• Frequently asked questions

    Find answers to common queries about our eyewear, prescriptions, ordering process, shipping, and returns. We’re here to make your shopping experience seamless—if you need further assistance, feel free to contact us.

    • What counts as personalised or made to order?

      Personalised or made-to-order items include prescription glasses, lenses made to your prescription, reglazed glasses, prescription sunglasses and any frame fitted with prescription lenses. These items are made or adapted for you personally, so they cannot usually be resold.

    • Who pays for return postage?

      If you are returning a non-personalised item because you have changed your mind, you are responsible for the return postage. We recommend using a tracked and insured service, as the item remains your responsibility until it reaches us safely.

    • Can I return reglazed lenses?

      No. Reglazed lenses are made to your prescription and fitted into your own frame, so they are classed as personalised. They cannot be returned or refunded because you have changed your mind, unless they are faulty, damaged or incorrect.

    • Can I return prescription glasses if I change my mind?

      No. Glasses fitted with prescription lenses are made specifically for you, so they cannot be returned or refunded because you have changed your mind. This does not affect your legal rights if the glasses are faulty, damaged, incorrect or not as described.

    • Can I order several frames to try at home and return the ones I don’t want?

      No. Please only order items you want to buy. We are a small, family-run business and many frames are ordered specifically against customer purchases. If you are unsure about size, fit or style, please contact us before ordering and we’ll help you choose the best option.

    • What sets Specsathome apart from the others?

      Our unique Mobile Optical Service allows you to browse and try on a wide range of frames in the comfort of your own home. This personalised approach, combined with our expertise and extensive collection, sets us apart from traditional high-street experience.

    • How does Specsathome ensure quality in its products?

      Quality is at the heart of everything we do. We invest in state-of-the-art machinery and stock high-quality lenses to craft your glasses. Our collection includes carefully selected frames from renowned designers, ensuring that we offer only the best to our customers.

    • What variety of eyewear does Specsathome offer?

      We offer a diverse range of eyewear to suit all tastes and needs, including the latest in fashion eyewear and branded lenses. From stylish Single Vision glasses to advanced Varifocals, and even chic Sunglasses, our collection caters to a wide spectrum of visual requirements and style preferences.

    • Can I get my glasses on the same day?

      Yes, you can! I understand the urgency that can sometimes accompany eyewear needs. Our same-day service for most single vision spectacles ensures you get your glasses promptly without compromising on quality.

    • What makes Specsathome ideal for first-time varifocal users?

      For those new to Varifocals, our expert guidance makes the transition smooth and comfortable. I offer personalised consultations to help you choose the best varifocal lenses for your needs, ensuring a seamless adaptation to your new glasses.

    • How does the return and refund policy work at Specsathome?

      We offer a 30-day money-back guarantee for any manufacturing defects. Simply return the glasses in their original packaging to our address, and I will process your refund upon inspection of the returned item.

    • What is the process for booking an appointment with Specsathome?

      Booking an appointment is easy! Visit our website or call us directly to schedule a visit. Our Mobile Optical Service will then bring our eyewear collection to your chosen location, be it your home or office, at a time that's convenient for you.
