Step 2: Have Your Prescription Ready 

Make sure you have an up-to-date prescription from your eye doctor, including: 

  • SPH, CYL, and Axis for each eye 
  • ADD power if you need progressives 
  • PD (Pupillary Distance) — a must-have for proper lens alignment 

What is PD and Why Is It Important? 

Pupillary Distance (PD) is the distance in millimeters between the centers of your pupils. It ensures that your lenses are correctly aligned with your eyes, giving you the clearest, most comfortable vision possible. 

If the PD is off, your prescription sunglasses may cause eye strain or distortion—especially during high-motion activities like cycling or running. 

Your eye doctor may not include it by default, but you can measure it at home! We walk you through the simple process here:

Once you select your frame, you'll be guided through customizing your lenses. Tifosi offers: 

  • Single Vision or Progressive lenses 
  • Lens tints for sun, sport, or everyday 
  • Lens treatments like polarization or anti-reflective coating 

Our Rx lenses are crafted to meet your visual needs without compromising on performance or style. 

Step 4: Upload Your Prescription 

After customizing your lenses, simply upload a photo or PDF of your prescription at checkout.
