Prescription Lenses
A Guide to our lenses
We offer a full range of prescription lenses and services, whether you require optical glasses for helping you read the fine print, or your spectacles are the first thing you put on in the morning and the last thing you take off at night.
Sun lenses
Most wearers of spectacles wear them all day, every day. For those of us fortunate to be in sunnier climes the same can be said for Sunglasses. We want your frames to more than compensate for the inconvenience of short or longsightedness, not only in comfort and functionality, but also style. Eyewear is an instant style enhancer, and today we offer our archival, iconic designs with our personalisation lens service.
