Sending your Prescription
Now tell us how you want to send your prescription. You can send us the original prescription or a photocopy of it by post, or fax.

Interpreting your Prescription
All of our spectacle frames have a guide showing the maximum prescription we can supply into that frame:

Please look at your prescription when choosing your frame to see if the numbers shown under Sph (or Sphere) and Cyl (or Cylinder) are bigger than those shown in the Maximum prescripion section of the frame description. If they are, we will probably be unable to supply your prescription in that model. If you're not sure how to inperpret your prescription, please contact us.

For most frames, we also recommend when you should consider choosing thinner lenses. We don't force you to have thinner lenses with any product, but if your prescription is higher than the figure shown in this recommendation, your new glasses would look much better and be more comfortable to wear with thinner lenses.
