Online shopping has revolutionized the way we shop, with advances in technology, trying on glasses online has become increasingly popular and successful. In this blog post, we'll explore how trying on glasses online can lead to successful sales, and provide tips for how to effectively offer this service on your website.
How to Virtually Try On Glasses Online?
Consumers are now less likely to head to a traditional brick-and-mortar store to try out products, regardless of whether they’re beauty items, clothing, or even glasses. So, what does a consumer do if they can’t head to a store to purchase a product, but still wants to try on glasses at home in order to make a more confident purchase decision? We have an answer for you.
The cutting-edge AR and AI technology allows virtual try on for consumers at home when they're looking for a new pair of eyeglasses. While searching for a new pair, the customers are able to easily try on glasses online, and then purchase with a simple click of a button.
Step 1: Enable Your Camera
Go to virtual try on web page and enable the camera device on your computer or cellphone. Then the system will automatically detect your pupillary distance (PD, means the distance between your pupils).
Step 2: Virtually Try On Different Styles of Eyeglasses
In 2 seconds, you'll be able to try on different virtual glasses including sunglasses, sports glasses, and more.
During the try ons session, the customers are also able to:
- Adjust the depth of eyeglasses frames
- Choosing the sizes of eyeglasses frames
- Trying on different tints of lens
- Changing different frame colors
- Adjusting frame positions
Why Brands Use Virtual Try On Technology
Despite online shopping being a part of our daily lives, physical stores are still at an advantage with customers. In physical stores, customers can try on & interact with products before buying them. Virtual try on technology aims to overcome that obstacle by offering an in-store experience from the comfort of the couch.
Virtual try on technology is easily accessible and highly user-friendly, and it's also a great way for your brand to get to know your customers better by collecting the try-on data. Through the data, you'll know which glasses type is more popular, which needs to modify and offer better customer service online and offline.
The idea of trying on glasses digitally isn’t necessarily new, but the method of how the virtual try on experience is created certainly is.

Major Benefits of Virtual Try On for Glasses
1. Easily & Accurately Try On Tons of Styles
To add to the consumer virtual try on eyewear experience, we’ve utilized the first-ever AI-powered Automated Pupillary Distance Detection technology. This technology can instantly measure the pupillary distance from the center of one pupil to the center of the other pupil, helping to achieve a more precise try-on experience.
Unlike most virtual try on for glasses technologies, which require this distance to be manually inputted, our Pupillary Distance tech automatically detects the consumer’s pupillary distance measurement for them. There is no other technology that can ensure the most accurate and consistent virtual try on for eyeglasses experience as Perfect Corp.’s Pupillary Distance technology.
Thanks to the advanced glasses virtual try on experience created by the latest augmented reality technology, consumers no longer need to worry about whether a pair of shades or glasses will be a good fit for their face—their accurate, virtual try on experience with Perfect Corp. will show them whether a pair of glasses or sunglasses are too wide, too narrow, the wrong color, or just not a great fit for their face shape.
2. Easily Accessable Anytime, Anywhere
Traditionally, customers would head to a store and try out many pairs of eyeglasses, one by one, to see which option best suits them. But virtual try on technology takes the guesswork out of the stressful experience of trying to decide which eyewear piece is right for you.
Consumers no longer need to look up “which sunglasses suit my face shape” online, or drag a friend to the eyewear store to help them figure out which spectacles look the least nerdy—all you need to do is turn on your camera, swipe through the multiple options, and decide for yourself which pair are the perfect fit.
3. Covering a Wide Range of Customer's Needs: Sport, Prescription, Thrifty and More

Perfect Corp. makes it simple for you to allow your customers to try on as many pairs of glasses or sunglasses as they want, quickly, effectively, and safely.
Sport
If a customer's looking for sporty glasses, they're more likely to look for curved eyeglasses frames to perfectly fit their faces while exercising. The ability to adjust frame sizes will be a perfect virtual try on feature for targeting these customers.
Fashion Styles
If a customer just wants a few extra pairs for styling, they might want to try on different colors of tints to see which one suits them the best. In this case, easily and smoothly trying on different virtual glasses is a must for them to enjoy the virtual try on for glasses.

Or, some customers only want to look for cheap alternatives for their current eyeglasses. Then, it is highly important to display the price along with the virtual eyeglasses they're trying on.
