A pioneer in online shopping, Clearly launched their first site in 2000 selling contact lenses, but they always knew they wanted to do more. Within a few years, they began offering a curated selection of designer glasses and sunglasses as well. Driven by a passion to bring prescription eyewear to people who often found it out of reach. And they didn’t stop there.
Clearly knows that choosing a style that sits front and centre on your face is a daunting task. Just like no two faces are identical, every combination of frames and lenses is unique as well. That’s why Clearly tailor their design process — from materials to styles, and even lens options — to ensure that they always have something just for you.
How to Buy Glasses Online
The thought of learning how to buy glasses online can seem like a daunting task. Without having the frames in front of you, it can be difficult to know which styles will fit you best.
Clearly take you through each and every step of the process so that you can feel confident finding your perfect pair.
Step 1: Know your prescription and measurements
Before getting started, ensure that you have an accurate prescription from your eye care professional.
Contact lenses and eyeglasses require different prescriptions so if you need help reading yours, take a look at Clearly’s guide on how to read your glasses and contact lens prescriptions.
You’ll also want to make sure that you have your eyewear measurements on-hand. Clearly know that fit can be challenging, so this will help them find you the right pair.
If you don’t know your measurements, you can take a look along the temple arm of your existing pair of glasses or sunglasses. Your measurements will be listed in the order of lens width, bridge width, and arm length.
If you don’t see any numbers listed on your current pair, you can grab a ruler and measure your glasses or sunglasses (in millimeters) using this diagram for reference:
Step 2: Use the MyFit tool
Once you’ve found your measurements, you can use the MyFit tool to help you narrow down your options. Simply enter the measurements that you found above and the MyFit tool will curate a selection of glasses just for you.
Step 3: Pick your style
When thinking about which styles are right for you, consider these two things:
Which styles suit my face shape?
This can be a tricky one. But knowing which shape (heart, round, oval, or square) you most closely resemble is the key. If you need a little help, check out Clearly’s Face Shape Guide for Glasses.
What type of frame will epitomize my individual style?
Once you’ve narrowed down which frame shapes will complement your features, you can decide on a style that speaks to your unique aesthetic. Do you prefer something with a little vintage flair, or something simple and sophisticated? This is completely up to you, so go wild.
Step 4: Place your order
The hard part is over. You’ve found your ideal pair and you’re ready to check out. Simply enter your prescription, lens preference, shipping details, and preferred method of payment.
Derek Cardigan is one of Clearly’s earliest team members. With his natural talent for design, he has worked with Clearly to create one of their first ranges of exclusive eyewear. That line – Derek Cardigan, featuring the famous ‘math symbol frames launched in 2010 and is beloved by fans for its geeky-chic signature details and retro-inspired designs.
The Derek Cardigan 7027 eyeglasses offer a bold take on a vintage classic. Manufactured in handmade Italian acetate, this glossy Retro Wingtip style is best suited to wider cheekbones and narrower jaws. Polished spring hinges and subtle accents at each temple complete this distinct look.
Very simple yet stylish. The frames are extremely lightweight however very durable. Perfect for everyday use.
Did you know?
Though considered a basic human right, did you know that 2.5 billion people (one third of the world’s population) don’t have good vision or access to good vision services?
That’s why Clearly has joined forces with the Essilor Vision Foundation to help bring improved sight to millions through their new initiative, and you can help too. For every pair of glasses bought, Clearly will donate a pair of glasses to someone in need.
If you don’t absolutely love your glasses — including the fit, the style, the lens type, and how your prescription works in the frame — Clearly offers free returns for 30 days after your delivery date. Their only ambition is to make sure that you have the perfect pair, so if you need to talk to them about an exchange or return, they’re there to help with whatever you need.
