Which lens types and coatings we can fit to a particular frame varies. Ask us and we will confirm for the frame you are looking at.

HOW IT WORKS

01 / CHOOSE

Pick the frame

Choose your shape and colour, and check the three measurements against a frame you already wear.

02 / SEND

Share your prescription

Send us a photograph or scan of a current prescription from your optometrist, including your PD if you have it.

03 / GLAZE

We fit the lenses

Your lenses are cut to the frame and checked before dispatch. A glazed order takes longer to leave us than a plain frame.

This page explains the options in general terms. It is not an eye test and it is not medical advice — your optometrist should confirm which lens type and prescription is right for you.

Not sure which lens?

Send us your prescription and the frame you like. We will tell you what fits and what it costs.
