  • Stylish Hard Eyeglass Case

  • Premium Cleaning Cloth

  • Lens Care Instruction Card

  • Fashion Forward Frame Styles

  • Professional Customer Service

  • 100% Guarantee

We guarantee quality that equals any doctor's office or optical clinic in a traditional "brick and mortar" retail location.

Q. How long will it take to process my order?
A. Normally it will take less than 24 Hrs to be processed and will be shipped back to you within 24- 48 Hrs after that. In case of a complicated prescription, it can take a little longer. Overall time including shipping (within the USA) should be about 1 week.

Q. How much will I have to pay for my cheap eyeglasses?
A. Costs vary, depending on the type of lens and options that you choose. To keep things simple we charge one price for any frame. Some of our competitors advertise different prices for different frames. With them you usually end up paying more for the better looking and better quality styles. At AffordableVision.com we have decided not to play that game. We feel that our cheap eyeglasses will meet most any budget. As always you get what you pay for.

Q. How much are your shipping charges?
Regular USPS (5-7 Business Days).....7.99 US
UPS 3 Day Select (3 Business Days)......19.99 US
International.......(Please contact us for details.)
(Please note that the delivery time is calculated from the day the eyeglasses are completed and shipped; Not when they are ordered.)

Q. Do you sell Bifocal and Progressive eyeglasses?
A. Yes we do. Please see our Bifocal/Progressive frame collection.

Q. Can I buy glasses with no prescription in the lenses?
A. Yes, just choose the "Frames Only" option and you will just get the frame.

Q. Cylinder, Axis and N.V (Add) were omitted from my prescription. How should I complete this entry?
A. Not all prescriptions have Cylinder, Axis, and N.V (ADD). This would mean that you do not have an astigmatism correction (Cylinder and Axis) and you do not have a reading addition (N.V or ADD). If your doctor omitted this information, you must enter a 0 (zero) in the corresponding fields on the prescription form.

Q. Can I get my glasses shipped to Post Office boxes?
A. Yes, you can. We use USPS for most of our orders and will use delivery confirmation.

Q. I made a mistake while filling my order. What should I do?
A. We request you to be very careful while filling up the order form. Still, if a mistake has occurred, immediately email us at orders@affordablevision.com. Please note that AffordableVision.com may not be responsible if you enter the wrong prescription during the order process.

Q. Can I use my contact lens prescription to purchase eyeglasses?
A. No, you can't. Your contact lens prescription and eyeglass prescription are different. Therefore, we suggest that you get a new eyeglass prescription from your doctor.

Q. I have received my eyeglasses and I think they need a slight adjustment. What should I do?
A. At AffordableVision.com all eyeglasses are thoroughly inspected by an experienced lab technician prior to shipping. Please consider that when you first recieve your eyeglasses from us they have not been adjusted personally to fit your face. If you think you need a slight adjustment on your end most optical stores will do it at no charge.

Q. Will my purchase be reimbursable by my Optical Plan or Insurance?
A. Please check with your carrier to see what their reimbursement policy is. Please verify this first if you have any questions as we do not bill insurance companies. Your paid invoice may be reimbursable. You may be able to submit your receipt as an out of network purchase.

Q. Do you have a money back guarantee?
A. Please refer to our refund policy in this section for details.

Q. Can you order single vision eyeglasses with a progressive prescription?
A. Yes you can, just don't include the ADD power. If this is the case please let us know that this is your preference in the event that you forget and include the ADD power.

Q. How do I place an order with AffordableVision.com?
A. Please click on the "How to Order" button for details.

Q. Is buying eyeglasses on the internet advisable?
A. Don't be afraid of buying online. You just have to look closely at the dimensions of the frame given with each frame description to be sure whether its size will fit you or not. Please see our answer to "How Do I Know What Size Eyeglass Frame I Need" for more details. Many Doctor's or Opticians may say otherwise however this is the same quality they are offering. Our lab has been providing Doctor's across the nation with their lenses for many years. We feel that in the years to come many people will see the tremendous savings that we can offer online by selling cheap eyeglasses that match others in quality. We keep our overhead expenses low and pass those savings on to you. We do not have the high monthly expenses that a "brick and mortar" location such as a Doctor's office or clinic has. Somebody has to pay for those expenses. Typically you do by paying 3x's more than the Doctor does for your frames and lenses.

Q. Does low price mean low quality?
A. With other companies quite possibly but never with us! The quality of products that AffordableVision.com offers is second to none. Only frames with superb quality are offered as well as name brand lenses. Others may choose to supply you with an inferior product that may look good but we choose to offer you a better overall product. An $8.00 pair of eyeglasses that some companies offer should be looked at very closely.

