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 if I have purchased an Eyewear Protection
Plan that has expired in March, April or May while the store was closed?
+
We will gladly extend your Eyewear Protection Plan through June 30, 2020.

product recommendations and recommend when your next appointment should be. If you need medical

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. Based on your
vision health and lifestyle needs, your optometrist can recommend the contact lenses that are most
appropriate for you.**

My prescription doesn’t feel right. What
should I do?
+
Your brain needs time to adapt to any new prescription. This can take 2-3 days
for Single Vision lenses and 3-5 days for Progressive lenses. Use them gradually until you become
comfortable. Please contact our customer service team after that time period if you still have problems
adapting to your new lenses.
You should not experience blurred vision, eyestrain or headaches
during the adjustment period. If you experience any of these, we recommend calling customer care on
(1-877-7-LENSCRAFTERS or 1-877-753-6727).
How do I use my new Progressive lenses?
+
Progressive lenses have different viewing zones so that adjustments can be made
for both near and far vision. To move from looking at a distance to reading, move your eyes down the
lens rather than lowering your head. Clarity might be slightly different in different areas of the lens,
especially in the periphery. You might experience some distortion on the sides of the lenses. To look at
something to the side, slightly turn your head to make sure you use the central portion of the lens.
Play with these movements to learn how to maximize clarity for different uses.

glasses I bought online?
+
If the prescription on your new glasses doesn’t feel right, click here for advice on what’s normal and what to look out for during the adjustment
period.
If the prescription needs to be updated, give customer care a call at
(1-877-7-LENSCRAFTERS or 1-877-753-6727) and one of our agents can help with next steps, whether that be
a return or stopping in your nearest store for an adjustment.
What is an “Optimized” prescription?
+
Your prescription might have been optimized. This means that it was adjusted to
work best with the frame you selected. It also means it might be slightly different from your original
prescription. If your prescription was optimized, you will have received an additional document with
your glasses. Be sure to share this with your Doctor in case you want your glasses to be inspected, but
keep in mind this may differ from your actual prescription.
What is bifocal lens?

What does a polarized lens do?
+

What forms of payment are accepted when I buy
online?
+

MasterCard®. We also accept PayPal and Klarna.
What is Optomap®?
+
Optomap® is a digital retinal scan that allows your eye doctor to examine your
eyes without dilating them. After your eyes are scanned, Optomap® creates a color, internal 'map' of
your eyes. Your doctor will use these images to gain a better picture of your overall eye health and
prescribe you the best prescription possible.

Can I drive after my eyes have been
dilated?
+
It depends on your individual situation. Keep in mind that after the examination,
your close-up vision may remain blurred for several hours. It is best to avoid driving after having your
eyes dilated.**
What kinds of eyeglass lenses do you
carry?
+
LensCrafters carries a variety of quality lenses to meet almost every need.

sun lenses, we can help you find the best lenses that fit your lifestyle and budget. Visit our Lenses
page under the Product section of our website to browse our full range of lenses.
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?
+
Understanding your face shape can help you find the best frames to flatter your
look. For example, round frames tend to look best on square faces because they help soften the features,
while rectangular frames can help a round face appear longer and slimmer. If you're not sure which
eyeglasses fit your face shape, use our face shape tool for recommendations hand-picked for you. You can
even upload your own photo for a perfect match. Click here to go to our
face shape guide now.

What causes dry eyes?
+
Dry eye occurs when eyes don't produce tears properly, or when tears aren't the
correct consistency and evaporate too quickly. Dry eye can make performing some activities, such as
using a computer or reading for an extended period of time, more difficult.** For more information about
dry eyes please visit our vision guide.
How do I care for contact lenses?
+
Follow the care directions inside your box of contacts to avoid possible vision
problems. Disposable, extended-wear soft lenses are easy to upkeep, while conventional soft lenses need
extensive care. If you have a hard time following the cleaning steps, tell your eye care professional.
You may be able to simplify the steps, or you may want to switch to disposable lenses.**

on the lookout for signs of macular degeneration or cataracts. Be sure to share your changing medical
history as you age.**

more information please visit our vision guide.
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.**

Are readers good enough for me?

That really depends on your prescription and lifestyle as store-bought readers
have the same prescription in both eyes. You should discuss using readers with your eye doctor because
each of your eyes may require a different correction for farsightedness.
What is glaucoma?
+
Glaucoma is a condition caused by the pressure of fluid inside your eye. The
pressure damages your optic nerve, which connects your eyes to your brain. Glaucoma may affect one or
both of your eyes. The risk of developing glaucoma goes up if you are over 40, very short-sighted, of
African or Caribbean decent or related to someone with glaucoma.** For more information about glaucoma

target, requiring you to look in different directions. The doctor will then observe your eye
movements.
What is dilation?
+
Dilation is the process of administering special pharmaceutical eye drops into the
eyes in order to enlarge the pupils. This allows an eye doctor to examine the structures of the eyes,

