Our Laboratory

We prepare our lenses using the same processes, technology and suppliers as those employed by high street opticians.

"Our only compromise is on price, NOT quality"

All orders are handled individually by experienced and skilled technicians at a laboratory with over 25 years experience of supplying high quality prescription glasses to opticians.From receipt of your prescription, through every stage of the production process to despatch of your finished glasses, our laboratories use the latest computer technology to check the accuracy and quality of our work. That means you can feel secure in the knowledge that what you order is what you will get.
