Having glasses that actually fit shouldn't be a struggle—especially if you have a broader face shape. Comfort and fashion go hand in hand, yet standard frames most often fail wider face types. At 39DollarGlasses, we recognize this need and are committed to offering a diverse range of wide and extra-wide frames tailored specifically for those requiring a more generous fit.

## Why Fit Matters More Than You Think
Ever had glasses that pinch into your temples or leave marks on the skin? Or worse—glasses that slide down your nose no matter how many times you push them back up? Ill-fitting frames are more than a headache—they can give you headaches and distort your vision if the lenses are off center.

These issues are often exacerbated by the limited availability of appropriately sized frames. Recognizing this gap, 39DollarGlasses has curated a collection that caters specifically to this demographic, ensuring that everyone has access to stylish and comfortable eyewear.

Upgrade Your Favorite Frames with 39DollarGlasses' Lens Replacement Service

When it's time to choose prescription eyewear for your child, you want quality, durability, and affordability. Kids are naturally active, curious, and a bit rambunctious, so their glasses have to be able to withstand daily adventures, playground antics, and everything in between. At 39DollarGlasses, we're honored to provide stylish, comfortable, and incredibly long-wearing prescription glasses specifically tailored for kids, such as special toddler glasses with easy straps. Let's see why parents everywhere are choosing our prescription glasses for children and how our products excel in quality, safety, and price.

## Polycarbonate Lenses 

All of our children's prescription lenses are constructed from polycarbonate only. But why polycarbonate, you ask? Simply put, polycarbonate lenses are the ideal choice for active children, offering unparalleled safety and clarity.

### Exceptional Durability and Safety

Polycarbonate is much more impact-resistant and stronger than regular plastic lenses, even ten times stronger! This means that they are significantly less likely to crack, chip, or break during sports or if they drop them. Safety first is always the rule, and with polycarbonate lenses, your child's eyes are completely protected, so you can breathe easy wherever their day takes them.

### UV Protection Built-In

Each pair of polycarbonate lenses from 39DollarGlasses offers built-in UV protection. This essential feature protects young eyes from damaging UV radiation, limiting the potential for eye problems that may build up over years. Regardless of whether your child is running around playgrounds, sunbathing on beaches, or simply playing outside discovering the great outdoors, polycarbonate lenses are constantly protecting their vision.

### Lightweight Comfort

Children won't wear glasses that feel uncomfortable or heavy. Thankfully, polycarbonate lenses are lightweight and thin, offering superior comfort that makes them easier for kids to adapt to. Your child won’t be tempted to remove uncomfortable, heavy eyewear, meaning they get the full benefits of their prescription.

## Toddler Glasses With Straps: Secure and Comfortable

Parents of toddlers understand the unique frustrations that come with helping little ones adjust to wearing glasses. Toddlers are constantly on the go, and easily removable or slippable glasses are bound to become frustrating to both parent and child. That's why we offer special toddler glasses complete with comfortable, adjustable straps. 

These simple straps gently secure the frames in place, reducing slipping and movement significantly. With frames secured in place safely, toddlers adapt quickly, and parents are no longer required to constantly readjust their child's glasses.

## Versatile Lens Options: Clear, Sun, or Transitions

At 39DollarGlasses, flexibility is our goal. That's why our children prescription glasses come with a choice of lenses that are tailored to fit your child's lifestyle:

- **Clear Lenses:** Perfect for every day and school life, providing clear, sharp vision for studying, playing, and reading.
- **Sun Lenses:** Protect your child's eyes while playing outdoors and sports. [Sunglasses](https://www.39dollarglasses.com/sunglasses/kids) safeguard young eyes from harsh sunlight and harmful UV rays, allowing them to play freely and safely outdoors.
- **Transitions Lenses:** Good with good, [Transitions](https://www.39dollarglasses.com/help/eyeglasses-lenses/transitions) lenses darken outdoors in direct sunlight and become clear again indoors. Ideal for kids who constantly alternate between class and playground, these lenses transition beautifully to ensure seamless protection all day long.

## Progressive and Bifocal Lenses Custom-Fitted to Match Children's Lifestyle

Many parents don't realize that kids can also benefit significantly from progressive or bifocal lenses. At 39DollarGlasses, we understand that certain vision challenges require customized solutions, even for young eyes.

- **Progressive Lenses:** Progressive lenses smoothly transition from near vision correction to far vision correction without any visible line. Suitable for children who need help with different vision distances without bifocal lines stigma or discomfort.

- **Bifocal Lenses:** Featuring a noticeable line separating two prescriptions for vision, bifocals can be useful for kids who have specific vision requirements, such as reading in comparison to activities that require working at a distance.

Both options are available, ensuring every child's unique vision requirements are precisely met.

## Free Frame Replacement Within a Year: Because Accidents Happen!

Kids will be kids, and we understand accidents are bound to happen. So you can feel secure knowing you're always comfortable, 39DollarGlasses provides **free frame replacements for one year** from your initial purchase.

Here at [39DollarGlasses](https://www.39dollarglasses.com), we are proud to offer a variety of stylish and durable glasses that cater to various vision needs—all at affordable prices.

## **Understanding Our Vision Insurance Policy**

Currently, 39DollarGlasses does not accept vision insurance payments directly at the time of purchase. However, this doesn't mean you can't utilize your insurance benefits when shopping with us. Many vision insurance plans offer out-of-network reimbursement, allowing you to purchase eyewear from any retailer and then submit a claim for reimbursement. This process enables you to take advantage of our affordable prices while still benefiting from your coverage.

### **How to Obtain an Insurance Receipt for Reimbursement**

To facilitate the reimbursement process, we provide an easy way for you to obtain an itemized insurance receipt from your 39DollarGlasses account. Here's how:

### **Submitting Your Reimbursement Claim**

Once you have your insurance receipt, follow these general steps to submit your reimbursement claim:

1. **Obtain a Claim Form:** Most insurance providers use a standard claim form for out-of-network reimbursements. You can usually obtain this form on your insurance provider's website or request it by contacting their customer service.

2. **Complete the Claim Form:** Fill out the required information on the form. This usually includes your personal details, insurance policy number, and information about the services or products received.

It's important to note that reimbursement processes and timelines can vary between insurance carriers. We recommend contacting your provider directly for specific instructions and to confirm any details unique to your policy.

### **Utilizing Flexible Spending Accounts (FSA) and Health Savings Accounts (HSA)**

These accounts allow you to set aside pre-tax dollars for qualified medical expenses, including prescription eyewear.

Navigating Vision Insurance with 39DollarGlasses.com: A Comprehensive Guide

When the sun is out, you shouldn't have to decide between seeing clearly and shielding your eyes. [Prescription sunglasses](https://www.39dollarglasses.com/sunglasses) provide the ideal solution by putting your vision correction together with sun protection. But with all the lenses to choose from—[Transitions](https://www.39dollarglasses.com/lens/transitions), [polarized](https://www.39dollarglasses.com/lens/ultimateview-polarized-sunglasses), solid tints, gradients, mirrors—it can be difficult to figure out which is best for you. The good news is, affordable prescription sunglasses have never been more widely available, and in a variety of durable, fashion-conscious designs. Let's look at the different types of prescription sunglasses lenses, explain what they do, and help you pick the one that suits you best. 

