Choosing glasses shouldn’t feel rushed or uncertain. With free Home Trial, you can try up to four frames at home, compare styles in real life, and choose with confidence — not pressure.
Selecting new eyewear — whether that’s everyday prescription glasses or reading glasses — is a decision you’ll live with every day. The right pair needs to feel comfortable, suit your face shape, and work with your lifestyle — not just look good in a quick mirror check.
But in-store shopping at high-street opticians can feel rushed. Bright lighting, limited time, and quick decisions don’t always lead to the best choice.
That’s why more people are choosing to buy glasses online — with the option to try before they buy.
With our Free Home Trial service, you can take your time, see how frames look in natural light, and make a decision that actually feels right.
Free Home Trial. Try it. Love it.
Indecisive? Our Home Trial was made for you
If you’ve ever struggled to choose between two (or four) pairs of glasses, you’re not alone. Small differences in shape, colour, or size can completely change how frames look and feel — whether you’re choosing reading glasses or everyday specs.
Free Home Trial is designed to remove that uncertainty.
Instead of guessing, you can:
- Compare multiple best-selling frames side by side
- Ask friends or family for a second opinion
- Test styles with your everyday outfits
- See how frames look in natural light
This is especially helpful if you’re:
- Trying a new frame shape or colour
- Choosing between bold and minimal styles
- Buying glasses online for the first time
- Unsure which frames suit your face shape
Rather than committing too quickly, you get the space to explore your options properly — making your final choice feel easy, not overwhelming.
Four frames, zero pressure
With free Home Trial, you can choose up to 4 frames to try at home — completely free.
How it works
1. Pick your frames
Browse online and select up to 4 styles to try.
2. Try them at home
Delivered to your door, so you can test them in your own time.
3. Compare and decide

4. Order your favourite frames

Why trying at home makes a difference
Trying glasses at home gives you a more realistic experience than a quick in-store try-on.
