Phil and Kerry are an absolute credit to the company. They went over and above to fit lenses which help me to undertake VDU work. As an NHS employee they supported me to be able to work more effectively without the eye strain that I had become accustomed to. Fantastic approach to customer service. I am a long term customer and have no hesitation in recommending them.

Hi Tal, thank you for your kind review of our Halesowen branch.
A great place to get your glasses
The so-called bargain online retailers are never quite what they seem - you simply cannot get lightweight varifocals cheap and many of them wont do certain prescriptions online so I have to visit a store. Probably a better option you can get to see the frames and feel how they fit and how much they weigh! This Direct Specs store is just outside the main shops in Blackheath, it's never too busy and has parking spaces and a good selection of frames. It worked out cheaper than Specsavers and I'm delighted with my new glasses. Will definitely use them again.
