Frequently Asked Questions

  • Yes, so long as the eye test was done recently, then we can supply you with prescription glasses.   However, we generally advise that if your current prescription is over 6 months old, then it is best to have a new eye test done so that any possible changes in your vision can be allowed for.

  • After the eye test has be done, we try to deliver glasses 2-3 weeks after being ordered.
