Frequently Asked Questions

  • ABOUT COVID-19

    • Will the COVID-19 pandemic delay my order?

      Fitz is fully operational and our factory in Youngstown, OH is up and running. While the situation is fluid, and there have been some delays reported with shipping carriers, you should still expect your glasses to arrive in under two week from the time you place your order (or we receive your prescription).

    • Is it safe to order glasses?

      Fitz is a great option for getting glasses from the comfort of your own home. Both kids and adults can rest assured that their glasses will arrive fitting great. We’re practicing social distancing and sanitization procedures in our factory to ensure your safety.

    • What is Fitz doing to help?

      In addition to providing glasses to folks in need during this complicated time, we’re introducing Fitz Protect: protective eyewear designed especially for healthcare professionals on the front lines.

  • FITZ PROTECT

    • What is Fitz Protect?

      Fitz Protect is custom fitted eye protection for health care workers. Fitz Protect comes in prescription and non-prescription options and is designed to cover more surface area of faces (including eyebrows). It will fit flush against the wearer's face, reducing the chances of droplet and viral contact.

    • Who needs Fitz Protect?

      In addition to masks, health care workers need protective eyewear in order to prevent small droplets of fluid carrying the virus from reaching their eyes and accumulating on eyebrows and eyelashes.


      After speaking with doctors from hospitals around the country, we learned that they needed more facial and eye protection while tending to patients with Covid-19. Additionally, the  American Academy of Ophthalmology is recommending everyone switch from contact lenses to eyeglasses to prevent contact with the eyes; this is particularly important for doctors and medical staff.

    • Are these a substitute for a face shield, PAPR, or respirator?

      No. These are not a substitute for full-seal personal protective equipment if available. Fitz Protect is designed to be worn comfortably with a face shield and provide an additional line of defense from virus-containing droplets that could go into your eyes and cause illness.

    • I’m a healthcare professional, how do I order?

      We make ordering simple - anytime, anyplace in the USA. Simply download the free Fitz app and in under 5 minutes you can capture your measurements and place your order. If you’ve been provided a code by your employer, union, or through our donation program, put it in at checkout. We ship directly to your home or hospital.

    • I’m not a healthcare professional, but these look awesome. Can I still order?

      Folks on the front lines of the COVID-19 pandemic need as much protection as they can get. We prioritize orders for medical professionals; doctor, nurse, or technicians in order to get them their glasses in a timely manner. The general public is welcome to order, but they might take a little while longer than usual glasses. (You should still get them within two to three weeks)

    • How do you clean Fitz Protect?

      Fitz Protect is designed to be disinfected using standard procedures already in place in healthcare environments. They have been tested with standard Sani-wipe and bleach protocols. If you have questions or concerns please contact ppe@fitzframes.com

    • How can I help? 

      You make a tax deductible donation via our 501(c)(3) partner The Loving Eyes Foundation. 100% of your donation goes directly to providing glasses for healthcare professionals on the front lines. You can donate via our gofundme page or for larger donations please contact us directly at ppe@fitzframes.com.

  • ABOUT FITZ

    • What is Fitz’s Mission?

      Fitz is solving glasses for kids and parents...because those who can see the world are the ones who will change it.

    • What is Fitz?

      Fitz is a made-to-measure custom eyeglasses company. Using our easy-to-use app to take precise measurements of your face, we 3D print custom eyeglasses in a wide range of styles and colors, and use a variety of lenses. We also employ an Augmented-Reality virtual try-on that provides your kids agency in choosing the style and color that best suits their unique personality. In addition to prescription lenses, we offer non-prescription sunglasses and blue-light glasses.  

    • What makes Fitz unique?

      Your kid’s glasses should be as awesome and unique as they are. Fitz delivers customized, 3D-printed glasses for kids and parents that care about a great fit, personal style and convenience.

      We started Fitz after identifying a multitude of pain points that parents experience when trying to fit and purchase eyewear for their children. 

      • Convenience with technology: We use an app-based facial mapping technology to take millimeter accurate measurements of your child's face and employ an Augmented-Reality virtual try-on to produce custom 3D-printed eyeglasses - all via your mobile app!

      • Personalization and Pricing: Kids love the agency in choosing the style and color that best suits their unique personality and the glasses are priced to allow parents the flexibility of ordering multiple pairs or just getting a single pair - either way, you won't break the bank. Your child’s measurements are securely stored in your account where you can access them at anytime.

      • Durability: The unique hinge design makes it simple to pop back in - delivering truly “play-ready” frames. No screws and no replacement parts required.

