We have over 250 clinics across the country. Visit our Find a Location page to find the location nearest you, along with their address, store hours and contact information.
After an eye exam, your optometrist will give you a prescription that includes a series of numbers and abbreviations. That code lets your eyeglass manufacturer know if you're nearsighted or farsighted, and if you have an astigmatism or presbyopia. The measurements taken in an eye exam are documented as:
OD: Right eye parameters
OS: Left eye parameters
SPH: Sphere is the amount of lens power prescribed for nearsightedness or farsightedness
CYL & AXIS: Cylinder and axis together are required to correct astigmatism
ADD: Magnifying power required for reading, progressive, and bifocal lenses
PD: Pupillary distance used to centre the lenses over your eyes
Your prescription expires 1 to 2 years from the date of your exam. This date is set by your eye care professional. To update your prescription, we recommend that you book a follow-up eye exam.
Yes. We require a valid prescription for every order because we are required by law to verify your prescription with your doctor. This helps to ensure you receive the correct vision correction measurements on your lenses.
If you are a patient of FYidoctors and have previously placed an order or registered through our clinics with one of our staff members, your prescription will automatically appear on the prescription verification page.
If you are not a patient of FYidoctors, you can provide us with your clinic and optometrist's name, address and phone number, and we will make two attempts to contact your optometrist over the course of three business days following your order placement. If we are unable to successfully validate your prescription, you will be notified via email that your order has been cancelled.
On average, it will take approximately 3 to 5 business days to validate your prescription and we will make every effort to verify your prescription as quickly as possible. If you are not a patient of FYidoctors, we will make two attempts to contact your optometrist over the course of three business days following your order placement. If we are unable to validate your prescription, you will be notified via email that your order has been cancelled.
Yes. You can upload your prescription one of two ways. Once you have completed your purchase you will be given the option to upload a picture of your prescription. Alternatively, you can log into your profile and upload it there.
If your prescription is outside of the index range we offer online, we can still help! FYidoctors strives to provide the highest quality of vision correction, and therefore we only service higher prescriptions in clinic. Please visit our Find a Location page to find a FYidoctors clinic near you.
If your prescription requires prism correction, we can still help. FYidoctors strives to provide the highest quality of vision correction, and therefore we only service prescriptions with Prism correction in clinic. Please visit www.fyidoctors.com to find an FYidoctor's clinic near you.
No. Contact prescriptions and eyeglasses prescriptions differ and using them interchangeably will result in problems with your glasses. Make sure you have the correct prescription before entering it.
You can try a frame on virtually by uploading a picture of yourself using our Virtual Try-On tool. Since all frames are not yet available on this tool, we offer customers a 30-day guarantee. If you purchase a pair of glasses and are not completely satisfied, simply return them to us within 30 days of purchase for a full refund (minus shipping costs).
Yes. Once you add your selected frame to your shopping cart, select the clear lens option. Glasses will be shipped with the manufacturer's stock non-prescription lenses. Non-prescription sunglasses will be shipped with the displayed tint colour.
No. We are unable to sell lenses independent of their frame.
Your frames come with standard lenses, which provide 100% UV and scratch protection. You can upgrade your lens material, index, and coating to lighten the weight and provide different types of reflection protection.
Yes. We also offer progressive and multifocal (bifocals with no lines on the lenses) in the same high quality as our standard lenses.
We offer grey and brown. Grey is a neutral tint that reduces brightness without affecting colour perception. It is perfect for clear, sunny days. Brown is a soft tint designed to reduce eye strain in hazy and overcast conditions. It decreases brightness and allows colours to pop.
We offer iGuard, Hi-Def, and Hi-Def Blue lens coatings. Our iGuard coating is included on standard lenses. It offers the highest scratch resistance available, providing a hard surface to keep your glasses scratch-free. FYidoctors' Hi-Def anti-reflective coating improves both your vision and the appearance of your glasses by reducing glare. It also improves night driving vision and comfort during outdoor use. We strongly recommend a Hi-Def anti-reflective coating for all glasses. Hi-Def Blue provides all the benefits of Hi-Def, but also reduces glare and eye fatigue caused by blue light from digital devices, such as TVs, computers, or tablet screens.
