We love our Retailers and Opticians
Its always our preference that you see your local optician to be fitted for glasses and our AYA line is carried by many stores across North America. If you let us know where you live, we can find out if we have an optician close to you to purchase our frames. It is important to get a comprehensive eye exam and an updated prescription every 2 years so you can be sure you have an accurate prescription. Make sure to ask for your pupillary distance (PD) to be included on the prescription.
If you do not want to order a prescription lens, then choose 'Demo Lenses (Frame Only). When purchasing the frame only, a demo lenses with the AYA logo comes standard. This lens helps keep the frame's shape and will be replaced with the lenses that your optician will provide and insert.
How to interpret your prescription:
OD: Indicates your right eye’s parameters
OS: Indicates your left eye’s parameters
SPH: Sphere indicates the lens power in diopters required to correct your nearsightedness (myopia) expressed in negative (-) values) or farsightedness (hyperopia) expressed in positive (+) values.
CYL and AXIS: are required together and indicate the corrective values for astigmatism
ADD: Indicates a magnifying value required for multifocal or progressive lenses. We currently DO NOT fill any prescriptions with a value in this column.
PRISM: If a value is found here it means that you have a special prescription to correct a specific eye condition. We DO NOT currently fill prism prescription glasses.
PD: Pupillary distance. This is the distance in millimeters between your pupils and it helps to center your prescription correctly in your frames. This is not always on your prescription. Please make sure to ask for it.

Prescription Lens Types
Single Vision Lenses:
- Most people order eyeglasses with single-vision prescriptions, meaning their lenses will correct for one field of vision (near or distance)
Progressive Lenses: (We currently do NOT fill progressives)
- Progressives are seamless multifocal lenses that allow you to do close-up work (reading a book), middle distance work (browsing on a computer) or distance viewing (driving) with the same pair of glasses. If you have a value in the ADD section of your prescription, it indicates that you need progressive lenses
