This company is a joy to order from. They don't do add ones which pushes the prices up like other companies. Glasses are excellent quality l was kept informed in texts about my order and they arrived exactly as l was told they would. Highly recommend

What a gem of a business! Lovely and helpful staff and whilst waiting to get my glasses repaired I found a great pair for me, which was not expected! Thank you and I’ll see you in the New Year

I have ordered glasses 3 times and everything the frames broke. They are brittle and made from inferior quality materials. Avoid this company completely.

I waited for my prescription specs from my optician to arrive and took the glasses I purchased from you with me.
The glasses you have sent me are not what my prescription should be,they are twice as powerful as my pair from the optician,they tested the lens,and somehow they seem to have been a mix up,I filled in on line what the prescription said and also sent a copy of the prescription,the only way I can use the glasses is to hold the text around 6 to 12 inches away as the text becomes unreadable.

Very pleased with the service I received from Gary at the Shirley store.
I chose thinned varifocal reactolite lenses with a designer frame and saved around £100 on the price I had been given by Specsavers. Having worn them for a few days I am extremely happy with the all round vision.
A great range of frames and all lense costs are clearly displayed.
My friend had recommended Direct Specs and I am happy to do the same.

Very helpful staff and delighted with service received by Sarann at Wolverhampton branch today when I visited for advice regarding repair for long distance glasses. She went above and beyond to repair my glasses whilst I wait for a replacement to be ordered.
Have used Direct Specs for a number of years and would definitely recommend; Wide choice of frames, fast processing/notication of collection and excellent customer service.

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.

This is best place you could buy your specs . Best prices, the gentleman at the reception gives you the best service without any complaints. If you decide to use this place for your new specs ( I recommend you do ) and then you can find a better service the please let me know. YOU WONT BE DISAPPOINTED.
