Prescription Glasses at Factory Prices

FYTOO sells prescription eyewear direct, cutting out the dispensing optician and the retail markup that comes with them, which is why a pair here costs a fraction of what the same prescription costs on a high street. The range covers prescription glasses and sunglasses, blue light and computer lenses, progressives, readers and clip-on accessories, with high-index options for stronger prescriptions and a virtual try-on for frame shape. Lenses are ground to order in overseas laboratories and shipped internationally, which is the trade-off: the price reflects the supply chain, and so does the delivery time, measured in weeks rather than days. Published customer feedback runs into the thousands and skews positive, with remakes for prescription errors handled without much argument.

The Number Missing From Your Prescription

Ordering glasses online fails on one measurement more often than anything else, and it is usually not on the prescription you were given. Pupillary distance is the gap between the centres of your pupils, and it determines where the optical centre of each lens sits in the frame. Get it wrong and the glasses are technically made to your prescription and still uncomfortable, producing eye strain, headaches or a faint pulling sensation that people often attribute to the prescription itself or to adjusting to new glasses. On a low prescription a small error is forgiving. On a strong one, or on progressives, it is not, because the corridor you look through is narrow and misplacing it moves the useful part of the lens away from your eye. Optometrists measure it as a matter of course and do not always write it down, since they expect to dispense the glasses themselves. You are entitled to ask for it, and asking is far better than estimating from a photograph or a ruler in a mirror. Two related points. Frame size matters more than it looks: the width across the bridge and the lens, usually printed inside the arm of a pair you already own, tells you more about fit than any photograph. And if you wear progressives, order from a prescription that is current rather than one from a few years ago, because the addition changes and a stale one produces a lens that never quite works at any distance.
