How to Order Glasses with Prism Correction

If your eye doctor has added a "Prism" alignment value to your prescription, our laboratory can custom-craft your lenses to support it.

What is prism correction and who needs it?

Prism correction is a specialized lens customization used for people who experience double vision or vision displacement (seeing two separate images of the same object).

Instead of changing the focusing power of the lens, a prism gently bends light before it enters your eye. This ensures the images align perfectly on your retina so you can see a single, clear picture. You should only add prism to your order if it is explicitly written on your official doctor's prescription slip.

⚠️ Important: Prism is a prescribed vision fix, not a random upgrade

It is incredibly important to know that prism is a doctor-prescribed vision fix for a specific medical condition, not a random upgrade or a premium add-on (like blue-light filtering, anti-glare, or transition coatings).

  • Do not check this box unless your eye doctor has explicitly written a Prism value on your physical prescription sheet.

  • If your prescription does not mention "Prism," "Base," or directions like "In/Out/Up/Down," you do not need this feature and should leave it unchecked.

How much does prism correction cost?

Because prism lenses require specialized geometric cutting and diamond-polishing in our laboratory, there is a small additional manufacturing surcharge.

  • Prism lenses carry an additional custom lens fee of +$30.

How to place an order with prism correction

Because prism prescriptions are highly technical, our website does not allow you to type these values in manually. To prevent any manufacturing errors, we require a physical copy of your doctor's note.

Follow these exact steps to check out with a prism prescription:

  1. Browse our collection, select your favorite frame, and click Choose Lenses.

  2. When prompted with "What do you use your glasses for?", select Fill it out online.

  3. Scroll to the very bottom of the prescription form and check the box that says "My prescription includes prism (+$30)".

  4. A window will pop up showing an explanation of prism lenses. Click the blue Add Prism button.

  5. Next, you will see the prescription upload screen.

How to submit your prescription file:

You have two easy choices on how to send us your paperwork:

  • Option A (Upload Now): Simply drag and drop your photo/file into the box (or click to upload from your phone/computer) and tap Confirm.

  • Option B (Send Later): If you don't have the photo on your device right now, tap Send later. This allows you to finish your checkout immediately, and you can email (after we'll send you a request) or upload your prescription to our customer support team afterward.

Important: If your prescription includes prism, we are unable to produce your glasses without prism correction.
