How can I contact you to ask about a specific product?

Every product page near the bottom of the page has a rectangle box with the phrase "ask a question". Click on that box and a dropdown menu will appear with boxes where you can enter your name, your email or contact phone number and a text box where you can explain what it is you are needing assistance with or wanting additional information about. When we see this message it will have the product page link you are referring to.

Will the numbers printed on the frames in the photos match the ones I receive—and are the material, temple style and measurements correct?

The numbers or symbols you see in the photos come from our first-production sample; any later production runs (second, third batch, etc.) often carry a different factory code. So the digits on your frames may not match the pictures, but the material, temple shape, measurements and every spec listed on the product page are identical to the pair you’ll receive.

I just want to order frames, what do I do

To order just the frames select the eyeglass frame color variant you like and then choose the option which says Add to Cart and proceed through the checkout process. Unless otherwise specified, all eyeglass frames come with MR-3 Plastic Demo Lenses. These lenses can easily be removed by your local optometrist and your customized prescription lenses can be purchased and inserted by the optical store of your choice.

How can I order prescription lenses?

Ordering Lenses is very simple in FuzWeb. If we carry lenses for that brand you will see the option box "Select Lenses and Purchase". Click on that button and follow the prompts to checkout.

Why do I need special lenses for rimless frames?

Special lenses are required for rimless eyeglass frames due to the design and construction of these frames. Rimless frames have holes drilled into the lenses to hold them securely in place. These holes create stress points, which can weaken standard lenses made of lower-index materials. We recommend MR-8â„¢ 1.61 Index lenses for rimless frames because they are strong, lightweight, and offer clear vision. They can withstand drilling and hold a tint longer than other materials. You can also choose 1.67 MR-7â„¢ Index lenses for similar benefits. Enjoy durable and high-quality lenses for your rimless eyeglasses.

What does PD mean and how can I find mine?

PD stands for Pupillary Distance, which is the measurement of the distance between the centers of your pupils in millimeters. It is an important measurement used to ensure the proper alignment of your lenses with your eyes. To find your PD, you can use a millimeter ruler and a mirror. Simply hold the ruler against your brow line and measure the distance between the centers of your pupils.

At FuzWeb.com, we understand that obtaining your PD measurement may not always be easy. That's why we provide a convenient PD finder tool in the area where you can manually input your eyeglass prescription values. This tool allows you to determine your PD accurately and easily, ensuring that your lenses are customized to your unique needs. For a detailed view of this please go here: How To Order Lenses

What is segment height and can I still order progressive prescription lenses without it?

Segment height is the part of your progressive lenses where the strength of your prescription changes. It is measured from the bottom inside of the lens to the center of your pupil when you wear the glasses. The segment height varies for each pair of glasses due to different frame sizes. Don't worry if you don't know your segment height because every frame we offer comes with a predetermined factory segment height. Just choose the value 13 in the Segment Height dropdown options and we will do the rest.

I got my progressive lenses but I can't see properly out of them. What can I do?
  1. Wear them full-time for 7 days (no switching to old glasses).
  2. Take the glasses to any local optical store for a professional nose-pad and temple adjustment (usually free or a small walk-in fee).
  3. Check that the PD and seg-height printed on your invoice match your prescription. If they do not match what you submitted, contact us: we remake the lenses at our cost, or refund you instead if you prefer — the choice is yours.
  4. Use the lenses correctly: point your nose at what you want to see and tilt your head slightly down for stairs.
  5. If vision is still unclear after 10 days, email us at info@fuzweb.com. If the lenses were made correctly to the parameters you submitted, they cannot be remade free of charge. If the error was on our side, you choose: a remake at our cost, or a full refund.
  6. Please remember to include the prescription card that came in the package and a lensometer print-out from any local optical store showing the prescription that is currently in the lenses.

Different Types Of Lenses

To ensure a better informed shopping experience here is some information about lens options.

What are the different lens materials?

At FuzWeb, we offer four different lens materials for your eyeglasses. Let's take a look at each one:

  1. CR-39: This is the most common lens material, made from a type of plastic called Columbia Resin 39. It provides clear vision and is suitable for most prescriptions.
  2. Polycarbonate: This lens material is known for its durability and impact resistance. It is commonly used in making shatterproof windows, making it a great choice for active individuals.
  3. Polyurethane: Another option we offer is Polyurethane. This material provides excellent optical clarity and is resistant to scratches and damage.
  4. MR-8â„¢: Our special lens material, MR-8â„¢, is specifically designed for rimless frames. It is a unique blend of high-quality plastics, providing strength and durability for these types of frames.

Each lens material has its own advantages, and our team can help you choose the best one based on your needs and preferences.

What does Index mean in a lens?

