FAQ

GLASSES, PRESCRIPTIONS & LENSES

How do I order online with my prescription?

When you have chosen your frame, click the 'Buy Frame or Add Prescription' button.
Y
ou can then select 'Single Vision Lenses' for if you require glasses for reading or distance. 'Fashion Accessory' if you do not require prescription eyewear & 'Frame Only' if you would like to get your lenses fitted locally.

If you chose 'Single Vision Lenses' then you will have the option to upload your prescription which allows you to select or take a photo on a mobile phone, tablet, or select an image from your computer. Or if you would prefer, you can select 'Enter Manually' which will allow you to input the details for your OD + OS, we will also ask you to upload your prescription just so we can double check all the details in our lab. Your final option is to 'Email Later', this way you can
get in touch with our highly-trained customer service team via email. We'd recommend this method if you have any questions or special requests, our team can talk you through the ordering process.

You can find further information about ordering prescription glasses here.

Can I return glasses with lenses?

If you added lenses to your order, either prescription or fashion accessory, please note that these are both custom items and in such a case only the frame is refundable. Also, the frame must be unworn in as new condition and returned within 14 days of receipt.

How do I get a prescription?

Once you've had an eye examination at your local Optician/Optometrist, you should be handed your prescription by law. If your Optician does not give you your prescription as standard, you should ask for this.

You may already have a prescription from a previous sight test, and providing it is still valid you can use that (prescriptions are normally valid for two years from the date of the eye examination).

If you have any difficulty please contact us and we would be happy to assist you further.

How much will my glasses cost?


Once you have chosen the frame you would like, click 'add prescription lenses' then select your lens package from TruOptics, Essilor and ZEISS [which ranges from +£20.00 to +£800.00] and any additional coatings you may require such as anti-reflection, blue control and Drive. You can also add transitions if you wish to have your clear lenses turn brown or grey when you move into bright light.

You will then be quoted a price based on your prescription and package selection.

Please be aware, if you have a more complex prescription we may have to surface your lenses at an additional charge. A member of our qualified customer service team will be in touch once we have received and read your prescription to notify you of this cost [in most cases, this is approximately an additional £30 charge].

How do I measure my PD?


You can ask the optician or store where you last purchased glasses for your PD [pupil distance] measurement as they will have measured and noted on your records.

However, if you'd prefer not to ask then you can measure using a number of smart phone apps.
We recommend: 'EyeMeasure' [for Apple iPhone] or 'GlassesOn' [for Samsung/ Android Users].
Both of these apps take advantage of latest camera technology resulting in measurements as accurate as any in store/Optician measurement devices.

What size of glasses should I choose?

Glasses can come in all shapes and sizes and it can be a matter of personal choice what size of frame you go for.

You may notice that in the product pages of our site you have the option to choose multiple sizes, quite often 47mm, 50mm or 53mm. These numbers refer to the lens width - 47mm recommended for those looking for a smaller, more narrow frame, where as 53mm or above will provide you a much larger eyewear design.

The above graphic displays the four most common sizes that you will come across while browsing for frames. However, if you have a specific sizing question or request then please feel free to get in touch with our qualified team who will be able to assist.

If you currently wear glasses, you may find the size of your current frame imprinted in the inside arm. You will see values such as: 52 18 135, the first number lens diameter, the second is the bridge width and the last is frame length. We have them listed in the 'DETAILS' section on the right hand side of our product pages.

The first number in the above image refers to the lens width. As explained above, many of our brands design their frames in multiple sizes, quite often 47mm, 50mm or 53mm. This measurement is dictated by your eye size and is the horizontal width of the lens in millimeters. If you are measuring a current pair, then please ensure you measure the inside of the frame rather than the outside.

We often add the lens height to our product details, but this is less commonly featured on the inside leg of your frame, this is the vertical height of a lens and it is measured from the top to the bottom of the lens excluding the frame.

The second number on your glasses leg will tell you the bridge width. The bridge width is the gap above your nose and between the lenses, it is important this is comfortable for you to wear [not too tight where it may pinch your nose, and not too loose where it may fall off your face]. The second number in the example above informs us the bridge is 18mm.

The last number refers to the length of the side of your frame. Most commonly brands create their eyewear designs in usually 135mm, 140mm or 145mm. The side should be long enough to sit comfortably over your ears.

 

Can I buy glasses without prescription lenses?

We understand that glasses can be the perfect fashion accessory so all you need to do is select 'Add Prescription Lenses', then 'Fashion Accessory'.

Note that if you choose 'Frame Only', you will receive a dummy demo lens which often includes the brand logo which can obscure your vision.

Do you sell varifocal lenses?


