Ordered early Jan

Ordered early Jan, only received 5th March, took numerous emails and a call chasing the order. The first emails always answered promptly, but only with generic please be patient we will investigate type responses, then nothing, I would contact again, then same again and repeat. Finally an apology, frames requested are out of stock, choose another frame. Eventually glasses arrive 2 months after original order. They are functional but not what was originally requested. Would I purchase here again. NO

Dear customer, we do apologise for the delays, occasionally things go wrong with so many moving parts, IT, our suppliers & making fully bespoke products.
However, the lenses & the frame are as you ordered, but the frame is a different colour in black, as approved by you in your email reply.
However, as this was your second order from us, which you kindly awarded us a 5 star review for on that occasion, I hope you can accept this was a rare & unusual delay, we will be happy to discount any future orders if you wish, KR, OOUK

I was very sceptical

I was very sceptical that good, prescription glasses could be supplied at 1/6th of the price I have been paying to my optician for years.
But at the price I decided to give them a go.
Nothing could have been easier, from selecting them, specifying the prescription, ordering and paying for them. Simplicity itself.
They have just been delivered 4th March, (ordered 24th Feb) and they are simply amazing. very well made , robust, good quality frames with the prescription spot on. Good quality case. faultless. Frankly, I am amazed!!

Great quality frame for good price

Great quality frame for good price. I got 2 frames one with prescription and one without. I work in the optical industry and was very happy with quality and service. We had to pay customs on top of delivery as we are in Ireland was only down side.

None delivery of glasses

None delivery of glasses. Had to chase the company none stop and will not answer or return calls. It’s been a month since ordering and they now won’t respond to emails. Terrible service. Avoid.

Updated: I have now received an extremly rude response via email from this company accusing me of telling untruths. They have not once returned or answered a phone call. And failed to stick to the 14 working day delivery term as stated by themselves in an email dated 30/1/26.

Dear Mr Fowler, your comments above are absolutely untrue. We have acknowledged all of your numerous voice messages & replied to all 7 of your emails since you ordered on the 29th January, with specific details on expected delivery.
Due to the bespoke, prescription, transitions, thin, MAR coated varifocal lenses you ordered having every option possible, they take longer to make, however timings are guidance & not exact to the day, as explained to you in all of our replies. Your comments do not reflect the service you have experienced to date and are untrue.

Apprehensive to use online optician

Apprehensive to use online optician, no regrets going ahead. Pleased with glasses and procedure simple, no hesitation to use again. Better value than high street and superior quality. With thanks, cheers Mike N.

Really nice quality glasses

Really nice quality glasses that arrived on time (once I was able to clarify what that time was)

The only criticism - make it clear what lenses have a longer lead time, I went for a blue light filter only (no prescription), which attracted rhe longer lead time, but the wording implied that was only for actual prescriptions.

I didnt mind waiting and I am happy with the glasses and how they look.

Great service!

Their website contains clear and easy to follow information for choosing and ordering glasses. The choice is varied and the prices are reasonable. They are the only supplier I have found that offers special lenses/lens coatings for drivers and I have found those excellent in use. Their despatch and delivery service is efficient and they were happy to deliver to our address in France.

Very good prices, better tracking needed

Very good prices, so thought I would give them a try. The order process is simple, and I had a quick confirmation email, but there is no way to track progress online, so after 10 days I chased via email. The delivered product is fine and a sturdy case.
