FAQs

Ordering


Q1. What information do I need before placing an order with Tactical Optician?

You need to have a valid copy of your most recent eye prescription, it must be no more than 2 years old, but if an earlier re examination date is specified, it must not be older than the re examination date.

Q2. How do I get hold of my prescription and pupillary distance (PD)?
Your optician is obliged by the Opticians Act 1988 to supply  you a copy of your prescription once he/she considers your eye examination is complete. He/she is not obliged to provide your pupillary distance. He/she may measure & supply your PD if you explain why you need it.  If your optician will not provide you with your PD measurement, go to the bottom of this page for an explanation on how to measure your own Pupillary Distance.

Frames and lenses

Q4. Are your frames and lenses the same quality as I would obtain from my optician?
Yes. All our safety frames are certified to EN166  or ANSI Z87.1 and are CE marked. Our optical insert lenses are supplied in standard plastic, as the optical insert fits inside a frame or goggle with a ballistic resistant outer lens.All our eyewear is approved for Military use.

Q5. How do you make sure I receive the correct frame size?
The frames have a wrap around design which requires no adjustment to fit.  Goggles are one size to fit, also.
 
Q6. Do you sell bifocal and varifocal lenses?
 We supply single vision distance and Varifocal lenses. We do not normally supply Bifocal lenses, but may be able to by special order. Contact us if you require Bifocals before ordering.
 
Q7. Can I order frames with no prescription?
Yes. You can order any of our products without inserts and prescription lenses.

Your prescription

Q8. What if I am not sure what my prescription says?
Your optician is obliged to give you a clear, legible copy of your prescription to take away.
If the detail of your prescription is not legible, you can ask your optician to make it clearer for you. We can request your optician do this but you may need to give them permission first for them to communicate with us.
Alternatively, photograph or scan your prescription and email it to us at airsoft.optician@gmail.com and we will extract the relevant information.

Measuring Your Pupillary Distance

 

Measuring your own pupil distance ( PD ) is straightforward.

  • Face a friend ask them to place a ruler that is marked in millimeters across the bridge of your nose .
  • Measure from the inside edge of the Right Iris (the coloured part of your eye) to the outside edge of the Left Iris.
  • Record the measurement then repeat this action but from the inside edge of the Left Iris to the outside edge of the Right Iris.
  • If you have two different measurements, simply use the average of the two measurements.
  • If the measurements differ greatly repeat the measuring process.
  • Normal PD measurements tend to be between 56 and 72 mm
