Frequently Asked Questions.

We know, buying eyewear online can be a hard and unenjoyable process, but eyebobs is here to help! Any question you might have, big or small, round or rectangle, our team of Personal Stylists is ready to make sure you get the perfect frame! 

 

What should I do if my eyebobs sit crooked on my face or slide down my nose?

• A qualified optician can adjust your eyebobs for a personalized fit. Having your glasses adjusted is like having a suit tailored; it is best done in person for a custom fit. (Trust us, you will look totally hot after!) Most eye care professionals will do adjustments at no charge if you ask nicely or offer them candy.
• Keep in mind, even the most well-made frames stretch over time – that's why we recommend you get your glasses adjusted every 3-6 months. Even an Italian sports car needs an oil change every 5,000 miles. If you'd like to stop in to an eyebobs store for a free adjustment, find the closest store to you. 

 

How do I measure my PD?

• You can go into any eye care provider and ask to measure your PD. Otherwise, you can measure your own PD with our guide.
• How to Enter Your Eyeglass Prescription:
• Upload from your device during checkout
• Submit via email – Rx@eyebobs.com
• Authorize eyebobs to contact your eyecare professional to get your prescription
• On file – returning customers may use a current prescription from a previous order

 

How do I care for my eyebobs?

• eyebobs are pretty low-maintenance, like a cactus or a pet rock. But, from time to time, they do need a little action. Follow these tips to keep your eyebobs in tip-top shape.
• Habitat: We offer a complimentary case with each of our frames. FOR THE LOVE OF ALL THAT’S SACRED, USE IT!!! Keeping your eyebobs comfy and cozy in their case will reduce wear and tear and keep your frames looking fab.
• Bathing: Clean your eyebobs as needed to maintain maximum foxiness. Trust us, smudged lenses are not cute. Eyeglass cleaner works best, but warm soapy water will do in a pinch. Dry with a soft, clean cloth. Do not use paper towels or tissues. These wood products will scratch the lenses.
• Maintenance: Glasses really get around. They are on and off your face and lying around who knows where else! We know you would never dream of dropping them, falling asleep in them, putting them in your pocket or on top of your head, but all these things cause stress to the frame. They may need an occasional tune up. If you are handy, you can gently tighten loose screws with a small screwdriver. Visit an optical store every six months for an adjustment. They can help a frame that has stretched or fallen out of alignment.
• Warranty: All eyebobs come with a one year warranty on manufacturing defects. Manufacturing defects do not include scratched lenses or wear and tear. eyebobs that have been stepped on, dropped, run over by a car, chewed on by dogs, smashed by toddlers, abducted by aliens or blown up by dynamite do not qualify. Please contact us with questions regarding warranty repair or replacement.

 

Do the frames come in different sizes?

• YES. We offer several styles in two sizes, which you can shop in this collection. It's not common to offer frames in multiple sizes, but then again, there's not much common about what we do. We have a filter to search by size while you’re browsing for glasses. We also provide the measurements of each frame on the product's detail page.

 

Can I order frames without lenses?

• No, we do not offer frames without lenses, but we do offer frames with 'plano' lenses (no magnification) for those seeking out a stylish look!

 

How do I know if a frame fits me?

Here are a few rules of thumb to determine whether a frame fits:

• Pupils should be near the center of the lens.
• The width of the frame shouldn’t extend past the side of your face.
• Eyebrows should not be inside the lenses.
• When you smile, your cheeks shouldn’t push the frames up.
• The temples are not too long or too short.
• An optical adjustment can go a long way in correcting minor fit issues. If you find a frame you love but it doesn’t fit quite right, consider an adjustment at your local eye care provider.

 

Where can I find my frame’s measurements?

• Optical measurements of the frames can be found on the inside of the left temple, as well as on our website on each individual product page.

 

What kind of materials do you use in your eyebobs?

• Italian block acetate: This is the type of material we use to make nearly all of our frames. Acetate is the same material used to make most high-end designer frames. The color and quality are unmatched. This is the good stuff, people!
• Wood: It’s all about the layers! On some products we use stunning wood in rich colors layered with aluminum to create a frame that’s lightweight, durable and a snap to clean and maintain. It’s the total package!
• Metal: We use high quality, precision crafted stainless steel in all of our metal frames. This guarantees a strong and durable frame that can be worn by many face shapes.

