Why Did the Price Increase During Checkout? (Understanding "Lenses Included")
The listed frame price includes FREE basic single-vision clear lenses. Your price increases only if you add specialized lens types, thinner materials for strong prescriptions, or protective coatings.
As you customize your glasses for your specific vision needs, adding specialized lens types, high-index materials, or protective treatments will adjust your final cart total.
What Is Included for $0 vs. What Costs Extra?
Included for FREE ($0): Single-Vision lenses (distance or reading), non-prescription clear lenses, standard clear material, and basic scratch-resistant coating.
Requires Upgrade Fee: Progressive/Bifocal lenses, thinner High-Index lenses for strong prescriptions, Blue Light or Transitions® filters, and premium anti-glare coatings.
3 Common Reasons Your Price Increased
You Selected Progressive or Bifocal Lenses: Multifocal lenses require custom digital engineering, which adds a specialized lens fee.
You Have a Strong Prescription (+/- 4.00 or Higher): Standard lenses would be too thick or heavy. Our system automatically selects Thinner (High-Index) Lenses so your glasses fit safely in the frame.
You Added Lens Treatments: Optional add-ons like Blue Light blocking, Transitions®, Sun tints, or Anti-Glare coatings add to your total.
