Specscart is one of the fastest-growing eyewear startups in the UK. With three physical stores in Manchester and an e-commerce website, we bring 2000+ fashionable eyewear styles made in the UK at unbeatable prices and deliver them in a record-breaking time of 24 hours.
Like superheroes, our brand also has an inspiring origin. Okay, it didn’t involve any radioactive spider bites, but it“s a lot more relatable. Our founder, Sid, broke his eyeglasses just one day before his semester exams. Wandering through Manchester City Centre in search of a replacement, he encountered only overpriced or mediocre options. The glasses he fancied were locked behind high-security displays, priced steeply at over £150. After reluctantly paying a small fortune without the chance to properly try them on, the glasses arrived—too late for his exams. Hope was lost here, but direction and purpose were found.
Sid realised that eyewear, much like shoes, should come with options that cater to different needs and occasions without breaking the bank or compromising on quality. Driven by this idea, Sid envisioned a brand where selecting glasses would be as enjoyable and straightforward as choosing a pair of shoes for different occasions—hence our tagline, “A Frame for Every Game.“
This vision gave rise to Specscart: an award-winning startup, on a mission to revolutionise the eyewear industry by changing the way people perceive glasses, from being a tool of sight correction to a sustainably made fashion accessory, that is a true joy to wear.
OUR PROMISE
At Specscart, we make a commitment to never sell anything that we wouldn’t buy ourselves. This means you receive essential upgrades like anti-glare, anti-UV, anti-scratch, and impact-resistant coatings on all glasses at no extra charge. Plus, every order comes complete with a protective case, designer cleaning cloth, cleaning solution, and a screwdriver. To ensure your vision is at its best, Specscart offers free eye tests for everyone at all our retails stores.

I have bought from specscart several…
I have bought from specscart several times now, and I have to say, its great value, BUT as they get bigger the systems are not keeping pace.
On two recent orders there were errors, the first time they sent me specs which were long and I requested (clearly) short.... they rectified at no cost, good, bar the delay (not long mind)
On the last order I wanted a direct repeat of the previous order prescription wise, but with reaction lenses... sounds simple, doesn't it. unfortunately not so simple, lots of back and forth, different prices Vs what I could get them for if I entered the order myself on their website, being notified they were sending me frames to try on so they could measure my pupils etc as they did the previous time (which, be warned is not simple, 10+ photos later they were still not satisfied enough to make the lenses, maybe my cameraship mind !), when the frames were exactly the same (bar colour so not required obviously)...
I think whats going on here is this, for new customers its simple, for existing customers, its not so simple, you have to do all the same as a new customer would, fine if you have a revised prescription, but if you dont, then it needs to be simpler...a simple would you like the same prescription as X order box would solve this straight away...
I wholly understand the risk of error, I really do, but some thought needs to be given to ease of use for existing customers... it's very nearly put me off buying again, not quite, but if I had the same issue again, I would likely give up and go elsewhere.
So my advice to anyone is use these guys, they are good....BUT my advice to the company is before you spend fortunes on youtube ads (which are good ads), sort out the process for existing customers.

Hi Simon,
Thank you so much for taking the time to leave such a thoughtful and constructive review.
Firstly, we really do appreciate your continued custom and the trust you’ve placed in us over several orders. We’re genuinely grateful that, even after the issues you’ve experienced, you’ve still taken the time to recognise the value we offer and recommend us to others.
That said, we’re really sorry that your recent orders have not been as straightforward as they should have been. As we grow, it’s so important that our systems and processes grow with us, and your feedback is a very fair reminder of that.
We’ve recently invested a lot of time and work into improving our lens checkout and internal order systems, so it is disappointing to hear that the process still felt more complicated than it needed to be in your case. Your point about making repeat orders easier for existing customers is especially helpful, and it’s exactly the kind of feedback we need to look at carefully.
We completely understand what you mean about balancing accuracy with convenience. Getting the prescription and measurements right will always be important, but we also need to make sure loyal returning customers are not being asked to go through unnecessary steps if the details are already available.
Please be assured that your feedback has been taken on board and will be shared with the team as we continue improving the experience for existing customers.
Thank you again for supporting us as we grow. We know that your feedback has been provided to us from a place of care, and we don’t take that for granted. We will continue to work hard to deliver the very best to our valuable customers, and feedback such as yours is greatly appreciated.
Best wishes,
Team Specscart
Efficient, rapid, low cost, and fantastic quality
I've been using specscart for years, and have always been staggered by the value, quality, and incredibly high service. I've recommended them to everyone I know who needs new glasses - making eyecare efficient, rapid, and low cost, whilst not compromising on quality, means they're really giving overpriced high street opticians a run for their money!