Yes, you can select 'Varifocal/Progressive' when you click 'Buy Frame or Add Prescription' on the product page.
Please be aware, we may get in touch with you before creating your custom lenses so we can discuss your varifocal requirements further.

Our varifocal lenses are only available to UK-based customers. You can find more information about Varifocal Lenses here.

 

Do you supply prescription glasses for children?

Supply of prescription glasses to those under 16 is not possible due to regulation set by The General Optical Council [39.11 Statutory Regulation]. This regulation states that the dispensing of prescription glasses by an unqualified person is not permitted by law to dispense to children under 16 and patients who are registered as severely visually impaired or visually impaired (blind or partially sighted).

However, you may purchase the 'frame only option' and have prescription lenses fitted in person by a registered optician in their practice. Sales of spectacles to those under sixteen or with serious visual impairment can only be made by, or under, the supervision of a registered practitioner.

Can I return prescription glasses ordered with free lenses?


If you choose a free lens option then your return refund will be reduced by a minimum £20 plus further deduction of any lens upgrades. Prescription eyewear is a custom item and will require further work and lens refitting before we can restock.

What is the maximum prescription that you dispense?


We will cater for single vision prescriptions in the range to +/- 8.00, however only where we can obtain accurate centration values for both monocular PD and heights. This range is reduced in the case of Varifocal Lenses where the maximum prescription is +/-6.00.

Will I receive original lenses if I add prescription?

You should not expect to receive the original clear dummy lens from optical glasses or the tinted original lens from sunglasses. This is because we often use a removal method which involves breaking the original lenses. This is done to avoid having to apply extra heat to stretch the frame as this can involve risk of damage. This is especially the case with glass lenses. If having the original lenses is very important to you we can ask our Technician t to check if he can save the lenses however it may be that you hav to accept risk of damage. We can also offer to supply lenses at a later date for wholesale price should you wish.

I have ordered prescription sunglasses. Will I get original sunglass lenses?


If you are ordering sunglasses with prescription lenses you will not receive the original sunglass lenses. It may be able to purchase these separately and if you wish to do so please let us know and we can provide you with price for these.

Is there a charge to try glasses at home?


If your order(s) is for 3 or fewer items there is no restocking fee.
If you order 4 or more then any returned items are subject to 10% restocking and handling charge. We recommend that you limit your order to 3 items. Please note that it is not possible to make multiple orders to avoid this fee as multiple orders from same address will be combined and subject to this same charge.

I want to try on some glasses at home - how many can I order?

We ask that you order 1-3 frames to try at home. Please note that they must be paid for in full.

We will provide a full refund for any/all items returned. Please ensure that products are returned unworn and with all accessories supplied. We can only offer refunds for items that still have the tags attached.

Please note that orders for 4 or more items where all items are returned will be subject to a 10% restocking fee. If you order 8 items then you must keep and pay for 2 items ie 25% of original order total. We recommend that you consider ordering 3 or fewer. Please note that multiple orders where sum is greater than 4 will be subject to same condition i.e. if 2 orders are placed in same week with a total number of items greater than 4 then there will be a restocking fee applied if all items returned.

This measure in place to minimise the number of items being removed from our stock for home trial and therefore making unavailable for other customers to purchase.

Will my Zeiss Lenses have engravings?

 

You expect to find a logo on your spectacle frames. After all, you've decided on a particular design from a specific brand. This is no different when purchasing lenses, making the ZEISS logo an absolute must on every one of our precision lenses. And for you, it is your guarantee that you have ZEISS lenses in front of your eyes.

The ZEISS brand mark immediately tells you that your glasses feature ZEISS lenses, providing your eyes with a one-of-a-kind visual experience. Our goal is to ensure you have optimum vision – every moment of every day – so that you can enjoy everything life has to offer. We uphold this promise through our unique know-how in different fields of optics, our research work and our passion for clear vision. Our trademark, our promise of quality, on your ZEISS precision lens combines all these different factors.

But don't worry: the ZEISS brand mark is just intended for you and the person you're looking at, it is inconspicuous, but still visible in certain light and, most importantly, it won't impair your vision. The laser used for engraving the brand mark on your lens is operated at a wavelength that only allows a very slight penetrative depth. You can't even feel it on the surface of the lens.

 

How do I know if I have received authentic ZEISS lenses?

You should find the ZEISS brand mark on the lens in the form of the ZEISS logo or as a stylised ZEISS Z. However, in some cases, the Z engraving may not be present in the final lens fitted into your frame. This can occur if you have ordered single vision lense with astigmatism in your prescription. This will cause the logo to rotate and may be in a different position in each lens or absent altogether. In the case of Zeiss progressive or surfaced lenses then you would usually expect to see symettrically placed Z logos on right and left lenses and within the lenses. However, if you wish to have further proof of authenticity that your lenses are a Zeiss product then you can ask your Optician for confirmation by email or if possible be provided with the lens packaging.

