Yes, if you have a progressive prescription, you can select multifocal lenses on the lens selection page, and we will fit your lenses according to your progressive prescription.

Yes, you can upload your prescription in ‘my prescription’, and we will read and record your prescription for you, so you don’t need to upload it a second time.

Yes, as long as it is a valid prescription, you can use it to purchase sunwear, just choose the ‘sunglasses’ option when selecting a lens.

If you choose a lens that NextPair provides in its prescription package, it is the same price for any prescription. However, if you have a strong prescription or special requirements, and would like to upgrade to a tailor-made lens, we do provide tailor-made service for an additional fee.

We understand that your eyes need to adjust to different environments in different situations, so we provide optional upgrades for different needs throughout the day:

- Digital protection

For those of you who just cannot live without your smartphone (count me in), or sit 8 hours in front of the PC every day, our digital protection lens is for you. This lens filters out the harmful blue light and radiation coming from digital screens, sooths digital eye strain, and protects your vision.

- Light-adjusting

All glasses-wearers have been in this situation – it’s a sunny day and you walk outside, immediately blinded by the sun glare, and while your companions can just put on their sunglasses, you need to fiddle and change your prescription glasses into a pair of prescription sunwear. The hassle of two pairs can be eliminated with our light-adjusting lenses, which change in colour according to the strength of UV detected. Under strong sunlight, the lens will turn dark, and indoors, clear again.

- Prescription sunwear

Who said sunwear was only for the non-vision-impared? With our prescription sun-lenses, you can easily and comfortably reduce sun glare when driving, or just a walk out on a sunny day, even enjoy those holidays on the beach.
Other preferences

- Lens thickness - varies with refractive index. Our standard lenses are 1.60 polycarbonate, but we do offer higher index lenses, 1.67, options for users with a higher prescription. We recommend the 1.60 as a good value for quality for prescriptions under ±4.00D, and the 1.67 option for users who have a higher prescription, or those who simply want a thinner a lighter lens.

- If you have a really high prescription of over ±7.00, and the 1.67 is still not light enough, feel free to contact our customer service, and they will be happy to discuss options that can be tailored to fit just your needs.

For the same prescription, we offer a variety of lenses with different thicknesses. However, because the final thickness of the edged lens depends on your frame shape and pupillary distance, it is hard to say exactly how thin your lens would be. Nevertheless, it is certain to say that if all else is the same, a higher refractive index would give you a thinner lens.

Unfortunately, we currently only provide lenses fitted on a frame.

If your frames don’t sit on your face well, it may be that each frame needs minor adjusting. If you don’t like the style, you can easily exchange the design. Either the case, our customer service is happy to assist.

If you are having difficulty deciding which types of frame is for you, try starting from finding the shape that most flatters your face shape.

-Oval

An oval face is appropriately long and narrower at the forehead and jawline. Recommendations: rectangle, square, browline, aviator.

-Round

A round face is similar in width as it is in length, with no or little angular features.

Recommendations: rectangle, square, aviator.

-Square

A square face typically has a broad forehead and jawline.

Recommendations: oval, browline, horn, aviator.

-Diamond

A diamond face is wider at the cheekbones, with an angular jawline.

Recommendations: oval, round, horn, browline.

-Pear

A pear face is broader at the jaw than at the forehead.

Recommendations: oval, aviator, browline, round.

Yes, simply choose ‘frame only’ when ordering, or 'non-prescription' for sunglasses to choose the originally fitted lenses.

The one you like the most, usually suits you best! However, if you are between a few frames, you can take a look at our face shape guide (above) to find a shape that fits your face well.

While we do not have virtual try-on for frames; however, we do provide a ‘home trial’ – that is you can fit your frame and lens according to your prescription, and then decide to keep or return the pair within 30 days of receiving.

MyoBlok™ is a DIMS (Defocus Incorporated Multiple Segments) myopia control lens designed to slow myopia progression in children. It features an outer surface with 940 micro-lenses arranged in 10 annular layers, creating defocus zones that reduce axial eye growth, the main cause of myopia.

DIMS lenses have been shown to significantly reduce the progression of myopia, with studies indicating a 52% reduction in myopia progression and a 62% reduction in axial eye growth compared to traditional single-vision lenses over a two-year period. In clinical trials, children wearing DIMS lenses experienced slower axial eye growth, which is directly linked to myopia progression, leading to more stable vision over time.

DIMS lenses use a unique optical design that focuses on myopic defocus in the peripheral areas of the retina. To understand this, it's important to know that myopia (nearsightedness) occurs when the eye grows too long, causing light to focus in front of the retina rather than directly on it.

DIMS lenses create a defocus pattern on the peripheral retina, by incorporating multiple segments of micro-lenses on the surface of the lens, which directs light in a way that causes slight defocus in the peripheral regions of the retina. While the central part of the lens still provides clear vision for close and far distances (just like regular lenses), the outer segments create myopic defocus in the periphery.

This controlled defocus pattern is crucial for slowing axial eye growth, which is the primary factor responsible for the progression of myopia.

DIMS lenses are primarily most effective for children aged 6 to 12 years, as this is the period when myopia progression is typically at its fastest. However, they are also suitable for children as young as 3 years old. In younger children, the lenses help address the rapid eye growth that contributes to myopia development.

While DIMS lenses can work for older children and even adults, they are most beneficial during the developmental years when the eye is still growing and more responsive to intervention.

Yes, DIMS lenses can be used as regular corrective glasses. They provide clear vision while also offering the added benefit of myopia control, and need no special care.

The MyoBlok™ DIMS design ensures daily comfort, through carefully calibrated micro-lenses, preventing discomfort or visual distortion. The lenses are optically clear, allowing children to engage in activities like reading, playing, and screen time without noticing any significant change in vision. Made from high-quality materials, they are lightweight and comfortable for long-term daily wear.

DIMS lenses are primarily designed for children with existing myopia, as they help slow progression by reducing axial eye growth. However, they can also delay the onset or slow progression in children showing early signs of refractive error or near-sighted tendencies - by creating myopic defocus on the peripheral retina, DIMS lenses slow eye elongation, the primary cause of myopia development. They may be especially beneficial for high-risk children, such as those with a family history of myopia.

While you can get your prescription easily from an eye test, 85% of US prescriptions are missing the pupillary distance (PD information). Therefore, this tool is designed to complement your prescription and allow you to measure your PD easily from the comfort of your couch.

Your pupillary distance is the distance between your left and right pupil. This information is crucial to fit your lens into your frame.

This tool is offered free of charge by Next Pair, just to make your life a bit easier.

Usually 2-3 minutes, and that’s including watching our video guide.

You will need a smartphone or PC that has a front camera, and a standard size magnetic card.

This tool has been clinically tested and proven to be as accurate as standard acceptable PD meters, within +/- 1mm.

This tool is designed for individuals aged 18 or over, who do not have eye conditions or illnesses.

This is an FDA listed Class 1 Exempt Medical Device, however this PD tool does not provide medical advice.

The range for this PD reader is 52mm to 75mm, which covers most adult PDs. If you fall out of this range, our results may not be accurate, however feel free to contact our customer service who will be happy to provide you with alternative methods to measure your PD.

Try the following:- Position your face 30-40 cm from the screen to work best

- Keep your face parallel to the camera at eye level

- Make sure your testing environment is well lit

- Make your eyes clearly visible with no hair/hand/card obstruction

- Hold your card at the top corner

- Place your card sitting above your eyebrows, with the magnetic strip facing down

- Make the magnetic strip clearly visible

- Light coloured cards work best!
