Everything You Need to Know About eyebobs Prescription Glasses


Seeing things clearly is kind of our thing, and our prescription lenses will help you do the same. We work tirelessly to make sure our glasses are versatile, stylish, and durable. Every aspect of our unique glasses, down to the lenses, materials, and colors, are meticulously designed to ensure you can see the world with perfect clarity.

Whether you’re an eyewear veteran or a glasses greenie, we’ve got the scoop on finding you the perfect pair of prescription glasses. Read on, visually challenged friends. And prepare to see things with a whole new perspective.

“What Kind of Prescription Glasses Can I Buy Online?”

“What Kind of Prescription Glasses Can I Buy Online?”

Let’s start with the basics, shall we? The features on our glasses are indubitably A1. Whether you’re looking for single-vision (one type of vision correction) or progressive lenses (multiple prescriptions in one lens), we’re here to help you be – and see – your best self.

Our single-vision lenses are suitable for any single-vision prescription. They’re made from a thin polycarbonate lens and are also available in a 1.67 high-index lens, so even for those verging on legal blindness, there’s no chance of “bug-eyes” becoming your new nickname. They’re also shatter-proof, which will be welcome news to all those who like to whip their glasses off mid-story for dramatic effect. Did we mention our lenses are also anti-reflective and 100% UV protected? No need to worry about seeing with a glare, or being seen wearing one. 

Progressive lenses are perfect for those who need vision correction on multiple levels and don’t want to deal with the tedious glasses-swap every time you switch gears. They’re multi-focal, digitally surfaced, and have three areas of vision, so you can have more room in your bag for important things, like old receipts and seven different tubes of lipstick. And of course, they share the same first-rate features as our single-vision lenses, including being shatter-proof, anti-reflective, and 100% UV protected, so you can see with uninterrupted crystal clarity. 

Anti-reflective coating, so you can focus on self-reflection (or not).

“What Makes eyebobs so Special?”

“What Makes eyebobs so Special?”

We’re glad you asked. We’re not ones to gossip, but it’s a simple fact that many “discount” eyewear companies offer cheap lenses that aren’t optical grade and won’t come close to touching that perfectly crisp vision you’re looking for. Our lenses, on the other hand, are optical grade and will give you that “seeing-the-world-for-the-first-time” type of clarity.

The quality of our lenses rivals that of high-end competitors, unlike our prices. We don’t believe in charging extra for features we consider to be essential, like anti-reflective coating and UV protection. Forget the middle-man mark-ups – here, you can get a progressive lens for $345 instead of $1,000. All for you, dear reader. It’s no big deal, but it’s kind of a really big deal.

And, of course, the time and care we put into each of our one-of-a-kind designs is what truly sets us apart. We treat each frame as a work of art, sketching out all of our designs before we bring them to life and working with our inventive vendors to produce truly unique frames. Trust us, there are no manufacturer’s catalogs to be found in the eyebobs offices. We wouldn’t dream of putting you in frames that weren’t extraordinary.

Now that you’ve got the juice on our noteworthy features, let’s skip to the action: here’s the nitty-gritty on finding the best frames for you. 

“What Glasses are Right for my Face?”

“What Glasses are Right for my Face?”

A good rule of thumb whether (you’re trawling dating apps or shopping for new frames) is that opposites attract. If you have a roundish face, look for a rectangular or more angular frame. If you have a more structured face, round or organic frames are for you. It’s all about balance. And should you find a frame you love that goes against these standards, go forth and set the trend. We’ll be here cheering you on from the sidelines.

Our Fit Guide breaks down finding the right size (narrow, average, or wide), shape (round, square, rectangle, cat eye, or geometric), and bridge (saddle, keyhole, or nose pads) for you.

Although we don’t recommend it, scratch-resistant lenses are convenient for those who dramatically slam their glasses down mid-plot twist.

“Do I Need my PD to Order Glasses Online?”

“Do I Need my PD to Order Glasses Online?”

Yes, you will need your PD to order glasses online, but fret not – we have you covered.

PD (Pupillary Distance) is the space between your pupils. Everyone’s eyes are spaced differently, so we need this measurement to ensure your prescription lenses work for you. Without it, your vision could turn out blurry.

The majority of prescriptions will have the PD measurement right on them. If not, you can check with your eye care provider to see if they have it on file. Or, you can measure it yourself at home with our handy-dandy PD measurement tool.

“How do I Send my Prescription in to Buy Glasses Online?”

“How do I Send my Prescription in to Buy Glasses Online?”

We completely understand the struggle of buying prescription glasses online, so we’ve made this process smoother than Barry White. Once you have your frame in your shopping cart, click on the “Submit My Prescription” option and select how you would like to submit it. You can scan it and upload it from your computer or snap a photo with your phone and email it to us. If you’d like, you can even have eyebobs reach out to your eye care provider to get your prescription for you.

Still not sure you have it all figured out? Give our Customer Experience team a call at 866-393-2627. They can help you through any eyewear conundrum (or other existential crisis, for that matter).

Now that you’re armed with all the knowledge eyebobs has to offer, go forth and see clearly, dear reader.
