In 60 seconds
So far, we estimate that we have saved the UK public over £4 million on their glasses! This is why:
Back in 2004, the average cost of a pair of glasses bought at big high street chains like Specsavers was £148.85. Now you can get quality glasses, custom made to your precise prescription for just £18.75 complete.
Approved by opticians
We have revolutionized the way people buy their glasses with the help, advice and approval of registered opticians. Now, we make sure that every order is looked after by an optician. In fact, when you ring us you might even be talking to one.
