What if I have a strong prescription?Updated a month ago

Strong prescriptions, including prescriptions with prisms, are no problem, however, you may require extra measurements that can only be taken in-store. 

Online, we can cater between:

Sphere (SPH) between -600 and +6.00

Cylinder (CYL) between -3.00 and +3.00

Values outside of this range require precise measurements and fitting adjustments for lenses to provide optimum vision. Therefore, we do not recommend ordering spectacles online for such prescriptions. If your prescription lies outside of this range you have two options:

1. Visit our Mercer Street store where we can take additional measurements while wearing your chosen frame.

2. Buy the frame without prescription lenses and take it to your local optician to have the lenses fitted.

Please note: In certain cases, our ability to fulfil your prescription for the standard price may depend on the combined sphere and cylinder values in your prescription, as well as other factors such as PD measurements and frame choice. In such circumstances, we may need to contact you to discuss lens options.
