The medical advice of your optician should always be respected as it is in the best interest of your eye health. Once you have been examined and given your prescription however, you have the right to purchase your lenses from wherever you like. It is much cheaper to buy your lenses online and so naturally; your optician does not want to lose business and may discourage you from buying them online.
Glasses purchased online undergo the same process as when you order them from your optician. We ensure that all frames and lenses fitted to your prescription are glazed, assembled and quality checked by qualified lab technicians and opticians.
However, we do not offer more complex prescriptions such as very high prescriptions and prescriptions with prism.
