Do you perform eye exams?
No. Please see a licensed doctor or optometrist first and bring or send us your prescription.
Can I add a blue-light filter to single-vision lenses?
Yes. Blue-light lenses can be ordered together with a single-vision prescription. Ask us when you send your prescription.
How much do single-vision lenses cost?
The price depends on your prescription and the frame. We confirm it in AED, including 5% VAT, after you send your prescription.
