Julbo RX FAQ

Learn more about Julbo RX sunglasses

How long does Julbo Rx processing take?

Once your prescription order is submitted, the typical turnaround time is about 5–8 weeks. This timeframe includes production at the lab in France, international shipping to the U.S., and final quality inspection before shipment. After the order reaches the U.S. warehouse, it is shipped to you via FedEx with 3-day delivery. You’ll receive tracking information once your order ships from our warehouse.

Can prescription orders be expedited?

Prescription orders from the Julbo RX Lab cannot be expedited beyond the standard process. Because these are custom-made lenses produced in France, the timeline is driven by lab fabrication and international shipping; the only expedited portion is the included 3-day FedEx delivery after the product arrives in the U.S. warehouse.

Can I cancel or edit my prescription order after placing it?

No. Once a prescription order has been submitted, it enters our production queue and cannot be edited, modified, or canceled. We strongly recommend carefully reviewing your prescription values, frame selection, and lens choice before submitting your order.

What prescription ranges can Julbo Rx accommodate?

JulboRx supports a wide range of prescriptions. That said, not every prescription will work in every frame or lens design. Eligibility depends on factors like your prescription values, monocular PD, lens choice, and frame geometry. If something isn’t compatible, our team will reach out to help guide you to the best option.

I own a pair of Julbos. Can I purchase a set of Julbo RX Lab Prescription lenses for them?

All Julbo Rx lenses must be fitted into a new frame at our Lab in Jura, France and thus, we do not sell spare prescription lenses to put into a preexisting pair of Julbos. A big part of the process is ensuring a precise fit of the lens into the frame. However, there is no cost associated with the new frame!

Can I try on Julbo Rx frames before placing my order?

We understand that trying on frames before purchasing can be important, and we apologize for any inconvenience this change may cause. We recommend visiting a local dealer using our store locator here: https://julbo.us/pages/store-locator. If you have a nearby REI, they typically carry the widest selection of frames to try on in person.

If visiting a dealer isn’t an option, you are welcome to place an order directly through our website and process our return. You can find our non-Rx return policy linked here


Additionally, you can email our customer service team at info@julbousa.com to  let us know what activities you participate in, along with any frames or lenses you’re considering, our customer service team would be happy to help narrow down the best options for your needs.

Why are some frames unavailable for my prescription?

Some frames, particularly highly curved or shield-style designs, have optical limitations that may not support certain prescriptions. These restrictions help ensure proper vision, comfort, and performance.
