Ordering prescription glasses online has never been easier—even if it’s your first time!

With Cyxus, you can complete your order in just a few steps and get stylish, high-quality glasses delivered right to your door.

5 Steps to Order Prescription Glasses Online with Cyxus

Step 1: Choose your favorite frames

Selecting your frames is the first step in buying your prescription glasses online.

You can also check out our Best Sellers — these are the most popular styles loved by our customers.

Still exploring? Take a look at our "Find Your Frames" section located at the top of our website, where you can filter by frame material, style, shape, face shape, special features, and rim style—you’ll definitely find something that suits you.

Step 2: Choose Your Prescription Type

Choose the type of lenses you need:

• Single Vision
• Progressive
• Reading
• Non-Prescription

If you’re unsure, refer to your eye doctor’s prescription or reach out to our support team for guidance.

Step 3: Upload Your Prescription

We offer 3 easy ways to provide your prescription:

• Enter manually
• Upload a file
• Email it to us later

Make sure your prescription includes:

• SPH (Sphere) for both eyes
• CYL (Cylinder) and Axis if needed
• PD (Pupillary Distance) – this is essential. If PD is missing, we won’t be able to make your glasses.

Step 4: Choose Your Lens Type

Next, select your lens options:

• Clear lenses
• Blue Light Blocking lenses – great for screen time
• Photochromic lenses – darken in sunlight

Step 5: Choose Lens Index

Choose your lens index based on your prescription strength. (Check our Prescription Guide if you’re not sure which index to choose.) This determines how thin and light your lenses will be.

• Standard Index (1.56) – ideal for low prescriptions
• Mid Index (1.61) – good for moderate prescriptions
• High Index (1.67 or 1.74) – recommended for stronger prescriptions to keep lenses thin and comfortable

Step 5: Add to cart and pay

Once you’ve added your frame, lens, and prescription details, simply proceed to checkout. We offer secure payment options and various shipping methods for your convenience.

After your order is placed, our team will begin crafting your custom glasses and keep you updated along the way.
