Prison Glasses: Frequently Asked Questions

What are prison glasses?

Prison glasses are durable, practical eyeglasses designed with correctional environments in mind, typically featuring simple full-rim, non-metal, or screwless construction. As requirements may vary by facility, we recommend confirming any institution-specific guidelines before ordering to ensure the best fit.

Can you send prescription glasses to an inmate?

Some facilities accept prescription eyewear from an outside vendor, while others require an internal medical process or prior authorization. Confirm the facility’s current property, medical and mailroom instructions before ordering.

Can prison glasses use progressive, bifocal or prism lenses?

Some EYEisland frames support progressive, bifocal or prism prescriptions, but the receiving facility may apply separate lens restrictions. Confirm both product compatibility and facility policy before selecting custom lenses.

What information is needed to ship glasses to an inmate?

The package may need the inmate’s legal name, identification number, facility address and a specific department such as Medical or Property. Requirements vary, so copy the delivery instructions exactly as provided by the facility.

Are metal-free glasses always required?

Most correctional facilities require metal-free frames, making fully non-metal, screwless styles the preferred choice. For added confidence, you may confirm any specific color or design requirements with the facility before ordering.

What if the facility rejects the package?

Contact the facility before ordering to confirm its eyewear and delivery requirements. If direct vendor shipments are not accepted, the glasses can be delivered to a family address instead. Ask the facility whether it offers an approved property drop-off or visitor hand-delivery process before bringing the glasses to a visit.

Once the facility’s requirements are confirmed, choose a compatible frame and enter the delivery information exactly as provided.
