If you don't have one of the above opticians near you, or you'd prefer to use another optician, this is generally the process for having your prescription filled for our frames:

1. Contact the optician you'd like to use and confirm that they can make curved lenses for sunglass frames. (Golden Eagle Sports and Hawk Convertibles have a base 8 curve lens. Kestrel Aviator, Cooper Aviator, Osprey, and Kingfisher use a base 6 curve. Athene, Luzon, Noctua, Otus, Narrow Ninox, and Ninox use a base 4 curve.) We strongly recommend Trivex lenses for the clarity, impact resistance, and minimal distortion.
2. Once you've located an optician whose lab can make appropriately curved lenses, purchase the style you'd like from our website (or from one of our Retailers).
3. Take the glasses into the optician and have them confirm your pupillary distance and the fitting/segment height for the frame (this is the distance between the bottom of the lens and your pupil).
4. The optician will send your measurements, prescription, and the frame to their lens lab to have your lenses made in the correct shape and size. Either the lab or your optician will fit them into the frame, and you'll be contacted to pick up your new glasses!

Contact Us if you have any trouble or need any help during this process. Alternatively, your optician can contact us by phone (512-213-2390) or email (support@flyingeyesoptics.com) if they have any questions.If you are a pilot and want an eye care professional who understands your unique vision needs, check out www.eyesthatfly.com to find a listing of eye care professionals who are also pilots. These practices do not carry our products, but they have a pilot on staff (or did at the time of being added to this list).

Flying Eyes is excited to announce that we can now fill prescription lenses for US customers! While we will always recommend you have them done locally to save on time and cost, we understand that that's not always an option, and that's where we come in! We do not accept insurance, so if you're needing to use vision benefits, check out the map of partnered opticians above and follow the step-by-step guide below to having your prescription done locally (if you don't have a partner near you).

Prescription lens orders are final. If you're dissatisfied with the frame, we're happy to issue a partial refund for that frame return. We cannot refund prescription lenses, though if there's something wrong with your lenses when they arrive, please let us know within 30 days so we can fix them for you. Please note: While our lab is great at handling strong prescriptions, especially in high-wrap frames, diopters greater than +/- 3.00 may take longer than normal due to the complex nature of making an undistorted lens for a wrapped (sunglass) frame.

HOW IT WORKS

1. Find a frame style. Once you've found which frame style you’d like, select the frame and a frame finish you like. After you've selected the frame and finish you'd like, next select your prescription lens type, tint, and other info.
   
   
2. Please email your doctor-signed, non-expired eyeglasses prescription to rxsupport@flyingeyesoptics.com. Include your first name, last name, and order number in the subject line. Please do not send us a physical copy of your prescription. An email or form entry guarantees your prescription does not get lost.
   
   
3. Review your options and double check your selected options to make sure everything has been filled out correctly and add your purchase to your cart.
   
   
4. Does your cart show your selected prescription frames with correctly selected options? (it should look similar to this photo). If so, then you’re now ready to check out!
   If you picked a frame that has Clip-On options (Athene, Luzon, Otus, Ninox, Narrow Ninox, and Noctua) you should also see those that you selected in your cart. If you did not select those add-ons and would like to get Clip-ons with your compatible eyeglasses, please visit the collection linked above, go the matching listing and add those to your cart before checkout.
   
   Note: If you're using a discount code, it will only apply to the frames, not the prescription lenses.
   
   
5. Once you have made your purchase, if we do not have your markings for the selected frame on file, we will immediately send you your chosen frames with clear, plastic "demo" lenses installed. When they arrive, adjust them on your face where they'll sit and stay comfortably then follow the instructions on the included pamphlet to mark your pupils using the provided marker and measuring tool. It's best to have someone else do this while you look into the distance, but you can do it yourself in front of a mirror. (TIP: Focus on something "past" the mirror or person helping you to ensure your pupils are aligned correctly, as this will affect the usefulness of your prescription.)
   
   NOTE: While your prescription might have your PD (pupillary distance) and OC (ocular height) information, we will need your measurements in the frame you pick. Different frames will sit higher/lower, and if these numbers aren’t accurate, your prescription won't align correctly.
   
   
6. Once you've marked your pupils, use the included return shipping label to send them back to us. And now the waiting begins!
   
   

We will confirm your pupil distance and ocular height when they arrive back at our headquarters and order your lenses right away. The rest of the process takes approximately 2-4 weeks once we receive your marked lenses. We'll keep you updated via email. :)
