How to Get Your Prescription

A Guide to Obtaining Your Prescription.

You will need a prescription from an optician to purchase any prescription glasses from any glasses retailer, including Glasses2You - However, we also provide non-prescription lenses for our frames if they are needed.

When purchasing prescription glasses from our online store, you will be prompted to enter the prescription from your optician. Unfortunately, without this information, we will be unable to provide you with prescription glasses as it is important to ensure your vision is accurately corrected.

If you have your prescription, head on over to our glasses selection to browse our range of frames.

But don’t worry, obtaining your prescription is as easy as having your eyes tested. Find out more about your prescription and getting your eyes tested below.

Getting Your Eyes Tested

Regular eye tests are the best way to stay on top of your eye health and better understand the condition of your eyesight while obtaining the most up-to-date prescription for your eyesight.

If you have not had your eyes tested in the past 2 years (1 year if over 70 years young) then it is highly recommended that you visit your local optician for a check-up. The updated prescription you receive from your optician will rectify any issues with your eyesight. Eye exams are also essential in maintaining your eye health, as they can detect early signs of eye diseases, such as glaucoma and cataracts.

On completion of your eye test your optician is legally required to provide you with a prescription if you need one, although you aren’t obliged to purchase glasses from them. This gives you the freedom to purchase your glasses from anywhere you like and means you can compare prices to find the best deals for you.

Once You Have Your Prescription

Once you have your prescription you will be able to purchase your new pair of prescription glasses from us - the more up-to-date the prescription the better.

Simply pick out a frame you like, choose the lens pack you want, provide us with your prescription and your new glasses will be delivered right to your door. Find out how to provide us with your prescription.

Add a Little Extra to Your Frames

Once you have found a frame you like, we have a selection of extras that can be added to your lenses to make the most of your new glasses.

Lens packs are one of our most popular extras. These contain a combination of additions that can improve the way your glasses look and feel, they are particularly useful for lenses with stronger prescriptions.

A stronger prescription usually requires a thicker lens, however, our lens packs can be used to reduce the thickness of your glasses lenses to help make your glasses lighter and more attractive.