Q. I received damaged or incorrect product. What do I do?
A. Please refer to our refund policy or contact us at orders@affordablevision.com for assistance.

Q. Why are your prices so low?
A. Controlled overhead expenses enable us to sell at such prices. We keep our expenses low and pass the savings on to you. We manufacture our own frames overseas and have complete control over all aspects of production. Most of our competitors cannot say the same. We then bring these frames directly to you. We do not use middlemen and have no retail overhead expenses. We sell our frames and lenses to you at the same wholesale cost that most doctors pay. We just don't mark the eyeglasses up 3x's and resell them to you.

Q. How secure is my information and credit card details?
A. Your credit card is processed by USA based Paypal where your information is 100% secure. We don't retain or process your credit card. The other details are always secure on our servers.

Q. I left an email message on your customer support center. No body replied. What do I do?
A. We constantly monitor our system. At times due to spam detectors installed on destination servers; our emails are blocked. In such cases we highly recommend you to contact us through our email address which adds our email to the system allowing our emails to get to your inbox easily.

Q. I don't find an answer to my question. Whom do I have to contact?
A. You can contact us at info@affordablevision.com for prompt replies.

Q. How do I know what size eyeglass frame I need?
A. Take a look at the earpiece (temple) or eyeglass bridge of your current eyeglasses. You will see a number imprinted there such as 47-20-140 etc. This is the size of your eyeglass frame. It is important to stay within these measurements for your new style. If you want, you can increase or decrease it by a millimeter or so. If the number has worn off you may be able to get it from the location that you purchased your current glasses at. They sometimes keep this in your records. It's worth a try. If you would like, you can send us your current frame size we will be happy to offer a suggestion on a comparable frame style that we carry. In the example below 47 is the lens width, 20 is the bridge distance between the lenses and 140 is the temple length. Most frames do not usually list the overall frame width or lens height. It is a good idea to know these on your current frame so you can get a new frame that is comparable. For your convenience AffordableVision.com lists all these measurements in our descriptions. Please keep in mind that these numbers are in millimeters. Simply use a ruler that has millimeters listed on it.


Q. What is your refund policy?


I am not happy with the color, size or shape of the frame
AffordableVision.com may not be held responsible if you have chosen a frame that is not your size and/or a color and shape that you do not like.

I never received my eyeglasses or they arrived damaged
If the product is lost in transit you may claim an immediate replacement for the same frame style and color along with the lenses for that frame. (For your protection we do use Delivery Confirmation on all orders to verify delivery and date). Prior to all orders being shipped each pair of eyeglasses is hand examined by a certified technician with many years experience and packed in a hard eyeglass case. Proper packaging is then supplied to further protect your purchase. In this manner the chances of breakage are very minimal. In the event that your eyeglasses arrive damaged AffordableVision.com will replace your same frame style and color and/or lenses. You will have 14 days from the date of delivery to you to contact us regarding replacement. We will ask you to send a digital picture of the damaged merchandise that you received for our Damage Control records.

The frame broke after a few days
We have been manufacturing our own frames for many years and will stand behind a replacement for manufacturer's defects on our frames for a period of 14 days from the date of delivery to you. If the frame is broken and after examination it is determined it is not a manufacturer's defect we may not be held responsible. In such cases you can contact our sales department at orders@affordablevision.com to solve such problems

The Lenses are not as my original prescription
It is very rare that the lenses produced by us are not as per your prescription but if this is the case the AffordableVision.com is 100% responsible for reshipment. Should your prescribing physician discover any variance from the z80 federal recommended standard we will remake your lenses for your same frame style at not charge. You will be responsible for obtaining proof that your prescription is incorrect. In a case where you have entered the wrong prescription during the ordering process, AffordableVision.com may not be held responsible. Please keep in mind that if your prescription has changed since your last exam you eyes may take some time to adjust to your new prescription.

I am not happy with the thickness of lenses or lens edges on my eyeglasses
AffordableVision.com may not be responsible in this case as the lens thickness also depends upon the size of the frame.

You must return the product at your own cost on any and all returns. The package must be postmarked within 14 days from the date delivered to you.

It is the policy of AffordableVision.com to offer a same exchange only program in any situation where a frame needs to be replaced. This means we will exchange the same frame style, color and size as your purchased frame. In the event that we made the wrong prescription lenses we will replace the lenses for your same frame style at no charge. As lenses are a custom made product we cannot offer any other type of exchange in other situations.

Whom to contact in such cases:
You can contact us at orders@affordablevision.com to discuss any potential replacements or to discuss any other issues related to your order.
