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.

Ordered prescription glasses. The whole procedure was simple. I particularly liked the fact that I was kept informed of each stage of the order from start to completion.
The glasses arrived beautifully presented in a quality box and quality case along with a micro fibre cloth an two bottles of lens cleaner. Will most certainly use Specscart again.

A Truly Caring Optician Who Treats You Like a Person, Not Merchandise
I want to share some well-deserved praise for Ms. Kanwal and the wonderful team at SpecsArt in Walkden Town Centre.
A few months after getting my new glasses, I had to return because I developed a secondary cataract. Ms. Kanwal was fantastic—she wasn't judgmental at all about my eyesight changing so quickly and took the time to do a very thorough check to confirm it. She immediately sent a referral to the eye hospital and even followed up on the exact same day to ensure everything was moving forward.
What really sets the Walkden SpecsArt apart from the larger optical chains is their consistent professionalism and genuine warmth. Their staff are highly trained, incredibly polite, and they never dismiss or look down on older clients. Unlike the big names that often treat you like merchandise, the team here truly cares about people.
Ms. Kanwal is kind, polite, and caring, and I am so grateful for her swift help. Thanks to her, my specialist appointment is booked, and I will definitely be booking my future eye tests with her again!

Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience.
Reading this means a great deal because it reflects exactly the kind of care we want every customer to receive. When someone comes to us with concerns about their eyesight, taking the time to listen, investigate properly and act quickly is incredibly important. I'm so pleased Kanwal was able to support you with such compassion and professionalism.
I will personally make sure Kanwal and the Walkden team see your kind words. They care deeply about every person who walks through the door, and I know this recognition will mean a great deal to them.
Thank you again for placing your trust in us. We wish you all the very best with your upcoming appointment and look forward to seeing you again in the future.
We look forward to serving you soon.

Exceptional Service and Quality
I was so pleased with my 1st order that I made another order of prescription sunglasses and prescription glasses on the same day I received the 1st pair of glasses.
Superb quality, very competitive pricing, 24 hour turn around, premium package with lens cleaner, cloth and metal screwdriver included at no extra cost.
I was able to find smaller frames which are lacking in the bigger chain stores who seem to only stock oversized frames which swamp my face and steam up as they rest half way down my cheeks.
Seeing a photo of a model wearing the frames is a huge help too.
Goodbye large chain store optician I'm sticking with Specscart in future for reglazing and new frames as my prescription changes.

The fact that you placed a second order as soon as your first one arrived is an incredible compliment and something we never take for granted. It means a great deal to know you've found frames that genuinely suit you, as we know how frustrating it can be when choice feels limited elsewhere.
We're also pleased that the little details, from the presentation to the care kit, helped make the experience feel complete. Your continued trust and support really do mean a lot to everyone here.
We look forward to serving you soon.

The acquisition process from start to finish is straightforward and customer focused, which I truly appreciate. I could not be happier with my varifocal specs. Brilliant, thank you.

It's especially rewarding to know we made a strong first impression. We want every part of the journey, from trying frames at home to receiving the finished glasses, to feel simple, quick and thoughtfully put together. I'm delighted the presentation and the little extras stood out just as much as your new glasses.

Easy on line ordering of samples to try at home. Totally cost free. Returns envelope included in package. Ordering is a simple affair (you can upload your prescription if you want to rather than write it down). Choice of sample lenses included in package. Had to send photo of me wearing the chosen pair of glasses, so don't send back the box until you receive confirmation your order has been approved! Nice easy people to talk to on the phone. What's not to like.
Update: New glasses have arrived. My 1st pair of varifocals and very happy with the result. Adjusted to them in no time at all. Arrived in sturdy (reusable) box, cleaning fluid, case, cloth and prescription printed on a credit card to keep. Overall a very good experience and would happily recommend and use again.

My first experience with specscart so slightly apprehensive. The website and buying process was simple and easy to understand so I sat back and waited.
Absolutely delighted when specs arrived. Nicely presented and packed, lens cleaner a thoughtful touch. I'd have no hesitation in recommending to friends and family and will use them again.
