► Is it easy for me to order glasses from internetspecs.co.uk? PRESCRIPTION GLASSES ► I see that you offer free 1.6 anti-reflection (AR) lenses. What other kind of lenses can you supply? OTHER QUESTIONS
Yes. You simply need to select which frames you like from our choice of hundreds, enter your prescription, choose which lenses you'd like and tell us whether you need the glasses for distance, reading or computer use. On every frame page of the website, we've provided 'Help' sections if you need any further assistance. See an example on this page. You can also contact us by telephone or by email through our 'Contact Us' page if you need any extra help.
Your prescription should be given to you at the end of your eye examination by the optician. If not, simply ask the optician who tested your eyes to supply it. Legally, he/she must give you the prescription. ▲ Back to Top

PRESCRIPTION GLASSES
What are single vision lenses? Single vision lenses are designed for the majority of people who wear glasses. They have the same strength (power) all over each lens (as opposed to bifocals and varifocals: see the questions just below). All of the frames that we sell on internetspecs.co.uk are only available with single vision lenses. Can you do varifocal glasses? No, we don't do varifocal glasses. ▲ Back to Top Are your lenses hard coated? Can you put new lenses into my current frames? Yes, we can. We offer a very competitively priced lens replacement service (known as a 'reglaze'). Please visit our lens replacement (reglaze) page here. ▲ Back to Top ▲ Back to Top Are you lenses made from glass or plastic? All of our lenses are plastic because they're lighter and safer than glass lenses. ▲ Back to Top I play a lot of sport. Can you supply tougher lenses? Yes, we supply 1.59 Anti-Reflection Coated Polycarbonate lenses. Polycarbonate is used in riot shields and is very strong. We also supply 1.53 Anti-Reflection Coated Trivex lenses. They have the same strength as Polycarbonate lenses but are even more lightweight and have slightly sharper vision, although they aren't as thin as the higher index 1.59 Polycarbonate lenses are. ▲ Back to Top Will I need to send a copy of my prescription to you? No, there's no need to send us a copy as you can enter your prescription into our form that's on every frame page that we have on our website. If you prefer to send us your prescription, you can easily upload it to us on each frame page or you can email it to us later through our contact us page. ▲ Back to Top What can I do if my prescription is outside of any numerical range you have on your website? Most lenses which are outside of any numerical range we have on our website are specially surfaced lenses which will mean an extra cost to the order. Please contact us through our 'Contact Us' page, detailing your prescription, and we'll get back to you concerning the extra cost. ▲ Back to Top Do you supply contact lenses or solutions? No. ▲ Back to Top Can I use my contact lenses prescription to order glasses from internetspecs.co.uk? No, you can't use a contact lens prescription. It is quite often different from the spectacle prescription. ▲ Back to Top Do all of your lenses cut out ultraviolet (UV) light?
Yes, you can order non-prescription 'dummy' lenses that come without prescription lenses. 'Dummy' lenses are low quality plastic lenses that can easily be taken out and replaced. You may want to order dummy lenses if you'd like to have bifocals or varifocals from elsewhere (as we don't offer bifocals or varifocals at internetspecs.co.uk). In the lens options dropdown menu on any one of our frame pages (example page here), please simply select 'Frame Only'. ▲ Back to Top Do you do prescription glasses for children? No, we don't. ▲ Back to Top On my prescription, I have a PRISM measurement but I don't see anywhere to put this on your website form. What can I do? We can do lenses with Prisms but you'll need to get in touch with us through our 'Contact Us' page. We'll then reply to you. There will be an additional charge for prisms. ▲ Back to Top I don't have a CYL or AXIS figure on my prescription. Does this matter? No, it doesn't matter if you don't have a CYL or AXIS figure on your prescription. For more information on this, please see the, 'Help with your Prescription' section on any one of our frame pages. ▲ Back to Top Can you read my prescription off my current pair of glasses? Unfortunately, due to covid-19 restrictions, we're currently unable to accept your glasses to check your prescription from them. ▲ Back to Top Why do you not supply 1.5 or 1.56 lenses? The 1.6 lenses that we offer for free are thinner and lighter than 1.5 and 1.56 lenses. If you specifically want us to make your glasses with 1.5 or 1.56 lenses, please tell us this in the 'Any Additional Information' box that you'll see on all of our frame pages. ▲ Back to Top I've entered my prescription incorrectly into your form. What can I do? Please get in touch with us through our 'Contact Us' page as soon as possible after you realize that you've made a mistake. We will hope to be able to change the lenses. ▲ Back to Top

No, at the moment, we're not accepting NHS vouchers. ▲ Back to Top How can your prices be so low? We have low overheads so we don't need to have our prices high. We're confident we have some of the lowest prices on the web.