Thank you for such a thoughtful review, and for supporting us over the years.
It means a great deal when customers not only come back to us, but also recommend us to people they know. From the beginning, our aim has been to make good eyewear more accessible without asking customers to compromise on care, quality or service.
Your continued trust is genuinely appreciated, and it is exactly the kind of support that keeps us pushing to do things better.
We look forward to serving you soon.

I really appreciate your honest feedback. We put a lot of thought into the way our home trial is presented, right down to the packaging and the little extras, so it is lovely to know those details stood out.
Of course, frames are very personal, and not every style will be the one. I’m grateful you gave us a try, and I hope we get the chance to help you find the right pair in the future.
We look forward to serving you soon.

I had new lens for the lovely frames I had for a fraction of what my high Street optician would charge. They said it would be cheaper to throw them away. I'm going to send my other pair now. Great communication with company throughout

Thank you for sharing this.
It is always a shame when perfectly good frames are written off too quickly, so I’m really pleased we were able to help you keep a pair you already loved and make them useful again. Reglazing is something we care a lot about, especially when it gives customers a more sensible and affordable option.
I also appreciate your kind words about the communication throughout. We will be more than happy to look after your other pair when you are ready.
We look forward to serving you soon.

It also means a lot that the packaging and extras were appreciated. We want the whole experience to feel considered, not just the glasses themselves.

Greenwashing
Greenwashing. Provided in a unrecyclable box with magnets in it, which then boasts about your sustainability?

Hi Anthony,
Thank you for sharing your feedback.
We’re sorry this gave that impression, as sustainability is something we genuinely care about. Our packaging is designed to be recyclable, and the magnetic closure is used to help keep the glasses properly protected while in transit.
That said, we completely understand your point, and we appreciate you raising it. We are always reviewing how we can improve our packaging further while still making sure orders arrive safely and in good condition.
We also continue to support sustainability in other ways, including accepting old frames from customers so they can be recycled rather than going to waste.
Thank you again for taking the time to share your thoughts.
Best Wishes,
Team Specscart
Prescription sunglasses 2 days before holiday delivered on time!! Amazing
Amazing! I was so impressed with how easy it was to order a pair of sunglasses. I ordered just a couple of days before a holiday and the sunglasses were delivered as promised. The sunglasses are lovely and the prescription is spot on. I love the sunglasses and it’s rare to say but this was fantastic service - very well done.

I’m very happy with the glasses that I ordered - the packaging is nice and comes with a generous bottle of lens cleaner. The process of ordering was very quick and easy. Delivery was incredibly fast. I think that I ordered them late Sunday or Monday night (for prescription lenses, too) and had them by Wednesday lunch-time. Would recommend.

A returning customer
A returning customer, I ordered my glasses expecting to receive them in time for my upcoming holiday. I then realised I had misread the timeframe as consecutive days when it was actually working days. My mistake entirely. However, I contacted customer service on the Saturday before my departure Wednesday afternoon and my goodness, did they pull out all the stops! Fantastic service from this amazingly efficient, reliable and friendly company. Every person who emailed me was understanding and helpful. Behind the scenes others worked hard to ensure my complicated prescription was dispensed to their usual exemplary standard and my glasses were delivered - total perfection in every way - hours before I left for my holiday. Thank you Specscart and to each and every one of you who made sure my glasses arrived in time. Outstanding service and faultless item. I will be back for more!

Thank you for such a generous review.
There are times when a customer really needs us to come together as a team, and it means a great deal to know we were able to do that for you before your holiday. With more complex prescriptions, speed can never come at the cost of accuracy, so I’m especially proud that the team managed to keep both the care and the quality exactly where they should be.
Your kind words will mean a lot to everyone involved, including those working behind the scenes.
Thank you again for trusting us, and I hope you have a wonderful holiday.

If Carling did spectacles! 😍😍
Absolutely fantastic ! Ordering process seamless, delivery as expected. What stood out was also the way in which the glasses were presented in the delivery box with the accessories and free gift! Thank you Specscart! The quality of the actual frames are second to none and by far the best online glasses I have never ordered and best service I could have asked for!

That opening certainly made me smile. Thank you for taking the time to leave such a brilliant review.
We believe receiving a new pair of glasses should feel like opening something special, so it is lovely to know the presentation, accessories and finishing touches stood out as much as the glasses themselves. Just as importantly, I'm delighted the whole experience, from ordering through to delivery, lived up to your expectations.