# Transitions Lenses (Photochromic): Light-Adaptive Convenience

Ever seen glasses that darken to sunglasses when a person steps out of the indoors? These are [Transitions lenses](https://www.39dollarglasses.com/lens/transitions), a rather well-known brand of photochromic lenses. Transitions lenses change automatically with light conditions. They darken up when you are in ultraviolet (UV) sunlight and clear up when indoors or out of UV light. In everyday terms, Transitions lenses give you the convenience of wearing a pair of glasses that also serves as sunglasses. Here's how it works: The photochromic molecules in the lens respond to UV rays. In full sunlight, the lenses darken to sunglass-tint shade, shielding your eyes against glare and UV radiation. Inside or in the evening, the absence of UV enables the lenses to gradually fade back to clear. New Transitions lenses respond fairly fast, generally within a minute or two. They also provide 100% UV protection constantly, even when they appear to be clear.

## Benefits of Transitions lenses:
- __All-in-one convenience:__ You won't have to pack along an extra pair of prescription sunglasses with Transitions. Your normal glasses become your sunglasses when you are outside in the sun, so that is one less pair to carry or lose.
- __Cost-effective:__ They can potentially save you money in the long run because you're essentially getting two pairs of glasses for the price of one. Instead of buying regular glasses and prescription sunglasses, a single pair of Transitions lenses meets both needs – a huge plus for budget-conscious consumers looking for affordable prescription sunglasses.
- __Adaptable protection:__ Transition lenses are ideal for those who move from indoors to outdoors frequently. They always shield your eyes from UV rays, and the tint reduces eye fatigue in bright conditions. Even on an overcast day, they may tint slightly (since UV rays can travel through clouds), offering you comfortable sight in fluctuating conditions.
- __Lifestyle fit:__ Transitions lenses are an ideal choice if you're always on the go. For example, if you're an educator who steps outside for recess and then back to a classroom, or do errands in and out of shops, Transitions work beautifully. They're also popular with anyone who doesn't feel like messing with changing glasses to sunglasses all day. Remember that Transitions lenses require UV light to change, and therefore will not darken as much when you're in a car (as most car windshields filter out UV rays). If you do an awful lot of daytime driving with lots of sun exposure, you'll still want to have a true polarized pair on hand for the best glare suppression (more on that below). Overall, however, Transitions are wonderful convenience and now come in a wide variety of colors (gray or brown are trendy) to suit your taste. And yes, you can get Transitions at affordable prescription sunglasses online without breaking the bank – hi-tech needn't mean hi-price! Check out our selection of Transitions lenses for an easy all-in-one solution.

# Polarized Lenses (Mirror & Non-Mirror): Less Glare for the Great Outdoors

If you drive a lot, visit the beach or on the water a great deal, you've probably heard of polarized sunglasses. They're lenses that have been engineered to cut through glare – that blinding reflection of sunlight off horizontal surfaces like roads, water, snow, or glass. Glare not only is maddening but it can be dangerous, too, because it wipes out color and detail and causes you to squint. Polarized prescription sun eyeglasses screen out that obnoxious reflected glare, offering you a brighter, more pleasant visual perception outdoors in the sunlight. 

How polarized lenses work: A polarized lens has an almost imperceptible filter imbedded into the lens. This filter is aligned to exclude horizontal light waves (the majority of glare). Consider sunlight bouncing off a chrome car hood or lake surface – the light is horizontally polarized and produces a harsh glare. Polarized lenses are tiny blinds for your eyes, allowing vertical light (which is required for normal vision) to pass through and block horizontal glare. The result is that you can see detail and color more accurately, with less eye strain and no blinding reflection. Colors become more vivid and contrast greater, especially with certain tints. 

Benefits of polarized lenses:
- __Greater visual ease:__ In contrast to Transitions, which turn from darkness to altering darkness, polarized sunglasses are always operating at full power when you step out into bright light. No delay for the lenses to shift. They consistently reduce brightness and kill glare, so your eyes don't get as fatigued. That's ideal for activities like driving in midday sun or skiing on a sunny winter afternoon, where glare is abrupt and powerful.
- __Safer, clearer vision:__ By blocking glare, polarized lenses allow you to spot perils and specifics you'd normally miss. Drivers, for example, can see changes in pavement or see over a sun-lit windshield with greater ease. Anglers and boaters made polarized lenses popular because even you can spot below the surface by blocking the blinding glare on the surface of the water.
- __True or enhanced colors:__ Polarized lenses will most likely come in neutral hues like gray (non-distorting color) or brown (enhancing contrast). A gray polarized lens allows you to perceive colors normally, but a brown or amber polarized lens tends to make everything stand out and your depth vision get better (great for spotting objects against blue water or blue sky). Either way, the world appears real and clear of the whitish glare.
- __Wearability on a daily basis:__ Good-quality polarized lenses will usually use materials like polycarbonate or trivex, which are impact-resistant and light. That means your sunglasses are durable enough to survive active wear and minor drops without affecting the safety of your eyes. While polarized filters are an added feature, modern production makes them sturdy enough for everyday wear.

## Polarized Lenses: Mirror vs. Non-Mirror
Polarized lenses come in two general styles. Both styles provide the same basic glare-blocking benefits, but they look and perform slightly differently:
__Non-mirrored polarized lenses:__ These have a standard tinted appearance (usually in grays, browns, or greens) with no reflective coating on the outside. You can generally see the wearer's eyes through non-mirror lenses. They reduce glare very effectively and are perfect for all sports outdoors. Non-mirror lenses are a favorite of many, since they have a classic, unpretentious look. They'll reduce brightness and eye strain significantly, but allow a bit more light through than mirrors, which can be beneficial in fairly bright situations or where you'll be moving in and out of sun and shade.

__Mirrored polarized lenses:__ Mirrored shades also have an additional flash mirror coating on the outside front of the lens that looks shiny or reflective (think of old-school silver mirror or color reflective lens you can see in aviators). The reflection from the mirror coating pushes away excess light before even the light can make its way through the lens. You're left with even less light entering your eyes, which is ideal for extremely bright situations. Style-wise, mirror polarized lenses are absolutely dramatic and cutting-edge – and they also entirely cover your eyes behind a shiny finish. If you're fixated on that hip mirror look or you find yourself squinting even with regular sunglasses on, a mirror polarized look might be in your future. The good news is that mirror coatings are available on many budget prescription sunglasses models, so you can enjoy that flashy appearance without the designer cost.

__Lifestyle fit:__ Polarized prescription sunglasses are an excellent choice for outdoor enthusiasts and drivers. If you enjoy activities such as fishing, boating, hiking, or even driving to work during morning sun, polarized lenses will make a big difference. They're also excellent for snow sports (cutting glare off snow) and for light-sensitive eyes. Just be mindful, polarized lenses will sometimes make LCD or LED displays (such as a car dashboard or smartphone) appear to dim slightly at some angles – a minor trade-off for most, but worth knowing. Overall, if glare is your nemesis, a pair of polarized sunglasses is your good buddy. You can shop online for many cheap prescription sunglasses with polarized lenses. See our UltimateView Polarized Sunglasses selection for tough, glare-reducing shades without breaking the budget.

