Is it safe to buy glasses online?
Of course safe. Buying prescription glasses online is as safe as buying other products online if the product is purchased from a reputable and trustworthy retailer. Understandably, purchasing a custom made product such as "prescription glasses" online is a bit more complicated than buying a regular "off the shelf". But we assure you that our products are delivered to the highest standards.

In order to buy prescription glasses, you need to get your prescription, and if you don't have a prescription, either you don't need glasses or you haven't had an eye test recently. If you have not had an eye test within the last two years, we strongly recommend that you visit your local optician to have one checked. Not only can this check provide you with a prescription, but it can also be considered a general health check.

What if you had an eye exam but your optician didn't give you a prescription because they were worried you wouldn't buy their glasses?

The UK Optician Act, enacted in 1989, stipulates that it is the responsibility of each optician to provide you with a prescription. An optician will do a full eye exam and then provide you with a personal copy of your prescription, as required by law.
The spherical value means how strongly the lens needs to correct your focus - a positive number corrects your farsightedness (hyperopia - difficulty seeing close objects), and a negative number corrects your nearsightedness (nearsightedness - difficulty seeing distant objects).

Spherical values are measured in diopters, and your prescription may have the word "plano" or an "infinity" symbol, which means you are neither nearsighted nor farsighted, you have zero spherical values, but you may have astigmatism - you has the words "CYL" and "AXIS" in the prescription. Typically values range from 0.00 to +/- 20.00 in increments of 0.25.
