What our customers have to say about our home trial service
The process is really easy. I chose some frames and requested a home trial. 4 pairs of different styles with clear lenses arrived really quickly, allowing me to see what suited and what didn't, and also how comfortable they felt. I made my choices and returned them using a very easy prepaid system.

The home trial option is really useful for seeing the frames before you buy.

I love the free home trial for frames, being able to get family members opinions on which suit me and my lifestyle best and knowing that the fit is right.