# Tinted Lenses (Solid & Gradient): Timeless Style and Everyday Protection
The old saying is true: "keep it simple." Tinted prescription sunglasses employ permanently colored lenses in a similar manner as regular non-prescription sunglasses. They come in solid (the same color from top to bottom) or gradient (darker at the top, fading lighter towards the bottom) colors. Tinted lenses won't change or shift with light; they are tinted once manufactured. They're a convenient, often cost-saving solution for prescription sunglasses, and they come in a wide variety of colors to suit your style. 

__How tinted lenses function:__ The lens material (most often polycarbonate or plastic for prescription sunglasses) is tinted with a tint dye or coated with a tint color. Gray, brown, and green daily sun use are common tint colors, since they provide good brightness reduction and perception of true or slightly enhanced colors. There are also fashion tints of blue, rose, or purple if you want a different appearance (these are lighter and more for fashion than for intense sun protection). Whatever the tint, quality tinted lenses will typically have a UV-protective coating or use materials that block UV naturally, so your eyes are shielded from harmful rays. Essentially, tinted lenses turn your prescription glasses into permanent sunglasses. 

## Solid vs. Gradient Tints:
__Solid Tint:__ A solid tinted lens is of the same depth of color throughout the lens. For instance, the lens could be 80% tinted gray all over, which means it blocks 80% of visible light wherever you look. Solid tints are ideal if you desire maximum sun protection in your entire field of view. They're great to wear for extended periods of time outdoors in the sun—like going to the beach for a day or driving across the country—since they always darken the light. Solid tints also often best fit sport sunglasses and classic frames, given that consistent shaded look.

__Gradient Tint:__ A gradient lens is darker at the top and gets progressively lighter in direction of the bottom. For instance, the top of the lens may be an 80% tint and then taper down to 10% at the bottom. Why? Gradient tints are trendy and for driving. While driving, the dark top of the lens shades glary sunlight above, and the lighter bottom enables you to see your dashboard and road clearly. It's a nice balance between protection and visibility. Style-wise, gradient sunglasses are quite fashionable – think aviator sunglasses with that cool fade, or oversized women's sunglasses where eyes can be partially viewed through the lower half. They're perfect if you want a dressier or trendier look in your prescription sunglasses. Keep in mind that because the bottom is lighter, they might not be ideally suited to situations where light would reflect off the bottom (like on snow or water) – that's where a solid or polarized lens would be an improvement. Many people use gradient simply because it's prettier and easier to use on a daily basis, and they still provide adequate protection for everyday use.

__Benefits of tinted lenses:__ Tinted prescription sunglasses are convenient and reliable. You know exactly what they will look and perform like every time you put them on. No darkening waiting time (such as with Transitions) and no additional filters (such as polarized). Darken total brightness and protect your eyes from UV light if decently constructed. Tinted lenses are generally also the most economical prescription sunglasses option since it's a mere add-on – usually cheaper than polarization or photochromic tech. This makes them ideal if you require multiple pairs in different styles or colors. For example, you can have a classic gray color for everyday use and a fun mirrored blue color on another pair for fashion. With today's online shopping for eyeglasses, it is easy to customize tints to match your style. 

__Lifestyle convenience:__ Tinted prescription shades are an excellent do-everything choice, especially if you prefer variety or need mostly shades for daily activities like walking, recreational sports, town driving, or social outdoor recreation. If you prefer staying at the style forefront, you'll appreciate that tinted lenses (solid or gradient) create endless style options. You have the ability to select lens hues to coordinate with your clothing or frame color. And, of course, most colored sunglasses have other coatings such as mirrors or scratch-resistant, so you don't compromise on functionality. For the fashion-conscious who perhaps likes to have a couple of pairs of sunnies to change up their appearance, colored lenses are the way to go. And of course, if you’re just looking for a simple, cheap prescription sunglasses option to toss in the car or wear on weekend outings, a single solid tint pair will do the job without fuss. Explore our range of tinted prescription sunglasses to see the variety of colors and gradients available at wallet-friendly prices.

# Choosing the Right Lenses for Your Lifestyle
Now that we have covered the two broad categories of prescription sunglass lenses, how do you decide which one is best for you? Your decision will depend on when, where, and how you plan to wear your sunglasses. These are some tips to help you match these lens types to your requirements:
- If you're going in and out of the sun all day: Try Transitions lenses. They'll adjust as you go from indoors to outdoors, which is ideal for daily life if you don't want to be constantly switching glasses. For instance, healthcare professionals, educators, or busy parents tend to adore the convenience of grab-and-go Transitions.
- If you spend a lot of time in bright, reflective situations: Choose polarized lenses. Drivers, fishermen, golfers, beachgoers – anyone subject to strong sunlight and glare will find polarized sunglasses useful. Your eyes will be more comfortable, and your vision clearer when coping with direct sun or reflective surfaces. If you want the maximum in brightness cut or a trendy look, apply mirrored polarized for that extra reflective protection.
- If you require versatility of style or a budget-friendly backup pair: Tinted lenses are a great choice. They're ideal for everyday sun and come in so many styles and shades. You might be seeking a classic solid tint for daily use, or maybe a gradient brown lens to get your prescription aviators to look all of Hollywood. Tinted sunglasses are usually the most budget-friendly, so you can even pick up an extra pair in a hip tint without guilt.

Of course, you might find that you desire more than one style of prescription suns in your collection. Most individuals have a primary pair of polarized suns for sun-out days and a pair of Transitions for convenience, for instance. Think about your typical week: do you drive a lot? Do you attend outdoor sporting events, or are you more city-walking? There is no bad choice—any kind of lens will protect your eyes and improve comfort outdoors. It's really just about finding the mix of features you require and prefer.

# Affordable Prescription Sunglasses Online: Fashion and Frugality in One

One of the best things about shopping nowadays is that you can get cheap prescription sunglasses online that meet all of these demands. Those were the days when you spent hundreds of dollars on prescription sunglasses at an optical store. Now, you can just order excellent prescription shades at reasonable prices and customize them with the type of lens that you prefer. Cost-effectiveness is no longer associated with a compromise on durability or style. The lenses we discussed—Transitions, polarized, and tinted—are all available with hi-tech materials (e.g., polycarbonate impact protection) and protective coatings (e.g., anti-scratch and anti-UV coatings). And they can be put in cool frames of your choice, whether you like sporty wraparound frames or stylish retro frames. That is, you can have it all: clarity, protection, style, and savings.

Affordable Prescription Sunglasses: A Guide to Transitions, Polarized & Tinted Lenses

When shopping for prescription eyewear, one of the biggest concerns many people have is price. Traditional optical shops often charge hundreds of dollars for a single pair of eyeglasses, forcing many individuals to postpone necessary vision care or settle for outdated prescriptions due to financial constraints. Fortunately, there’s a better way. Online eyewear retailers like us at 39DollarGlasses have revolutionized the market by offering high-quality, discount glasses at a fraction of the cost you’d pay in most physical stores. But how do we offer such excellent value without compromising on quality?

In this blog post, we’ll take you behind the scenes to show exactly why our glasses are so affordable—without cutting corners. From bypassing costly storefront overhead to negotiating savings on licensing fees and leveraging technology, you’ll discover the real reasons we can bring you high-quality prescription eyewear at prices that won’t break the bank. 

