- You have close contact with a person who test positive for COVID-19
- You have a fever, any lower respiratory symptoms or symptoms of the flu. If this is the case, we recommend you contact your primary physician.

How are the glasses in your stores cleaned/sanitized?

Anti-bacterial wipes are used to clean each pair of eyeglasses and sunglasses a customer tries on before returning them to the shelf.

Where are your products made?

Our products are made in one of our Luxottica-owned plants in either the U.S., Italy or China depending on the product. When our products leave our factory, they are packed and shipped by a carefully trained staff member after undergoing extensive checks.

Are your packages safe to open?

Yes. When our products leave our factory, they are packed and shipped by a carefully trained staff member after undergoing extensive checks. Furthermore, according the World Health Organization, it is safe to open packages from China, Italy and other countries where COVID-19 has been reported.

Are packages coming from China and other high-risk countries safe to open?

Coronaviruses have poor resistance in the environment, so the possibility that the virus is transmitted by goods that travel for days or weeks at room temperatures is low. Current scientific knowledge suggests that coronaviruses propagate only through droplets of biological fluids.

Are your online deliveries safe?

When you buy online you avoid close contact with people who might be sick. All our courier service partners have strict protocols in place to ensure all precautionary measures are followed.

Can COVID-19 transmit through eyes?

Current research, which is still evolving, shows that the chance of spreading the virus through the eyes is possible, but rare. Studies found only a small amount of virus in tears of infected individuals. That said, in alignment with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), you should take all necessary precautions to avoid touching your eyes.

Do glasses help protect against COVID-19?

While glasses may potentially provide some protection from COVID-19, that protection is limited to the shielded area of the eye. The virus can still reach your eyes from the exposed sides, tops and bottoms of your glasses. In alignment with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), you should take all necessary precautions to avoid touching your eyes.

How should I clean my glasses in this period?

COVID-19 is thought to remain on some materials for hours or days. For this reason, it's advisable to regularly clean your glasses. A standard hand soap or glasses cleaning spray that contains detergent should be effective at removing potentially harmful microbes. Using antibacterial products such as hand sanitizer or household cleaning spray to clean your glasses is not recommended. This is because they probably contain alcohol or chemicals that could damage the lens surface of your glasses.

What can I do about increased screen time straining my eyes?

There are many studies that associate prolonged computer use with eye strain and discomfort. Ocular surface dryness (due to infrequent blinking) can result in symptoms. To minimize this, you should follow the 20-20-20 rule: take a break every 20 minutes and look at an object 20 feet away for at least 20 seconds. You can also change your computer display brightness, increase font size and minimize glare with proper lighting.

What are the common types of contact lenses?

There are two general types of lenses: soft and rigid gas permeable. Based on your vision health and lifestyle needs, your optometrist will recommend the contact lenses that are most appropriate for you. Soft contact lenses are comfortable and made of flexible plastics that allow oxygen to pass through to the cornea. Users get accustomed to wearing them within several days. Most soft-contact wearers are prescribed some type of frequent replacement schedule. An example of this is a schedule that calls for the lenses to be replaced with new ones after two weeks of use with lenses removed nightly for cleaning. Rigid Gas Permeable (RGP) lenses are durable, resistant to deposit buildup, and generally allow for clear, crisp vision. They last longer than soft contacts, and also are easier to handle and less likely to tear. However, they may take a few weeks of getting used to. Other specific common types of lenses: Extended Wear Contacts are good for overnight or continuous wear ranging from one to six nights, or up to 30 days. It's important for your eyes to go without lenses for at least one night following each scheduled removal. Disposable (Replacement Schedule) Contacts. Some soft contacts referred to as 'disposable' by sellers are actually worn on a frequent replacement schedule-for two weeks, for example-that requires them to be disinfected between uses.

Why is UV (ultra-violet) protection important?

Ultraviolet radiation is very harmful to our eyes. Even though we cannot see it around us it is there, a good pair of sunglasses can protect our eyes from damage. Glasses that have a deep dark tint to them do not necessarily have a lot of UV protection. The UV rating should be marked somewhere on the (plano) glasses in order for you to tell how protective they are. Prescribed sun lenses UV blockage is noted on the customer paperwork in the lab that manufactures them. Sunglasses with a rating of UV400 are the best** and they have been tested to block out 99-100% of UVA and UVB rays. Even with sunglasses on you should never look directly into the sun. UVA does the 'aging' damage, UVB does the 'burning' damage. For more information on ultraviolet light, please visit our vision guide.

What is the difference between nearsightedness and farsightedness?**

Nearsightedness (also known as myopia) occurs when objects close up remain clear, and objects in the distance are blurry. Farsightedness (also known as hyperopia) is when objects close up are blurry, but those in the distance are clear. When looking at your prescription, a plus sign next to the numbers means you're farsighted, and a minus sign means you're nearsighted. Visit a LensCrafters store for more help understanding your prescription

Do I need a prescription for colored or theatrical contact lenses?

A valid contact lens prescription is required in order to purchase any type of contact lenses, even if you do not need them for vision correction. A contact lens fitting will measure the curve and diameter of your eye, and help ensure the health of your eyes, so you can feel confident about an accurate fit. If a lens is not properly fitted, it can shift, causing irritation, scratching, or other problems. You can schedule an eye exam with an Independent Doctor of Optometry* at LensCrafters online by clicking on Schedule Eye Exam and entering your location. If you prefer to schedule your exam over the phone, please contact our customer care representatives (1-877-7-LENSCRAFTERS or 1-877-753-6727) or the Doctor's office at the location you wish to visit. If you'd like a same-day appointment, please contact the Independent Doctor of Optometry* directly for immediate assistance.

What vision issues should I be aware of as I age?

Your eyes can sometimes be affected by conditions you were born with or those that develop as you grow older. Help keep your eyes healthy by not smoking and eating lots of green, leafy vegetables. Vision problems can occur at any time, but you are more likely to develop problems if you are over 40, because conditions like glaucoma, macular degeneration and cataracts are more frequent in older people, as are dry eye and low vision. Diabetes poses special eye health problems at any age, so be sure to share your condition with your eye doctor if you have it or develop it in later years.

When should my child have an eye exam*?

Generally, children should have their vision checked at 6 months, 3 years, and before first grade. These exams should be done during preventative pediatrician visits using a preschool eye screening. All children should also be screened for lazy eye at age four to five. If your children have not been screened, or if you notice they're having problems with vision, squinting, headaches or other symptoms, then consider taking them to an eye doctor for an eye examination.**

Why is face shape important?

How does my eye exam* change as I age?

After age 40, your doctor* may add specific tests for glaucoma, for example, or be on the lookout for signs of macular degeneration or cataracts. Be sure to share your changing medical history as you age.**

What is macular degeneration?

Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is one of the leading causes of vision loss for people over 50. It occurs when the delicate cells of the macula - the small, central part of the retina responsible for the center of our field of vision - become damaged and stop working. There are two types of AMD: the 'dry' form and the more severe 'wet' form. Dry AMD is the mostmore common, developing over time and usually causing only mild loss of vision. The wet form accounts for 10 to 15 per cent of all AMD, but the risk of sight loss is much greater. Because macular degeneration is an age-related process, both eyes are usually affected, but not always at the same time. For more information about macular degeneration please visit our vision guide.

How long can I wear my contacts?

Recommended wear time is different depending on your type of contact lenses. Always consult your eye doctor for specific instructions.**
