Why aren't these available for Home Trial?

When you want a particular pair of glasses, and you just *have* to have them, then they need to definitely be in stock.

With this in mind, we've restricted our faster selling styles so that they can't go out on home trial when they're nearly sold out. This means they're definitely available for our customers who want to buy them.

If you're interested in one of these styles, it's worth moving quickly because it's likely that they'll be completely sold out fairly soon and replaced with another great value style.

It’s still totally risk free, our 120-day no quibble guarantee means you can still return them if you’re not 100% satisfied.

Why aren't these available for Home Trial?

We want to make sure that when you have found the perfect pair, they are on-site and ready for you. That's why certain frames will not be available for home trial when they are low in stock.

You can shop with confidence either way, as we offer no-quibble 120-day returns in case you are not 100% satisfied with your purchase for any reason.

NHS Voucher is applied
You can only apply this voucher to a single pair of glasses. If you would like to choose a different pair, please remove the current frame from your basket first.
