E Try-on™ Guide
E Try-on™ is software we have developed for the web site
that allows you to upload your own portrait photo and virtually
try-on
glasses by a simple
mouse click. All you need is a digital portrait photo. Our state of the art software will
accurately size the glasses to your face so that you can visually
see the image of yourself wearing the glasses as if you are
trying on glasses in front of a mirror. It overcomes the problem
with trying on glasses in an optical shop in front of a mirror
where the
glasses are
not fitted with prescription lenses which makes it difficult
to see the actual image of yourself in the mirror.
Software Required.
You will need Internet Explorer 6.0 or later,
or
Firefox
2.0. Please enable JavaScript in Firefox or enable Active Scripting in Internet Explorer. You will also need Adobe Flash 9 or above. Please
visit
www.adobe.com
web site to download the flash player if you dont have it.
Use the correct photo is the key for
E Try-on™. The photo should be a passport style photo
taken straight on eye level showing your full face and
head with your eyes looking directly at the camera, without
glasses. The photo should not show you looking over one
shoulder or with head tilted.
Dont have a passport photo? You can use a normal photo with the
face occupying a large proportion of the photo.

compress the file.

The width and height should be at least 500 pixels but no more
than 2800 pixels. The file size should not be more than 600KB.
Upload a Portrait Photo
To
upload a
photo, Click on the "Try On My Photo" button above the model on the
E Try-on™ page or click on the Portrait Photo link on the E Try-on™
drop down menu on the top navigation bar. You will need
to create an account to store your portrait photo and PD in
order to utilize our E Try-on™ Facility. Please follow
the prompt to upload a photo and you will then be brought to
Adjust Face Photo page to configure your portrait photo.
Adjust Face Photo
Adjust
Face Photo will allow you to configure your face photo to
get ready for E Try-on™. Please follow the 3 steps
on the page to adjust the face photo.
It's important that the PD has to be entered before you start
adjusting the photo. Then click, drag and drop the white circles labeled R.E. and L.E. onto the pupils of your eyes.
To start it over, click on the "Restart"
button. If you have changed your PD since you
last time adjusted your face photo , you will need to
reconfigure
your face photo before trying-on glasses again.
The adjusted photo should look somehow different from the original
photo. The adjusted photo should be centered. In most cases
it should be the magnified image of the original. If you need
help in adjusting your face photo, please
contact
us with your login email address. Our staff memeber will
be able to adjust your photo and upload it for you.
PD is the distance between the centre of two
pupils when your eyes are looking at a distance object in the
front that are 60 centimetres away or beyond. It is measured
in millimetres (mm). PD measurement is the important information
we need in order to scale the glasses to your face during E
Try-on™. PD is also used for cutting the lenses if
you decide to fit prescription lenses with your glasses. Please
make sure to enter a correct PD.
The average PD is 60mm for women and 64mm for
men.
If there is no Pd value in your prescription, please remember
to ask your optometrist to measure the PD for you next time
when you visit the optometrist. Meanwhile you can have your
PD measured with a ruler and the help of a friend by following
this instruction:
