Spring Hinges

Life is all about the constants. Finding a pair of glasses for every-day use is almost like finding a soul mate. Luckily for you, finding a reliable set of frames is not nearly as hard. Spring-hinged frames offer all the flexibility and utility you want and are expertly designed to last the test of time.

Why choose spring-hinged eyewear? When opened, small springs within the hinges allow the arms to extend past the traditional 90 degree range of movement. This higher level of flexibility not only protects your glasses from bending or breaking, but also guarentees a higher level of comfort. Since the temple sections of the glasses are able to move back and forth fluidly, you can expect your special pair to last for years.

How to Read an Eyeglass Prescription

SPH (Sphere)

Spherical error, or overall power of lens is the basic part of your prescription. A (+) means you have trouble seeing near, and a (-) means you have trouble seeing things faraway.

CYL (Cylinder) & Axis

A cylinder value indicates astigmatisms or perpetually blurry vision. Axis—measured between 1 and 180°— tell us the orientation of the astigmatism

ADD (Addition)

This number is sometimes written NV for near vision and is used for multifocal lenses and readers

PD (Pupillary Distance)

It's just what sounds like—the distance in millimeters (mm) between your pupils. An average PD measurement is 63 mm, but varies by person. If it's not on the prescription, you can measure it yourself by:
• printing the downloadable PD ruler.
• watching our tutorial video.

PRISM

We can process prism prescriptions to correct eye orientation

Vertical Prism is used to help correct vertical eye misalignments and is prescribed in opposite directions for both eyes

Horizontal Prism is used to help correct lateral eye misalignments and is always prescribed in the same direction for both eyes

On One Hand...

Frames designed with spring hinges offer more than just excellent durability. Try out this little trick: Only have one hand free? Just insert one thumb underneath both temples and lift it. The spring-loaded design will let you open up your favorite pair with just a single finger. No effort required. No fuss needed.

The Difference in Durability

Spring hinged frames offer the best in terms of durability. However, the extra toughness does come at a price. While the lifespans of spring hinged glasses are much longer than those of standard hinged glasses, the process to repair them is much more intricate.

When it comes to regular framed glasses, EyeBuyDirect happily provides specialized screwdrivers so that customers can personally make small tweaks and repairs. However, spring-hinged glasses are more complex to salvage and might have to be taken in for professional repairs. Unless you're an expert DIYer, we recommend paying a visit to your local eyewear shop.