 

DUTIES AND TAXES

Will I have to pay Import Duties?

Please check your local Tax Laws to check Import Duties. We will not refund import duties or taxes.

We cover Duties and Taxes to USA and The European Union Countries with the exception of Iceland, Portugal, Switzerland and Croatia. We no longer ship to Greece. Residents in all other countries should check local Tax Laws.
Shipping to Canada, please note that you are likely to be charged 10-20% of item cost as an import duty. We cannot refund this cost to you.

RE-LENS

What is RE-LENS?


Re-Lens is our re- glazing service. We can take your current frames and add any lenses from our portfolio.

Re-lens is a great option if:

  • Your prescription has changed and you need new lenses for your existing glasses.
  • You damage, scratch or chip your current lenses and wish to replace them.
  • You would like to upgrade or change your current lenses with a different type lens or added coating.
  • You have purchased a new frame and require us to fit your lenses.

Not only are you saving money by choosing to re-lens, but there is also a positive environmental benefit to keeping your existing glasses.

Why consign your older glasses to a drawer when you can let us fit new lenses!
Let us prolong the life span of one of your favourite frames.

How much does it cost to have new lenses fitted to my old frame?


New lenses start from only £30 (plus postage).
You can see all available lens options and prices as you move through the order process. Please visit RE LENS for further information.

If you need any help with pricing please get in touch.

 

Do you RE-LENS all frame types?


Yes, we can fit new lenses to all types of glasses including rimless frames [this includes brands such as Lindberg and Silhouette].

We also fit lenses to brands such as ic! berlin, which not every optician can...
This is a highly-skilled process therefore there is a small additional charge for special frames to cover extra lab work.


My frame is quite old, is that a problem?


Please note that older frames may not be suitable for relens. If your frame breaks during the process we cannot be held responsible.

What happens if my frame breaks during the re-lensing process?

 

All orders are accepted on the basis that the process is at your risk.
We will refuse & refund orders if we foresee breakages as a potential outcome.

However, if we accept your glasses to fit new lenses and they break during the process then we cannot accept responsibility. Our acceptance of your order does not insure against breakage or damage. If your eyewear is of high or sentimental value we ask that you keep this in mind.


If a breakage does occur then we will try to arrange a replacement at cost price. However this may not always be possible.

 

Can you measure prescription from my old glasses?

 

Yes, we have accurate lens meters which can measure your prescription.
We can also measure where your varifocal [progressive] lenses are fitted within your frame should you wish for us to replicate in your new lenses.

 

How can I tell if my frame is suitable for RE-LENS?

 

We recommend that you take a close look at your glasses and consider if they are worthy of new lenses? In particular, please check plastic frames for presence of small cracks or white marks which may indicate that the material is likely to break when undergoing the relens process.


If you are unsure and require a second opinion, please feel free to send us some images of your frames [you must ensure your images are clear, sharp and well lit. Your images must capture any wear and tear on the frame].

 

Can you fit new nose pads to my glasses?

 

Yes we will replace nose pads with silicon pads. Please note, we will not be able to replace designer branded nose pads. If you send a frame with designer logo nose pads please let us know if you will be satisfied with non branded pads. If so, then we will replace your nose pads free of charge.

 

How can I order varifocal lenses?

 

Yes, you can order varifocal lenses in the same way as our single vision lenses.


However, we may require some extra information from you in order to accurately re-lens your varifocal glasses. Once you have placed your order, our advisor may call and ask for some photographs of you wearing your glasses. These photos will allow our team to accurately measure your eye position within the frame.


If you already have varifocal lenses in the frames you are sending for re-lensing then we can measure the optical centres when we receive your glasses at our lab.

 

How long does the process take?


This service can take between 4 to 10 working-days in total. Our advisor can give you a more appropriate estimate when they call to discuss your order.

Our standard free post label is sent with Tracked 48 hour post. Once your glasses are at our lab, it can take 2 working-days to process your new standard lenses. Varifocal lenses and lenses with special coatings can take up to 5 to 7 working-days to arrive with us at our lab.

If you do require an express service then do ask and we will do our best to get your glasses to us and back to you as soon as possible.

 

I have rimless glasses, do I need a special lens material?

 

Yes, rimless glasses require a slightly tougher material. We strongly recommend that you choose either a 1.6 or 1.67 index lens material. As the lens edge is exposed in your rimless frame, it is best to fit rimless glasses with a tougher lens material.

