Buy Prescription Glasses

Selecting the right glasses frames is about both function and style. Consider your face shape, prescription strength, lifestyle, preferred material and the frame size and fit.

Lightweight titanium frames are ideal for all day comfort, while acetate frames offer bold colours and patterns. Rimless glasses provide a subtle, minimalist look, while full-rim frames make a stronger style statement.

When shopping for prescription spectacles online, comfort and correct fit are just as important as appearance, when finding the perfect pair.

Prescription glasses are suitable for correcting a range of common vision conditions, including short sightedness (myopia), long sightedness (hyperopia), astigmatism and presbyopia. Having an eye test will determine if you need glasses.

We supply:

• Distance glasses, for driving and everyday distance vision
• Reading glasses, for close up tasks and small print
• Computer glasses, for reducing eye strain on computer screen
• Varifocal or bifocal glasses, clear vision at multiple distances in one pair

Prescription glasses provide tailored vision correction for your individual eyesight needs.

The best frames complement your natural features. Round and oval faces suit angular shapes such as rectangular or square frames. Square faces are softened by round or oval styles. Heart-shaped faces are flattered by bottom-heavy frames or rimless styles.
