Tell me more about who you are.<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>The interesting thing about me is that until about 22 years ago, I was on the board of one of the UK\u2019s biggest opticians. A company called Dollond &amp; Aitchison which merged with Boots Opticians after I left. I was director there, so I know a little bit about the glasses industry, in that sense. One of the reasons I left was I wanted to start up a business almost exactly the same as Glasses Direct before you started 20 years ago. I thought it was a really interesting opportunity so I was in some ways jealous and in some ways very pleased to see when you appeared on the scene 20 years ago. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I thought oh wow, great! They\u2019ve made it work which is really exciting. I was very aware that you could do glasses remotely without having to visit the opticians so I was keen to try it out and so I\u2019ve been with you ever since.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>How long have you shopped with Glasses Direct?<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>I guess it must be between 15 to 20 years now!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What first attracted you to the website and the brand itself?<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>I knew you could get very good quality glasses at incredibly low prices, so it was that. I suppose it was testing out the model to start with and just seeing how it worked and I was intrigued from a business perspective rather than a customer perspective. Then I\u2019ve stuck with it and it has been generally really good service. I don\u2019t know if it is partly because of my knowledge of dispensing, but I have some slightly weird requests I like to put through. I have these complex prescriptions. Once I get a new prescription, I\u2019ll get four pairs. So a distance pair for driving, then a pair for medium work like a computer or a TV and then full-on reading. You guys have always dealt with that really well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>How frequently would you say you shop with us?<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>Maybe once a year. I wear them full-time so I usually have to replace them each year at least.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Why do you love to shop with Glasses Direct? Is there any specific reasons?<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>I think the value is good. I have also found that one of the frames that you do suits me really well. They\u2019re comfortable, the sizing is right and the pupil distance is right, so I stick to that one frame, the <a href=\"https:\/\/\r\nwww.glassesdirect.co.uk\/glasses\/frames\/imperial-bronze-m-11631\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Finelight, Imperial<\/span><\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Do you have a favourite pair of glasses?