No. Contact lens and eyeglasses prescriptions differ and using them interchangeably will result in problems with your glasses. Make sure you have the correct prescription before entering it.
Your PD or pupillary distance is the distance in millimetres between the centre of each pupil. This measurement allows us to accurately manufacture your glasses, ensuring the optical centres align with where you are looking through your new lenses. Sometimes this measurement is included in your prescription. If your prescription has two PD measurements (one for the right eye and one for the left), add the numbers together to enter them in your prescription order.
If your doctor did not include this measurement with your prescription, you can visit one of our clinics and a staff member can measure your PD for you or you can measure it yourself. To measure it yourself, stand approximately an arm's-length away from a mirror with a ruler. The ruler must be able to measure the distance between your pupils in millimeters (mm). Looking straight ahead, measure the distance between the centre of one pupil and the centre of the other, in mm. The average PD is 63 mm, but varies by individual.
There are two reasons why a PD may not appear on your prescription. The first is that you may instead have a prescription for contact lenses. If you see a brand of contacts listed on your prescription, then these parameters will not work for glasses. You will have to contact your eyecare professional to ask for a separate glasses prescription to ensure that you have the most accurate vision correction.
The second is that your PD was simply not written on your prescription. If this is the case, you can either contact your eyecare practitioner and ask them for your glasses PD or you can measure it yourself. To measure it yourself, stand approximately an arm's-length away from a mirror with a ruler. The ruler must be able to measure the distance between your pupils in millimeters (mm). Looking straight ahead, measure the distance between the centre of one pupil and the centre of the other, in mm. The average PD is 63 mm, but varies by individual.
The best way to clean your lenses is to simply rinse them with lukewarm water and a mild dish soap. Dry them with a soft cloth. For day-to-day cleaning of light smudges, a few swipes of a microfibre cloth included in your case should do the trick. Be careful to avoid using hot water on your lenses (especially if they are high-index lenses), as they can develop bubbles or cracks when exposed to high heat.
Single-vision lenses offer correction throughout the entire lens (usually for distance or reading purposes). Progressive lenses offer multiple focal corrections in one lens, providing a seamless transition from distance correction on top to reading correction on the bottom. This means you can see your whole field of vision without switching between multiple pairs of glasses.
The easiest way to tell if your frames fit is if they feel comfortable when you wear them. Otherwise, good rules of thumb for fit check are that:
Your pupils should sit near the centre of the lensLenses shouldn't extend past the side of your faceEyebrows should not be inside the glassesWhen you smile, your cheeks shouldn't push up the framesFrames shouldn't slide down your nose
If you find a frame you love but it doesn't fit quite right, we can adjust them at any of our 250+ locations across Canada. Problems we can help you with include:
If the frames are too tight or loose behind your earsThe temples are too long or too shortThe temples are too tight or loose at the side of your faceThe frames are crooked or slide down your face
We offer free frame adjustments on all online orders. Simply visit any one of our 250+ locations across Canada. Visit www.fyidoctors.com to find a FYidoctors location near you.
Knowing the right measurement for your frames is important when shopping for glasses online. Frame measurements refer to the lens width, bridge width, and temple arm length of your frames. The nose bridge refers to the slope of the nose between the eyes.
All of our frames (and most glasses from other brands) have a few numbers printed on the inside of the temple arm. These refer to the lens width, bridge width, and temple arm length of your frames. On each product page, the frame measurements are listed as three numbers under MEASUREMENTS. We recommend comparing the measurements of your current glasses to the frame measurements on our website; this will give you an idea for how a pair will fit you.
If the measurements on your glasses have worn off, you can always try measuring by hand. Just remember, when measuring frame width, you need to measure from temple screw to temple screw. For temple length, you need to measure from the temple screw to the temple tip.
