Specscart is one of the fastest-growing eyewear startups in the UK. With three physical stores in Manchester and an e-commerce website, we bring 2000+ fashionable eyewear styles made in the UK at unbeatable prices and deliver them in a record-breaking time of 24 hours.
Like superheroes, our brand also has an inspiring origin. Okay, it didn’t involve any radioactive spider bites, but it“s a lot more relatable. Our founder, Sid, broke his eyeglasses just one day before his semester exams. Wandering through Manchester City Centre in search of a replacement, he encountered only overpriced or mediocre options. The glasses he fancied were locked behind high-security displays, priced steeply at over £150. After reluctantly paying a small fortune without the chance to properly try them on, the glasses arrived—too late for his exams. Hope was lost here, but direction and purpose were found.
Sid realised that eyewear, much like shoes, should come with options that cater to different needs and occasions without breaking the bank or compromising on quality. Driven by this idea, Sid envisioned a brand where selecting glasses would be as enjoyable and straightforward as choosing a pair of shoes for different occasions—hence our tagline, “A Frame for Every Game.“
This vision gave rise to Specscart: an award-winning startup, on a mission to revolutionise the eyewear industry by changing the way people perceive glasses, from being a tool of sight correction to a sustainably made fashion accessory, that is a true joy to wear.
OUR PROMISE
At Specscart, we make a commitment to never sell anything that we wouldn’t buy ourselves. This means you receive essential upgrades like anti-glare, anti-UV, anti-scratch, and impact-resistant coatings on all glasses at no extra charge. Plus, every order comes complete with a protective case, designer cleaning cloth, cleaning solution, and a screwdriver. To ensure your vision is at its best, Specscart offers free eye tests for everyone at all our retails stores.

I don't know how they could get the lenses so wrong
I was excited to receive my first reglaze order however both lenses do not match the prescription. I uploaded my prescription and even included the original lenses in the frames which could have been checked to see how off the lenses were that they made. I can not see anything through the left lens and the right lens is blurry at best. I phoned to let them know and now i have to send them back to get checked. I don't know why they can't just make them correctly in the first instance when they have all the information required. I will await my new pair of lenses and see if they have messed up the order again. I even included a copy of my prescription in the return box with the original lenses so they surely can't get it wrong again. Disappointing experience so far. I will update my review when I receive my updated pair of lenses.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback, and for providing us with more information so that we could identify your order.
We're genuinely sorry to hear that your first reglaze experience hasn't gone as expected. We completely understand how disappointing it is to receive your glasses and feel that the vision isn't right.
We can see that you've already been in touch with our team, and your glasses are currently being returned to us so we can carry out a full inspection. This will allow us to determine exactly what has happened and make sure the appropriate next steps are taken. As soon as they've been assessed, we'll be in touch to get this resolved as quickly as possible.
We appreciate your patience and the opportunity to investigate this properly, and we hope to restore your confidence in us very soon.
Best Wishes,

I have used this company for 4 years and ordered numerous pairs of glasses as my prescription has changed. Single vision, varifocals and tinted. The service has always been fantastic and they offer real value for money. I have recently ordered a pair of varifocals with magnetic sun shades to attach and the guidance and support from Kapil was first class

Thank you for placing your trust in us over the years. That kind of continued support means a great deal.
It is always special to know that customers come back to us as their needs change, whether that is for everyday lenses, varifocals, or something a little more specific. We work hard to keep the experience personal and helpful, not just affordable, so your words really do mean a lot.
I will also make sure Kapil sees your kind mention. He will be very grateful to know his guidance made a difference.
We look forward to serving you soon.

Specscart were so helpful when my glasses needed adjusting. Replied really quickly to my email and got everything sorted. Unfortunately my glasses then got lost in the post but they sorted out a replacement pair straightaway. Also love the extra little things you get with your pair of glasses like the lens spray and the tiny screwdriver. Would definitely recommend them and would use them again

It means a lot that, even with the issue in transit, you still felt looked after. Things can occasionally go wrong outside of our control, but how we respond matters, and I’m grateful our team was able to step in quickly and make it right for you.
We also put a lot of thought into the small touches that come with each pair, so it is lovely to know they were appreciated.

Going above and beyond
With so many companies advertising online it’s difficult to know where to start but take it from me if you are looking for new glasses and a top service try this business.
I opted for a trial pack of 4 frames. In reality I was only interested in 2 but they added two others to make up the pack. In the pack also came some sample lenses and a blue light pen which was useful.
Having selected my frame I went online and ordered with varifocal lenses. Having ordered varifocal lenses and not having PD reading they sent me a trial set of glasses I ordered and instructions to take a photo so the PD could be measured. Here I encountered a problem - I realised to my horror that the frame I had ordered was the wrong one- I had made a mistake when ordering. In a panic I emailed the company explaining what I had done and whether it was possible to change the order at this stage. I got an early reply from Sai with some guidance as to how to proceed. Not quite sure that I understood I called the company on a Saturday morning and as luck would have it spoke to Sai. He was very helpful and told me to use the sample frame that I still had and take the photo with those. He told me to hang on to all the frames I still had until he confirmed the photo was ok (this took 3 attempts but probably says more about my selfie taking).
Once he confirmed the photo was ok he also confirmed he had changed the order for me. My glasses arrived on Saturday and I am delighted with them. A week exactly after sending through my photo.
This company seems to truly care about their customers. They could quite easily have stood their ground when I made a mistake but they couldn’t have been more helpful.
Quality is excellent and price was substantially cheaper than my previous opticians who I had been with for over 30 years.
I would wholeheartedly recommend this business. Thank you Sai for making this process so straight forward

