Frequently Asked Questions

Your Pupillary Distance (PD) is the measurement, in millimeters, between the centers of your pupils. It’s an essential part of getting a precise fit — helping to align your lenses perfectly with your eyes for maximum comfort and crystal-clear vision.

If your PD isn’t listed on your prescription, you can easily obtain it by contacting your doctor or optometrist.

Prescription lenses are custom-made to your specs. Production usually takes 8-10 days, plus shipping time.

Currently we only ship prescription safety glasses to Canada and USA.

When placing your order, you’ll receive a tax invoice/receipt that can be submitted to your health fund for a rebate. Some funds may even allow direct claiming online for faster processing.

Yes! For prescriptions around +3.00 (farsighted) or -3.00 (nearsighted), we use digital lens thinning technology. This custom process:

• Reduces lens thickness without compromising optical clarity
  Makes lenses lighter and more comfortable for all-day wear
• Keeps your glasses looking sleek in any frame
  

Even if your prescription is higher than +3 or -3, digital lens thinning ensures your EMU Safety glasses are stylish, comfortable, and perfectly suited to your vision needs.

Yes! EMU lenses can be enhanced with blue light protection, which helps filter high-energy blue light from screens, LED lighting, and the sun.

Benefits include:

• Reduced eye strain and fatigue during long hours on digital devices
• Improved visual comfort on the job or at home
• May support healthier sleep patterns by minimizing blue light exposure in the evening

Blue light protection is available with any lens type — clear or photochromic — without affecting clarity or style.

All EMU Prescription Safety Lenses come with essential protective coatings at no extra cost, including:

• Anti-scratch coating – keeps your lenses durable and looking new
• Anti-fog coating – prevents fogging in changing temperatures or when wearing masks
• Anti-glare coating – reduces reflections for clearer, more comfortable vision.

These standard coatings ensure your lenses are durable, safe, and comfortable.

Yes! All EMU Prescription Safety Lenses include a 12-month warranty. This covers any manufacturing defects in the lenses or coatings, giving you peace of mind that your glasses are built to last.

Normal wear and tear, accidental damage, or misuse are not covered, so handle your lenses with care for long-lasting performance.

Mirror Polarized and Mirror Tint lenses offer excellent glare reduction and enhanced style, but their reflective coating requires a bit of extra care.

Protection: Every EMU lens is made with durable coatings, but the mirror finish can scratch if not handled properly.

Care tips:

• Always use a soft microfiber cloth for cleaning
• Avoid abrasive surfaces or harsh chemicals
• Store glasses in a protective case when not in use

While every effort is made to ensure durable, long-lasting mirror coatings, proper care is essential to maintain their performance and appearance
