20 April 2026
Spring is the perfect time to refresh your look. With longer, brighter days and more time spent outdoors, it’s the ideal moment to update your eyewear — from lightweight everyday glasses to prescription sunglasses for spring and summer. With our free Home Trial, you can try your favourite frames at home before you choose.
Free Home Trial. Try it. Love it.
Finding your next pair has never felt easier or more flexible.
A fresh season, a fresh way to find your frames
Buying glasses online has never been simpler. With our free Home Trial service, you can try on frames in the comfort of your home, compare your favourites, and find the perfect fit without ever visiting the high street or rushing through opticians.
From reading glasses to varifocal lenses, finding your next pair should feel easy, flexible, and tailored to you.
Try at home — add dark tints when you order
Buying glasses should work around your lifestyle. With our Home Trial service, you can explore a range of best-selling frames before making a decision.
Choose up to four pairs of glasses to try at home, whether you’re looking for everyday prescription glasses, rimless styles, or something more statement. It’s a simple way to see what suits your face shape and personal style.
Once you’ve found your favourite frames, complete your order at checkout and customise your lenses.
You can add:
- Prescription lenses, including bifocal and varifocal options
- Dark tints to create prescription sunglasses
- Transitions® lenses for adaptable light control

From sofa to sunshine: test your frames first
Your eyewear needs to work in real life, not just under shop lights. With Home Trial, you can move from sofa to sunshine and see how your new frames look in natural light.
Test your new frames throughout the day:
- Check comfort from morning to evening
- Step outside to see how they look in sunlight
- Match them with your wardrobe and spring outfits
- Compare multiple pairs side by side
Whether you’re choosing prescription sunglasses, everyday specs, or reading glasses, trying the frames in your own home helps you feel confident in your final choice.
Find your spring style with confidence
Spring eyewear is all about lighter tones, soft colours, and easy-to-wear shapes. Whether you prefer bold styles or minimal rimless frames, there’s something for every face shape and lifestyle.
