How do I know which size frame to get?

Back 

Take the Oxy-View specification sheet to your eye care professional. Ask him or her to help you select the size that best suits your face and accommodates your lens prescription.

Where can I fill my prescription?

Back 

Most eye care specialists are happy to fit your prescription lenses for you.

 

Are the styles available in different sizes?

Back 

No. The sizes are currently tied to the styles. This means that each style listed is only available in that particular size.

 

Are plastic frames available?

Back 

No. The available frames are manufactured using metal tubing.

 

How much do the frames weigh?

Back 

The Oxy-View frames weigh approximately 1 ounce without lenses installed. Weight will vary with your prescription lens.

 

How often should I replace the oxygen tubing and nasal prongs for the Oxy-View frames?

Back 

Oxy-View recommends that your tubing be replaced every 30-60 days and the nasal prongs be replaced every 14-28 days. However, comfort is best determined by the user. You should replace the nasal prongs and tubing when you feel they are uncomfortable, turn yellow, become brittle, and/or develop a foul order.

 

What is the maximum oxygen flow rate when using the Oxy-View frames?

Back 

The maximum flow rate is 5 liters per minute when used with single lumen tubing. When using double lumen tubing, as with the Helio's liquid portable system, the maximum flow rate is 3 liters per minute.

 

Is the double lumen tubing for the Helios and similar devices available from Oxy-View?

Back 

Yes. Double and single lumen tubing is available from Oxy-View. Double Lumen Tubing order number is OVDT-3-4 (four foot length). Single Lumen Tubing order number is OVT-3 (eight foot length).

 

Will Medicare or my insurance company cover the cost of the frames?

Back 

Medicare will not pay for the frames. Some individual vision plans may cover the cost of the frames and/or the lenses. For particular benefits, please contact your insurance carrier.

 

Should I have my oxygen saturation levels checked while using the Oxy-View frames?

Back 

Yes. Anytime you change oxygen delivery devices it is recommended that your levels be checked under conditions of rest and activity to ensure that you maintain adequate oxygen saturations. This order will need to come from your doctor.

 

Can I return the glasses if I don’t like them?

Back 

If purchased directly from Oxy-View, you have thirty days to exchange the Oxy-View frames for color or style. The frames may also be returned within this period for a full refund excluding shipping. Note: Oxy-View will not refund the price paid for lenses you purchase from your eye care professional.

Are the Oxy-View frames FDA approved?
