Glasses Direct - The facts

Glasses Direct The facts

Glasses Direct is  an online retailer based in the United Kingdom that offers discount  eyeglasses and bifocals. There are many frame styles to choose from,  including designer frames. Customers in the UK can go to any one of the  many opticians in the country to obtain a prescription. This  prescription can then be submitted to Glasses Direct. Glasses Direct  will construct regular or bifocal glasses according to the prescription  and ship them directly to the customer. Since the prices for Glasses  Direct tend to be significantly lower than other retailers in the UK,  this is an excellent way to purchase glasses at cheap prices.

Lenses and coatings

Glasses  Direct offers many different lenses and coatings to satisfy every  customer. Transition-adaptive lenses are chosen by millions of people  around the world. These lenses are clear but turn dark when exposed to  UV light. They are designed to fit almost all frames, styles, and  prescriptions and offer full UV protection.

Bifocal lenses contain  two parts. The upper part is useful for driving or watching TV at a  distance and the lower area is used for reading. These lenses are  commonly used by people who require both regular glasses and reading  glasses. This saves individuals from having to change between two pairs  of glasses.

Varifocal lenses are those which have more than two  parts. These are especially useful for those people who need to switch  between long, intermediate, and short distances throughout a single day.  The top part of the lens is for seeing things at a distance. The lens  gradually increases in strength until the full reading prescription is  reached at the bottom. These glasses do take several weeks to adjust to,  so customers will have to be patient

Delivery of your glasses

Currently,  Glasses Direct services only customers in the UK. Almost all eyeglasses  will arrive within four weeks, though most arrive well before that time  has elapsed. Orders may be delayed for more complex lenses such as  varifocals or if customer service must contact you about your order. The  opticians at Glasses Direct make every effort to ensure all glasses are  constructed correctly. In the event of a problem, their exchange  program is easy to use.

Adjusting your glasses

After  you receive your glasses, they may need to be adjusted to fit your  face, though most customers find that there is no need. All eyeglasses  provided by Glasses Direct are easy enough to adjust yourself. Nose  pieces can be moved with your fingers and frames can be adjusted with a  little heat from a hair dryer. However, rimless glasses are a little  more complicated to adjust, and Glasses Direct recommends that these be  sent back for adjustment.
