Buy Prescription Glasses Online

Eyewear at Edel-Optics - SEE AND BE SEEN

Whether it's men's glasses, women's glasses, children's glasses, glasses for work, gaming glasses, reading glasses, blue light glasses, glasses with prescription or non prescription glasses, we offer all the major branded and designer glasses online. Our most popular brands include: Ray-Ban glasses, Tom Ford, Oakley, Detroit, Porsche Design, Prada and Boss. According to our motto "SEE AND BE SEEN", we know like no one else that at the end of the day, it's style AND quality that counts.

Even among stars, fashionable glasses frames have long ceased to be a necessity and have become fashionable accessories or even a trademark look. Just think of Steve Jobs, Johnny Depp, Queen Elizabeth II, Steven Spielberg, Meryl Streep, Woody Allen, Elton John or Anne Hathaway. And these are just a few, easy examples of a list of glasses-wearing celebrities that is so long that there is no room for it here! To experience the glitter and glamour of the stars, you should leave your contact lenses at home and put on a pair of glasses that perfectly complements your style and face shape instead. Read on for an overview of details of our services and advice on how to order prescription glasses online!

Glasses with Prescription Lenses

It goes without saying that our excellent opticians not only understand their craft but also how important it is that you can see sharply, even from the back row, and feel confident with your new look. When it comes to prescription eyeglasses, we can quickly resolve any questions with our expertise. Of course, not all eyesight problems are the same.

In terms of ** single vision lenses**, you simply have to choose between short-sightedness (myopia) and far-sightedness (hyperopia). You should choose a thicker frame for high dioptre values in the minus range.

Reading glasses are sufficient for the majority of glasses-wearers. Around the age of 40, presbyopia, i.e. the natural loss of eye function, begins to leave its first traces. This is neither short-sightedness nor farsightedness, which is why an additional corrective aid in the form of prescription glasses or sunglasses is required. These are specialised for the close range of ca. 30 to 45 centimetres. Although reading glasses are a good solution, they have to be put on and taken off again and again because they are not designed for looking into the distance. For this reason, the frames of the lenses are often designed very narrowly to make it easier to look over the edge.

Varifocals, with a progression between short- and long-distance in their lenses, can be a suitable alternative, as they don't need to be frequently put on or taken off. Currently, we don't offer these online but if you happen to be based locally in Hamburg then you are most welcome to visit one of our physical stores where we can arrange this type of lens for you. As for online prescription glasses, we only offer single vision lenses.

Non-Prescription Glasses & Customisation

Whether it's for fashion purposes or for reducing blue-light strain, those of you looking for glasses without prescription lenses or "non-prescription glasses" won't be disappointed. All of our glasses frames can be ordered with window lenses, a.k.a clear lenses. You can also customise them with an anti-blue light filter coating (blue light glasses are especially useful if you’re spending long hours looking at computer screens). We also offer anti-scratch or extra hardening for the lenses as well as other features that you can find out about by clicking on "order with prescription" on the product of your choice. If you just want window lenses then click "Add to cart" or if you want window lenses with customisations then click "order with prescription".

Our Filter Functions Allow You to Buy Prescription Glasses Online Easily

To make the search for your new glasses as easy as possible, you should take a moment to look at our filter functions in the left navigation bar. Here you can narrow down your selection so you can find your dream pair of spectacles easily.

• Size: The rule of thumb is that the frame should not be wider or narrower than your face. This means the arms of the glasses should be just slightly angled outwards from the front of the frame, not too much, and certainly not angled inwards. Exceptions to this rule are extravagant frames designed to surprise. Do you already own a pair that fits well? Then you can simply measure the size of the lens with a ruler across the width, from inside edge to inside edge, and then check the lens size on the product details. If you still have doubts, then our "Master of Glasses" can help with a few helpful tips on ascertaining the right size of glasses.

• Glasses shape: Do you already know what shape you would like? Maybe you'd like a Rectangle, Square, Panto, Cat-Eye shape or rather a round, rectangular or **oval frame? Then just select this shape directly from the filter.

• Frame type: With this filter, the different models are sorted by rimless, full frame or half frame. Rimless glasses convey a delicate and minimalist look. Full frame glasses are considered the classic variant, but thanks to a wide variety of colours and shapes they can quickly become an eye-catching, trendy accessory. Semi-framed glasses are another category altogether. While glasses with lower half rim are mostly used for reading, glasses with upper half rim are new, contemporary styles that are less conspicuous in appearance than full rim frames.

• Colour: You can choose your frame colour according to your hair and eye colour. For lighter hair colours, golds, browns or pastel colours always work well, while darker hair colours can suit the stronger tones in the colour pot. Of course, we also have everything else that the heart or the eyes can desire. Classic black glasses, are always fashionably up-to-date. From grey and blue to red and pink to silver glasses, we have everything you need. Of course, we also offer white and transparent frames. We also have models of glasses for the more extravagant individuals among spectacle enthusiasts in stock. For example, yellow, orange, green or purple glasses. Glasses with Animal Print, made of wood or Vintage or Retro-Look always provide a fresh breeze and are popular in the world of eyewear.

• Material: If you're looking for a specific frame material, this filter will help. Plastic frames are comfortable to wear and offer a variety of shapes and colours. Metal, Titanium or Carbon on the other hand are best suited to classic looks, are extremely robust and can be used in very thin frames.

• Brands: With us you'll find every brand your eyes could desire. We offer all of the well known designer brands including Tommy Hilfiger, Dolce & Gabbana, Gucci, Emporio Armani, Burberry, Persol, Esprit, JB by Jerome Boateng and Strellson.

Choosing Glasses Based on Face Shape

You might have all your outfits ready for the whole year, but you still need that special something to complete them. So if you’re looking to buy glasses online, then you've come to the right place! You can also get information from our Master of Glasses, who always has useful tips for you.

Face shape: Below you will find a list of frames that ideally match your face shape and compliment your features. Whether you have a round, cornered, heart-shaped or oval face, you will find everything your heart desires with just a few clicks. You can easily find out which frames accentuate your face type particularly well in our Tutorial

• Heart-shaped face: Cat-Eye Glasses as well as Butterfly or Butterfly Glasses are popular for this face shape due to their upward curvature. Another option is round glasses or oval glasses. However, remember to steer away from frames with wide and eye-catching temples.

• Round face: For round faces, square or discreet frames are recommended, as they make the face appear narrower.

• Square face: Completely opposite, square shaped faces suit round or oval shaped frames, which helps to give the face a softer touch. The choice of material (plastic, metal etc.) and lens colour is of course up to you.

• Oval face: There's no rule of thumb for oval faces. Any frame shape or lens type, can find a place on your face. Make sure that they fit you and your personality!

Our general advice is to choose a pair that fits in well with your dress style and fits your appearance. If you are an extrovert person who likes to stand out, then go wild with frames in bright colours. If you prefer to be reserved, discreet eyeglasses are usually more suitable. In addition to the different shapes and materials of our glasses, we offer cheap prescription glasses for women and for men in a wide variety of styles.
