10 second snapshot

Glasses Direct is the UK's largest direct seller of prescription glasses. We sell prescription glasses from just £19 and you get a second pair free with every purchase from £49. With no premises or expensive eye testing equipment to pay for, we pass on our savings to you. Which means you can now afford as many pairs as you like. £30 million – that's how much we estimate we've so far saved the bespectacled British public. Things are looking good.


Free, easy returns and aftercare

If you are not happy with your new glasses, we will happily exchange them or give you your money back. If you have any problems, call our professional opticians for advice. More about returns and aftercare
