To place an order in an online eyeglasses store, follow these steps:

1. Get Ready Before You Start

Before you browse frames, make sure you have:

  • A current eyeglasses prescription (not a contact lens prescription) from an eye doctor or optometrist
  • Key details usually include: SPH (sphere), CYL (cylinder), AXIS, ADD (if needed), and PD (pupillary distance)
  • Your shipping address, email, and phone number

If your prescription doesn’t list your PD, don’t worry—many sites offer a PD measuring tool, or you can contact your eye doctor for the measurement.

2. Browse and Choose Your Frames

  1. Visit the website and go to the eyeglasses or sunglasses section.

  2. Use the filters (shape, color, material, price, gender) to narrow things down

  3. Click on any frame that catches your eye

Pro tip: Use the Virtual Try-On feature. Upload a clear, front-facing photo of yourself and see how the frames look on your face in real time. This is one of the most helpful tools on the site.

3. Select Your Lenses

Once you’ve chosen a frame, click Select Lenses. You’ll be guided through these choices:

  • Single Vision – for distance or near vision only
  • Progressive – seamless multifocal lenses(All distance and office)
  • Bifocal or Reading lenses
  • Non-prescription (for fashion or everyday wear without vision correction)

Next, enter your prescription. You have three convenient options:

  • Manually enter the details (SPH, CYL, AXIS, PD, and any other values)
  • Upload a clear photo or scan of your prescription (JPG, PNG, or PDF)
  • Choose to send the prescription later by email

4. Customize with Coatings and Upgrades

Depending on your needs, you can add:

Choose what fits your daily lifestyle—especially useful if you spend a lot of time on screens or outdoors.

5. Add to Cart and Check Out

Review everything carefully (frame + lenses + coatings), then add the pair to your cart. You can continue shopping if you want more than one pair.

At checkout:

  • Enter your shipping and contact details
  • Apply any current promo codes 
  • Choose your shipping speed
  • Complete payment

6. Processing Time, Shipping & Tracking

  • Processing usually takes 1–2 business days for standard progressive, single-vision, or reading lenses (a bit longer for special coatings or complex prescriptions)
  • Shipping options (U.S. examples):
    • Standard: roughly 14–21 days
    • Advanced: 10–16 days
    • Express: as fast as 2–7 days
  • Free shipping is often available on orders over $65 (check the site for the latest threshold)

After placing your order you’ll receive a confirmation email. You can track progress via:

  • The order status page
  • The link in your confirmation email
  • Your account under “Orders”
  • The Shop app (in supported regions)

7. What Arrives & What If Something’s Wrong?

Your glasses typically come with a protective case and a microfiber cleaning cloth.

Lakoh offers a 30-day free return policy and a 365-day warranty on many products—always double-check the current policy on their site for the exact terms.

Final Thoughts

Ordering glasses from Lakoh is genuinely beginner-friendly: pick a frame, try it on virtually, enter (or upload) your prescription, choose your lenses and coatings, and check out. The whole process is guided step-by-step on the website.

If you’ve been putting off updating your glasses because of the cost or hassle of traditional optical stores, this is a solid, affordable alternative worth trying.
