Typically, glasses prescriptions are valid for two years (one year for contact lens) and ensuring your prescription is up-to-date is crucial for accurate vision correction. In general, it is recommended to get a comprehensive eye exam every 1-2 years to check the full health of your eye even if you don\u2019t feel any vision changes. This is because eye exams can detect early signs of eye conditions including glaucoma, cataracts, and macular degeneration and to detect underlying health issues like diabetes and hypertension.<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"\/p\/plastic-round-eyeglass-frames\/2068\/206825\" aria-label=\"Visit plastic round eyeglass frames 2068 206825 page\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-80405 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.zennioptical.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/DrEyeHealth_2.jpg\" alt=\"Doctor Eye Health Teaches Us \u201cHow to Order Glasses Online LIKE A PRO\u201d\" width=\"916\" height=\"500\"><\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Shop these <a href=\"\/p\/plastic-round-eyeglass-frames\/2068\/206825\" aria-label=\"Visit Zenni Frames Page\"><strong>Zenni Frames<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<h2>Browse Frames and Filter Choices<\/h2>\n<p>With your prescription in hand, it\u2019s time to explore the <a href=\"\/b\/all-glasses\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" aria-label=\"Visit diverse range of frames Page (opens in new tab)\"><strong>diverse range of frames<\/strong><\/a> Zenni offers. Zenni offers dozens of filters including face shape, frame shape, frame color, and age to help you find your perfect fit. Dr. Allen offers a few helpful tips for choosing the right frame for you. You can also take advantage of Zenni\u2019s Virtual Try-On feature.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Tip 1: Consider a frame that is contrasted to your <a href=\"\/glasses-for-face-shape\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" aria-label=\"Visit face shape Page (opens in new tab)\"><strong>face shape<\/strong><\/a>. Dr. Allen says, \u201cIf you have more of a rounder face, then a more boxy shaped frame is going to fit and complement a little bit better.\u201d<\/li>\n<li>Tip 2: To Nose Pads or Not To Nose Pads? Dr. Allen adds, \u201cIf you\u2019re somebody whose glasses frames usually end up sliding down your nose\u2026[look for] a pair of glasses that have <strong>nose pads<\/strong> on them. Those might work a little better because nose pads, we can adjust a lot easier and they\u2019re less likely to slide down your face.\u201d From someone who has adjusted a lot of glasses in her career, nose pads are often one of the first things I adjust to help patients get the perfect fit.<\/li>\n<li>Tip 3: Consider matching the numbers on the inside of your current glasses to the frame measurements listed towards the bottom of the listing. These numbers include eye size, distance between lenses, and temple size.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong><a href=\"\/p\/tr-square-eyeglass-frames\/20413\/2041325\" aria-label=\"Visit tr square eyeglass frames 20413 2041325 page\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-80406 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.zennioptical.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/DrEyeHealth_3.jpg\" alt=\"Doctor Eye Health Teaches Us \u201cHow to Order Glasses Online LIKE A PRO\u201d\" width=\"916\" height=\"500\"><\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Shop These <a href=\"\/p\/tr-square-eyeglass-frames\/20413\/2041325\" aria-label=\"Visit Frames Page\">Frames<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<h2>Customize the Details<\/h2>\n<p>With your perfect frames chosen, it\u2019s time to input your glasses prescription and choose your lenses! Dr. Allen provides great live examples of what each of the lenses look like from Clear, to <a href=\"\/blokz-blue-light-glasses\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" aria-label=\"Visit Blokz Page (opens in new tab)\"><strong>Blokz<\/strong><\/a>, to <a href=\"\/b\/transitions\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" aria-label=\"Visit Transitions Page (opens in new tab)\"><strong>Transitions<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Almost there!

The higher the number, the thinner and lighter the lens. Dr. Allen says, \u201cI personally think that having a higher index lens is good for any prescription, but is definitely a must if you have a high nearsightedness prescription like myself, or anybody who has a higher prescription of -3.00 or worse.\u201d To ensure a slimmer and more aesthetically pleasing profile, opt for a lens index of 1.67 or 1.74 if you\u2019re above a -3.00.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, consider adding an <a href=\"\/blog\/benefits-anti-reflective-coating-for-your-glasses\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" aria-label=\"Read more about anti-reflective coating (opens in new tab)\"><strong>anti-reflective coating<\/strong><\/a> to minimize glare and reflections, providing sharper vision and reducing eye strain. He says, \u201cThis is something I honestly do strongly recommend everyone consider investing in\u2026to help reduce the glare and reduce any reflections coming off the lens surface itself.\u201d As for specific anti-reflective lenses, he recommends getting the oil-resistant type.<\/p>\n<p><strong><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-80407\" src=\"https:\/\/www.zennioptical.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/DrEyeHealth_4.jpg\" alt=\"Doctor Eye Health Teaches Us \u201cHow to Order Glasses Online LIKE A PRO\u201d\" width=\"916\" height=\"500\"><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Zenni\u2019s user-friendly interface empowers you to personalize your eyewear.
