| What
information do I need to order glasses?
Your prescription, which your Optician
must provide you with by law after your
eye test. All you have to do is copy the
prescription into the correct box when
ordering. When ordering distance or reading
lenses we recommend you fill in all the
prescription details.
How can I obtain
my prescription if I do not have it?
Go to the Optician how tested your eyes
and ask for a copy, this they must provide
you with, as long as it is not over 2
years old.
What does PD
mean?
Pupil distance. It is the measurement
between the centre of one pupil to the
other pupil. If your Optician has not
supplied this information, we will set
your lenses at 62mm for distance lenses
and 58mm for reading.
Are the frames
and lenses you sell the same quality as
my Optician would provide?
Yes. All our frames have flex
arms for greater durability and our lenses
are made of CR39 plastic which are light.
Can my prescription
glasses be made into sunglasses?
Yes When ordering your glasses
you will be offered the opportunity to
select various tints and coating options.
How long will
my order take to be delivered?
We always state 28 days but you should
receive our glasses within 7 working days
Can I order
bifocal or Varifocal lenses?
We only offer the
service of reglazing your old frames with
varifocal or bifocal lenses if you have
theses lenses already fitted in your frames.
We can provide this service only because
we can glaze the new lenses into your
old frames by using your old lens setting.
My
prescription is outside the ranges shown
on the Prescription Details Form. Can
I still order?
For technical reasons, we can only supply
single vision prescription spectacles
with lenses of a spherical power between
+8.00 and - 8.00
and a cylindrical power between +4.00
and -4.00 Any lens with combined power
(sph and cyl) above – or + 8.00
is a complex lens and will incur added
charges. Please contact for details.