  • 3D PRINTING & THE GLASSES

    • What is 3D printing?

      3D printing or additive manufacturing, is a process of building three dimensional objects from a digital file. In 3D printing, the object is created by laying down successive layers of material until the object is fully formed. This technique is used extensively in medical devices (like custom implants), aerospace (yes, rockets), and now glasses. Additive manufacturing allows us to create a new, fully custom pair of frames from the ground up for each and every one of our customers.

    • How much does a pair of Fitz Frames cost?

      A one-time purchase starts at $95 for a basic pair of prescription eyeglasses. Fitz’s membership plan starts at $185/year and includes two pairs of eyeglasses and unlimited frames (you just pay for lenses and shipping) for a full year from the time of purchase. The typical cost for a base set of lenses plus shipping is ~$50

    • Where are Fitz Frames made?

      We are proud that all Fitz glasses are both designed and manufactured in the USA.

    • Why is there a warning sticker in my box?

      Prop 65 is a law which requires that all Californian companies who have polycarbonate in their product include this warning.

      We are a California based company and adhere to the FDA requirement and Proposition 65 law which requires that all medical devices include a notification if there is a possibility of trace amounts of BPA. Our lenses are made of polycarbonate as required for children’s glasses.

  • FITZ APP

    • Which mobile devices does Fitz currently support?

      You can currently download our app to any iOS device, however, in order to purchase glasses, you will need to order from an iPhone X, XR or XS, or XS Max. These phones include a depth camera (not available on earlier versions of iOS devices) which allows us to take precise measurements of your face. We are currently working on an Android app - stay tuned for information on the release.

    • I can’t get the app to download. What should I do?

      Our app requires an iPhone X, XR or XS, or XS Max. If you have one of these models and you’re still having trouble downloading the app, try restarting your phone. If you’re still having trouble, please contact us either by email or by phone at support@fitzframes.com or 1 (833) SEE-FITZ, 1 (833) 733-3489.

    • I am receiving an error message. What should I do?

      If you’re repeatedly receiving an error message, please fully close the app and reopen to try again. If you still see errors, try restarting your phone. If neither of these options work, please contact us either by email or by phone at support@fitzframes.com or 1 (833) SEE-FITZ, 1 (833) 733-3489.

    • Where can I find my account information?

      Once you are logged into your account in the Fitz Frames app, tap on the Account tab at the bottom where you can see your order history, contact information settings, saved profiles, and general account information. You can also reset your password and check order status.

    • Are my children’s measurements stored? Can I use them for an order at a later time?
      Yes! Your child’s measurements are securely stored in your account. Just log into your account in the Fitz Frames app to see your child(ren)’s measurement information and use them to re-order at any time. If it’s been a while, you can also update your child’s profile with new measurements.

    • How can I see my children’s prescription information?

      If you’ve added prescription information as part of an order, it’s automatically associated with the particular child profile. Should you need to access it, please contact us either by email or by phone at support@fitzframes.com or 1 (833) SEE-FITZ, 1 (833) 733-3489. Stay tuned - you will soon be able to sign up for reminders when it’s time for your kids’ next vision checkup!

  • ORDERS

    • What do I need to do to place an order?

      We try to keep things as simple as possible at Fitz. All you need to do to place an order is download the Fitz Frames app from the iOS app store. Within the app, you’ll be able to measure your child’s face, choose the style and color of your frames, and even see what your child will look like in our glasses through augmented reality. It is helpful to have a copy of your child’s prescription handy as you place your order, but that can be sent in after you complete your purchase (see Prescriptions).

    • Can I purchase just the frame? Then take that to get the prescription filled locally?
      Fitz is not currently permitted to ship frames without lenses.

    • Can I order a pair of replacement temples?

      Should you need replacement temples, we will do our best to accommodate you. Simply email us at support@fitzframes.com or call us at 1 (833) SEE-FITZ, 1 (833) 733-3489. Please include or be ready with the order number you used when you placed the original order.

    • How do I check the status of my order?

      To check on the status of an order, go to the My Account Tab and select My Orders in the Fitz Frames App. You’re always welcome to reach out via email or phone at support@fitzframes.com or 1 (833) SEE-FITZ, 1 (833) 733-3489.

    • How do I order multiple pairs of glasses with different prescriptions?

      It’s easy! The Fitz app allows for the creation of multiple profiles under one account. Simply use the app to measure each person and enter the name to generate a profile. After adding a pair of glasses to your cart, select “Use Existing Measurements” and select the appropriate profile.

