About
GlassifyMe offers a top-rated collection of mobile applications purpose-built to help consumers order eyeglasses and contact lenses online independently and accurately. The suite consists of three core apps available on both iOS and Android: the PD Meter App, which uses your smartphone to measure pupillary distance — a critical value required when ordering prescription glasses online; the Contact Lens Rx App, which helps users read, manage, and apply their contact lens prescription for online ordering; and the Lens Thickness App, which calculates the anticipated thickness of eyeglass lenses based on prescription parameters, helping users select the appropriate lens material and index. GlassifyMe is ideal for budget-conscious shoppers who want to bypass costly in-store optician fees and order prescription eyewear directly from online retailers. First-time online eyewear buyers benefit from the guided workflows, while seasoned wearers appreciate the convenience of having all their optical tools in one place. The apps are straightforward to use with no technical background required. GlassifyMe is particularly valuable for users who already have a prescription from their eye doctor but need help taking their own measurements or understanding their Rx details before placing an online order.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is pupillary distance (PD) and why do I need it?
Pupillary distance is the measurement (in millimeters) between the centers of your pupils. Online eyeglass retailers require this value to correctly position the optical centers of your lenses, ensuring clear and comfortable vision.
Is GlassifyMe available on Android?
Yes, all GlassifyMe apps are available on both iOS (Apple) and Android (Google) devices.
Can GlassifyMe give me an eye prescription?
No. GlassifyMe helps you measure PD, interpret an existing prescription, and calculate lens thickness — but it does not replace a professional eye exam or generate a new prescription.
What does the Lens Thickness App do?
The Lens Thickness App estimates how thick your eyeglass lenses will be based on your prescription strength, helping you decide which lens index (material) is most suitable for your needs.
Is GlassifyMe free to use?
GlassifyMe apps are available to download on the App Store and Google Play. Pricing details, including any free or premium tiers, can be found on the respective app store listings or by contacting GlassifyMe directly.
