F.A.Q | THOSOO - NEW SITE

- Frequently Asked Questions -

Below you will find the answers to most commonly asked questions. If you don't see what your looking for feel free to ask us and we'll do our best to answer all your questions.

What can I do if my frames don't fit perfectly?

Call / E-mail within the first 14 days after you've received the glasses. If the frame is defective, we’ll replace it with a new pair. If you picked a frame that's too big or too small, we can size and fit your frame perfectly.

Do you sell frames without lenses?

Yes, you can purchase frames only without prescription lenses. In the steps of Lens Selection select NON-PRESCRIPTION lenses. If you decide to purchase lenses later, you can send your frames back to us and we will add the prescription lenses to them.

What kind of frames are sold at Thosoo Eyewear?

Thosoo Eyewear offers quality lenses that are checked for perfection at every step of our manufacturing process.

We offer full rim, semi-rimless, and rimless frames to fit every style and budget.

How do I know which lens material to choose?

Plastic lenses are recommended for light prescriptions, ranging from no correction to +/1.75.
Polycarbonate lenses are 30% thinner and lighter than plastic and recommended for people with prescriptions ranging from +/- 2.00 to +/-4.00. Polycarbonate is also recommended for children under 18 years of age and anyone who has an active lifestyle, due to its impact-resistance. Rimless and semi-rimless frames also work best with polycarbonate lenses.
1.67 Hi-Index lenses are 45% thinner than plastic lenses and help reduce the distortion of your eyes that people see when they look at you through your glasses. This lens material is recommended for people with prescriptions of +/- 2.00 and greater.

All of our lenses automatically come with a scratch-resistant coating and edge polishing. Other coatings can be added to your lenses for an additional fee

Anti-reflective (AR) coating is a clear coating that minimizes glare on the front & back of your lenses. AR is a must-have on coating any pair of glasses since it reduces eye fatigue.
Transitions® lenses automatically lighten & darken to adjust to outdoor light conditions. This is ideal for people who do not want to constantly switch back and forth between prescription eyeglasses and prescription sunglasses.

UV Protection blocks harmful UV rays from reaching your eyes. UV protection is so important that we automatically include it with all polycarbonate and hi-index lenses as well as any plastic lenses that use other add-on coatings.

- PRESCRIPTIONS (RX) -

What is pupillary distance (PD) and how do I measure mine?

PD is the distance in millimeters between the center of one pupil to the other measured in millimeters. Your PD is included in your prescription.

Pupillary distance (PD) is simply the distance (in millimeters) between the centers of your pupils. PD is important because it helps our lab figure out where the optical center of your lenses should be. Ask your eye doctor to include your PD when they write out your prescription. If your eye care professional cannot provide your PD, we can help you determine this measurement using our proprietary tools.
