About Us
Who are WantGlasses.co.uk?
WantGlasses.co.uk are a team of experienced optometrists, dispensing opticians and laboratory technicians, offering customers the choice of buying their prescription glasses online at low prices.
What experience has WantGlasses.co.uk got in the industry?
WantGlasses.co.uk has been developed from a traditional family optician's business that has been operating since 1902. Our expert staff holds relevant qualifications as well as having professional experience in High Street multiples.
Why are your prices so low?
We can offer the best deals on glasses by operating as an online shop without the added costs of High Street property prices. This reduces our overheads and we can then pass these savings back to our customers in the form of lower prices.
Are the frames the same quality as the High Street? Yes. Our prescription glasses are exactly the same quality as those you see in High Street shops, purchased from the same suppliers.
Do you have your own laboratories?
Yes. Our laboratories work to government approved standards.
Why does my optician discourage me from buying online?
Your optician may discourage you from buying online because they will not profit from a sale if you buy elsewhere. Glasses sold in high street opticians often come with a 1,000% mark up! There is no reason why you should buy in-store as all the information we need to produce a perfect pair of glasses for you should be contained on your prescription. Don't feel obliged to buy prescription glasses from your opticians.
