Why has buying prescription glasses online become so popular?

We’ve all been there right? You’ve had your eye test and now you are looking at the underwhelming range of glasses that the opticians have available in the store – what to do now? Take a copy of your prescription and leave, or end up buying an overpriced pair of glasses from the optician with a pair of frames that you don’t even like…


There has to be a better way – of course there is!

The New Way to Buy Glasses

According to market research, the number of people buying their prescription glasses online will double in the next 5 years.


Just like buying insurance, cars or even houses – more and more people are now buying their prescription glasses (and sunglasses) online rather than in traditional high street opticians.

As one of the UK’s leading online glasses retailer we decided to survey our customers and ask them why they decided to buy their prescription glasses online rather than in a high street optician.