• You will be able to select this option on the product detail page, before placing the item in your cart. We also offer sun responsive lenses that get darker in the sunlight as well as a Blue Light coating that helps to filter blue light out of the screens we can’t peel away from at night.

 

What are your lenses made of?

• Polycarbonate, although you have an option of thinner material, a 1.67 hi index lens. We recommend the 1.67 when the total power of your prescription is a +/- 4.00 or higher.

We also have a polarized lens if you’re looking for sunglasses, Transitions if you’re looking for sun-responsive lenses, and a Blue Light coating, which filters the Blue Light from screens and makes them easier on the eye.

 

Do you offer frames only or non-prescription “fashion” glasses?

• We do offer frames with no prescription – you can order them with the power of 0.00. First choose 'Select My Lens' on any detail page, then 'Readers', and then 'Plano'.

 

Do you charge for strong prescription?

• We offer a 1.67 lens for a stronger prescription. It is an additional $50 for this upgrade and we recommend its use if your prescriptions total power is a +/- 4.00. Email us for any questions RX@eyebobs.com

• If your doctor updates your prescription within the first 30 days of receiving your new glasses, we can update the lenses to the new prescription at no charge.

 

Where will you make my glasses?

• Our frames are sourced throughout the world with the best suppliers and manufacturers including China and Vietnam.

 

My prescription has expired or it doesn't have an expiration date, can I still order glasses?

• Typically, prescriptions expire in 1-2 years, depending on doctor’s preference. We would be happy to verify your prescription with your doctor directly. If your prescription is expired, you can still order your glasses and send in your prescription afterwards – or we can call and get it for you.

 

How do I know my prescription will be correct?

• We verify all submitted prescriptions prior to sending them to our lab. If we have questions or see something that doesn’t look quite right, we will contact you or your doctor to verify.

 

Does eyebobs offer prescription sunglasses or photochromatic lenses?

• Yes! You can select polarized or light sensitive lens options prior to adding a frame to your cart.

 

What is the difference between a bifocal and a progressive lens?

• Typically, a bifocal lens has a visible line at the point where the prescription changes. A progressive lens has no visible line and gradually changes prescription as your eye moves down the lens. We offer both traditional, lined bifocal readers and no-line progressive readers.

 

What is the difference between single-vision and progressive lenses?

• A single-vision lens will have one prescription throughout the lens (usually all distance or all reading), whereas a progressive lens has distance on top that blends into reading on the bottom, creating a seamless multi-focal correction.

 

Can I order progressive lenses that are computer distance on top and reading on bottom?

• Yes! Our opticians are able to transpose any prescription to what you will use them for. This is commonly called an office lens.

 

How do I order non-prescription glasses?

• We do offer frames with no prescription – you can order them with the power of 0.00. First choose 'Select My Lens' on any detail page, then 'Readers', and then 'Plano'.

When should I use a High Index lens?

• We recommended at a total power of +/- 4.00 or higher.

 

What is predictive seg height?

• We measure the seg height in all our frames and take the average number for that measurement with both men and women in each style.

 

What does sphere mean in my prescription?

• Sphere is your actual prescription in each eye.

 

What does cylinder mean in my prescription?

• Cylinder indicates an astigmatism. This along with axis provides the lens cutters with the correct curvature to correct astigmatism.

 

BLUE LIGHT

How do your Blue Light glasses work?

• eyebobs Blue Light is your secret weapon for combatting digital eyestrain. These amazing frames help lessen the effects of Blue Light so you can log more screen time.

READING GLASSES AND MORE

How do I figure out my ideal magnification?

• If you’re not sure what strength is best, our handy test can help you figure it out. Please note: while it’s a great way to help determine a strength that will work for your needs, this test is no substitute for the recommendation of your eye care professional.

 

Can you replace the lenses in my eyebobs with a different magnification?

• We can outfit your bobs with new lenses. Bear in mind, reading glasses go through A LOT of wear and tear with daily use. When you send your glasses in for a lens replacement service, we begin the process of replacing your lenses with an updated strength. Currently, you can replace reader lenses, blue light lenses, all day reader lenses, and reader sunglasses.

 

I need a +1.50 in my right eye and a +2.00 in my left. Can I still order eyebobs?

• Yes! Just include this information in the notes section of your order and we will ensure both lenses are correct for your individual eye needs.
