When choosing new glasses, it is important to choose the right refractive index of the lens. A higher index means that the lenses are thinner even if you wear diopters stronger than +/- 2.
Before you decide to return your order, please, read the following 4 tips and save your time.
Did you know that most accidents are caused by a weakened driver's vision? The right choice of glasses will make the journey behind the wheel more pleasant and safer.
We take good care of new glasses only in the first weeks after purchase, and then we gradually reduce down to cleaning them with sleeves, paper tissues, or even alcoholic wet wipes. Professional optometrists clean their glasses differently. If you get used to it, you can extend their lifespan by several years.
Have you bought new prescription glasses and now your head hurts? Do you experience eye-strain? Do they fall off your head easily? Ordering another model is not always the solution. Try these recommendations from our optometrists first.

Good to know
If you think you have a face type similar to any of the ones listed and at least 2 main characteristics match, you’ve found a match!
This value determines the power of the contact lens. Generally, spherical power is given in plus (+) values for farsightedness and minus (-) for nearsightedness. ATTENTION - the number of diopters of contact lenses may not match the diopters of your glasses.
The curvature of the contact lens indicates the curvature of the eye in millimeters and thus also how closely the lens adheres to the eye. Usually this dimension is between 8-10 mm. Lower curvature, e.g. 8.40, means that the lens is more curved and will “fit“ more tightly on the eye. A higher curvature value, e.g. 8.70 means that the lens is more flat.
This value indicates the diameter (or size) of the lens. Soft contact lenses have a wider diameter than hard contact lenses.
The cylinder value is important for making contact lenses for astigmatism. It describes the strength of astigmatism and has a minus value increasing in 0.25 increments that compensates for the curvature of the cornea.
The axis is the second important parameter in astigmatism. It indicates the exact position of curvature on the cornea in the range of 0° - 180°.
Addition is the value given if you suffer from presbyopia. It is the difference between the dioptric value for distance and the dioptric value for near. Values up to 1.25 are considered low (also referred to as “low“), up to 2.00 as average (“medium“) and until 3.00 for high (“high“).
