ORDERING

What do I need before ordering online?

All we need from you is your current prescription - don’t forget to provide us with your pupillary distance (PD).

If you don’t have a copy of your prescription handy, simply call your optometrist and ask them to provide the information needed. They are required by law to provide you with this information. Alternatively, fill in your optometrist’s contact information and we’ll grab it for you. If we need any extra information from you, we’ll follow up with you via an email or a phone call.

If the prescription provided from an external optometrist is incorrect, purchaser agrees that Oscar Wylee is not responsible for the cost of remake.

If your prescription has expired, you’ll need to visit an optometrist to have an eye exam and obtain an up-to-date prescription.

You can always get an eye test at any Oscar Wylee Store. Click here to book a test.

If you have recently had an eye test in an Oscar Wylee store, we will have your prescription on file. Please select "send later" when placing your order online and then fill out our contact us form.

What is my pupillary distance and how do I measure it?

Your pupillary distance (PD) is the distance in millimetres between your eyes from the center of one pupil to the other. This measurement is used to determine the location of the optical center to correctly position your new lenses.

If your PD is not recorded on your prescription, visit your optometrist or a nearby optical store to have it measured professionally. We are also happy to measure your PD if you visit us at one of our stores.

How do I place an order?

You have two options! You can either head into any Oscar Wylee store or place an order online.

Placing an order online is easy. When you’re ready, log into your account (or create one), go to the frame that you want to order and click “Add to Cart”.

During the checkout process, you’ll be asked whether you need prescription or non-prescription glasses. If you require prescription glasses, you can either input your prescription information, or select one of the alternate options.

Our two pairs for $249 is only available per person and cannot be split between two people. Only one prescription can be used per order.

How do I submit my prescription?

You can enter it directly on the website during checkout, provide us with your optician’s contact information and we’ll get in touch with them, upload a copy or click "send later" and send us a copy via email.

If you’ve already placed an order and need to provide us with your prescription, you can email an image of it to us.

Remember to include your name and order number in the email. If you placed the order for someone else, please be sure to include the name of the patient on the prescription.

How do I get a copy of my prescription?

You sure can. Simply email us a copy and we can input this into your order.

When you send us your prescription, please include your name, email address and order number.

Can I order frames without prescription lenses?

Yes! While adding your product to cart, please select the non prescription and follow the remaining prompts.

How do I check the status of my order?

If you placed an order in store, you can give them a call and they can give you an idea of when your new eyewear will be ready to collect.

You can also check the status of your shipment on our website. Login to your account and go the ‘MY ORDERS’ page.

Alternatively, feel free to contact us.

When can I expect my glasses to arrive?

Purchase orders are usually ready for collection in store within 7-10 business days from the date of purchase. If you ordered online or have selected to have them shipped to you, please allow a little longer. Once your order has been shipped from our warehouse, we will send you an email with the tracking information.

Certain orders with incomplete prescriptions will take longer to fulfil, as we may need to contact you to verify or obtain missing information. This may also be the case when we need to obtain your prescription from your optometrist.

Please allow more time for collection or delivery during peak times of the year like public holidays or the christmas period.

How do I place an order for multiple pairs of glasses using different prescriptions?

If you are interested in purchasing multiple pairs using different prescriptions (e.g. one pair for distance and one for reading), please enter your full prescription, including the reading additon and order your SVD (Single vision distance) pair first. You can then select your second pair and choose SVN (Single vision near).

Our two pairs for $249 is only available per person and cannot be split between two people. Only one prescription can be used per offer. If you have different prescriptions that you would like you use, you would need to visit an Oscar Wylee store and they can advise the best way to proceed.