Lens index refers to the measurement of how efficiently a lens can bend light. It is a numerical value that indicates the thickness of the lens based on the prescription. Higher lens indexes indicate thinner and lighter lenses, while lower indexes indicate thicker and heavier lenses. Lens index is important because it determines the overall thickness and weight of your eyeglasses. By choosing the appropriate lens index based on your prescription, you can ensure that your eyeglasses are comfortable to wear and provide you with clear vision.

What are Photochromic Lenses?

Photochromic lenses, often called "Transition" lenses, automatically adapt to changing light levels by darkening outdoors and returning to clear indoors. Containing specialized dyes that react to sunlight, they absorb 100% of UVA and UVB rays to safeguard your eyes from radiation damage. This automatic tinting provides everyday convenience by eliminating the need to constantly switch between regular prescription glasses and traditional sunglasses.

It is a common misconception that photochromic lenses perform identically to sunglasses simply because they darken. Standard photochromic lenses are not polarized and do not block the harsh, blinding glare reflected off surfaces like water, snow, or roads. Additionally, the tinting process takes a moment to activate in bright light, and because car windshields block UV rays, these lenses will not darken significantly while driving.

While photochromic lenses offer great visual clarity and daily UV protection, they are not a complete substitute for dedicated polarized sunglasses during high-glare activities. It is important to consider your lifestyle and consult with an eye care professional to determine if photochromic lenses, polarized sunglasses, or a combination of both are the best choice for your visual needs.

Do photochromic lenses wear out?

Yes, photochromic lenses can wear out over time. The ability of the lenses to change darkness in response to light may diminish after prolonged use. On average, photochromic lenses can last for about two to three years before you may notice a decrease in their effectiveness. However, this lifespan can vary depending on factors such as the brand, quality, and the amount of exposure to sunlight. If you notice that your photochromic lenses are not darkening as effectively as before, it may be a sign that they need to be replaced.

What is the difference between bifocal and progressive lenses?

Bifocal and progressive lenses are both used to correct presbyopia, but they differ in how they provide vision correction. Bifocal lenses, made of 1.56 index material, have a visible line that separates two distinct areas for distance and near vision. However, it's important to note that these lenses cannot be inserted into rimless frames because the drilling process for rimless frames can weaken the lens material around the edges, increasing the risk of cracking or breaking.

On the other hand, progressive lenses offer a seamless transition between different lens powers without any visible lines. Only the 1.61 MR-8 and 1.67 MR-7 resin options are suitable for rimless frames, as they are specifically designed to withstand the drilling of holes into the outer edges of the lenses. Therefore, if you have rimless frames and require multifocal correction, it is recommended to choose progressive lenses with either 1.61 MR-8 or 1.67 MR-7 lens index, as they can endure the necessary drilling without compromising the structural integrity of the lenses.

Shipping

Here are some frequently asked questions about the shipment protocols of your eyeglasses.

How much time will pass from when I purchase my prescription glasses until I receive them?

From the moment you place your order to the moment it arrives at your door, expect 7 to 18 business days within the United States. That complete window includes both making your glasses and shipping them.

Ready-made frames without prescription lenses leave us in 1 to 3 business days. Prescription and custom lenses take up to 7 business days to make, because each pair is ground to your own parameters. Glitter edged lenses use that full window, and all progressive lenses require an extra day or two of customization. Stronger prescriptions and high cylinder values sit at the longer end of the range — all within the 7 to 18 business days above. Orders placed on a Saturday, Sunday or a public holiday start processing the next working day.

Once the lenses are created, they are assembled into the frames and placed in a queue line for packaging and shipping.

How can I track my shipment?

All tracking updates arrive by e-mail — new U.S. rules no longer allow SMS tracking links. Automated e-mails update you when your tracking number is issued (right after final inspection and packing), if the number changes, and when it goes active with your local delivery courier — each one includes the tracking number and the tracking website for your country. Don't see it? Check your junk or spam folder.

The tracking on my order says 'Pending Shipping by Seller', what does this mean?

When orders are prepared and packaged for shipment, they are placed in a queue line prior to packaging and then after the package is sealed a tracking number is generated and issued. The package then goes into a holding storage and awaits courier pick up. The courier will scan the tracking number into their database and only at that point does tracking update from that message. Couriers transport packages by land to their nearest logistics hub where they are assigned according to their destination country. Every time a package passes through a checkpoint it gets scanned.

The tracking shows it arrived into my country but now there has not been any update since. Where is my package?

When you see that your tracked package has arrived into the destination country it has to be inspected by customs and duty agents and cleared to enter the country. This process can take several days depending on the point of entry into the country and how busy they are. Once a package clears customs tracking usually updates within international databases and also within local postal tracking databases. Once packages have cleared customs check tracking frequently on both international and national postal tracking websites accordingly.

Returns

Here are some frequently asked questions about returning items.

How can I submit a return on prescription eyeglasses, eyeglass frames, sunglasses or reading glasses I don't like?
