FAQs

To ensure the accuracy of your order, providing valid prescription details is crucial. After undergoing an eye examination, you can obtain a copy of your prescription from your optician, a service mandated by the UK Opticians Act of 1989. At Real Fashion Eyewear, we can only accept prescriptions within a two-year timeframe. If your prescription is older, it's necessary to undergo another eye test before placing an order.

Understanding optical prescriptions can be challenging. To assist you in entering it correctly online, we provide guidelines and examples from reputable sources at the Bottom Of the Page. If you encounter difficulties or have questions, feel free to reach out to our customer care team via Email,Whats App, Phone or Come in store. At Real Fashion Eyewear, we are committed to ensuring your prescription eyewear experience is clear, convenient, and tailored to your needs.

If you aim for clear vision in the distance, opt for the distance option. For tasks like reading and close work, the near option is ideal. And if you're looking for glasses tailored for intermediate viewing, such as computer screens, the computer option is the right choice. Your optician's advice ensures that your glasses match your vision requirements perfectly.

Your pupillary distance (commonly known as PD) is the accurate term for the distance between your eyes, measured from the center of one pupil to the center of the other. This measurement is crucial to ensure that your glasses provide optimal performance. It is essential for the lenses to align precisely with your PD so that the center of each lens corresponds perfectly with the center of your pupils. This precision is key to enhancing the effectiveness and comfort of your eyewear.

Having a strong prescription on a pair of glasses with an incorrect pupillary distance won't cause harm to your eyes, but it may lead to strain or discomfort. Ensuring an accurate pupillary distance is crucial for us to provide you with the most comfortable and suitable pair of glasses possible. Your comfort and visual well-being are our priorities at Real Fashion Eyewear.

Your pupillary distance is typically measured during an eye examination, but it might not always be included in your prescription. To obtain this crucial measurement, you have several options: you can ask your optician during your eye test, provide us with the measurement from an existing pair of glasses, let us calculate it for you, or use the national average. If you prefer our specialist technicians to measure the PD from your own glasses, simply send them to Real Fashion Eyewear and we'll ensure a prompt return. Please remember to select the 'Send Own Glasses for PD Check' option when placing your order, and note that there's a non-refundable charge of £5.00 for this service. Your comfort and precise measurements are our priorities.

Choosing the right frame color is a significant decision, and at Real Fashion Eyewear, we offer a diverse range, from subtle rimless styles to bold frames in vibrant hues. Consider the following color advice when selecting your frames:

Brown/Black Hair:
For those with dark natural coloring (hair, skin, and eyes), darker and bolder frames work effortlessly. Black or dark brown frames in plastic or robust metal can enhance your features without overpowering your face.

Blonde/Light Brown Hair:
Pale complexions may find dark and bold-colored frames to be overwhelming. Opt for rimless or delicate frames in caramels and tortoiseshell colors to complement your natural coloring and provide a stylish touch without being overpowering.

Grey Hair:
Silver, pewter, or rimless frames can complement grey, silver, and white hair tones. With a softer complexion as hair color fades, it's essential not to let the glasses dominate your face. For tinted lenses, choose lighter tints to avoid a heavy look. Darker or more tanned complexions can experiment with dramatic colored frames in rich bronze and gold hues.

Consider these tips to find the perfect frame color that enhances your features and complements your natural coloring.

ORDERs, DELIVERY and pick up

Yes, ordering glasses online is incredibly straightforward. All you need is your up-to-date prescription, which you can obtain from any optician. Ensure your prescription is within the last 2 years, and if it's older, a visit to your optician for a retest is necessary.

Here's a simple guide to the ordering process:

Step 1: Choose a frame you like from our extensive selection of standard and designer frames. Check if it's suitable for your lens type; all frames are compatible with single vision lenses, but some may not be suitable for multifocal lenses. Icons on our frames indicate the lens types they accommodate.

Step 2: Select your preferred frame color and size.

Step 3: Customize your glasses by adding any additional lens options you desire. Options include thinner lenses (recommended for higher prescriptions), protective lens coatings, lens tints for prescription sunglasses, or reactor light transition lenses.

Step 4: Enter your prescription, followed by your payment details, and voila, your glasses are on their way to you.

LENSES

Our maximum prescription capabilities include +/-8.00 SPH (sphere) and +/-4.00 CYL (cylinder). To optimize your visual experience, we provide recommendations for high index lenses when beneficial for specific lens powers. Our professional team is attentive to your needs and will always suggest high index materials when deemed advantageous. Opting for high index lenses not only enhances cosmetic appearance but is especially beneficial for prescriptions exceeding +4.00 sphere.

At Real Fashion Eyewear, we offer three primary lens types: single vision, bifocals, and varifocals. Our diverse frame selection accommodates varifocal and bifocal lenses, and all frames are suitable for single vision lenses.

Single vision lenses are perfect for individuals seeking spectacles solely for distance or near vision, catering to a single use. These lenses are ideal for those who do not require bifocals or varifocals.

Bifocal lenses, supplied exclusively as D28 Bifocal Lenses, provide the convenience of both distance and near powers within a single lens. The visible segment on the lenses indicates where the two powers meet.

Varifocals, similar to bifocal lenses, incorporate multiple powers for various vision needs, yet without a visible segment on the lens. This design ensures a seamless transition between different prescriptions, offering a versatile solution for your eyewear needs.

We provide a range of coatings applicable to all lenses, excluding tinted lenses. Our offerings include the Anti-scratch (Hard Coat) at a standard cost of £5.00, Anti-scratch, UV 400 protective, Anti-reflective (MAR) at a standard cost of £10.00, and sunglass tints at £5.00, with a variety of color options available.

Anti-Scratch (Hard Coated) Lenses:
This coating serves as a shield, protecting lenses from everyday scratches that could impact both vision and appearance. It enhances the durability and overall protection of your new spectacles.

Anti-Scratch and Anti-Reflection (MAR) Coating:
Combining anti-scratch properties with anti-reflection benefits, this coating safeguards the lens surfaces against scratches, reduces distractions like glare and surface reflections, and shields the eyes from harmful UV rays. Ideal for low-light conditions and glare-prone situations such as driving and computer use, the MAR coating makes the lenses nearly invisible by minimizing front surface reflectance. This not only directs focus to your eyes but also reduces reflections in photos and videos. Additionally, the MAR coating includes the advantage of UV 400 protection, guarding against potential sun-induced eye damage. UV radiation, invisible but harmful, can contribute to conditions like cataracts and macular degeneration. The UV 400 coating serves as a crucial defense, shielding against both UV-A and UV-B rays.