A standard 1.5 index lens is more brittle and susceptible to edge chipping. Also, as our lab will need to drill holes into the lens to fit your lenses, the 1.5 lens can be a little too soft allowing the holes to widen leading to the lenses loosening within frame.

 

Do you reglaze Lindberg frames?

 

Yes, we can re-lens all Lindberg glasses.

We send all Lindberg frames to a specialist lab who have extensive experience fitting lenses to Lindberg frames. This requires special equipment, and most of all a highly skilled technician.


If your optician is not used to fitting new lenses to Lindberg glasses then the quality and security of the lens fitting may be less than perfect. Therefore this specialist service with extra care and attention does necessitate a small added fee. Please contact us for a quote.

 

How can I send you my prescription?

 

You have multiple options to provide us with your prescription. You can upload a photo, enter your prescription manually into our online form or email us a photo of your prescription values. Alternatively, you can ask us to replicate the prescription currently in your glasses by sending your glasses to us.

 

How can I give you my pupil distance (PD) measurement?

 

You can provide your pupil distance in the prescription form on our website. There is an space for you to enter this alongside your prescription.

 


If you do not know your pupil distance, you can contact your optician and ask. Your PD value is something that all UK opticians note on your prescription. In most cases, your optician will give you this free of charge as it should already be on file [if you have previously ordered glasses from that specific store].

However, if you are unable to contact your optician or they do not have this information available, there are now smartphone apps which you can use. The app will take an incredibly accurate measurement of your PD in just a couple of minutes. For iPhone users we recommend ‘EyeMeasure’ and for Android users we recommend ‘GlassesOn’. Both these apps are free and only takes a couple of minutes to download and use.

If you are struggling to download or use either of the apps, or if you have any further questions about your pupil distance, please contact our team. We are more than happy to talk you through the measurement process and assist where we can.


Once you have your measurement, please share the figure with us via the online prescription form or by email.

Klarna will notify you by email, SMS or push notification when a payment is due and when you have made or missed a payment. You can always check the status of your order and payments in the Klarna app or by logging in at www.klarna.com/uk.

What happens if I don’t make a payment on time?


Pay in 3 is a credit product and you are required to make your scheduled payments to Klarna. Your payments are automatically withdrawn from your connected card or bank account according to the agreed payment schedule.

Pay in 30 days is a credit product and you are required to make your payment to Klarna. If you don't pay for your order on time, Klarna may charge late payment fees. Klarna may also share information about your missed payments with credit reference agencies. This means you may find it difficult or more expensive to use Klarna or other lenders' credit products in the future. Full details can be found in the Klarna terms and conditions here.

What happens if I don’t pay for my order?


If you don't make your payments you will be in arrears as Pay in 3 is a credit product. Klarna may then share information about your missed payments with credit reference agencies. This means you may find it difficult or more expensive to use Klarna or other lenders' credit products in the future. Klarna may also refer any debt to a debt collection agency. This agency will collect the debt on behalf of Klarna. Also, if the debt is referred to a debt collection agency Klarna will share this information with credit reference agencies.

As Pay in 30 days is a credit product, if you don't pay for your order Klarna may use a debt collection agency. Klarna may also report the missed payment to credit reference agencies. This means you may find it more expensive or difficult to get credit in the future.

Yes, we do accept prescription eyewear returns. However, as all items they must be unworn and with all packaging intact. If your glasses came with a tag attached, please ensure this is left on the frame.

Please note that we only refund the cost of the frame. We do not refund the cost of prescription lenses once the lenses have been ordered as they are a custom-made item.

 

If you choose a free lens option then your return refund will be reduced by a minimum £20 plus further deduction of any lens upgrades. Prescription eyewear is a custom item and will require further work and lens refitting before we can restock.

If you are not sure of what prescription eyewear you want to buy or if a different frame will fit your current lenses then we suggest that you purchase frame only first to try. Then return the frame to have lenses custom made for that model once you are certain of your purchase.

I want to try on some glasses at home - how many can I order?


We ask that you order 1-3 frames to try at home. Please note that they must be paid for in full.

We will provide a full refund for any/all items returned. Please ensure that products are returned unworn and with all accessories supplied. We can only offer refunds for items that still have the tags attached.

Please note that orders for 4 or more items where all items are returned will be subject to a 10% restocking fee. If you order 8 items then you must keep and pay for 2 items ie 25% of original order total. We recommend that you consider ordering 3 or fewer. Please note that multiple orders where sum is greater than 4 will be subject to same condition i.e. if 2 orders are placed in same week with a total number of items greater than 4 then there will be a restocking fee applied if all items returned.

This measure in place to minimise the number of items being removed from our stock for home trial and therefore making unavailable for other customers to purchase.
