It works and is free 💜 totally buying from glassesusa

At first it didn’t work for me and I thought it was a scam but then I did it again and it worked perfectly. In the end when you put your email it does not ask for money or anything like that it just wants to save your prescription I love it and am so thankful have told various friends about it. Thank you so much.

What is this witchcraft!?

This is sorcery! I feel just like I did as a child when David Copperfield asked me to hold my card up to the television screen and guessed the suit and number. And then made the Statue of Liberty disappear.

I ordered a pair of glasses from another company and tested this app to see if it would work or if I should go to an optician to check and ensure the correct prescription. This was SPOT ON in what I ordered. Even the Cylinder was perfect, along with my pupil distance given by my doctor. The axis was within 3-4 degrees for one of the eyes, but it was minimal one time. I tested this cauldron of spells three times and the second of three had one eye off by .25, but that was because I did a horrible job keeping steady when tilting my glasses. Make sure your steady and do it a few times to confirm.

Sorcery I say....

Hey there, we are so happy to hear this!!! Next time you can purchase the glasses at www.GlassesUSA.com as well :)

Couldn't use

5 stars bc the team behind this app seems amazing and willing to help. I didn't know that you needed a computer as well to use this app. The ad on your website didn't mention it, but besides that I love it. Will try to get to a computer for it

Actually worked

I ordered glasses from glassesUSA a couple years ago. I wanted to see if this app would be accurate with my prescription and it was IDENTICAL. It reads your prescription of the glasses you have. This will save so many people so much money and trouble! It literally took 5 minutes.

Nailed my prescription

This app is brilliant.
My fiancé and I just spent half our afternoon attempting to locate his prescription from his eye doctor who wasn’t open.
I discovered this app and while it seems my fiancés prescription may have too much astigmatism (said glasses were too curved?) it got mine to the T.
It worked very quickly, this truly is a fantastic app.
Thank you.

Pleasantly surprised

So I broke my glasses and I had no idea where my script was and the last eye center I went to said they didn’t keep scripts after 2 years, so I didn’t know what to do. I couldn’t afford to go to an eye doctor and somehow I stumbled across this app while searching to see if it’s possible to get the script from the actual lenses. I was like no way is this actually gonna work but I was desperate. It gave me a result and I ordered some $38 frames from Walmart. Holy crap it actually worked, if it’s not my exact script it’s dang close cause I can see just fine. Thank you so much for this app!!!

We are so happy to hear it worked perfectly for you! Next time you can try buying glasses online as well :)

Wonderful!

I got my eye information from my actual eye doctor and I don’t want to pay to get my eyes checked again just to buy glasses online if I have the same prescription (which I thought I did) and this is exactly what I had as my prescription before! Worked wonderfully!

Inaccurate results. Don’t waste your time.

I just used the app to get my prescription reading and it was completed successfully. But i had a few questions about the accuracy of the results so i called the customer service number just now and spoke to a representative and he instructed me that the results from the app may not be right and to go to the doctor for a accurate reading (which is understandable) but i was puzzled at that because what’s the point of the application in that case, is it to waste people’s valuable time? In that case I wouldn’t recommend anyone to use this application for their prescription. If I could review without a star I would.

Doesn’t work with large, hi-resolution monitor

Updated: changed rating from 1 star to 3. The problem was with my hi-res 32-inch 4K monitor, set to “larger size” text in the Macintosh display control panel. The app thought the browser window was too small when in fact it was large. By the time I made the browser window big enough so the app stopped complaining, it was so huge I had to hold my phone WAY back, and couldn’t hold my glasses half-way between.

When I switched to the MacBook’s built-in laptop display, it was fast and easy.

Original review: Spent 15 minutes, app simply didn’t work. First, it kept telling me to get the dots in the phone camera’s view even though they plainly were. Then it just couldn’t find my credit card even though I followed the instructions exactly. Finally got thru that, then a repeat of those failures as it tried to measure my glasses. After 20 minutes my arms were so tired from holding my glasses and moving them back and forth with no apparent progress I had to give up. Very frustrated.

Hey there! We are very sorry you felt frustrated with the app. Sometimes the camera is dirty and the app is not able to read the lenses. We suggest you to try it again by cleaning the camera and let us know if if works for you.
