Shopping for eyeglasses online, while it should be mostly enjoyable, can also be a challenge. Because shapes and sizes vary on each person, we’ve created a new online tool to make this process a lot easier. Welcome, Virtual TRY-ON, a virtual tool that lets you try on any style from our online selection. Either upload an image from your computer, shoot an image with your own web cam, or use one of our models, and follow a couple easy steps to ‘try them on.’ We’ve assembled a quick step-by-step tutorial:

1. Click on the ‘Virtual TRY-ON’ tab either in the top toolbar, or you can access this while browsing any style and clicking on the “Try Before You Buy” button towards the bottom.

2. You have the option to either 1. upload an image from your computer or 2. snap a quick picture with your Web cam or 3. Use one of the model pictures we have on file.

3. Once you choose your image, it will appear on the screen.

4. Under the image you’ll see three cards. One for the right eye, one for the left and one for your ear.

5. Drag the eye tags to the center of each eye so that the + lays over each pupil (L and R refers to camera left and camera right.) Drag the + of the ear tag to the outer edge of either ear choosing the most visible of the two.

6. Once everything is aligned, click ‘next.’

7. If you clicked the try on button directly from a particular style, the style will now appear on your image. But if you clicked the button on the toolbar you will be given the option to choose a style from the gallery. As you can see on the bottom toolbar, you have the option to change the glasses style or your image at any time.

8. Use the buttons on the bottom of the image to both adjust the size of the glasses, and the angle.

9. Once everything is situated, you’re set! You can buy directly from the toolbar below, share the image on Facebook, or start over with another pair.