      You can also start shopping right away and measure each person after adding a new pair of frames to your cart. We’ve made it flexible so you can shop the way you like.

    • What if I am interested in placing a bulk order?

      We would like to give all our customers an opportunity to buy our eyeglasses. Therefore, we do not allow purchases with the intent to resell, or the purchase of commercial quantities of our eyeglasses without our prior authorization. To make purchases of glasses in an amount larger than 10, please contact support@fitzframes.com.

    • What if I need to change or cancel an order?

      Each pair of Fitz Frames is uniquely made for each individual, so glasses that we’ve already printed for one customer can not be reused or resold to another. We’ll do our best to accommodate cancelations or changes to your order, but we can not guarantee cancelation once the glasses have already been printed (usually 24 hrs after the order has been placed). The best way to change or cancel an order is to call us at 1 (833) SEE-FITZ, 1 (833) 733-3489.

  • CUSTOM FIT

    • What age range do your children’s glasses fit?

      Our glasses are custom printed based on any individual’s measurements. They fit both kids and adults of any size. However, our current styles and colors were designed specifically for children ages 3 and up. If your child is younger than 3, we may still be able to provide glasses as a special order. Please contact us via email or phone at support@fitzframes.com or 1 (833) SEE-FITZ, 1 (833) 733-3489.

    • What if my child’s frame needs adjustment?

      Fitz’s unique facial scanning technology should ensure that your child’s glasses fit correctly right out of the box. If there is an instance where you feel a slight adjustment is necessary, they can be adjusted similar to traditional frames at an eyeglass retailer. As our glasses are made to fit each individual, they may feel different than traditional glasses, which only come in a few sizes. If your child’s glasses don’t fit well, we want to know about it! Please email us at hello@fitzframes.com.

    • My child can’t wear conventional glasses, can you make specialty glasses?

      Our app and fitting system is designed to make glasses for nearly every kid. Some kids with craniofacial anomalies can’t wear conventional glasses, and we’d love to help! We’re partnering with some great folks who are adapting our system to make great glasses for just about any kid. Give us a ring at 1 (833) SEE-FITZ, 1 (833) 733-3489.

  • PRESCRIPTIONS

    • My child has a high prescription. Can you fill the order?

      We can currently fulfill single vision prescriptions of +-6.0 sphere (SPH) and up to 2.5 cylinder (CYL). If your child’s prescription falls outside this range we may still be able to fill it as a special order. If this is the case or you have any questions about what we can offer, please contact us via email or phone at support@fitzframes.com or 1 (833) SEE-FITZ, 1 (833) 733-3489.

    • How do I submit my prescription?

      Whenever you add a pair of frames to your cart in the Fitz App, you will be prompted to submit your prescription. You can choose one of several options:

      1) Upload an image of your eyeglass prescription to your order - simply snap a photo.

      2) Submit your doctor’s contact information (we’ll contact them for you to obtain your prescription)

      3) Elect to send your prescription to us later at Rx@fitzframes.com. If you’ve selected this option, we’ll email you after you’ve completed your order to remind you.

    • What if my prescription changes?

      We’ll do our best to accommodate any changes to your order. If you do have changes to your prescription, please email or call as soon as possible at orders@fitzframes.com or 1 (833) SEE-FITZ, 1 (833) 733-3489.

    • I would like to place an order for glasses, but I don’t have my prescription. Can I do this?
      Yes! Simply take your child’s measurements, make your eyeglass style and color selection on the app, choose the type of lens you would like (basic Rx, blue light, sun etc) and elect the option to send us your prescription later at rx@fitzframes.com. Please note that we will not begin processing your order until we have your prescription. If you’ve elected to email us later, we’ll email you after you’ve completed your order to remind you to submit your prescription.

    • How do I obtain a prescription?

      Make an appointment with your local optometrist or ophthalmologist, or find an available doctor through an online medical service. Be sure to ask your doctor to include your pupillary distance (PD) on your prescription.

  • PRODUCT INQUIRIES – FRAMES AND LENSES

    • How many styles and colors do you offer? What are those colors?

      Fitz currently offers six different frame styles in eight different colors. Those colors are grey, navy, red, burgundy, hot pink, brown, lavender, and white. You can find the full selection of frames both on the website and in the app. Note: as every pair of glasses is printed from scratch, slight color variations may exist from one order to the next.

    • Can I order frames without lenses?

      In order to ensure the highest quality product and fit, Fitz only ships complete sets of glasses (frames plus lenses).

    • What type of lens is included in the base cost?

      All of our frames include high quality Polycarbonate with anti-reflective (AR) coating.
