Direct Sight is a leading supplier of cheap prescription glasses in the UK. We offer a range of cheap frames but also frequently offer cheap glasses deals.

Are cheap prescription glasses online actually good quality?

We understand that 'cheap' can carry the wrong connotation for something as important as your eyesight.

When you buy glasses on the high street, a significant portion of what you pay covers the cost of the shop. Prime retail space, large teams, and the overheads of running a physical store. By selling online we do not have the costs associated with a high street store.

All our lenses and frames meet the same optical standards required by any registered optician in the UK. Every pair comes with a 365 day guarantee and a scratch guarantee on the lenses. If you scratch your lenses within the first year, we'll replace them for free.

Our prices are low because of how we sell, not because of how we make. We don’t advertise ourselves as selling the cheapest glasses online in the UK. Our priority is maintaining exceptional quality without compromise. However, we always strive to offer our customers the best possible value at a competitive price.

Do cheap prescription glasses include lenses?

Yes. We fit standard single vision prescription lenses free with every frame. Upgrades are available at additional costs.

These include varifocal lenses, bifocals, thin lens materials and various coatings (scratch resistant coating and anti reflective coating). Full details are on our lenses page.

Can I order cheap varifocal glasses online in the UK?

Yes, we offer cheap varifocal glasses online with custom lens options such as lens coatings and thinner upgrades available. Our cheap varifocal glasses online give you clear vision correction at a fraction of high street prices.

Are cheap prescription glasses suitable for strong prescriptions?

Yes. We cater for a wide range of prescriptions. For strong prescriptions, we'd recommend considering high index lenses as an upgrade. They are thinner and lighter than standard lenses, making them more comfortable and a better appearance in stronger prescriptions.

Do you offer blue light glasses?

Yes. Blue light filtering can be added to prescription lenses at checkout. We also sell non prescription blue light glasses if you don't require a prescription correction but want to reduce eye strain from screens.

Can I use an old prescription?

No. We can only process your order with a valid prescription that's no more than two years old. Your vision changes over time. With regular eye tests you can be confident your new glasses will give you the best possible vision.

What if I make a mistake with my prescription?

If you spot an error before we've started making your glasses, contact us straight away and we'll correct it at no charge. If your glasses have already been made and dispatched with an incorrect prescription that you supplied, don't panic. We offer a one time free replacement where we will remake the lenses with the correct prescription so you're not left out of pocket.

How long does delivery take?

We custom-make every order, so delivery times depend on the lens type. Most single vision orders are dispatched within 2 to 4 working days. Varifocal and bifocal lenses can take a little longer. We'll keep you updated by email throughout.

Can I return my glasses?

Yes. We offer a 30 day returns policy on all frames. Every order is backed by our 100% satisfaction guarantee. If something isn't right, get in touch and we'll sort it out.

Why are online prescription glasses cheaper than buying from the high street opticians?

Glasses online from Direct Sight are often more affordable we do not have the same overhead costs as physical stores. By manufacturing in house and selling directly to customers, we can offer budget prescription glasses at significantly lower prices.

Do you offer prescription sunglasses?

Yes. You can add a tinted or polarised lens to any of our glasses frames to create prescription sunglasses. We also offer photochromic lenses, which darken automatically in sunlight. A particularly practical choice if you'd rather not carry two separate pairs.
