How to Buying Frames Online?

Knowing Your Frame Size:

When selecting eyeglasses online, it is helpful to know what size frame will fit you. You can find this information easily by looking at a pair of frames you may currently own, or by visiting a local optical store.

Whether you are searching for a particular frame and lens style or basically browsing, you are sure to find eyewear that is perfect for your face, and your prescription. Below are some tips to take the guesswork out of ordering eyewear online.

In the event you already have a pair of frames that you would like to purchase again or even find a pair of frames similar, you can quickly identify the designer name, model number, and frame size by basically looking on the inside of your eyeglass temples (arm pieces). Below you’ll find a speedy guide to helping you identify your eyeglasses.

Note: Every frame has the same markings on the temples (arm pieces) or behind the bridge (nose area) as shown here.

* Model Name:

* Color Name:

“Purple” or color # 80

* Temple Length:

(Arm pieces) Usually between 120 and 150

* Size:

(Two numbers) “Eye size” and “bridge size”, for example 48-19 or 52-20.

Have Your Prescription Handy:

When purchasing lenses for your prescription eyewear, be sure to have a copy of your prescription. You may either fax, e-mail a scanned copy, or provide online opticals with your doctor’s name and phone number so they may contact your doctor directly.

Have Your PD Taken:

A PD Measurement or Pupil Distance can be taken at any optical store or from your doctor, and lots of optical stores will provide this service free of charge.

DO NOT measure your own PD. A PD measurement MUST BE measured by an authorized optical professional only.

Optical Industry’s Opportunity Brought by Information Technology; GlassesShop.com to Commission Yearly Market Survey

NANJING, China, Nov. 6 /PRNewswire-Asia/ — GlassesShop.com (GS) is planning to commission professional research companies to launch a survey every two years, targeting one million glasses wearers in North America. In this year’s survey, approximately 150,000 copies were received. Compared to the figures last year, the ratio shows that people who believe the sales of glasses can be e-commercialized and those with experience of eyeglasses shopping online have greatly increased. The questionnaire includes eight major topics, namely:

    1. Do you trust online purchases?
    2. Where do you prefer to buy glasses -- retail shops or online stores?
    3. Have you ever bought glasses online?
    4. The glasses you wear now are from a retail shop or online one?
    5. What do you think is the biggest advantage to buying glasses online?
    6. Are you willing to try, if you have never bought glasses online?
    7. What is your main concern about making an online purchase?
    8. Do you know any popular glasses selling websites?

Although no candidate answers were given for the question “What do you think is the biggest advantage to buying glasses online?,” up to 53.5% of people stated low pricing as the answer, compared to the previous years’ figure of 65%. In addition, nearly 10% of people said they would have more choices of frame styles, whilst 26.5% of them thought online purchasing is convenient and that the delivery is good as well. Meanwhile, 4% of people showed interest in the virtual glasses online system. Some answers were new, such as some online glasses stores are more accurate with reliable customer service.

Some also said that they’d like to have direct dealings with a Chinese outlet since a lot of glasses are designed and made in China. Some websites are also built in China.

Up to 76% of people surveyed expressed a willingness to have a try online, compared to only 45% two years ago. Over 44% of those surveyed were still concerned with the appropriateness and comfort of their own faces. It’s much higher than the 77% figure two years ago. More than half of the people also showed concern at the accuracy being based solely on a prescription: a figure slightly higher than the previous year.

Other answers included doubts about the quality assurance, after-sale services, integrity, payment security and freight, etc.

Sanji Northern, Marketing Director of GlassesShop.com, considered the survey as inspiring. He noted that with the development of the Internet and information technology, the industry is in a gradual transformation from the traditional pattern to online transactions. The glasses industry seems like a pioneer. It’s undergoing an innovation in production, distribution, services and brand operations.

He also said, “There’s no reason why we can’t do a better job in this excellent situation. GS would never change its original goal, which is to push the reformation of the eyeglasses industry and benefit consumers. In addition, we have been committing ourselves to removing the doubts of buying glasses online”.

Eventually, he added, that GS would try its best to solve the difficulty of online after-sale services in the near future: an area that has been widely criticized in the past.

How can online optical discount glasses so much?

online-opticalGenerally speaking,Online optical are the eyeglasses manufacturer themselves !
Since they are bringing products from the factory directly to you via the internet,they don’t have the additional overhead constraints and expenses that the traditional retailer will have. They have eliminated distributor and wholesaler mark-ups, retail space rent, behind-the-counter employees and warehousing. These savings are passed on to you, the general public.
Another reason why They have such low prices is that they do not carry “designer” frames. Typcially, the frames that are available to most optical stores are patterned after “designer”frames although they are not “knock-off” cheap frames like you sometimes see on the
internet. Often, it is the other way around and “designers” simply choose already available frames from eyeglasses manufacturers and put their logo on them. The online opticals’ mission is to provide quality, stylish and durable frames at a price that allows their customers to have many pairs. You can put a pair by the bed, another in the car, a tinted pair in the boat,etc.
