• How can I know my eyes prescription without visiting my eye doctor?

  It sounds like you need an exam again to get your prescription.Other place like Lenscrafters,Walmart and some optical store can also give eye exam in low price.You can go and have a look.

• Can I get the Anti-scratch coating after my glasses are cut?

  Some optical stores are unwilling to add the anti-scratch coating to your lenses if it has already been cut. While there are still opticians that are willing to do it for you. But it may be costly. If you do want to add the anti-scratch coating to your glasses lens, you can shop around to see which store can help you.

• Does the optometrist keep my prescription?

  Make sure your prescription is still valid. Every optician will keep the customer's information on file. So you can retrieve your prescription from your optometrist as long as you go back there and show him the reciept in order to let him know that you've done an eye exam before there. Then he will write down the prescription to you.

• Are anti scratch lens supposed to be thicker than regular lens?

  If the left lens is much thicker than the right,I think there may be something wrong in "refractive index" or "material" for the lens.You can go back to the store and have a check.

• Could I get contact lenses prescription at eye exam?

  You can. They just need to measure the base curvature of your eye apart from the regular procedures for glasses.

• Is it possible to add anti-scratch coating to my lenses?

  Yes. You can take your glasses back to the place where you bought your glasses and ask them to add anti-scratch coating to your lenses. They will send your glasses to their lab and the technician will do it for you. It may take you some time to get your glasses back.

• Can I get my eye prescription for free?

  If the prescription is not expired,you can ask for a copy of it.There is no reason to charge you again.

• Is it against the law to buy prescription glasses online?

  Of course it is not illegal to buy prescription glasses online. More and more people tend to buy glasses online cuz they are much cheaper than the optical store.Your doctor is reluctant to give you the prescription cuz he wanted to make money from you but you have the right to get prescription from him.