diseases.** For more information please visit our vision

Why is it important to clean my glasses
during COVID-19?
+
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.
You
should also avoid using antibacterial products such as hand sanitizer or household cleaning spray. This
is because they may contain alcohol or chemicals that could damage the lens surface of your glasses.
How often should I clean my glasses?
+
You should clean your lenses and frame often, ideally at least once a day. Body
oils contain acids and can damage the lenses if left on the surface.
What is the best way to clean my
glasses?
+
Using a mild liquid detergent, rinse thoroughly with warm, not hot, water or use
an approved eyewear cleaner. Dry your lenses with a clean, soft cloth made from cotton, terry or
microfiber.
If your lenses aren’t too dusty, use the supplied cleaning cloth to remove smudges
and fingerprints without liquid. In general, avoid wiping lenses dry if water is unavailable. Wash the
cloth periodically.
Do not use paper products of any kind to clean lenses to avoid scratches
and damage to your lenses.
How can I avoid damaging my glasses?
+
Avoid exposing lenses to hairspray, abrasive cleaners, household (window) spray
cleaners, chemicals, ammonias, or bleaches. You should also avoid placing your glasses in any area of
excessive heat such as car dashboards, home radiators or stove tops, since lens coatings may deteriorate
and damage the frame or loosen frame alignment.
To help prevent scratches, do not lay your
glasses face down. Always keep your eyeglasses in a clean case when not in use.
What are the benefits of Polarized
lenses?
+
Polarized lenses help improve clarity while allowing for enhanced depth
perception and visual acuity by reducing the glare from reflective surfaces. They also help to enhance
contrast and reduce strain on your eyes.
When wearing polarized lenses for the first time you
may see patterns in windows, LC Displays, car instruments, etc. This is normal for polarized lenses.
How do photochromic lenses work?
+
Photochromic lenses darken quickly as you go outdoors. On sunny days the
darkening will reach full potential, on cloudy days they will darken less. The temperature will
influence the amount and speed of change. Please note that lenses will not darken as much inside a car
as outside the car.
Transitions™ is the brand name of a specific type of photochromic lens that
we are pleased to be able to offer at LensCrafters.
What are progressives lenses and how do I use
them?
+
Progressive lenses have different viewing zones so that adjustments can be made
for both near and far vision. To move from looking at a distance to reading, move your eyes down the
lens rather than lowering your head. Clarity might be slightly different in different areas of the lens,
especially in the periphery. You might experience some distortion on the sides of the lenses. To look at
something to the side, slightly turn your head to make sure you use the central portion of the lens.
Play with these movements to learn how to maximize clarity for different uses.
What are Transitions™ photochromic
lenses?
+
Transitions™ lenses are photochromic lenses that darken quickly as you go
outdoors. On sunny days the darkening will reach full potential, on cloudy days they will darken less.
The temperature will influence the amount and speed of change. Please note that lenses will not darken
as much inside a car as outside the car.
What are the differences between LensCrafters
lenses and Authentic Ray-Ban, Oakley, or Costa Del Mar lenses?
+
LensCrafters lenses offer all the benefits of Essilor lens technology and can be
shaped to fit any frame. Ray-Ban Authentic prescription lenses are etched with the Ray-Ban logo and
crafted to blend seamlessly with the iconic styles in the collection. Oakley Authentic lenses are
specifically designed for active and sports lifestyles, while Costa Del Mar lenses offer the latest in
sunglass optical technology.

my prescription?
+

every vision need. Simply choose the option that best describes your lifestyle to view recommended
lenses and lens treatments to suit your needs.
What are the benefits of anti-reflective
coatings?
+

surface to improve your vision and keep your lenses looking clean for longer.

Can I update to Android 13?
+
Updating to Android 13 may cause the following issues when using Bluetooth
with Ray-Ban Stories on some Android devices: Bluetooth audio may stop working. Restarting your
phone may fix this. Some music controls may not work, such as tapping the touchpad or using Facebook
Assistant to play, pause and skip forwards or back. You can still control music apps through your
phone and listen with your Ray-Ban Stories. Answering incoming phone calls by tapping the touchpad
or using Facebook Assistant may not work. You can still answer calls on your phone and use Ray-Ban
Stories to speak to the caller. We're working on software updates to address these issues.
What is a Meta account?
+
A Meta Account isn't a social media profile; it's a new way to log in to the
Facebook View app that gives you more control over the information you share and how you interact
with Meta devices. From July 2023, you'll need a Meta account to use Facebook View and Ray-Ban
Stories. Learn more at Meta.com
When is the Meta account feature
launching?
+
In July 2023, we're launching Meta accounts for Ray-Ban Stories users in all
supported countries. You'll be notified about the Meta account launch and corresponding privacy
policy update. You're encouraged to install the latest version of the firmware and app software in
preparation for the Meta accounts launch. Learn more at Meta.com
How do I create a Meta account?
+
When you log in to Facebook View, you'll be directed through the steps to
create a Meta account. You can also create one on your own here.
You can use your existing Facebook or Instagram credentials or your email. When creating a Meta
account, you'll be asked for basic information such as name, email, phone number and birthday. Learn
more at Meta.com
Is the Ray-Ban Stories experience
different for users who add their Facebook and Instagram accounts to their Meta account?
+
The experience using Facebook View doesn't change if you add your Facebook or
Instagram account to your Meta account. You can still access and use hands-free calling and
Messaging via Messenger and WhatsApp or share photos and videos to Facebook or Instagram without
adding these accounts to your Account Center. Learn more at Meta.com
If I'm an existing user and switched to a
Meta account, how long do I have to import my photos and videos from my glasses to the View
app?
+
Once you switch to a Meta account in the Facebook View app, you have 60 days
to pair your glasses to complete the migration. If migration isn't completed within 60 days, you'll
need to do a factory reset (which will result in a loss of any photos or videos stored on the
glasses and not yet imported to the app).