I have a slightly bigger pair, very old ones actually, that I like to wear for sports because they\u2019re a bit bigger. So, for example, if I\u2019m cycling, these Imperial ones are too narrow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I would like some new prescription sunglasses. Again, mainly for sports and things, so maybe some fairly lightweight ones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image is-resized\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1\" src=\"https:\/\/img.glassesdirect.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Divider-1024x1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4188\" style=\"width:790px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/img.glassesdirect.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Divider-1024x1.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/img.glassesdirect.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Divider-300x1.jpg 300w, https:\/\/img.glassesdirect.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Divider-768x1.jpg 768w, https:\/\/img.glassesdirect.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Divider-1536x2.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/img.glassesdirect.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Divider-2048x3.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">John, the Swiss National Computing Centre<\/h3>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"540\" src=\"https:\/\/img.glassesdirect.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Lon-term-customer-image-1024x540.jpg\" alt=\"Man smiling wearing a pair of tinted rimless Finelight frames\" class=\"wp-image-13668\" style=\"width:790px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/img.glassesdirect.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Lon-term-customer-image-1024x540.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/img.glassesdirect.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Lon-term-customer-image-300x158.jpg 300w, https:\/\/img.glassesdirect.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Lon-term-customer-image-768x405.jpg 768w, https:\/\/img.glassesdirect.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Lon-term-customer-image.jpg 1404w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Would you like to start by introducing yourself? Tell me more about who you are.<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>Hi, I\u2019m John. One of the reasons I use Glasses Direct is because I moved abroad. I work for the Supercomputing Centre in Switzerland.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>How long have you shopped with Glasses Direct?<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>I looked at my account and the first time that I see a purchase is in 2009 and I don\u2019t know if my purchases go back further than that. I moved here at the end of 2004 and I have a memory that I started using Glasses Direct around then.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What first attracted you to the website and the brand itself?<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>I think probably the fact that you\u2019re cheaper than going to an optician is the driving factor but because I moved abroad, the language barrier meant that I had trouble going to an optician and explaining what I wanted. Being able to just do it online and upload my prescription, it solved a lot of problems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>How frequently would you say you shop with us?<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>Once every two years, I get my eyes rechecked and it depends how much they\u2019re changing. Now that I\u2019m getting older, I\u2019m using varifocals and I\u2019m finding that the near vision, it\u2019s degrading faster than I would hope!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I would say that I use Glasses Direct at least once every year because there is three of us all shopping with you! I\u2019ve got myself, my wife wears glasses and my daughter. So, every couple of months or weeks I get an email from you guys with a special offer and I say to everybody,&nbsp;<em>anybody need new glasses?<\/em>&nbsp;I only visit the UK once or twice a year so now what I do is, I always buy them online and have them delivered to my mum\u2019s address and then I collect them when I visit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I know that\u2019ll be visiting the UK in August this year, so around about July, I\u2019ll look at whatever special offer you\u2019ve got on and I\u2019ll mention it to everybody. In August, we\u2019ll order another pair, we\u2019ll use a voucher or whatever special offer you&#8217;ve got on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Why do you love to shop with Glasses Direct? Is there any specific reasons?<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>I can give you maybe three or four reasons why. So the obvious thing that brings people in is the price. It\u2019s a no-brainer!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The second one is the fact that when I go to an opticians, I feel somehow pressurised into buying things from them that I don\u2019t want. I recently went to an optician here because I wanted to just change the little nose clips on my glasses and when you look at what they\u2019ve got, it\u2019s all named brands and inflated prices. I don\u2019t want a named brand, I don\u2019t care who makes the glasses I wear so I don\u2019t want to feel pressured into buying. Your eyewear is cheaper. You have a much wider selection as well. You have hundreds of pairs and I can scroll through them and find the ones I want. Whereas you go to the optician, they\u2019ve got a limited number and you think, well I don\u2019t want any of them. They want you to buy from them and so they\u2019re pressuring and pressuring you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Funnily enough, my wife said there was another reason which was that because for example you do all these offers, like&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/\r\nwww.glassesdirect.co.uk\/offers\/2-for-1-from-49-offer-explained\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">buy one get one free<\/span><\/strong><\/a>&nbsp;that kind of thing, we pretty much always buy two pairs. Once every couple of years, I go to the optician and get my prescription changed and then I buy a new pair and I usually buy a second pair as well. The fact that I&#8217;ve always got a spare pair means that, it just reduces the anxiety that if I accidently sit on them or they fall off, I know I\u2019ve got a spare pair and don\u2019t have to worry so much about the cost. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I probably save \u00a3100 or more every time I buy a pair. I mean, I use my eyes every day so I feel like if I buy another pair of glasses every year or so, that\u2019s money well spent!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So basically, the convenience and the not having to go to an opticians is good. I started using Glasses Direct and since I\u2019ve started using them, I basically haven\u2019t ever tried anyone else. So, I don&#8217;t really have any reason to go elsewhere!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Do you have a favourite pair of glasses?<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>So, my favourites are these ones I\u2019m wearing which are&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/\r\nwww.glassesdirect.co.uk\/glasses\/frames\/clover-silver-m-15770\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Finelight &#8211; Clover<\/span><\/strong><\/a>. I have two or three pairs of these from this year and last year in my cupboard. They are also in my little Favourites box on your website and all I do is go there and make sure you\u2019re still selling them. If you don\u2019t have the ones, because occasionally you change them, I then look through the website and see which ones are as close as possible to the ones I usually wear. Then I just renew my basket.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I like the ones that are invisible. So, anything that has no frame or the thinnest frame possible. When I started buying from you, you used to do very thin frame ones and then you started doing the completely frameless ones, so I switched to those. I don\u2019t know how many years I\u2019ve been buying these ones but it must be at least five or ten!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I ride a motorbike and I wear a helmet so I don\u2019t like big frames so I want something that is just as small and lightweight as possible. So I have my Favourites on your website, I click, click. It\u2019s easy!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image is-resized\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1\" src=\"https:\/\/img.glassesdirect.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Divider-1024x1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4188\" style=\"width:790px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/img.glassesdirect.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Divider-1024x1.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/img.glassesdirect.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Divider-300x1.jpg 300w, https:\/\/img.glassesdirect.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Divider-768x1.jpg 768w, https:\/\/img.glassesdirect.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Divider-1536x2.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/img.glassesdirect.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Divider-2048x3.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Claire Darroch-Thompson, Auction Accounts at Lacy Scott &amp; Knight<\/h3>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"540\" src=\"https:\/\/img.glassesdirect.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Lon-term-customer-image1-1024x540.jpg\" alt=\"Man wearing a pair of brown rectangular frames\" class=\"wp-image-13594\" style=\"width:790px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/img.glassesdirect.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Lon-term-customer-image1-1024x540.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/img.glassesdirect.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Lon-term-customer-image1-300x158.jpg 300w, https:\/\/img.glassesdirect.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Lon-term-customer-image1-768x405.jpg 768w, https:\/\/img.glassesdirect.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Lon-term-customer-image1.jpg 1404w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Would you like to start by introducing yourself?

I really appreciated them being able to send frames for me to try on. Yeah, they\u2019ve always been really good.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What first attracted you to the website and the brand itself?<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>I suppose, I was looking for a no-frills way of getting glasses. I was very aware that the opticians over-charged massively for what they did. Opticians can be a bit intimidating sometimes as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I don\u2019t have a complicated prescription. So I thought, there just has to be a cheaper way of doing this. I can\u2019t remember now who told me about Glasses Direct or how I heard about it, but I just looked for it online and found it then never looked back really!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>How frequently would you say you shop with us?<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>Well, whenever my prescription changes. I don\u2019t go for varifocals, I get distance glasses, reading, computer and sunglasses. So, it\u2019s probably every couple of years.

I mean, obviously, you get what you pay for. But saying that, some of the cheaper ones have seemed really good quality and they last perfectly well. It doesn\u2019t cost the earth if you break them and have to replace them. I couldn\u2019t believe it when my friend said that she had spent nearly \u00a3500 having hers done. I just thought, that\u2019s absurd! I\u2019m just not spending that amount of money on a pair of glasses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Do you have a favourite pair of glasses?<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>I like to have the rimless ones for my everyday distance glasses.
