How To Order Prescription Lenses Online At Miaburton.com
Wondering how to order prescription lenses online? It might seem complicated, especially if you’ve never done it before, but you’ll find out that it's as easy as buying anything at miaburton.com.
In case you need help, we’ve created an easy guide. Read on to discover all the steps, from customizing your lenses to uploading your prescription and completing your order.
1. Pick your frame
Start with the frame you like. Under ADD TO BAG, you’ll find the ADD TO BAG OR CUSTOMIZE LENSES button. It will take you to our form where you can start customizing your lenses.
2. Pick the lens type
You can choose between non-prescription lenses and single-vision lenses. In this guide, we’ll be focusing on how to add prescription lenses to your frames.
Choose the brand of lenses
Next, we’ll ask you to choose between Ital-lenti and Zeiss. Both lens brands promise superb quality and are covered by our Mia Burton Lens Care.
Ital-lenti lenses are made from high-quality polycarbonate and they are entirely produced in Italy. They’re made with innovative technology and have a great price-quality relationship.
Zeiss is a high-end German brand with ClearView lenses made from organic plastic with an optimized point-by-point design.
From this step on, the price updates automatically after each choice. You can use the tool as a sort of prescription glasses cost calculator.
Select the lens index
After choosing the brand, pick your lens index. The lens index number refers to how thick or thin the lens is: the higher the number, the thinner the lens. Choose the one that works best for your vision needs.
If the lens index isn’t in your prescription, click on How do I choose? for useful information. If you’re still doubtful, feel free to contact our Customer Service team.
Add a lens coating
Once you’ve picked your lenses, you can add a lens coating. Think about which best suits your lifestyle: if you spend a lot of time looking at screens, consider the blue light coating. If you spend a lot of time outdoors or drive at night and get distracted by reflections from windows or street lights, consider anti-reflective coating.
3. Upload your prescription or email it later
After customizing your lenses, choose to upload your prescription, enter it manually, or send it via email at a later time. Whichever way you choose to send your prescription, be reassured that our optometrists will double-check it.
Choose your PD (Single PD or two values)
You can also enter your PD, which stands for pupillary distance. PD measures the distance between the centers of each eye. It will usually be in your prescription after an eye exam. If you can’t find it, with a few easy steps you can measure your PD at home.
How to measure your PD at home
- Stand in front of the mirror, about 20 centimeters away.
- Lay a ruler horizontally at eyebrow height.
- Place the 0 in the center of the left pupil and measure the distance from the center of the right pupil, in millimeters.
- To be sure, repeat it in reverse, measuring from the center of the right pupil to the center of the left pupil. If there is a difference of a few millimeters, don't worry: it won’t affect your lenses.
Once you have your PD measured, enter it into the form. The process we have explained is used to determine the single interpupillary distance; you could also measure the double one and enter two values, measuring from the center of each pupil to the center of the nose.
4. Review your order
You’ve reached the final step! Time to review your order, and double-check that all your details and choices are correct. The final price will be calculated at this point, so you understand the full breakdown of your prescription glasses cost.
Shipment times
Once you’ve reviewed your order and entered your payment details, you can leave the rest to us. You will receive a confirmation email with the estimated delivery times.