Thank you for such a generous and detailed review. It really does mean a lot.
Buying varifocals online can feel like a big step, especially the first time, so we have always felt it is our responsibility to make the process feel clear, supported and human at every stage. The little details, from the trial frames to the measurement guidance, are there because we want customers to feel confident rather than left to figure things out alone.
I am especially grateful for your kind words about Sai. He takes a lot of pride in helping customers properly, and I know he will really appreciate knowing that his support made the experience easier for you.
Thank you again for giving us the opportunity to look after you.
We look forward to serving you soon.

I have bought from specscart several…
I have bought from specscart several times now, and I have to say, its great value, BUT as they get bigger the systems are not keeping pace.
On two recent orders there were errors, the first time they sent me specs which were long and I requested (clearly) short.... they rectified at no cost, good, bar the delay (not long mind)
On the last order I wanted a direct repeat of the previous order prescription wise, but with reaction lenses... sounds simple, doesn't it. unfortunately not so simple, lots of back and forth, different prices Vs what I could get them for if I entered the order myself on their website, being notified they were sending me frames to try on so they could measure my pupils etc as they did the previous time (which, be warned is not simple, 10+ photos later they were still not satisfied enough to make the lenses, maybe my cameraship mind !), when the frames were exactly the same (bar colour so not required obviously)...
I think whats going on here is this, for new customers its simple, for existing customers, its not so simple, you have to do all the same as a new customer would, fine if you have a revised prescription, but if you dont, then it needs to be simpler...a simple would you like the same prescription as X order box would solve this straight away...
I wholly understand the risk of error, I really do, but some thought needs to be given to ease of use for existing customers... it's very nearly put me off buying again, not quite, but if I had the same issue again, I would likely give up and go elsewhere.
So my advice to anyone is use these guys, they are good....BUT my advice to the company is before you spend fortunes on youtube ads (which are good ads), sort out the process for existing customers.

Hi Simon,
Thank you so much for taking the time to leave such a thoughtful and constructive review.
Firstly, we really do appreciate your continued custom and the trust you’ve placed in us over several orders. We’re genuinely grateful that, even after the issues you’ve experienced, you’ve still taken the time to recognise the value we offer and recommend us to others.
That said, we’re really sorry that your recent orders have not been as straightforward as they should have been. As we grow, it’s so important that our systems and processes grow with us, and your feedback is a very fair reminder of that.
We’ve recently invested a lot of time and work into improving our lens checkout and internal order systems, so it is disappointing to hear that the process still felt more complicated than it needed to be in your case. Your point about making repeat orders easier for existing customers is especially helpful, and it’s exactly the kind of feedback we need to look at carefully.
We completely understand what you mean about balancing accuracy with convenience. Getting the prescription and measurements right will always be important, but we also need to make sure loyal returning customers are not being asked to go through unnecessary steps if the details are already available.
Please be assured that your feedback has been taken on board and will be shared with the team as we continue improving the experience for existing customers.
Thank you again for supporting us as we grow. We know that your feedback has been provided to us from a place of care, and we don’t take that for granted. We will continue to work hard to deliver the very best to our valuable customers, and feedback such as yours is greatly appreciated.
Best wishes,
Team Specscart
Efficient, rapid, low cost, and fantastic quality
I've been using specscart for years, and have always been staggered by the value, quality, and incredibly high service. I've recommended them to everyone I know who needs new glasses - making eyecare efficient, rapid, and low cost, whilst not compromising on quality, means they're really giving overpriced high street opticians a run for their money!

It is always a shame when perfectly good frames are written off too quickly, so I’m really pleased we were able to help you keep a pair you already loved and make them useful again. Reglazing is something we care a lot about, especially when it gives customers a more sensible and affordable option.
I also appreciate your kind words about the communication throughout. We will be more than happy to look after your other pair when you are ready.

Hi Anthony,
Thank you for sharing your feedback.
We’re sorry this gave that impression, as sustainability is something we genuinely care about. Our packaging is designed to be recyclable, and the magnetic closure is used to help keep the glasses properly protected while in transit.
That said, we completely understand your point, and we appreciate you raising it. We are always reviewing how we can improve our packaging further while still making sure orders arrive safely and in good condition.
We also continue to support sustainability in other ways, including accepting old frames from customers so they can be recycled rather than going to waste.
Thank you again for taking the time to share your thoughts.
Best Wishes,
