Prescription Information

All Rx Stoggles are made at our US-based licensed lab facility. If you don't see your prescription powers as an option on our website, we cannot fill it.

If our lab cannot make your prescription after you order, we'll immediately issue a full refund.

No. Contact lens prescriptions and eyeglass prescriptions are different. We require an eyeglass prescription to fulfill your order.

No. Your prescription must be current (not expired). We recommend getting an eye exam every 2 years.

OD: Right eye
OS: Left eye
Sphere (SPH): Lens strength needed. (+) for close-up help, (-) for distance help
Cylinder (CYL): Astigmatism correction
ADD: For progressive lenses (distance + reading help)

"Sphere" means you don't need astigmatism correction. Leave the cylinder section blank when ordering.

It's a placeholder for zero, meaning you don't have distance or reading problems for that measurement.

Pupillary Distance (PD) measures the distance between the centers of your pupils. This determines where you look through your lenses and should be as accurate as possible.

Your eye doctor typically measures your PD during an exam.

Distance glasses: Use your "Far PD"
Reading glasses only: Use your "Near PD"

For most people, the difference is 2-3mm.

Download a free app like EyeMeasure (iOS 12.0 or later) for instant results.

Segment Height (SH) is the vertical measurement from the bottom of the lens to the beginning of progressive addition or the top line of a bifocal.

  • Only applies to progressive or bifocal lenses (not single vision)
  • Specific to each frame and wearer

Yes! Add your prism details in the "Special Instructions for Seller" section when ordering, and our team will add it to your order.

Before it ships: No, all Rx orders are processed immediately.

After delivery: Yes! Within 30 days of receiving your order, you can exchange for updated prescription lenses at no cost. Contact hello@stoggles.com.

No, all prescription orders are processed immediately after submission.

Adjusting to new glasses can take up to a week, or up to a month for significant prescription changes.

If you're having ongoing issues, contact hello@stoggles.com within 30 days of delivery.

Product Information

Stoggles are ANSI Z87.1-2020 certified safety glasses that look and feel like regular glasses. They're worn by healthcare workers, lab professionals, construction workers, and many others who need protection without sacrificing style.

With Stoggles, you don't compromise—you get both safety AND style!

Because "Stylish Goggles" is way less fun! Stoggles are a new type of safety eyewear that doesn't compromise on protection, functionality, or style.

During the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, our co-founders saw a need for comfortable, stylish PPE eyewear in healthcare and beyond. Today, Stoggles are worn by scientists, construction workers, cyclists, home cooks, and thousands of other use cases we never imagined!

Yes! All Stoggles are ANSI Z87.1-2020 certified for impact resistance. They meet safety standards accepted across numerous industries.

Each industry has specific PPE requirements, so check with your employer to confirm the protection level you need.

Every pair of Stoggles is ANSI Z87.1-2020 certified, which means they've passed coverage and impact testing.

Protection Features:

  • Impact-resistant polycarbonate frames and lenses (won't break or shatter)
  • Integrated top and side shields for 360° protection
  • UV light protection
  • Blue light blocking
  • Superior anti-fog coating

Stoggles are Z87-rated, which is the standard used by most American workplaces that mandate safety eyewear. They provide excellent protection from debris, particles, and foreign objects.

Check with your employer to confirm Z87 meets your workplace requirements.

Stoggles lenses are made of polycarbonate—a lightweight, impact-resistant, crystal-clear plastic.

Yes! Through extensive testing, our proprietary anti-fog technology outperforms the competition.

How It Works:
Unlike competitors who spray on their coating, Stoggles lenses are dipped and UV-cured for superior performance.

How Long It Lasts:

  • With minimal water/chemical cleaning: Up to 2 years
  • With daily IPA cleaning: About 6 months

See the Lens Care section for tips to maximize anti-fog performance.

What is Blue Light?
Blue light is the highest-energy light on the visible spectrum. Some exposure is natural and healthy, but excessive amounts from phones, screens, and fluorescent lights can cause eye strain, fatigue, and disrupt sleep patterns.

Stoggles Blue Light Protection:

  • Block over 60% of highest-energy blue light (380-420nm wavelengths)
  • Block about 25% of all blue light (380-500nm)
  • Block 99.9% of UV rays (below 400nm)
  • No noticeable yellow tint or blue reflections

Is this rhetorical? Yes!

Stoggles are crafted from ultra-lightweight polycarbonate with a streamlined design. The top and side shields provide extreme comfort AND protection simultaneously.

Unlike bulky safety goggles that feel hot and tight, Stoggles wear as easily as your favorite sunglasses. Even better? You look as good as you feel.

All day, every day! Stoggles are so comfortable you'll forget you're wearing them.

Plus, all Stoggles offer blue light blocking, making them perfect for:

  • Computer work
  • Watching TV
  • Using smartphones
  • Any screen time

We offer 3 sizes in our square shape:

  • Kids: Fits ages 7-14 (also fits adults with very small heads)
  • Medium: Fits most adult heads
  • Wide Fit: Best for wider heads or an oversized look. Extra flexible temples ensure comfort on all face sizes.

Yes, but adjust carefully to prevent breaking the frame. Visit our support page to learn how to safely adjust your frames.

Low Bridge Fit frames are designed for those with:

  • Low nose bridges (bridge sits level with or below pupils)
  • Wide faces
  • High cheekbones

Every pair includes a protective microfiber pouch (which also doubles as a cleaning cloth).

For extra protection, we recommend our folding case (sold separately)—perfect for keeping in your car or on a lanyard.

Best Practice for Maximum Anti-Fog Life:

Our anti-fog coating is UV-cured onto both sides of the lens and should last up to 6 months with proper care.

Daily Cleaning:

  1. Use only the included dry microfiber cloth/pouch
  2. Gently remove oil, fingerprints, and dirt
  3. Keep lenses clean—fog forms around fingerprints!

What Reduces Anti-Fog Life:

  • Water: ~60 washes before coating wears away
  • Alcohol/chemical cleaners: 5-10 cleanings before coating wears away

If You Must Sanitize:

  1. Sanitize only the front if possible (back coating is what prevents fog)
  2. Use anti-fog drops/wipes for temporary coating (lasts ~6 hours)
  3. Best option: Use a UV sanitizer—kills germs without damaging coating