---

## 1. The Same Factories, Minus the Brand Name Logos

Arguably the most common misconception about **affordable online glasses** is that more affordable costs mean lower quality. Not here, especially at [39DollarGlasses](https://www.39dollarglasses.com). Our lenses and frames are produced in the same factories as local optical shops. We have established positive relations with solid manufacturers who strictly adhere to quality standards.

So what's the difference between our frames and the ones you see in a standard optical shop? More often than not, it's simply the lack of a designer label. Designer eyewear costs licensing fees—sometimes hefty fees. Those fees are then passed directly on to the consumer in the form of higher retail prices. By forgoing the flashy logos and brand name licensing, we’re able to offer premium-quality frames at a fraction of the cost. The result is the same craftsmanship, materials, and durability you’d expect from a pair of glasses that might cost hundreds of dollars in a brick-and-mortar store—all without the added markup.

**Quality Control:**
Even without the logos, our production process for our glasses is held to the same high standards as the "big names." We use top-of-the-line materials such as acetate, stainless steel, TR90, and titanium, just like the luxury brands you'll see elsewhere. Every pair also undergoes thorough testing to ensure they meet our strict quality control measures before shipping them to your door.

---

## 2. Streamlined Supply Chain and Technology

We invest heavily in technology that allows us to automate many aspects of the process, from design to distribution. This technology-driven approach enables us to operate more efficiently, reducing labor costs and minimizing mistakes that can occur with manual processes. 

Here’s how it works:

- **Direct-to-Consumer Model:** By cutting out the middlemen—like distributors, retail franchises, and licensing agencies—we can source frames and lens materials directly from reliable partners. This direct-to-consumer approach keeps costs down, ensuring that you pay only for what you need: quality frames and lenses.

- **Efficient Inventory Management:** Our warehouse and online systems employ advanced inventory management tools. This means we never have an overstock of slow-moving items. Keeping our inventory streamlined and balanced helps avoid waste, which in turn keeps our prices low.

- **Digital Lenses and Advanced Equipment:** We use the latest lens-cutting and prescription-calibrating machines, guaranteeing precision. When you buy prescription glasses online from us, you get lenses that are custom-made for your eyesight. Our investment in state-of-the-art technology also reduces errors, which prevents unnecessary remakes or refunds—another factor that helps keep costs lower for everyone.

---

## 3. No Fancy Storefront = Lower Overhead

Brick-and-mortar optical shops can be expensive to run. There’s the rent or mortgage on the store location, the costs of interior design and display cases, as well as utility bills, insurance, and staffing. Luxurious displays and in-store marketing contribute to a premium atmosphere that’s inevitably reflected in higher prices for the consumer.

By contrast, 39DollarGlasses operates predominantly online. We bypass all these extra overhead costs. While we still invest in the best equipment, comprehensive training, and quality control measures, we don’t have to pass along the cost of maintaining a flashy storefront. This is a huge reason why our discount glasses remain so competitively priced.

**Passing Savings Along to You:**  
Eliminating a storefront means no expensive retail real estate and no middlemen’s profit margins. We take the money we save and invest it into better materials, advanced equipment, and exceptional customer service. Ultimately, this approach leads to more affordable eyewear for you, all while maintaining (and even surpassing) the quality standards you’d find offline.

## 4. Cutting Out Unnecessary Brand Markups

As we touched on earlier, brand name logos and licensing fees can dramatically increase the price of a pair of eyeglasses. Whether it’s a famous fashion label or a sports brand, the additional cost is rarely due to improved materials or construction. Instead, you’re paying a premium for the brand’s marketing, sponsorships, and licensing arrangements.

**Quality Doesn’t Have to Be Expensive:**  
By focusing on our own in-house designs and working with carefully vetted factories, we’re able to provide frames that look stylish and last for years—without you having to fork over extra money just for a recognizable logo. After all, the real value of a pair of glasses lies in the sturdiness of the frames and the accuracy of the lenses, not in a brand name emblazoned on the temple.

---

## 5. High-Quality Lenses at a Fraction of the Cost

A significant portion of the cost of prescription eyewear often lies in the lenses themselves. Premium coatings, progressive lenses, and specialty prescriptions can lead to daunting price tags in traditional stores. At 39DollarGlasses.com, our lab is able to produce a wide variety of lens options—from single-vision and progressive to polycarbonate and high-index lenses—at much lower prices.

Here’s how we do it:

- **Volume Purchasing:** Because we serve a global customer base online, we purchase materials in large quantities. This bulk buying power lowers the cost of lens blanks and coatings.

- **In-House Laboratory:** We manage many steps of the lens production process in our own lab, cutting out third-party fees. This not only reduces expenses but also allows us to maintain rigorous quality checks every step of the way.

- **Automated Lens Surfacing and Coating:** Our modern machinery streamlines the process of lens surfacing and coating. This automation means less manual labor is involved, reducing errors and overall production costs.

Despite the term “cheap glasses online,” the craftsmanship and technology behind our lenses ensure clear, consistent vision. We’re committed to offering affordable prescription eyewear with the best materials available, so you never feel like you must compromise.

---

## 6. Online Convenience and Customization

When you **buy prescription glasses online** with us, you aren’t limited to a handful of options displayed on a wall or stuck in drawers at a physical store. Instead, you can browse hundreds of frame styles—everything from classic designs to modern, trendy looks—whenever you want, from wherever you are.

**Personalization:**  
- **Virtual Try-On Tools:** Some of our frames can be “tried on” virtually, allowing you to see how they might look on your face using your phone or computer camera.  
- **Easy Prescription Entry:** You can simply enter the prescription from your eye doctor’s prescription form directly on our website or upload a photo of it.  
- **Various Lens Options:** Need extra UV protection, anti-reflective coating, or scratch-resistant lenses? You can customize your order, ensuring your eyeglasses have exactly the features you want—without unnecessary upsells.

Best of all, the money we save by not operating physical stores also translates into more opportunities to invest in user-friendly online tools and resources. This means your shopping experience is not only more affordable, but also more convenient.

---

## 7. Outstanding Customer Service—Without the High Costs

One of the major hesitations people have when it comes to buying something as important as prescription eyewear online is the concern about service. What if the prescription isn’t correct? What if the frames don’t fit?

We take customer satisfaction seriously. Our customer service team is well-trained in understanding all aspects of prescription eyewear. We also offer hassle-free returns and exchanges if your glasses don’t meet your expectations for any reason.

**Trial and Adjustment Periods:**  
- **Flexible Returns and Exchanges:** We understand that sometimes you need to see and feel the glasses to be sure they’re the right fit. Our Home Trial program allows you to try 5 frames before commiting to a style!  
- **Expert Advice:** Our optical professionals are available via phone, email, or chat to answer any questions or troubleshoot issues like frame adjustments or lens coatings.  

We pride ourselves on providing top-notch support without adding an exorbitant service fee. Just because our glasses are cost-effective doesn’t mean you won’t get personalized attention—quite the opposite. Our goal is to make sure every customer feels confident and satisfied with their purchase.

