Prescriptions
We are confident that choosing Bijan Optical will be a great eyewear investment for you. To help you with your purchase you will need the following information:
1. A recent copy of your eyeglass prescription. A best practice would be to ensure that your eyeglass prescription is no more than two years old.
2. Find your Pupillary Distance (PD) included in your prescription. If you don’t see it in on your prescription you may need to contact the eye care professional that provided you with the prescription and ask them for your eye wear PD. Look below for more information on why PD is important.
3. Your current frames will give you a good sense of what size of frames will fit you well. On the inside arm of your eyewear you should find measurements that might look like this: 48[ ]22. This number indicates the width of the face of the eye wear.
4. You will need to select the tint you would like for your Transitions® lenses, or your prescription sunglasses if that’s the purchase you are making.
What is a PD?
A Pupillary Distance (PD) is the measurement in millimeters from the center of one pupil to the center of the other. An accurate PD helps guarantee that your prescription is properly focused to ensure full clarity and correction.
Why can’t I find my PD on my prescription?
There are two reasons why a PD may not appear on your prescription:
The first is that you may instead have a prescription for contact lenses. If you see a brand of contacts listed on your prescription, then these parameters will not work for glasses. You will have to contact your eye care professional to ask for a separate glasses prescription to ensure that you have the most accurate vision correction.
The second is that your PD was simply not written on your prescription. If this is the case, contact your eye care practitioner and ask them for your glasses PD. If you are unable to attain this number, you can measure your PD with a ruler.
When you first purchased your contact lenses, its likely that your eye care professional helped you find a brand of contact lenses that best suited your needs. We recommend that you stick to that option when choosing your replacement lenses. A quick look at your current box of contact lenses should help you identify the following information:
1. Your contact lens brand. The base curve (BC), and Diameter (DIA) of your contact lenses. Whether the contact wear schedule is: daily, weekly, biweekly, or monthly.
2. Your contact lens prescription should confirm all the above details and also remind you of when your prescription expires (in most places across the country the expiry of your contact lens prescription is after 1 or 2 years).
3. If you are not disposing of your contact lenses daily, then you should ensure that your contacts are kept free of build up or bacterial growth by cleaning them regularly with contact lens solution and maintaining them in a proper contact lens case.
Remember, our service is for those that have experience wearing contact lenses and we would recommend a conversation with your eye care professional if you think you need a change to your prescribed contact lenses.
Standard practice is to give yourself up to 10 days to adjust to a new prescription, without switching back and forth between your new glasses and your old ones. If you do feel that something is not right then get in touch with us and our a license-optician would be happy to assist you. In addition to having your prescription on hand, a photo of yourself wearing your glasses will assist our optician in determining what the problem may be.
