Our optical team can advise on the best lens height for your prescription. All frames that are compatible with varifocal lenses can be customised accordingly.

You can browse and order rectangle glasses online in the UK from Direct Sight. All frames are available with your prescription, including single vision, varifocal, and reading options. Frames can be customised into prescription sunglasses by adding sun tints, polarised or photochromic lens options.
