Free home try-on glasses — Nerdy Frames collection

Free Home Try-On Glasses

Try them at home: try-on box delivered to you or use our virtual try-on, true to size.

Choose three to five frames and we’ll send them to your door for seven days — free to try, and free to ship both ways. Or start right now: try any frame on your own face. Each one is rendered to true scale, an honest picture of how it actually sits — the closest thing to wearing it short of holding it in your hands.

Try Glasses at Home Before You Buy

Pick 3 to 5 frames from the collection. We ship them to your home, free. You have 7 days to try the glasses on at home. A prepaid return label is included in the box.

When you find the pair you want, place your prescription order online. Single-vision lenses, anti-glare, and blue light filter are included. Return the try-on box using the prepaid label.

No charge to try. No charge for shipping either way. No commitment to buy.

Warby Parker ended their free home try-on program in August 2025. Ours is still running — 3 to 5 eyeglasses per box, 7 days to decide, free shipping both ways.

The home try-on started because of customer demand. Since we don’t have brick-and-mortar locations, our home try-on and virtual try-on are our go to’s. We’ve kept the business model the same because it keeps our quality high, the highest in the current online eyeglasses world. Our prices are lower than what you’ll see at your local optical boutique (or, really, your local LensCrafters or Pearle Vision).

To secure your own home try-on, a credit or debit card is required at checkout to verify a real person is placing the order, but you are not charged for the try-on itself. Prepaid cards are not accepted. If you don’t want to wait, our virtual try-on is real life sizing. It is the closest way to see the frames on your face short of trying it on in person.

Frequently Asked Questions
Free Home Try-On Program: How many frames can I order? +
With Nerdy Frames’ Free Home Try-On Program, you can order 3 to 5 pairs of eyeglasses to try on at home. We encourage you to order a Home Try-On box before placing your prescription order with us. Please review our FAQ for more details.
Why is a credit or debit card needed to place an order if the program is free? +
We require a credit or debit card to ensure that a real person is placing the order. This also helps us ensure that the try-on eyeglass frames are returned so they can be shipped to other clients. Like any retail business, we need to mitigate theft as best as we can. Prepaid debit/credit cards cannot be used to place an order in our Free Home Try-On Program.
How much do Nerdy Frames cost, and are they really luxury quality? +
Our frames start at $99, including single-vision prescription lenses and in-house anti-glare or blue light filter. Our frames are truly luxury quality — we use the same high-grade acetate and metals found in many boutique brands such as Salt, Dita Eyewear, and Alain Mikli, to name a few. We source our acetate from Japan and continually negotiate to keep your costs low.
Do you have a virtual try-on application on your website? +
Yes. We’ve built a virtual try-on that gives you a true-to-life view of how each frame sits on your face — the most accurate way to see a frame short of trying it on in person.
How much time do I get with the try-on frames? Can I order multiple boxes? +
You have 7 days to try on frames from one box at a time. Due to high demand for our Try-On Boxes, we allow only one box per order. We believe a week is the perfect amount of time to make your selection while ensuring others receive their Try-On Boxes in a timely manner.

Vision Insurance Information

How Insurance Reimbursement Works

Unfortunately, we don't have any direct partnerships with vision insurance providers, but we can assist you in getting a reimbursement for your purchase after you have paid in full at the time of purchase. In order to be reimbursed, you will first need to fill out a form from your insurance provider. After you fill out their reimbursement form, you will need to provide an itemized receipt, which we can provide you with once you have completed your purchase. We've provided some links below of popular vision insurance providers to help you get started.

Please contact your vision insurance for more information on how to file for a reimbursement.

If you have any question or you need an itemized receipt, please email us at [email protected]

FSA & HSA Payments

We accept both FSA and HSA payments, as long as they are in the form of a credit or debit card. After you have had completed a purchase with your FSA/HSA, you can then file for a reimbursement with your vision insurance provider.
