We don’t carry out eye tests in our showrooms. Just bring a valid, in-date prescription with you and we’ll take care of everything else.
How much does eyewear cost?
All our single-vision eyewear is £85, lenses included. We keep our pricing simple and accessible for everyone. See our full pricing.
How long will my glasses take?
Wondering when your glasses will be ready, or how returns work? See our delivery & returns for all the details.
Can you make glasses for children?
We cater to over-16s only. As we’re not optometrists, we’re unable to fit lenses for children.
