Wiley X Australia offer Prescription Lens services for all their current models. We have access to specialty prescription labs based in Australia and the USA who can prepare and fit digital single vision and progressive lenses to our frames. Progressive prescription lenses can be accommodated in most frames depending on the prescription, except for RX inserts. Suitable frames are marked with the RX Ready icon (Prescription Ready) and noted in the product description.
Prescription Lens Orders currently take around 2-4 weeks to deliver, depending on prescription, lens design and shipping time frames.
Polycarbonate /Trivex Lenses
Wiley X prescription ranges only use Polycarbonate or Trivex materials to align with our safety standards. These lenses offer the best and most consistent impact protection.
We recommend Wiley X frames be filled with polycarbonate or trivex lenses as other materials such as CR-39 offer less impact protection.
Safety Certified Prescription Glasses
Wiley X Australia now offer prescription frame and lens packages that are safety certified to AS/NZS1337.6 standard. They are designed and built for versatility, providing job site protection with everyday wearability. Certified models can be found here:
RX Carriers
RX carriers can be fitted with prescription lenses to wear with the following WX models: VAPOR, ROGUE, SABER Advanced, PT-1, and SPEAR goggle.
RX carriers can be fitted with Single Vision lenses only. RX carriers are not suitable for Progressive lenses (or multi-focal lenses), as there is not enough depth in the lens to accommodate a progressive prescription.
We recommend Anti-fog coating with all RX carrier prescriptions as they are being worn behind the primary lens.
Digital Edge Thinning
Most Wiley X frames are suitable for our standard Digital lenses for prescriptions between -4.00 to +4.00 (Power range = SPH + CYL).
For prescriptions outside this range, we offer a DigiforceTM Edge Thinning lens to reduce the edge thickness of the lens.
Depending on the prescription and the preferred frame, we may be able accommodate prescriptions in a range of -7.00 to +5.00 using a DigiforceTM Edge Thinning lens.
Please contact us for more information on your specific prescription requirements.
Polarised & Tinted options
Prescription Lenses can be prepared in polarised or non-polarised lenses. We offer clear or tinted lenses in a range of colours.
Coatings
Anti-fog coating or Anti-reflective coating can be added if required, or we can add a mirror coating if preferred. Coatings are not available in lenses with Digital Edge Thinning.

RX Prescription: An RX prescription is what an Optometrist or Ophthalmologist provides to correct your vision by using eyewear with corrective lenses. Only an RX prescription written for glasses will work. An RX prescription for Contact Lenses is not an option. Wiley X recommends that our customers get an eye examination every two years, or more frequently if there are changes in your vision.
PD: Pupillary distance (PD) is the distance between your pupils. This is needed for the Prescription Lab to know where to place the optical centre on each lens in every prescription eyewear.