## 8. The Bottom Line: Affordability and Quality Can Go Hand in Hand

The perception that you have to spend hundreds—if not thousands—of dollars for a quality pair of eyeglasses simply isn’t accurate anymore. Thanks to advancements in technology, streamlined supply chains, and the rise of e-commerce, consumers now have unprecedented access to **discount glasses** that don’t sacrifice quality or style.

- **High Quality:** From robust frames to precisely crafted lenses, we ensure top-tier standards at every step.  
- **Lower Overhead:** Operating online lets us save on rent, displays, and staff, which benefits you directly.  
- **No Costly Brand Licenses:** Skipping designer labels saves you money while still delivering fashionable eyewear.  
- **State-of-the-Art Manufacturing:** Our automated systems reduce errors and waste, passing the savings onto you.  

With 39DollarGlasses, you can enjoy the same or better quality prescription eyewear that physical stores offer—minus the hefty price tag. Stop paying more than you need to just for a logo or a luxury storefront. **[Buy prescription glasses online](https://www.39dollarglasses.com/eyeglasses)** from us and experience the perfect blend of affordability, convenience, and craftsmanship.

The True Cost of Prescription Eyewear: Why Our Glasses Are So Affordable

Oversized eyeglass frames have made a significant comeback, becoming a staple in modern fashion. From runways to street style, these bold accessories are celebrated for their ability to make a statement while offering practical benefits. If you're considering diving into the oversized trend, here's how to do it with confidence and flair.

## Why Oversized Frames?
Oversized frames are not just a fashion statement; they also have practical advantages. The larger lenses give a wider field of vision and can offer more protection from environmental elements. Also, they carry an air of confidence and can be a signature of your sense of fashion.

__1. Larger Field of Vision:__ The larger the lens, the greater your field of vision. This is particularly helpful to prescription eyeglasses users, offering more view with less distraction.

__2. Weather Guard:__ From keeping your eyes shielded from the sun's UV radiation to fending off wind and debris, big frames offer an added level of protection. This makes them ideal not only for fashion but for function as well.

__3. Bold Fashion Statement:__ Oversized frames are for individuals who wish their glasses to be a fashion statement. They can make even the most basic attire look fashion-forward.

## Choosing the Right Pair

When choosing oversized frames, there is a need to get the right balance between being bold and being fitting. Here's how it is achieved:

### Face Shape Matters
__- Round Faces:__ Angular and geometric shapes add definition and contrast to smoother features. Rectangular or square shapes work well.
[![gmPOwKVRxcOZxQZ78avJ 4090 BROWN STRAIGHT](//images.ctfassets.net/14wnz8ylwkwd/1jLJietNlnGJ4gHPKeserK/9fd8e9e101fe44da3dc06d655828535d/gmPOwKVRxcOZxQZ78avJ_4090_BROWN_STRAIGHT.png)](https://www.39dollarglasses.com/4090_BROWN.html)

frame: [Morris](https://www.39dollarglasses.com/4090_BROWN.html)

__- Square Faces:__ Oval or round frames soften the sharp angles. Cat-eye frames are another way of having a little fun with a complementary look.

[![sujM68NeLVERTYAqvCAl 0005 GUN STRAIGHT](//images.ctfassets.net/14wnz8ylwkwd/753m2N6J2FwkRL6waAMbrk/c771721efff14cfd2c4dc98a1252a530/sujM68NeLVERTYAqvCAl_0005_GUN_STRAIGHT.png)](https://www.39dollarglasses.com/0005_GUN.html)

frame: [Theo](https://www.39dollarglasses.com/0005_GUN.html)

__- Heart-Shaped Faces:__ Look for frames that are wider at the bottom. Aviator or rounded-corner frames work well in balancing a wider forehead shape.

[![nFPwpsQichvgkQKmYLF9 4120 GUN STRAIGHT](//images.ctfassets.net/14wnz8ylwkwd/7uqcQUzmQfc26HPh17KzgZ/661f6326594d44fb9512f79f86f3f42a/nFPwpsQichvgkQKmYLF9_4120_GUN_STRAIGHT.png)](https://www.39dollarglasses.com/4120_GUN.html)

frame:[ Wallace](https://www.39dollarglasses.com/4120_GUN.html)

__- Oval Faces:__ Good fortune is smiling upon you! True, nearly any shape will work, even over-sized ones. Just keep proportion in mind.

[![OG9h43SIxcAwPGrnrEMP 0393 LTBLUE STRAIGHT](//images.ctfassets.net/14wnz8ylwkwd/aN7rEouBdgNukIbk8mQGu/86d9b039f95df447235a8118cdd3ac05/OG9h43SIxcAwPGrnrEMP_0393_LTBLUE_STRAIGHT.png)](https://www.39dollarglasses.com/0393_LTBLUE.html)

frame: [Barb](https://www.39dollarglasses.com/0393_LTBLUE.html)

## Proportion is Everything
Over-sized frames, however, need to be huge but not gigantic. Although intended to be dramatic, they should not overwhelm your natural features. On fitting frames, ensure that the frames do not stick out too far wider than your face or settle too far down on your cheeks.

## Color and Material Options
- __Neutral Tones:__ [Black](https://www.39dollarglasses.com/eyeglasses/black), [brown](https://www.39dollarglasses.com/eyeglasses/brown), or [clear frames ](https://www.39dollarglasses.com/eyeglasses/clear_white)are adaptable and can be paired with almost any outfit.
- __Bold Tones:__ [Red](https://www.39dollarglasses.com/eyeglasses/red), [blue](https://www.39dollarglasses.com/eyeglasses/blue), or print frames are perfect to add a splash of color to your closet. These are just amazing when your closet is not overly flashy.
- __Material Matters:__ [Metal frames](https://www.39dollarglasses.com/eyeglasses/metal) will be lighter and dainty, while acetate or plastic frames can have a thicker, bold appearance.

## Dressing Oversized Frames Tips
Over-sized frames are all about balance. Here's how to style them for maximum effect:

### 1. Balance Your Look
__- Minimalist Style:__ If your glasses are the focal point, keep everything else low-key. Solid colors, clean lines, and limited patterns make your glasses pop.

__- Go Big:__ Or, go maximalist and match big frames with big clothes. Just ensure there's something that ties them together, like matching colors or complementary patterns.
### 2. Thoughtful Accessories
Avoid excessively large earrings or large necklaces that will be competing with your frames.
Opt for small jewelry or a minimal watch to balance the look.
Scarf and hats are ditsy—be sure not to block or compete with your frames.
### 3. Hair and Make-Up Tips
__Hairstyles:__ Updos or straight hair can look stunning framing your frames. In the event that you prefer having your hair loose, attempt having it tied behind your ears.
__Makeup:__ Subtle, natural makeup will create a balanced appearance. But for matching the pizzazz of your frames, bold lip shade or sharply edged eyebrows will give the mood an added boost.

Best Glasses for Working from Home: Comfort Meets Style

Blurry vision can be unsettling, especially if it appears suddenly or worsens over time. Whether you happen to experience short, interrupted periods of blurriness from time to time or chronic visual disturbances, this should be a clear warning that something is affecting your eyes. It can be as simple as the need for a new prescription, but quite often it acts like a first line of warning of some fairly serious eye health conditions which require immediate attention.

