Dr. Glenda Secor, communications chair for the American Academy of Optometry, says with proper, unexpired prescriptions in hand, ordering online is a safe option. Just be sure the lenses you’re ordering meet certain standards, she says.
“Vendors who are not licensed in the U.S., may not adhere to U.S. standards for safety and patients may not have lenses that are impact-resistant or have poor optical quality,” Secor says. “Cheap frames are also often poorer quality, less durable and more prone to breakage."
She also recommends ensuring the website you’re ordering from has a customer-friendly warranty or return policy, like those featured below, so you won’t be stuck with an unusable pair of specs.
Ready to give it a go? There are plenty of bargains to be had when you know where to look online and in stores. Here are great online shopping resources to — ahem — keep an eye out for."
