Classic Eyeglasses

Why mess with a good thing? They're called the classics for a reason, after all. These frames are far from trendy and won't be found with complex design elements or bright colors. These timeless frames marry simple, yet elegant, design with neutral colors.

We know glitz and glam doesn't strike everyone's fancy, so we offer over 100 standard frames. We've compiled all of the tried and true -not to mention, our most popular- frames at EyeBuyDirect. You can be certain that these everlasting specs will never go out of style. Use these traditional frames as reading glasses, everyday wear, or as a backup pair to keep on hand. Shop classics now.

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

Never Out of Style

Classic frames are called “classic” because they’re timelessly fashionable and fashionably timeless. At EyeBuyDirect, you’ll always find an impressive array of classic eyeglass frames you can count on for impressing even the hardest to impress people. Blending well with nearly all types of facial structures, our classic frames come in dramatically attractive colors and avant-garde styles you won’t find anywhere else. Desired for their ability to deliver bold, unique statements, classic frames make wearers feel like taking on the world without compromise.

When you order your classic eyeglasses, you also have several choices regarding lens type. Distance lenses designed for people with nearsightedness support your ability to see things at a distance, while reading lenses for classic eyeglass frames bring up-close print into crystal-clear focus. If you have trouble seeing objects far away and up close, you should consider our multifocal lenses offering dual prescription benefits. Of course, if you don’t need glasses but love the sleek, smart look of classic frames, simply order transparent, non-prescription lenses.

Spend a lot of time in front of a computer screen? Include our digital screen protection option when ordering your classic eyeglasses to help protect your eyes from strain, glare, and fatigue. Go a step further to improve eye protection by choosing tinted lenses that transform your lenses into sunglasses when you step out into the real world.

Enjoy Your New Classic Eyeglass Frames!

We are so confident you will fall madly in love with your new eyeglasses, we guarantee the superior quality of all EyeBuyDirect eyewear 100 percent. If you decide you and your glasses can’t be friends, just contact us for a replacement or refund. We have a 14-day fit and style guarantee allowing all customers to make equal returns or exchanges — no questions asked. Our 365-day product guarantee stipulates customers can replace one pair of glasses within 12 months of receiving their glasses if there are defects in workmanship or materials.