Let's talk through some of the most common causes of blurry vision, symptoms you may have, and how to protect and improve your eyesight. This blog post is strictly for general information and educational purposes only. No information should be utilized as medical advice. Always consult with an eye doctor regarding questions about your vision.

## Refractive Errors
### What Are Refractive Errors?
Refractive errors are abnormalities of the shape of your eye that prohibit light from focusing on your retina rightly. These are some of the most common causes of blurred or distorted vision. Common refractive errors include: 

- __Myopia__ - or nearsightedness, the inability to clearly view objects at distant points. 
- __Hyperopia__ - or farsightedness, trouble in setting focus on nearby objects. 
- __Astigmatism__ - poor vision distance and near, due to the irregular shape of the cornea.
- __Presbyopia__ - this affects the focusing ability that accompanies aging, typically in the 40's or 50's.

### How Do They Cause Blurry Vision?
If the shape of the eye or the focusing mechanism within it isn't just right, the light entering the eye fails to meet with the retina correctly, thus results in blurriness or distortion. This often feels worse in certain distances-far away for nearsighted, and one or both for astigmatism.

### Things to Do
- __Eye Exam:__ Most of the conditions are diagnosed based on a basic eye test itself. 
- __Glasses/Contact Lenses:__ The image can be converged properly on retina using glasses/contact lenses 
- __Corrective Surgery:__ Laser eye treatment like LASIK can permanently deal with some forms of refractive errors.

## Digital Eye Strain 
### Why it Happens?
With an increasing reliance on digital devices — smartphones, tablets, and computers — digital eye strain (also known as computer vision syndrome) is on the rise. Spending hours focusing on a screen can cause temporary blurred vision, dry eyes, and headaches.

### How It Causes Blurry Vision
Staring at the screen lowers the blinking rate, therefore, reducing tear rates to dry the eyes. Moreover, continually setting one's focus at near distance strains the muscles within the eye. With respect to that, it creates temporary blurred vision, particularly late in the day.

### What to Do
__- 20-20-20 Rule:__ Every 20 minutes, look away from your screen at an object 20 feet away for at least 20 seconds.

__- Blink More Often:__ Blink frequently; force oneself to blink oftentimes. 

__Adjust Lighting:__ Try to reduce glare off of screens and comfortable ambient lighting. 

__Computer Glasses:__ Specialized lenses help with eye strain while in front of a screen for extended periods of time.

## Dry Eyes
Overview
Dry eye syndrome is a disorder wherein there lies an inadequate amount or poor-quality amount of tears. Every time the eyes do not get enough lubrication due to a sufficient amount of tears irritation and redness can occur, and quite often it leads to blurry vision.

### Causes of Dry Eyes
- Environmental causes: air conditioning and heating
- Using the screen for extended periods
- Medications like antihistamines, decongestants, and blood pressure drugs
- Health conditions like Sjögren's syndrome
- 
### How It Leads to Blurry Vision
The tears smooth the cornea and keep it moist. Inadequate amount of it makes the surface rough or irregular, hence scattering the light, causing a blurry vision.

### What to Do
- Artificial Tears: Over-the-counter eye drops can supplement the tear production
- Lifestyle Changes: Using humidifiers, breaking during screen times, staying hydrated.
- Prescription Treatments: If your dry eyes are more serious, see an eye doctor for further treatment or medicated eye drops.

## Cataracts
### What is a Cataract?
A cataract is clouding of the normally clear lens of your eye. As this occurs, the clear lens starts becoming cloudy or opaque, eventually distorting the vision. Over time, as they worsen, they can cause blurry or cloudy vision, specially at night.

### Risk Factors
- Age: Common among those over 60 years
- Medical Conditions:  Diabetes can accelerate the development of cataracts.
- Lifestyle Factors: Smoking and too much exposure to the sun

### How They Cause Blurry Vision
The cloudy lens will interfere with the amount of light reaching the retina. Images may thus appear more blurred, faded, or yellow. You may feel an increase in glare or halos around lights especially driving at night.

### What to Do
- Early Detection: Early detection of Cataracts can be done once regular eye check-ups are done
- Cataract Surgery: It is a safe, effective procedure in which the cloudy lens is replaced with a clear, artificial one.
- Wear sunglasses that provide UVA protection along with hats to prevent your eyes from harmful UV radiations, that might accelerate the development of Cataract.

## Glaucoma
### What is Glaucoma?
Actually, Glaucoma is the group of disorders that may cause optic nerve damage and loss and generally slow progressive peripheral vision loss from outside of your field of view due to a high level inside the eyes.
Glaucoma tends to develop painlessly and without symptoms in its early stages until the condition has reached such an advanced stage. In instances where it does strike quickly, as in the case of acute angle-closure glaucoma, it may be accompanied by severing pain in the eye besides blurred vision coupled with headaches.

### How It Causes Blurry Vision
Elevated intraocular pressure affects the optic nerve’s ability to transmit images to the brain. As optic nerve fibers are lost, your vision can become patchy or blurry, particularly at the edges of your visual field.

### What to Do
- Regular Eye Exams: The eye pressure is gauged using a tonometry test, whereas comprehensive exams damage the optic nerve.
- Medications: These involve prescription eye drops and oral medications for lowering intraocular pressure.
- Surgery: When medicine is not enough, laser treatments or surgical operations are conducted to let the fluid come out of the eye.

## Diabetic Retinopathy
### What Is Diabetic Retinopathy?
Diabetic retinopathy is a disease of the eye originating from the destruction of small blood vessels of the retina in diabetic patients. Quite often this disease progresses very silently and if not treated it may cause blurred vision or even complete blindness.

### Risk Factors
- Long-standing uncontrolled blood sugar
- High blood pressure
- High cholesterol

### How It Causes Blurry Vision
Pucker, or scarring, occurs when abnormal or leaking blood vessels in the retina distort your vision. Later, new vessels that form may bleed, causing severe vision loss or blindness.

### What to Do
- Control Diabetes: Blood sugar controlled with diet and exercise and medications
- Regular Checkups: Eyes examined yearly would pick up most cases of Diabetic Retinopathy.
- Treatment - Laser Photocoagulation, Injections.

## Migraine and Other Neurological Causes
### Migraine-Related Blurred Vision
Most migraineurs present with a development of a visual aura which usually appears in the form of shimmering lights, zigzag lines, or blurred vision, all of which are seen mostly prior to headache phase or with its onset.

### Other Neurological Disorders
Even conditions like multiple sclerosis, stroke, and even tumors of the brain can cause blurred vision to occur, sometime temporarily and sometime permanently by interfering with the pathways responsible for vision within the brain.

### What to Do
- Symptom Diary: Keep a symptom diary regarding when migraines happen to see if anyone can spot a pattern of triggers.
- __Consult a Health Professional:__ Neurologist or ophthalmologist-consultant will examine and investigate to rule out neurological causes.
- Medication & Lifestyle Changes: Most importantly, appropriate management of migraine and other neurological conditions that serve as its root cause helps the frequency of attacks of blurred vision to be prevented or minimized.

### Medication Side Effects
### The Usual Suspects
Some medications, including antihistamines, antidepressants, and anti-anxiety drugs, can cause blurred vision. This often happens because these medications affect tear production, eye muscle function, or the nervous system.

