Wouldn't go anywhere else
Great experience, very pleased with my new specs-fraction of the price I would have paid in the shop. They arrived within a week, easy to track.

Love the range of glasses
Love the range of glasses, they come and fit perfect, they can be a bit flimsy but you get what you pay for at the end of the day. Nevertheless the glasses are nice and they come really quick!

Perfect!
Bought two pairs on the BOGOF offer.
Both are perfect!
Ordering prescription glasses online was nerve wracking but the fact you get free returns made me feel better as you can return even if you get the prescription wrong!
Made and delivered so quickly aswell!
Would definitely recommend

Great Place
I always love ordering from here, my glasses usually come clean and ready to wear in about a week or two. Biggest complaint is that I re-ordered glasses I had before and they're a bit tighter this time for some reason but hopefully it's just something that'll sort itself the more I wear them.

Excellent producta & prices

Fairly simple service
Fairly simple service, they did charge me extra after I had placed the order and it took a bit longer than expected, but the glasses seem to be good quality and the trail service was great.

6th pair of varifocals now with glasses:)
It takes me a long time to choose my glasses as I love colours and something a little different, this is my 6th pair of varifocals now with glasses direct and I’m so happy with them. Once chosen the ordering process is very straightforward, delivery time is good too but best of all two pairs of lovely glasses, script correct and quality is great, very happy 😃
