescription to order glasses?

No. the prescription for your contact lenses differ to that of normal lenses. So ordering spectacles to this prescription would be incorrect.

What is my PD measurement? How do I obtain this?

Your pupillary distance is the distance in millimetres between the centre of your pupils. Have a read on our website which explains step-by-step how to obtain this.

What is the maximum prescription that you offer?

We can provide a maximum of (+) or (-) 8 SPH and (+) or (-) CYL. For Near (ADD) Values for Bifocals and Varifocals, we only supply for values between +0.75 and +3.50 Diopters.

All Varifocals can be made in thinner materials and in Transitions material also. Your PD measurement will also be required.
