Testimonials

I recently ordered Rudy Project SIRIUS prescription glasses ; they took 3 weeks to arrive and our truly fantastic. I have been a long time user of the Rudy Prescription range and mainly wear them when riding my bike. Being very happy with the Rudy Rydon range, I was keen to try their latest model being the SIRIUS in the Photochromic purple lens and they are AMAZING. Clarity is incredible and frame is super comfortable

Getting your Script

If you're seeking to obtain your prescription for eyewear, commonly referred to as a "script," it's essential to reach out to your optometrist. Your optometrist is the healthcare professional who conducted your eye examination and is therefore responsible for providing you with the necessary prescription information. This includes details such as your current eyeglass or contact lens prescription.

To acquire your updated prescription, you have every right to contact your optometrist directly and request it. Whether you require a new prescription for eyeglasses or contact lenses, it's important to ensure that your prescription is up-to-date to maintain optimal vision correction and eye health.

By reaching out to your optometrist, you can initiate the process of obtaining your prescription and proceed with any necessary steps to fulfill your eyewear needs. Remember, your optometrist is there to assist you in maintaining good eye health and vision clarity, so don't hesitate to get in touch with them for your prescription requirements

You need your PD (Pupil Distance)

The PD measurement is crucial for ensuring that your eyewear is properly fitted and provides optimal vision correction. If your PD is not included in your prescription, there are two options available to obtain it:

  1. Contact Your Optometrist: You have the right to call your optometrist and request your PD measurement. They may have it on file and can provide it to you upon request. This ensures that you have all the necessary information for ordering your eyewear accurately.
  2. Online PD Measurement Tools: Alternatively, many online eyewear retailers offer a convenient solution through their ordering platforms. When manually entering your prescription details, you may encounter a tab labeled "Find my PD." By clicking on this option, you can access an online PD measurement test. This test typically requires you to have a camera attached to your computer or device. Follow the instructions provided to accurately measure your PD from the comfort of your home.
