What is my face shape?
In order to choose what your face shape is, first you will need to identify your facial features.
The 4 main categories of face shapes are:
Glasses and sunglasses for Oval Faces
You’re looking for a frame that will fit a face that is taller rather than wider, not angular around the jaw, and where the cheekbones are the widest part of the face.
Glasses and Sunglasses for Round Faces
You’re looking for a frame to fit a face that is roughly as long as it is wide. The jaw is round and the cheekbones are the widest part of the face.
Glasses and Sunglasses for Square Face
You’re looking for a frame to fit a face that has minimal curves, a chiseled brow and broad jawline that are roughly the same width.
Glasses and Sunglasses for Triangle Faces
You’re looking for a frame to fit a face that has a narrow forehead, widening at the cheek and chin areas. Widest on the bottom, narrowest on top.
What do I need to know about my prescription before I place an order?
Before making a purchase please make sure that your prescription:
- Is written by a certified optometrist
- Is valid (We cannot accept expired prescriptions)
- Is for eyeglasses and not for contacts (Contact lenses prescriptions can be very different from eyeglasses prescriptions. For this reason please make sure that your prescription is for eyeglasses).
- Includes Pupillary Distance (PD).
How do I place a prescription order?
We offer a wide range of clear glasses with prescription lenses. However, prescription is not available on all items we sell online. If the item is available in prescription you will see a button on the product page which says “ADD PRESCRIPTION”. To shop all of our prescription glasses you can also navigate this page which includes our widest range of prescription frames. We offer Single Vision and Progressives lenses. Once you have selected your frame and lenses, you will just need to proceed to checkout. Only after completing your order you will be asked to send a valid prescription including Pupillary Distance measurements to our customer service at the following e-mail adress: RXserviceUS@customercare.persol.com. Please remember that we will ask you to submit your prescription within 5 days from placing your order. After 5 days, your order will be automatically cancelled.
Will you verify my prescription?
A customer service agent will be responsible for verifying your prescription after you complete your purchase. Please remember that it must be a valid prescription and it must also contain Pupillary Distance (PD).
My prescription is very strong, can you fill it?
We can fill a wide range of prescriptions, including those with astigmatism. Nevertheless, we do have some limitations. If your prescription is outside the range we usually carry, do not hesitate to contact our Customer Service.
What is a Pupillary Distance (PD) measurement, and how can I measure it?
PD stands for pupillary distance, that is the space between the centre of your pupils in millimeters.
It is often not provided by your optometrist, but it is measured by the optician when you place an order for glasses.
This number tells the lens maker where to put the optical centre for your glasses, and so it should be part of your prescription details.
We highly recommend that you request for it when you see your eye care professional.

How do I send my prescription?
In order to be able to process your prescription, we require a valid prescription that includes pupillary distance (PD) measurement. We will ask you for your prescription after checkout.
E-mail your prescription at RXserviceUS@customercare.persol.com, please remember to include your order number (you will be able to find it at checkout or in the purchase confirmation e-mail you received after your purchase).
Each state has different regulations regarding the validity of eyewear prescriptions which we fully comply to.
We are unable to accept out of date prescription and will cancel orders that are sent with an out of date prescription.
Please remember that we will ask you to submit your prescription within 5 days from placing your order. After 5 days, your order will be automatically cancelled.
