There’s a lot of numbers and letters on an eye test prescription, so to help you understand the jargon we’ve put togther a guide. Click here to view the guide.
What do I do if I think my prescription is wrong?
If you're getting regular headaches or your vision is blurry when you wear your glasses, you should definitely book to have your eyes tested again. In some instances your eyes will just need time to adjust if you have, within the past 2 weeks, changed to a new prescription. However if you experience any dizziness with blurry vision you should book before 2 weeks.
What are single vision lenses?
Single vision lenses are as simple as the name, one prescription across the whole lens. They are for individuals who are short or long sighted and are also for those who have astigmatism.
What are multifocal lenses?
Multifocal lenses are as the name suggests, multiple prescriptions across one complete lens. This enables the wearer to see at varying distances, but only have one pair of glasses.
How can I reduce the glare from artificial lights when driving?
There are specific lenses designed to help minimise the effects of night glare. Find out more about our range of driving lenses here.
What frames will look best on me?

How long until I receive my glasses?

What is PD and how do I measure it?
