How ordering and fitting work
You choose a model, magnification and frame online and pay by card, Affirm or Klarna. After checkout you send your pupillary distance, your working distance and, if needed, your prescription. We review them with you before production, which usually takes 1–2 weeks.
- Measuring guide: Measurements.
Return policy
Non-prescription pairs can be returned within 30 days of delivery for a full refund. Prescription pairs can be cancelled for a full refund before production starts; after that, we cover defects and fit corrections.
- Full policy: Returns.
How HeliosX replaces the in-person fitting
Representative-sold brands fit you at a demonstration and build the price of that visit into the loupe. HeliosX does the same job without the markup: you measure in your own working posture, and we review every measurement before your pair is built.
