1.How do I get my prescription?

A: Vooglam does not provide eye test for glasses. Please visit your ophthalmologist or optometrist to obtain both an eye test and a prescription. They are legally obliged to provide you with a copy of your prescription. Make sure you ask them if they do not give you. Please also ask your doctor to measure and record your pupillary distance (or PD) on your prescription. Your PD is the distance in millimeters between the centers of your pupils. Your PD is not always included in your prescription, but it is very helpful for us when making your glasses to make sure that they fit you perfectly.

2.How do I read my prescription?

A: The abbreviations and numbers on your prescription may look unfathomable, but it's really a kind of medical shorthand-a professional's way of telling a laboratory what's needed to correct your vision.RIGHT EYE (OD) OD = Oculus Dexter in Latin, or right eye. LEFT EYE (OS) OS = Oculus Sinister in Latin, or left eye. BINOCULAR Binocular = both eyes. On your prescription, your pupillary distance may be a binocular PD (one number for both eyes) or a monocular PD (one number for each eye).SPH or RX SPH = Sphere or spherical correction describes the horizontal curve of your eye's lens. Sphere is assigned a positive (+) or negative (-) number between -10 and +10. And sphere is the lens power that it takes to focus an image on your retina correctly. A single-vision eyeglass prescription without astigmatism lists only SPH.CYL = Cylinder or cylindrical correction fine tunes for astigmatism-the vertical curve of an eye shaped more like a football than a sphere. Astigmatism is very common. Cylinder is a positive (+) or negative (-) number between -6 and +6. Your prescription may or may not have a CYL number. AXIS = the degree and direction of astigmatism. If you have a CYL number indicated on your prescription, you'll also have an AXIS measurement. It's a positive (+) number between 0 and 180, sometimes preceded by an "x". A single-vision eyeglass prescription with astigmatism lists values for SPH, CYL, and AXIS.

3.How often should I have my eye tested?

A: According to Practitioners' Services, your recommended intervals between eye tests vary depending on your age and health.

1.How do I know if the frame size fits me?

Different frames are in different sizes, while you can find the sizes details above the description. Or you can use the "Advanced Search" to find the one that best suits you by filling in the frame width, lenses height, etc.

Before this, you can refer to your previous glasses, check the inside of the temple arm and there may be some numbers there.

The first number is lens width, the second is bridge, the third is temple.

If you can not find the numbers on the inside of your frame, you can always try measuring by hand.

And then choose frames with same or similar figures.

2. Will the size be biased?

The size may have a difference less than 2mm due to the difference of angle and the measuring tool.

3. What are the best frames for my face shape?

Generally speaking, you can obey one principle that contrasts with your face shape. If you have a square face, you can choose an oval or round frame. If you have an oval or round face, you can choose a rectangular frame.

If you have a heart-shaped face, aviator glasses or wayfarer glasses are smart choices. We have a link for this, please check:https://www.vooglam.com/guideTips/bestFrames

1. What does the Lenses Index numbers mean?

The Lens Index number (1.51, 1.57, 1.61, 1.67, or 1.74) refers to the degree of refraction the lens provides. This means how much the light that enters the lens is refracted (bent) as it passes through the lens. Lens

Index is also related to the thickness of the lens. The higher the index, the thinner the lens will be. People with higher prescriptions should choose high-index lenses.
