First, choose between plastic or metal frame.

Now you decide the type of lenses you like better. There are many different lenses and coatings to choose from. For example, you can pick from polycarbonate or high-index lenses, or opt for regular plastic lenses (the least expensive choice)

Write down any coatings you may want like ultraviolet coating to help protect your eyes from UV rays, or anti-reflective coating so your glasses don't produce a reflection. If you like, can also select tint.

Frame Size

Always find out what your frame size is. Look at your current glasses and write down all details such as: the Model number; color; eye size and bridge size, and temple length. If the information is not available, go to a local optical store and find out details.

Have your PD measurement taken.This is the pupil distance. This is actually difficult to do but luckily when shopping online most retailers will show you methods for reveal your PD. The easiest way to do this is simply have your optician measure it for you when writing your prescription and you can just supply this number when ordering your eyeglasses online.
