Are your frames nickel-free?
The metal used in our frames is not 100% nickel-free. Our metal frames are plated at a factory that works with different types of metals, and it is possible that our frames may come into contact with different metals during the manufacturing process. While our all-acetate styles are made with a plant-based cellulose acetate that is hypoallergenic, please note that the hinges are made with stainless steel and can contain traces of nickel.
I'm not sure which style will look best on me. Can you help?
Absolutely! Use our frame finder quiz to find your perfect fit. You can also email a selfie to hello@shopcovry.com, and our style consultant will recommend the best shapes for your face shape.

What can I return?
We offer a hassle-free, fourteen (14) day return policy on all items, excluding prescription eyewear. We cannot accept returns on orders with prescription lenses or any items marked as final sale. To be sure the style is right for you, we recommend our Home Try-On Program.
My frames look slightly different from the picture. Why?
Slight pattern and color variations are the inherent characteristics of the premium acetate used in all our frames, making each piece truly one-of-a-kind.
Are the frames covered by a warranty?
Frames are protected by a one year warranty from original purchase date. Warranty covers manufacturer defects in materials and workmanship only. Lens scratches, misuse or abuse are not covered by this warranty. Proof of purchase required. For extra purchase protection, we recommend adding Extend Protection Plans to your order.
How can I care for my frames?
To keep your frames looking their best, we recommend following these care instructions.
How does your home try-on program work?
Our home try-on program allows you to try on 5 of your favorite frames for 5 days for $10. Once you place the order, you’ll receive a box with your 5 selected frames, a packing slip and a prepaid return label. Please note that we send sample frames for the home try-on kit. When you place an order for the actual frames, you will receive a brand new pair.
Once you’ve tried on the frames, you can order your favorite(s) online with or without prescription.
The 5 days begin the day you receive your box. Once your 5 days are up, simply put the frames and the black case back inside the shipping box and place the return label on the outside of the box. Drop off at your local USPS post office during their standard business days (Monday through Saturday). If your 5th day happens to fall on a holiday, simply return it the next business day.
Get your home try-on kit started here.
How do I order my home try-on?
Select “Add to Home Try-On” for the five frames you want to try on. Once you’ve added 5 available frames to your home try-on kit, select “Checkout” and follow the instructions to complete your order.
Can I add sunglasses to my home try-on kit?
Our home try-on program is only available for specs styles at this time.
Is there a fee to use the home try-on program?
There is a $10 fee to use the home try on program, which will be credited towards your frame order within 60 days of your try-on. The $10 credit is applied as a refund to your next frame order placed within 60 days of your home try-on.
If a purchase is not made within 60 days, the $10 fee will not be refunded. If you order home try-ons multiple times, please note that credit can be applied only once per order.
Please note that if the frames and/or black case are returned late or are returned in damaged condition, we will charge the full retail value to the card on file. Each frame will be charged at the price of the frame without prescription lenses, and the black case will be charged at $40. To avoid this charge, treat your kit with care and postmark the Home Try-On kit by the 5th business day after delivery.
I placed an order after my home try-on, but I don't see the $10 credit. How do I apply the credit?
To apply the $10 credit to your frame purchase, simply place an order within 60 days of your home try-on. Once you've placed your order, email us at hello@shopcovry.com with your new Order Number, and we'll process a refund for the amount of $10. Original shipping charges are non-refundable.
Please note that your home try-on order and frame order must be placed under the same account information.
The frames I want to add to my try-on kit are unavailable. What should I do?
Some frames might be unavailable for home try-on due to low stock. If you check back at a later time, it's possible that the style could be available for home try-on. We suggest trying on a different color in the same style if the exact frames you want are unavailable for home try-on.
If a style goes out of stock during order processing, we will replace it with a different color in your kit in the same style.
Can I order without trying on?
Absolutely! Simply add your selected frame(s) to your cart and follow the instructions to checkout. We offer a hassle-free, 14-day return policy on non-prescription frames. Please note that we do not accept returns once a prescription has been put into the frame.
I live outside the U.S. Can I still use the home try-on program?
At this time, we only offer the home try-on service within the U.S. If you placed an international order for home try-ons, your order will be cancelled and refunded.
Home try-on orders are not available for APO, FPO, or DPO shipping addresses.

Do I need 1.67 High Index lenses?
High index lenses are highly recommended for prescriptions stronger than ±4.00 sphere. These lenses are thinner and lighter to accommodate a stronger prescription without adding thickness to your frames. High index lenses are available for an additional $35 per frame.
Please keep in mind that once a prescription is filled, we do not accept returns.
Do you offer blue light blocking lenses?
Yes, we offer blue light blocking lenses on specs with or without prescription. The cost to add blue light blocking lenses is $40 per frame.

I have a very strong prescription. Can you fill my prescription?
We offer a standard sphere power range of +/-8 and cylinder power range of +/-3. For stronger prescriptions out of this range, there is an additional $40 charge per frame for eligible prescriptions, which will be charged separately upon receiving your order.
Can I order multiple pairs of glasses with different prescriptions?
If you are interested in ordering multiple pairs with more than one prescription, please place a separate order for each prescription.
I just received my new prescription glasses, but it feels like something is wrong.
It typically takes some time for our eyes to adjust to new lenses, especially lenses with a new prescription. The adjustment period can take up to 1-2 weeks.
We recommend wearing the frames for three days straight to allow your eyes to adjust to the new lenses. If they are still uncomfortable, we also recommend visiting your local optician, as it could be that your prescription needs to be slightly adjusted.
If you’re new to progressive lenses, it can take some time to learn how to use them. Get all the details here.
If the level of comfort still hasn’t improved after wearing them for a few days, please let us know so that we can help determine the issue and make sure your glasses fit just right!
Do you accept insurance?
We can accept insurance in the form of a Flexible Spending Account (FSA) or Health Spending Account (HSA). You may pay with FSA or HSA as long as they are linked to a major credit card.
Alternatively, we can provide you with an itemized receipt to submit to your insurance for reimbursement.
What can I order with my FSA/HSA?
Your FSA or HSA card can be used on all prescription eyewear purchases. You may not purchase non-prescription sunglasses and glasses with plano lenses (non-prescription lenses) using an FSA or HSA.
I'm not sure if I have an HSA or FSA.
Please check with your insurance company or employer.
