Absolutely. Direct Sight has been a family optical business since 1960, with over 40,000 reviews on Trustpilot. Every pair is glazed and quality-checked by qualified technicians in our own UK laboratory in Amersham, Buckinghamshire, which you're welcome to visit in person.

Prescription glasses (also called optical glasses) correct vision problems so you can see clearly at different distances. The lenses are made to your optician's prescription to correct short-sightedness (myopia), long-sightedness (hyperopia) and astigmatism.

Every order is covered by our 30 day returns policy and 100% satisfaction guarantee. If anything isn't right we'll put it straight, with a free reglaze, an exchange or a full refund, whichever you prefer.

You'll need a valid prescription to order. Prescriptions are usually valid for two years from the date of your eye test, if yours has expired, please book a sight test with a registered optician before ordering.

Our standard prescription glasses cater for prescriptions up to +/-8.00 sphere and +/-4.00 cylinder. We can make stronger prescriptions outside this range for an additional £30.

Right here. Because we make everything in our own UK lab with no middleman, our frames start from just £9 a pair, and popular styles run from £29 to £59 including free single-vision lenses.

Use the filters for colour, material and shape to narrow things down, then try our fit finder by entering the measurements from a pair you already own. Think about your lifestyle too, blue-light or anti-reflective coatings for screens, for example, and our team is always happy to advise.

Choose your frame, then customise your lenses at checkout. The easiest way is to attach a photo of your prescription to your order. Our UK team checks every one by hand before we glaze it.

Yes, our reglaze service is perfect for this. From just £19 we'll fit fresh prescription lenses into frames you already own and love.

Of course. Our friendly, knowledgeable UK team is on hand to help, just call 01494 307 345, Monday to Friday, 10am–4pm.
