How to Order Reading Glasses​​​

Ordering your personalized Zenni prescription reading glasses is as easy as flipping through your favorite book.

  1. Choose your frame: Whether you're a classic cat-eye connoisseur or a bold, geometric enthusiast, there's a Zenni frame out there waiting to complement your unique personality.

  2. Select "Single Vision": Select "Single Vision" to specify your need for reading-focused lenses. This ensures optimal clarity for close-up tasks while leaving distance vision untouched.

  3. Enter your PD: Your pupillary distance (PD), the distance between your pupils, is essential for precise prescription lens alignment. Most likely, you have a distance PD measurement (the one you use for distance, bifocal, or progressive glasses).

    • Single PD: To get your near single PD, subtract 3. Example: Distance PD = 63mm, Near PD = 60mm.

    • Dual PD: You'll have two numbers, one for each eye (right eye first, left eye second). Subtract 1.5mm from each to get your near dual PD. Example: Dual PD = 32/31mm, Near Dual PD = 30.5/29.5mm (right eye first, left eye second).

  4. Enter Your Prescription: Now for the magic ingredient – your reading prescription! If your doctor didn't provide a separate reading prescription, no worries! If your prescription has an ADD, you can convert your prescription for reading with these steps:

    • Find the ADD power in your prescription. This is the additional power needed for close-up activities, like reading.

    • For each eye, combine the ADD with the sphere (SPH) value. SPH + ADD = Reading SPH

      • Example:

        • Original Rx:

          • OD: Sphere ​​​-2.50 Cylinder -0.50 Axis 150 ADD 2.00

          • OS: Sphere ​​​-3.50 Cylinder -0.50 Axis 150 ADD 2.00

        • Converted Reading Rx:

          • OD: Sphere ​​​-0.50 Cylinder -0.50 Axis 150

          • OS: Sphere ​​​-1.50 Cylinder -0.50 Axis 150​​​

  5. Customized Clarity: Submit your prescription and personalize your reading glasses with options like Blokz® blue light blocking lenses, anti-reflective coatings, clip-ons, and frame engravings.
