Yes, Julbo creates unifocal (single-vision) as well as progressive prescription lenses. Please note, if you plan to order a progressive lens, you will need to start with a frame trial. Progressive lenses require the "fitting height" to be measured in relation to the frame you will ultimately be ordering. This is a great chance to compare and contrast frames before ordering. 

Monocular pupillary distance measures from the midline of your face, out to each pupil. This is a per-eye measurement, so there will be a right and a left eye value. Please note, this is different from the pupillary distance (PD), which measures from pupil to pupil. MPD is not necessarily the PD cut in half. The MPD helps account for asymmetries.

No, we cannot craft prescription lenses using an expired prescription. There are laws and regulations in place that prevent this. However, it is for your best interest! Using the most current prescription will ensure you get the best experience from your new prescription sunglasses. We know, your prescription may have not changed in 20 years, but eye exams are important to check the overall health of your eye. If your prescription does not have a written expiration date, it will be assumed to expire 1 year after exam date. 

No! PD (pupillary distance) measures the distance between your pupils. MPD (monocular pupillary distance) measures the distance from each pupil to the midline of the face. MPD helps account for any asymmetries. It is possible your MPD will be equal to your PD divided in two, but more often than not your right and left MPD values will be different. 

We’re here to help! Prescriptions are generally written as a grid- the top row for your right eye, and the bottom row for your left eye. You may see this abbreviated to R or OD (oculus dexter) for the right eye, and L or OS (oculus sinister) for the left eye.

Your prescription will have three or four columns. First column is SPH, or sphere. This indicates the strength of your prescription lens. If this column contains plano, PL, 0, or is blank, then there is no applicable value. You will see a “0” on our order confirmation. The second column is CYL, or cylinder, which indicates the power needed to correct your astigmatism (if applicable). If you see a DS, SPH, or 0 in this column, then there is no applicable value, and you will see a “0” on our order confirmation. The third column is axis (AXS), which indicates the angle your astigmatism is present at. If you do not have an astigmatism and the CYL column is blank or 0, you will not have an axis value for your prescription. The fourth column is the “ADD” column, which represents the magnification power if you have a multifocal prescription. If you order a single vision lens, we will omit the ADD value.
