Our frames are made of premium, hypoallergenic cellulose acetate, which we source from a family-owned factory in Northern Italy (the very first to create faux tortoise shell).

We believe that incredible quality should not cost a fortune. We keep our prices reasonable by designing our eyewear in-house and working directly with manufacturers, removing all middlemen from our supply chain and passing along the savings to our customers.

Absolutely. We make both prescription and non-prescription sunwear, using the highest quality UVA/UVB protective lenses on the market. Polarized lenses come standard in all prescription and non-prescription sunwear.

Check out the frames page of your favorite style. All the measurements you need for a perfect fit are ready.

Email us at service@classicspecs.com. We'll be able to give you an idea of when the style might return, and we may just have a spare pair for you!

We can accept all major credit cards including VISA, MasterCard, Discover, and American Express. We also have PayPal as an alternative method of payment. We accept FSA and HSA cards as well. Learn more about FSA glasses purchases.

Yes! Our light transitioning photochromic lenses come in grey and brown. They also come with anti-reflective and anti-scratch coatings standard.

Low bridge fit glasses are special frames with extended Nose Pads For Comfort and Fit. Longer nose pads ensure your frames sit on your nose instead of slipping down your face.

Glasses containing single-vision prescription lenses will take 5-7 business days to process at our Optical Lab.

High index lenses are used with particularly strong prescriptions, and are made of a material with a higher refractive index (pl 1.67) than standard index lenses - essentially, they can accommodate a stronger prescription in a lighter, thinner lens. If you suffer from the 'coke-bottle' effect from thicker lenses, you might want to give high index lenses a try. We recommend high index lenses for prescriptions stronger than +/-4.00 sphere, or for prescriptions that have both a significant sphere value and astigmatic correction (or cylinder value).

You will be able to select the package that best suits your needs in the checkout process after you enter your prescription.

The strongest prescription we can fill is -10.00 sphere, +6.00 sphere, or +/-4.00 cylinder. If you have a stronger prescription than these limits, you are welcome to purchase our frames without lenses and have your prescription filled locally by your optometrist. To do so, find your your favorite style and simply select "add to cart".

Our lenses are made from polycarbonate, one of the most shatter-resistant materials on earth. We also offer and high-index (thinner) for high prescription. You will be able to select the lens package that best suits your needs in the checkout process after you enter your prescription.

Classic Specs also offers Photochromic lenses that transition from clear to dark when exposed to UV light.

Every single pair of our eyeglass lenses are then finished with anti-reflective and scratch-resistant coatings, which are included in the purchase price of the glasses.

We offer free-form HD progressive lenses, which are made with the latest precision computerized surfacing equipment for the greatest clarity and most accurate prescription. We use an algorithm to calculate the segment height, in order to ensure you have the perfect prescription at every point in your lenses.

We do not offer bi-focal lenses at this time. Please email service@classicspecs.com to join the contact list for this product.

Prism prescriptions are for sensitive eyes and help to reduce muscular strain. They're best filled in person. For prescriptions containing prisms, we recommend you purchase our frames without lenses (starting at just $80) and then bring them to your optometrist to have your prescription filled locally.

At this time we can only accept insurance in the form of an FSA or HSA (two types of health insurance which look and act like debit cards). We no longer write up itemized receipts for insurance reimbursement purposes, but you may advise your insurance provider to simply split the total price in half to account for the cost of frames versus lenses.

An HSA (or Health Savings Account) is a medical savings account of pre-tax dollars. The account allows you to set aside a portion of your wages to pay for health and wellness expenses. At the end of the year, any unused amounts may be rolled over to subsequent years.

An FSA (Flexible Spending Account) is similar to an HSA with a few key differences. Those with this type of coverage must use the funds in their account or they will expire at the end of the year. Learn more about FSA glasses purchases.

Classic Specs accepts FSA and HSA dollars for all prescription eyewear purchases (including prescription sunglasses, progressives, and readers!) as long as your FSA or HSA card is affiliated with a major credit card.

Be sure to double-check the balance on your FSA account before making your purchase.

Yes, absolutely, as long as they are prescription sunglasses.
