What is the Interpupillary Distance of your reading glasses ?
Pupillary Distance is the industry standard in millimeters between the centres of the pupils.
For Compact 1 and Compact 2 Readers and Sunreaders this is 62mm.
To judge your PD.
Someone with training in the field of optics can accurately measure your pupillary distance, or you can make an approximate measurement yourself using a ruler, with someone's assistance or a mirror. The measurement will usually be taken twice: 1st with the patient focusing at a distance, and 2nd with the patient focusing at something close. The second measurement is used for reading glasses, and bifocals however the rule of thumb is that the so-called "near PD" will be 4 millimetres less than the "far PD" when the far PD is over 60mm, or 3 millimetres less than the far PD when the far PD is under 60mm. It is recommended, due to accuracy, to measure the PD with a pupilometer, however some practitioners take preliminary measurements with a millimeter ruler placed across the bridge of the nose. You can also measure your PD using a suitable photo and an online pupillometer. This method requires you to take a photo of your face with a ruler on your forehead or while wearing glasses of known length. To find your PD, you can use this photo in an online pupillometer or in any photo editing software that includes a 'measure' tool.

Whats the difference between Dioptric Power and Dioptre ?
Optical power or Dioptric power is the degree to which a lens converges or diverges light. The Dioptre is the most common unit of measurement of optical power.
Anisometropia is where one eye has a different refractive power than the other eye. In this condition you will need to purchase your reading glasses from an optician as at Goggleyes we only supply standard dioptric lenses in our reading glasses....sorry. :-(

When can I expect my order to be delivered?
You will receive an e mail from us at point of despatch.
In the UK unless you chose the Next Day or 48 hour delivery options (extra cost) you can normally expect your order to arrive within 3 working days of receipt of the "Despatched" e mail. For other products other than glasses we use Royal Mail's standard parcel service to keep costs down for you.Shipping to other destinations outside the UK is very much dependant on the local postal service but from experience this is usually no more than 7 to 10 days.
Your "despatched" e mail will give you more details.
