How to Order Non-Prescription Reading Glasses

If you do not have an official doctor's prescription but use standard, over-the-counter reading magnifiers to clear up text, you can easily order custom ready-made readers directly through our website.

Can I order reading glasses without a doctor's prescription?

Yes! If you only need uniform magnification for close-up tasks like reading books, using your smartphone, or working on hobbies, you do not need to upload a doctor’s note. You can select your preferred ready-made magnification strength (also known as "diopter power") during the checkout process.

How do I select my magnification power?

When customizing your frames, you will be able to choose from a standard range of magnification strengths.

Standard Magnification Strengths Available:

  • +1.00 to +1.50: Mild magnification (ideal for early reading strain or larger text).

  • +1.75 to +2.25: Moderate magnification (the most common average range for reading standard book print).

  • +2.50 to +3.00: Strong magnification (ideal for fine print, detailed close-up work, or severe up-close blur).

⚠️ Please Note: These standard reading strengths apply the exact same magnification power to both of your eyes and do not correct for an astigmatism. If your left and right eyes require different strengths, or if you experience frequent headaches while using over-the-counter readers, we highly recommend visiting an eye doctor to get a custom prescription.

 

How to place your order for non-prescription readers

To ensure your order goes straight into production without being flagged for a missing prescription, follow these exact step-by-step steps on our website:

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

  2. When the screen prompts you with the question, "What do you use your glasses for?", select Near Vision.

  3. Next, you will see two choices on how to proceed. Select "For Readers: Just select a lens power".

  4. Choose your desired magnification strength (e.g., +1.50) from the dropdown menu that appears.

  5. Complete your checkout! Your glasses will bypass our prescription verification queue and go directly to our laboratory for immediate crafting.
