How to Order Prescription Glasses Online: The Complete EFE Guide

As you explore EFE’s wide selection of stylish prescription eyewear, you might be wondering how the ordering process actually works. While buying glasses online can seem a bit complicated at first, the truth is—it’s just as simple as shopping for anything else online. With just a few steps, you can customize your frames, upload your prescription, and have your new glasses delivered right to your door.

Select Your Frames

The first step to ordering prescription glasses online is selecting the right frames. This can take some time, especially if you're unsure where to begin. If you already know what style or shape you like, simply type it into the search bar and browse available color options. If you're not quite sure yet, don’t worry—picking frames becomes much easier when you consider a few key factors:

• Face Shape: Certain frame shapes complement different face types. For example, round faces tend to suit rectangular or angular frames, while square faces often look great with round or oval frames.

• Frame Size: If you have an existing pair of glasses that fits well, check the measurements printed on the temple arm and use them as a guide.

• Personal Style: Think about whether you want a bold, trendy statement frame or something more classic and subtle for everyday wear.

• Material & Weight: Lightweight materials like acetate or titanium offer comfort, especially if you wear your glasses all day.

With EFE’s user-friendly filters, you can sort by frame color, shape, size, and material to quickly narrow down your best options.

How to Add Your Prescription

After choosing your favorite frames and selecting your preferred lenses, the next step is personalizing them with your prescription details. This ensures your glasses are tailored to your exact vision needs. Adding your prescription is easy—just enter the numbers provided by your eye doctor or upload a photo of your prescription directly on our site.

Choose the Right Lenses for Your Needs

While style is what catches your eye, the performance of your lenses is what truly defines your everyday experience with prescription glasses. Lens quality, thickness, and special features all play a key role in both your comfort and long-term satisfaction. That’s why selecting the right lenses is just as important as picking your frames. For help choosing thickness, be sure to check out our lens index guide.

☼ Visual Needs

Start by identifying your vision correction needs. Are you nearsighted or farsighted? Do you need help seeing clearly at multiple distances? Your prescription will indicate whether you need single-vision lenses (for one field of vision) or progressive/multifocal lenses (for distance, intermediate, and near vision). Choosing the correct lens type ensures clear, accurate sight tailored to your daily activities.

☼ Lens Enhancements & Coatings

After selecting the right lens type, the next step is upgrading with lens coatings that match your lifestyle. EFE offers a variety of protective enhancements, including:

•  Anti-scratch coatingto maintain clarity and extend lens life

•  Anti-reflective coating to reduce glare from screens or headlights

•  UV protection for outdoor safety

•  Water- and smudge-resistant coatingsfor easier cleaning and wear

If you're ordering prescription sunglasses, you can also explore options like polarized lenses, gradient tints, or mirror finishes to enhance both style and sun protection.
