Do You Offer Eye Exams or Prescription Renewals?
Online vision testing is available for Contact Lens Renewals only. We do not offer online vision tests for eyeglasses, but we accept expired glasses prescriptions!
Eyeglasses & Sunglasses: Any Prescription Sheet Works!
Because eyeglasses require physical fitting measurements (like Pupillary Distance), we do not offer online testing or renewals for glasses. (Note: Our old Prescription Scanner app has been permanently discontinued).
No Expiration Worries: Unlike contact lenses, GlassesUSA.com accepts your existing glasses prescription sheet even if the expiration date on the paper has passed!
How to Order: Simply type in or upload a photo of your existing prescription sheet at checkout.
Contact Lenses: 5-Minute Online Renewal (via Visibly)

Frequently Asked Questions
Why didn't I receive a test link immediately at checkout?
Our optical team must manually verify your order details first. Your link will be emailed shortly after checkout.
Does this replace my annual eye doctor visit?
No. This test checks visual clarity for contact lens renewals only and does not replace a comprehensive, in-person eye health exam.
Who is eligible for the test?
Online renewal is available for existing contact lens wearers in eligible U.S. states. First-time contact lens wearers must visit an eye doctor in person for an initial fitting.
