Prescription Policy

 


PRESCRIPTION POLICY Focalis Shop | focalisshop.com Last updated: March 2026


1. Overview

At Focalis Shop, we are committed to full transparency about the nature of our products. This Prescription Policy exists to inform our customers, regulatory bodies, and advertising platforms about how our eyewear is classified, how it should be used, and what it is — and is not — intended to do.

All products sold at Focalis Shop are non-prescription, over-the-counter (OTC) eyewear. No medical prescription, eye examination, or doctor's order is required to purchase, receive, or use any product available on this website.


2. Product Classification

Focalis Shop offers the following categories of non-prescription eyewear:

Multifocal & Reading Glasses (Progressive OTC Lenses) Our multifocal glasses use pre-calibrated progressive lenses designed for adults experiencing age-related near vision difficulty (presbyopia). These products are commonly available without a prescription at pharmacies, optical chains, and retail stores worldwide. They are manufactured for general adult use and are not custom-made to individual prescriptions.

Blue Light Blocking Glasses Our blue light glasses feature lenses that filter a portion of the high-energy visible (HEV) blue light emitted by screens and digital devices. These are lifestyle and comfort products. They do not correct refractive errors and do not require any prescription.

Photochromic Glasses Our photochromic lens products automatically darken when exposed to UV light and return to a clear state indoors. These are offered as non-prescription lenses and are not classified as medical devices.

Sunglasses All sunglasses sold on Focalis Shop are standard UV-protective sunglasses for everyday use. They are non-prescription unless explicitly stated otherwise in the product description.

2-in-1 Clip-On Glasses These are non-prescription frames with magnetic or clip-on sun lens attachments. No prescription is needed.

Kids' Blue Light Glasses Blue light blocking glasses for children are non-prescription lifestyle products intended to reduce eye strain during extended screen time.


3. No Prescription Required

None of the products on Focalis Shop require a prescription from an optometrist, ophthalmologist, or any licensed healthcare professional. Customers may purchase any item freely, at their own discretion, without submitting medical documentation.

This applies to all countries and regions where Focalis Shop ships, including but not limited to the United States, Canada, Australia, the United Kingdom, and the European Union, where non-prescription reading glasses and blue light glasses are legally sold over-the-counter without a medical prescription.


4. Lens Power (Diopter) Selection Guide

Our multifocal and reading glasses are available in a range of pre-set magnification strengths (diopters), typically from +1.00 to +3.50. To help customers select the most suitable strength without a formal prescription, we offer the following general age-based guidance:

Approximate Age Suggested Lens Strength
40–45 years +1.00 to +1.50
46–50 years +1.50 to +2.00
51–55 years +2.00 to +2.50
56–60 years +2.50 to +3.00
61+ years +3.00 to +3.50

These are general guidelines only. Individual needs may vary. When in doubt, we recommend starting with a lower strength and testing comfort.


5. Important Disclaimers

5.1 Not a Substitute for Professional Eye Care Focalis Shop products are not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any eye condition or medical disease. Our eyewear does not replace a comprehensive eye examination by a licensed vision care professional.

We strongly recommend that all customers — especially those experiencing sudden vision changes, eye pain, headaches, or significant vision impairment — consult a qualified optometrist or ophthalmologist before using any eyewear product.

5.2 Not a Medical Device Unless explicitly stated in an individual product listing, no products sold on Focalis Shop are classified as prescription medical devices under the regulations of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the European CE Medical Device Regulation (MDR), or equivalent regulatory authorities in other jurisdictions.

5.3 Individual Results May Vary Pre-set magnification eyewear is manufactured for general population use. Customer experiences and levels of comfort may vary depending on individual vision characteristics. Focalis Shop does not guarantee that any specific product will be suitable for every individual.

5.4 Not Suitable for Driving If Uncorrected Vision Is Required Customers who require prescription lenses for safe driving should not substitute our OTC eyewear as a replacement. Always comply with local laws regarding visual standards for driving.


6. Age Requirements

Our multifocal and reading glasses are designed primarily for adults aged 40 and above who are experiencing early to moderate presbyopia. Blue light blocking glasses and sunglasses are available for all ages, including children's models specifically designed for younger users.

Focalis Shop does not sell prescription eyewear of any kind, and no product on our website is restricted by age for purchase purposes.
