I plan on getting a monocle soon, but I will be having to buy one online. My question is how do I properly measure my eye to make sure I get a proper fit? I don't want a monocle that ends up being too big or small.
You could maybe use a mirror.
What tinter said, use a mirror and a ruler.
Make sure to buy a cigar and a top hat, too.

Most important step.

Also: Pocket watch.
And say "Goodday, chaps" everytime you see a group of your friends.
and clench the eye you put it on to keep it in place

sadly, i doubt my school would approve the use of a cigar during homecoming.
Measure your eye socket (you should be able to feel the bone)
You want your monocle slightly smaller than that, so you can fit it properly.
Don't forget a fake mustache and a tux.
ACT CLASSY. You cannot fuck up monocles. You don't want that on your conscience.
Wow what a fucking hipster
No one mentioned a pipe yet?

Buy many hats. MANY hats. You cannot have enough hats. The more hats, the more gentlemen there is for people to feast their eyes upon.

< Not OP.
Also, I already wear glasses...
GLASSES AND MONOCLE SMILE!

Actually it would look quite outstanding in my opinion.
It's hard to look stupid or like a douche if you're wearing clothing of such high class.
To be honest, people in top hats and monocles and the whole generic "gentleman" setup is incredibly unoriginal and unfunny.
