Under the UK Opticians Act of 1989, any optician is obliged to provide you with a prescription. The optician will have to provide you with a thorough eye examination and is required by Law to provide you with a copy of your prescription for your own reference. You are not under any obligation to purchase your glasses from your optician who gives you the prescription.
The Internet model has helped us in reducing the cost of operation by doing away with renting expensive property at prime location or paying for the upkeep of numerous items of expensive eye testing machinery. We don't take orders via premium rate numbers and our lenses are made in our own laboratories, which cuts out the middle man. Whatever we save on the costs, we pass it on to the prices, and thus, we are able to keep the cost of our prescription glasses far lower than what is charged on the High Street.
We accept all major Credit and Debit cards which are secured with the strongest level of encryption commercially available. We do not store your card details on our server. All our payments are processed by Paypal, UK's leading secure payment processor. This makes all transactions 100% safe and secure.
Once your glasses have been constructed according to your prescription, in our laboratory they are usually dispatched within 5 working days, however, it can take up to 28 days.
The cost of postage and packaging in the UK/Ireland is £3.95 per pair of glasses. Postage outside the UK will cost £5.00. You can choose a delivery address that is different from the billing address. So for example your billing address can be your home address but you can choose to have the glasses delivered at your office address.
If your glasses are for distance viewing only - the 'addition' value is required when the glasses are going to be used for reading or close work. Sometimes opticians use the word 'Add' or 'Near' instead of 'addition'. Also they may only write it once but it normally applies to both eyes and is almost always the same value for both eyes (e.g. 'Add' +2.50 - should be entered for both eyes).
Yes - we do sell prescription glasses for children. However, the glasses will be dispatched only after we have confirmed the order with the parent/guardian of the child.
Yes, all your payment details are entered in a secure internet site that our website links with, which is managed by Paypal. GlassesExperts.co.uk does not record any customer payment details. All this information is held in a secure server managed by Paypal. Also, our shop uses 128 bit SSL, the strongest level of encryption commercially available. All transactions are guaranteed to be 100% safe and secure.

On a few occasions one pair of glasses can take slightly longer than the other, this is mainly due to a combination of the lens, prescription complexity and any coatings being added.

On the top right hand corner of our website you will find an icon that says 'Track Your Order'. This feature allows you to view the prescription you entered on our website while placing your order, delivery address, details of purchase and the status of your order.

Pupillary Distance simply means, the distance between your pupils. For a pair of glasses to optimally perform for you, the lenses need to be made to match the distance between your eyes so that the centre of each lens aligns with the centre of your pupils. To achieve this, we need your pupillary distance measurement, also called PD measurement. You could ask your optician for your pupillary distance measurement when he or she is conducting your eye test.

In case you do not enter any information here, we will send your glasses / sunglasses with a medium tint.
The need to order for thin lenses depends on your prescription and the frame you choose. We recommend thin lenses if your spherical power is -2.5 or above. This is particularly important if you are choosing a semi-rimless or rimless frame. These frames expose the lenses and choosing thin lenses improves your overall looks!
