PRESCRIPTION GLASSES GUIDE

Prepare Your Prescription
Before Ordering Online

Love a frame but don't have a recent prescription? Follow these simple steps to prepare everything needed for your custom eyewear.

01

Schedule an Eye Exam

If your prescription is outdated, visit a local optometrist or vision center for an updated eye exam. You can get your prescription tested locally and order your glasses online afterward.

✓ You are not required to purchase glasses from the clinic where you receive your exam.
02

Request Your Complete Prescription

Before leaving your appointment, make sure your prescription includes the information needed for online glasses ordering:

SPH · CYL · Axis · Add (for progressive lenses)
03

Ask About Your PD Measurement

Your Pupillary Distance (PD) helps position your lenses correctly. Some eye clinics provide PD with your prescription, but others may not include it automatically.

Before leaving, ask:
"Could you please provide my PD measurement?"

Once you have your prescription and measurements ready, come back to CrazySteampunk and create your personalized vintage-inspired eyewear.
