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.

+
We will gladly extend your Eyewear Protection Plan through June 30, 2020.

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.**

contact our customer service team after that time period if you still have problems adapting to your
new lenses.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.**

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?

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).