### What to Do
- Medication Review: Consult your physician or pharmacist as to whether blurred vision is a common side effect of this medication.
- Medication/Dosage Adjustment: Symptoms persist a dose adjustment may be needed
- Fluid Intake: If the cause is dryness, besides the use of lubricating eye drops, try increasing your fluid intake.

## Infections and Inflammations
### Common Eye Infections
- Conjunctivitis: This is an inflammation of the conjunctiva where there is a discharge, redness, and blurring of vision.
- Keratitis: This is an infection of the cornea. Presentation may include pain, redness, and blurring of vision.

### Inflammatory Conditions
- Uveitis: This is the inflammation of the middle layer of the eye. Due to this type of inflammation, painful and blurred vision takes place. 
- Scleritis: Inflammation of the white part of the eye might be painful, with a blurred vision in some cases.
### What to Do 
- Seek Prompt Treatment Most of the eye infections and inflammation require prescription eye drops or oral medications.
- Practice Good Hygiene Frequently wash hands and avoid touching or rubbing your eyes.
- Follow-up with Your Eye Doctor: This will sort out, once and for all, complications arising out of incomplete resolution of the infection or inflammation.

## Eye Fatigue and Lifestyle Factors
### Why Lifestyle Counts
These include not sleeping enough, not hydrating well enough, eating inadequately, and drinking a little too much alcohol. You will equally experience eye fatigue during the period you are going overboard in viewing without rest to your eyes.

### How It Leads to Blurriness
Like any other muscle, the eyes also undergo overworking and, over time, stop focusing. Nutritionally speaking, due to a deficiency of vitamins A, C, and E, along with mineral zinc, there is gradual deterioration over the years to the eyes as well.

### What to Do
- Adequate Sleep: Take 7–9 hrs of sound sleep daily.
- Wholesome Diet: Eat antioxidant-containing leafy vegetables and carrots and citric fruits.
Keep Enough Hydration: Adequate intake of water maintains the optimum amount of tears in the eyes.
- Avoid Alcohol and Caffeine: These dehydrate the body and hence can distort your vision.

## When to Seek Immediate Help
Seek immediate medical help if there is sudden development of blurred vision or serious blurred vision associated with eye pain, flashing lights, or loss of peripheral vision. Some conditions, such as detached retina and acute angle-closure glaucoma, have to be managed as an emergency since missing the window may be associated with permanent loss of vision.

 -------------------------
Blurred vision can arise from a wide range of causes — some benign and easily corrected, and others more serious. From refractive errors to infections, from digital eye strain to chronic conditions like glaucoma or diabetes, understanding the root cause is the first step toward resolution. Regular eye exams are essential to catching issues early, and a healthy lifestyle, including adequate rest and proper nutrition, can go a long way in supporting clear vision.

If you’ve noticed that your vision isn’t as sharp as it used to be, consider booking an eye exam. Whether you need new prescription eyewear or more specialized treatment, taking proactive steps can protect your eyesight for years to come. Remember: clear vision is crucial not just for daily tasks like reading and driving, but for enhancing your overall quality of life. Don’t hesitate to reach out to a qualified eye care professional if you have any concerns about your vision.

Why Is My Vision Blurry? Common Causes & What to Do About It

Good vision is essential for a fulfilling life, allowing you to experience the world in all its beauty. Whether you're reading a book, enjoying a scenic view, or navigating daily activities, your eyesight plays a vital role in your overall well-being. While routine eye check-ups and wearing prescription glasses are important for maintaining healthy vision, there is much more you can do to keep your eyes in top shape. One of the most effective ways to support your eye health is by ensuring you get the right nutrients!

Certain vitamins and supplements can play a significant role in safeguarding your eyes from age-related damage, protecting against harmful light exposure, and supporting overall vision function. Let's take a look at the best vitamins and supplements for eye health and explore how they contribute to optimal vision.

## 1. Vitamin A: The Eye's Protector
__Vitamin A__ is perhaps the most well-known nutrient when it comes to eye health. This essential vitamin is crucial for the function of the retina, particularly the cells that are responsible for converting light into nerve signals, which the brain interprets as images. Vitamin A also plays an important role in night vision, ensuring that you can see clearly in low-light conditions.

Deficiency in vitamin A can lead to conditions like night blindness, dry eyes, and in extreme cases, permanent [blindness](https://www.39dollarglasses.com/blog/what-prescription-is-considered-legally-blind). Fortunately, vitamin A can be found in many [foods](https://www.39dollarglasses.com/blog/nutrition-and-eye-health-foods-that-boost-your-vision), such as carrots, sweet potatoes, spinach, and liver. Carotenoids like beta-carotene, which the body converts into vitamin A, are abundant in bright-colored fruits and vegetables.

For individuals who may not get enough vitamin A from their diet, supplements can be a convenient option. Some multivitamins contain vitamin A, and there are also specific vitamin A supplements available.

## 2. Vitamin C: Essential Antioxidant Power
__Vitamin C__ is widely recognized for its immune-boosting properties, but did you know it also plays a critical role in eye health? As a powerful antioxidant, vitamin C helps protect the eyes from oxidative damage caused by free radicals. It also supports the health of blood vessels in the eyes, particularly the delicate capillaries that supply nutrients to the retina.

Furthermore, vitamin C contributes to the production of collagen, a protein that is essential for the health of eye tissues. This vitamin has been linked to a reduced risk of cataracts, a clouding of the eye’s natural lens that can affect vision.

Foods high in vitamin C include citrus fruits like oranges, grapefruits, and lemons, as well as strawberries, bell peppers, and broccoli. If your diet is lacking in these vitamin C-rich foods, supplements can provide the necessary dose to help protect your eyes from oxidative damage.

## 3. Vitamin E: Defender Against Age-Related Damage
__Vitamin E__ is another antioxidant that is crucial for maintaining eye health. This vitamin works by neutralizing free radicals that can damage eye cells and contribute to the development of age-related macular degeneration (AMD), one of the leading causes of blindness in older adults. By reducing oxidative stress, vitamin E helps slow the progression of age-related eye diseases.

In addition to its antioxidant properties, vitamin E also supports the production of certain enzymes that protect the retina. It can help mitigate the impact of harmful UV rays and environmental toxins, which can contribute to long-term eye damage.

The best sources of vitamin E include nuts, seeds, spinach, and fortified cereals. For those looking to boost their intake, vitamin E supplements are widely available. This vitamin can be taken alone or as part of a multivitamin.

## 4. Omega-3 Fatty Acids: Nourishment for Your Eyes
__Omega-3 fatty acids__, found primarily in fatty fish such as salmon, trout, and mackerel, are essential for eye health. These healthy fats are key components of the retina and play a role in maintaining its structure. Omega-3s also help prevent dry eye syndrome by supporting the production of tear fluid, which keeps the eyes moist and comfortable.

Moreover, omega-3s are associated with a reduced risk of developing age-related macular degeneration (AMD), a progressive condition that damages the central part of the retina and can lead to vision loss. Omega-3 fatty acids may also help alleviate the symptoms of conditions like diabetic retinopathy and reduce the risk of cataracts.

