PRESCRIPTION & MEASUREMENTS

We understand that figuring out what all those letters and numbers mean on your prescription can be confusing. Don’t hesitate just upload the image or email it to us at support@lumynkestel.com and our team of experts will take care of it for you.

For your convenience we have designed a few different ways for you to submit your prescription to us. You can either fill in the prescription directly into the “prescription box” found under the enter prescription button, or upload the picture or simply send us an email at support@LumynKestel.com

PD stands for Pupillary Distance, which is the distance in millimetres between the centers of your pupils of both eyes to get the most accurate and sharpest vision.

Your PD measurement may be written on your prescription by the eye doctor or your previous order. If you are unable to get it we suggest trying your local optometrist or optician. We will happily reimburse you up to $20 for the measurement. Simply take a picture of the receipt and send it to support@LumynKestel.com with your order number.


Please reach out to us through Chat, Email or DM and we would be happy to share a few different options.

Typically contact lens prescriptions have been converted from your original eyeglasses prescription since a contact lens sits directly on top of your eye verses glasses that sit away from your eye. So using it may cause blurry or uncomfortable vision. Always make sure you have the correct eyeglasses prescription before entering it in. 

RETURNS & EXCHANGES

Lumyn Kestell has a 30 day return/replacement policy on all our products if you are not happy with your eyewear for any reason, customer service is our utmost priority!

PD stands for Pupillary Distance, which is the distance in millimetres between the centres of your pupils of both eyes. 

Here is a quick tutorial on how to measure it yourself. 

You can also always visit your eye care professional and request for them to do it for you? Sometimes there is a service fee, we are glad to remburse up to $25 for this. Invoice is required for this.


FITTING

There are a couple of ways that ensure a good fit by looking in the mirror: 

1. Your glasses should be as close as possible to the centre of your pupils 

2. Your glasses should not be resting on your cheeks

3.  Your lenses should not go beyond the width of your face 

4. Your glasses should sit below your eyebrows

5. Your glasses should not slide down your nose.

We believe that the comfort that you feel wearing your glasses should be what dictates if your frame is fitting you correctly or not. 

Our team of experts have carefully curated a collection of metal frames that allows you to individually customize the fit and feel of the glasses.

Lumyn Kestell specializes in metal and mixed frames that are easily adjustable at the nose bridge and this would solve for majority of the above concerns. 

SUPPORT

Please follow the tips below from our eyewear experts:

Every pair of Lumyn Kestel glasses come with a protective hard case and our premium microfibre cloth. Regularly cleaning the lenses with this cloth and always keeping them in the case will keep your new glasses in the best condition. 

Please refrain from keeping the glasses face down on any surface (lenses touching the surface), as this will cause scratches on the lenses. Never keep your glasses in your pocket or bag without protection as other items may scratch your frame and lenses unknowingly.

Please clean your cloth on a monthly basis by simply washing it with luke warm water and hand soap or simply throw it in with your laundry.   

Last but not least, never wear your glasses on your head because they will stretch out and become loose. Finally, always wear your glasses on and off your face using both hands to prevent your glasses from becoming loose and lopsided. Follow these tips for a successful eyewear experience.


When trying a new pair of glasses, even if the prescription may or may not have changed you may experience some vision discomfort such as mild headaches, dizziness, floor and walls feeling wavy and staircase displacement. Don’t worry! These are all normal symptoms of adaptation which will go away with time.

To alleviate these potential symptoms, we recommend you to continuously wear your new pair of glasses without switching to your old pair. Another trick is to wear the new pair first thing in the morning as this will make it easier for your eyes to adapt. 

If these symptoms persist after a period of 10-15 days we recommend a revisit to your eye Doctor to see if any tweaks are required to your prescription. If so email support@lumynkestel.com with your updated prescription, order number and we will get back to you with next steps.
