Try glasses at home with our free Home Trial service
Buying glasses online should feel easy. With Glasses Direct’s free Home Trial, you can try on glasses from the comfort of your home before you commit.
Try before you buy
Choose up to 4 pairs of glasses to try at home
Style them with your everyday outfits
See how they look in natural light
Keep them for 7 days (no rush, no pressure)
It’s a simple, flexible way of buying glasses online — without the pressure of high-street shopping.
Why your friends can help you choose the right frames at home
Choosing new frames is a big decision. Your glasses are part of your everyday eyewear and personal style.
So why do it alone?
When you try on glasses at home, you can get honest opinions from the people who know you best. Whether it’s a quick mirror selfie or a full outfit check, a second opinion helps you see what really works for your face shape and style.
Sometimes, your favourite frames aren’t the ones you expected.
The group chat test: try on glasses at home
Once your Home Trial glasses arrive, it’s time for the group chat test.
Try them on. Snap a few photos. Send them to your friends.
Expect honest feedback like:
- “Those suit your face shape perfectly”
- “Try the rimless frames — they’re more you”
- “You need both pairs of glasses”
It’s real-time styling advice — without stepping into an opticians.
Why your glasses should feel like you
Trends come and go, but the right prescription glasses should always feel personal.
That might mean:
- Clean, minimalist metal frames for everyday wear
- Soft acetate styles that suit your skin tone
- Bold frames that stand out
- Subtle rimless silhouettes
The best specs feel natural — something you reach for every day because they just work.
When your glasses reflect your personal style, everything else feels easier.
