Brilliant customer service. My emails were attended to promptly.
Really pleased with my glasses. Had prescription glasses tinted to make sunglasses. They look great. Service was fast too, they were back to me within a few days.

good mix of glasses but they don't make it easy or even clear how to delete personal data. there has been a data breach on their website ( informed by apple ) yet I can't delete my data to make it safe for me, this is bad. Their response has given me every faith and trust in them and will continue to explore their website, thanks !

Dear Aaron. Thank you for your review and kind words. I want to make it clear that our company has NOT been involved with any data breach. The erroneous information (AI, Google, etc) links us with Luxottica who have experienced multiple breaches ... we are 100% independent and have absolutely no connection with Luxottica - we do not buy from them and we are not a distributor. As you know I have personally emailed you for your peace of mind and to assure you that we will delete your data within 24 hours even though we were not part of any breach. I hope this helps.

An exceptionally good company.

The website is intuitive and easy to use and their range of glasses is extraordinary. With a fast response and free postage they are a company that I will always come back to.

Great prescription lenses and frame, fantastic communication

I was worried about using an online service to purchase glasses. However the experience with The Old Glasses Shop was so positive that I will probably only order with them in the future.

Bought an Anglo-American frame, with prescription lenses. Everything turned up amazing, really high quality, very pleased with it all. It arrived a day late, but the communication was really good.

Thanks guys

Following a recommendation from a friend I've purchased a couple of pairs of specs with vari lenses and bespoke clip on shades.
Quite simply the 'Old Glasses Shop' are the best !
👓 Products you just can't find anywhere else.
👓 Really good value for money.
👓 Christina and the Sales Team are a joy to deal with - knowledgeable - efficient - personable - fun !
👓 Nothing was too much trouble, including guidance over my optical requirements and providing a hassel free replacement for an item damaged in delivery.
I know this all might sound a bit OTT but as a business owner, management consultant (boring 🤣) and trainer I know world class customer service when I get it !
Folks l suggest l👀k no further than 'The Old Glasses Shop'...

Exceptional customer service and high quality frames and lenses. The choice of beautiful frames is amazing and you won’t find them on the high street. Combined this with unparalleled customer service makes this a truly exceptional retailer.

Great experience with this company!

Great experience with this company. I ordered three pairs of frames to try and settled on one of them, I returned all three and had one fitted with lenses. They've turned out to be the best pair of spectacles I've ever had. Nice and light with great lenses. I will use this company again for my next pair. Many thanks.

Amazing Service

Once again brilliant service, I have purchased the same frames in different colours over the past 4/5 years, service has always been excellent, just received my third pair ordered on the 5 January received today the 7January, they have some fabulous frames which you do not see in the shops, I would definitely recommend The Old Glasses Shop if your looking for something a little bit different from the norm!!

This was the first time I have bought my glasses online and was a bit weary. I need not have worried. They are truly the best pair of specs I have ever had. They were so good that I went back and bought a second pair. The customer service was second to none and I would recommend this wonderful company to anyone and everyone. Simple the best!

Bought a pair of Anglo American 406 frames with matching sun clip. The frames are high quality and a perfect fit.
Living in Belgium, I had to pay the local VAT which was swiftly refunded by Thje Old Glasses Shop.

Appalling service and a really rude owner in Mr Graham Green. I waited 6 weeks already for the glasses I ordered, only to be told today that they wouldn’t be available. Then to top it all I get a rude phone call from the owner, who decides to put the phone down on me.

Unbelievable and shocking.
