Buying guide: How to buy glasses online

Buying guide: How to buy glasses online

A necessity for some, a hobby for others, online shopping has become a widespread activity in our homes. Looking at the items on your screen has many advantages over going to the store.

Did you know that you can also shop for glasses online? Take a look at our buying guide that includes a few simple steps to help you choose your new pair of glasses!

 

1. Have a valid prescription

The basis of buying glasses online is to have a valid prescription. It also needs to be up to date, so that your new glasses correct your vision in the best way possible. Prescriptions can be complex to decipher, so don't hesitate to ask an eye care professional questions in order to understand, if needed. And to get a valid, up-to-date prescription, book an eye exam!

 

2. Take your 3D scan

Anywhere else on the market, ordering glasses online is an experience that requires a lot of effort, for a rather disappointing and uncomfortable result. But those days are over! Our New Look Eyewear iPhone app allows you to scan your face with ultra-precise measurements delivering a pair of glasses perfect for you, right at your doorstep. This is where the New Look advantage lies: the innovative technology of our app guarantees you glasses of the same precision as those offered in-store. Topology uses cutting-edge technology in augmented reality to create high-quality eyewear.

3. Personalize your glasses

You can personalize your glasses so that they suit you 100%. Going from indoors to outdoors? Try Transitions lenses that react to light. Spend a lot of time indoors? Choose lenses made for the office and home. Prefer a more discreet design? Choose your level of lens thickness from our selection. With added blue light or UV protection and polarized lenses, we offer seamless personalization.

4. Take advantage of our satisfaction guarantee

As with any purchase, you may change your mind after the transaction. To accommodate your reality and offer you peace of mind, we offer a 30-day satisfaction guarantee. If you are not satisfied, we will exchange or refund your glasses. After all, your glasses accompany you in so many areas of your life that they have to be perfect!

5. Ask for an expert opinion online

If you have any doubts or questions, you can benefit from the same service as in-store to find the glasses that suit your tastes and needs. Schedule an appointment with our experts and they will make recommendations based on your face and your budget. We are here to help you find the perfect frame for you!
