Why buy glasses online?

It’s convenient

Buying online means glasses are always at your fingertips – no matter the time of day (or night). It also means your glasses get delivered direct to your doorstep.

It’s cheaper

Not only do you get extra savings passed on to you, the customer, from not having a physical presence; you also get access to exclusive online deals.

You have more choice

Buying glasses online gives you more shapes, colours, styles and brands than could ever fit in a brick and mortar location.

Help is always available

Our qualified opticians and dedicated customer service team are always on hand to help with any queries you have, and may even contact you regarding your order.

Have an idea of what you’re looking for and what suits you best

This may be easier if you already own glasses and know what works well for you, but this is incredibly important.

Having an idea of what you’re looking for, whether it’s a certain colour, material or shape, will help save you a lot of time.