If you don’t eat enough fish or prefer a plant-based option, omega-3 supplements derived from fish oil or algae are great alternatives. Regular consumption of omega-3s can provide long-term benefits for your eyes.

## 5. Lutein and Zeaxanthin: Eye-Specific Nutrients
__Lutein and zeaxanthin__ are two powerful carotenoids that are naturally found in the retina. These nutrients act as antioxidants and help filter out harmful blue light, which can cause retinal damage over time. They also play a role in maintaining the health of the macula, the central part of the retina responsible for sharp, detailed vision.

Lutein and zeaxanthin have been linked to a lower risk of developing age-related macular degeneration (AMD), as well as cataracts. These nutrients can be found in foods like leafy greens (spinach, kale, collard greens), corn, and egg yolks.

If you find it difficult to incorporate enough lutein and zeaxanthin into your diet, supplements are available in various formulations. These supplements are often marketed as “vision supplements” and may contain high concentrations of these eye-specific carotenoids to support long-term eye health.

## 6. Zinc: Essential Trace Mineral
__Zinc__ is an essential mineral that plays a vital role in eye health. This trace element is necessary for the proper function of the retina and helps transport vitamin A from the liver to the retina. Zinc is involved in the production of melanin, the pigment responsible for protecting the eyes from harmful UV rays and visible light.

A deficiency in zinc can lead to vision problems, including poor night vision, cataracts, and age-related macular degeneration (AMD). Zinc also plays a role in the immune system, which helps protect the eyes from infections and inflammation.

You can get zinc from food sources like oysters, beef, poultry, beans, nuts, and whole grains. Zinc supplements are also available in various forms, including as part of multivitamins or specific eye health supplements.

# Choosing the Right Supplements
While it’s always best to get your nutrients from a balanced and varied diet, some individuals may find it difficult to meet their nutritional needs through food alone. Whether due to dietary restrictions, preferences, or lifestyle, taking supplements can help fill the gaps and support optimal eye health.

Before adding supplements to your daily routine, it's important to consult with a __healthcare professional__ to ensure you’re choosing the right products and dosages. Your doctor can help you avoid taking excessive amounts of any one nutrient and guide you toward the most effective options for your specific needs.

Maintaining optimal eye health requires more than just regular eye exams and wearing the right prescription glasses. By incorporating essential vitamins and supplements into your daily routine, you can help protect your vision and reduce the risk of developing age-related eye diseases like macular degeneration and cataracts. Whether through a nutrient-rich diet or targeted supplements, safeguarding your vision is a proactive step toward a lifetime of clear, sharp sight.

If you're looking to improve your eye health and ensure your vision remains strong, consider adding these vitamins and supplements to your daily regimen. With a little attention to your nutrition and supplementation, you can keep your eyes healthy and preserve your vision for years to come.

The Best Vitamins and Supplements to Protect Your Vision

Finding the perfect pair of eyeglasses starts with knowing your frame size. Accurately measuring your eyeglasses ensures that you will get a comfortable, well-fitting frame for clear vision and stylish comfort. Measuring your eyeglasses at home is pretty simple. Here is a step-by-step procedure as reflected on [39DollarGlasses.com](https://www.39dollarglasses.com) that will help you get going.

[VIDEO:lnM8BSnjUEA]

## Why Eyeglasses Measurements Matter
When buying eyeglasses online, one of the most critical details is the correct measurement of the frames. A well-measured frame will:

- Sit comfortably on your nose and ears without slipping
- Provide the best possible clarity of vision
- Complement your facial features

By following the instructions below, you can confidently choose frames that look great and feel great.

## The Basic Measurements
![frame-measurements](//images.ctfassets.net/14wnz8ylwkwd/7thS9T9nkp2RWSK85KrDvq/73af2008174d96151b1c891efed6986f/frame-measurements.png)

Eyeglasses frames are commonly measured by three basic sets of numbers, which can normally be found on the inside of your frame's temple arm:

__1. Lens Width (ex: 53 mm)__
    - This is the horizontal width of each lens.
    - A lens width that is too wide or narrow may cause distortion.

__2. Bridge Size (ex: 16 mm)__

    - This is the distance between the two lenses.
    - A small or too-large bridge may constrict or even be loosely fitted. 

__3. Temple Length (ex: 140 mm)__

    - This is the length of the arm from the front of the frame to the tip of the ear.
    - Correct temple length is what retains the frames in place but without pinching or sliding.

## Pupillary Distance (PD):
- Pupillary Distance is the distance between the center of your pupils
- The PD is important upon ordering eyeglasses, because this determines how the lenses will align properly with your eyes for accurate and clear vision correction.

## How to Measure Your Eyeglasses

__1. Prepare Your Tools__

    - A measuring tape preferably a millimeter rule or a PD rule
    - Your current pair of well-fitting spectacles

__2. Locating the Numbers on Your Current Frames__

    - Peer inside the arms of the temple; you should see some numbers like 53-16-140.
    - These are the width of the lens, the size of the bridge, and the length of the temples, in that order.

__3. Measuring the Lens Width__

    - Hold your millimeter ruler up horizontally across one lens.
    - Keep in mind that both lenses should have the same width for a balanced fit.

__4. Check the Bridge Size__

    - Measure across the inside of one lens from the left edge to the inside edge of the other lens, across the nose bridge area.
    - Ensure the ruler is flush with the frames for an accurate reading.

__5. Measure the Temple Length__

    - Place your ruler at the hinge-where the temple connects to the frame front-and measure to the tip that rests behind your ear.
    - If your frames curve around the ear, follow the curve to get the full length.

__6. Confirm Your Pupillary Distance (PD)__

    - If you have a prescription, your PD may already be included.
    - Alternatively, measure your own PD using a mirror or have a friend measure it.
    - Place the ruler directly beneath your pupils and measure across to the middle of one pupil to the middle of the other.

Check out the [39DollarGlasses Frame Measurements](https://www.39dollarglasses.com/help/eyeglasses-frames/sizes) page for further details and sizing charts to compare to your measurements.

If your measurements be within a range, you'll know which type of frame size to peruse (narrow, medium, or wide frames).

## Tips for the Best Fit
### Use a Well-Fitting Pair You Already Wear
With this, start with a pair of eyeglasses that comfortable fit you. If those measurements work, you can look for similar or slightly adjusted numbers.

### Know Your Face Shape
Round, oval, and square faces each benefit from certain frame styles. While measurement is key, balancing your face shape with the right style can help you look your best.

### Double Check With a Friend
If possible, ask someone to help you to measure for more accuracy, especially while checking your PD.

### Consult with an Optician if Needed
You can always consult an optician if you doubt any of your measurements to make sure everything fits perfectly.

Although at first seemingly tricky, measuring your eyeglasses can be quite straightforward once you have the proper tools and a bit of patience to do so. Following these steps and utilizing the [frame measurement page](https://www.39dollarglasses.com/help/eyeglasses-frames/sizes) and [video](https://youtu.be/lnM8BSnjUEA) at 39DollarGlasses.com, you'll confidently be able to determine your exact lens width, bridge size, and temple length for your next pair of frames. Now, go shop with satisfaction, enjoying comfort and confidence in perfectly fitted [eyeglasses](https://www.39dollarglasses.com/eyeglasses)!
