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.

Slick process and superb result
The acquisition process from start to finish is straightforward and customer focused, which I truly appreciate. I could not be happier with my varifocal specs. Brilliant, thank you.

Thank you, Jamie, for giving Specscart a try and for taking the time to share your experience.
It's especially rewarding to know we made a strong first impression. We want every part of the journey, from trying frames at home to receiving the finished glasses, to feel simple, quick and thoughtfully put together. I'm delighted the presentation and the little extras stood out just as much as your new glasses.
We really appreciate your support and look forward to welcoming you back.
We look forward to serving you soon.

Easy on line ordering of samples to try at home. Totally cost free. Returns envelope included in package. Ordering is a simple affair (you can upload your prescription if you want to rather than write it down). Choice of sample lenses included in package. Had to send photo of me wearing the chosen pair of glasses, so don't send back the box until you receive confirmation your order has been approved! Nice easy people to talk to on the phone. What's not to like.
Update: New glasses have arrived. My 1st pair of varifocals and very happy with the result. Adjusted to them in no time at all. Arrived in sturdy (reusable) box, cleaning fluid, case, cloth and prescription printed on a credit card to keep. Overall a very good experience and would happily recommend and use again.

We designed the home trial to take as much uncertainty out of buying glasses online as possible, so it is wonderful to know you found the whole process clear, convenient and well supported. Whether it's the prescription upload, the measurement checks or simply being able to speak to someone when needed, we want every step to feel straightforward and personal.

I'm delighted the reglazing process felt simple from start to finish and that we could help you keep a pair of frames you already loved. Giving customers a high-quality, cost-effective alternative to replacing perfectly good frames is something we care strongly about.
Your recommendation means a great deal to us, and we look forward to helping you again in the future.

My first experience with specscart so slightly apprehensive. The website and buying process was simple and easy to understand so I sat back and waited.
Absolutely delighted when specs arrived. Nicely presented and packed, lens cleaner a thoughtful touch. I'd have no hesitation in recommending to friends and family and will use them again.

Going the extra mile when it really matters is something we're incredibly passionate about, so it's wonderful to know the team was able to help get everything to you in time. I'll make sure Tamsin sees your kind words—they'll mean a great deal to her.

Nice shaped glasses. Lightweight and a good fit. In my opinion, value for money, The amber lens is very relaxing on the eye.

It's lovely to hear you've found a pair that feels just right. Comfort is just as important as style, so knowing the fit, lightweight feel and amber lenses have all made a positive difference is incredibly rewarding.
We believe great eyewear should be something you enjoy wearing every day, and we're delighted your new glasses have lived up to that expectation.
We look forward to serving you soon.

I’ve worn varifocals for a number of years and bought these from various high street opticians. The glasses from Specscart were half the price so I thought I’d give them a try. Totally impressed by the service; the communications were timely and kept me up to date at each stage of the process and the quality is great (and I choose frames from the lower price range as I didn’t know what to expect). I will not hesitate to use Specscart again.

Reply from Specscart.
Choosing to try somewhere new, especially for varifocals, takes a leap of faith, so it's incredibly rewarding to know we exceeded your expectations. We've always believed that premium eyewear and attentive service shouldn't come with a premium price tag, and it's wonderful to hear that came through in your experience.
Knowing you'd happily choose us again is the greatest endorsement we could ask for. Thank you for giving Specscart the opportunity to earn your trust.
We look forward to serving you soon.

Taking the leap to order varifocals online can feel like a big decision, so it's especially rewarding to know we were able to make that experience feel straightforward and reassuring. We believe clear communication is just as important as the glasses themselves, particularly when customers are trying something new.
Thank you for placing your trust in us. We're delighted your new varifocals have lived up to your expectations.

I contacted specscart for advice
I contacted specscarts chat line before placing an order for a re lens on a specific pair of sunglasses. I was able to speak to a brilliant advisor in Kapil. I had explained the time frame in which I needed the lens replacement and Kapil went above and beyond to try to accommodate me. Honestly the most helpful and efficient service I have received of any company ever. Thanks.

Knowing we could give you the confidence to place your order after that first conversation is incredibly rewarding. We believe great customer service starts long before an order is placed, especially when someone needs advice or is working to a tight deadline.
I'll make sure Kapil sees your kind words. Going the extra mile for our customers is something he cares deeply about, and I'm delighted he was able to make such a positive difference to your experience.
Thank you for putting your trust in Specscart. Your feedback means a great deal to the entire team.

Beautiful frames for small lenses
Just classic, beautiful and good quality frames which I have not been able to find in stores. I am not a fan of frames for big lenses which have been in for a while now. Very happy that I can always find them here.

Finding the right frames should never mean following the latest trend, so it’s wonderful to know we’ve been able to offer exactly what you’ve been looking for. We believe everyone deserves a choice that suits their own style, and we’re delighted that our collection continues to be a place you can rely on for timeless designs.
Thank you for your continued support. It means a great deal to know you’ve found a home for frames that truly suit you.
We look forward to serving you soon.

The services was great yet again. A pair of glasses i had ordered had been rejected on the final check. I had good communication from Specscart , I selected another pair and my order was sent out very quickly.

It's always rewarding to welcome back returning customers, and we're grateful you've chosen to place your trust in us again. While it's never ideal for a pair not to pass our final quality checks, we'd much rather catch something before it reaches you than compromise on the standards we set ourselves.
I'm pleased the team kept you informed throughout and helped get everything back on track quickly. Thank you for your continued support, it really does mean a great deal to all of us.

I will be raving about Specscart after this purchase
Recently bought two pairs of single vision specs for reading and screen use, and boy have they upped their game!
Previously used them and was very happy, but now my specs arrive in premium packaging with a very nice slim hard-case, cleaning cloth, bottle of lens cleaning solution and micro screwdriver tool you can hang on a keyring.
The specs are perfect; given my very strong prescription (one pair goes up to +10.7) and severe astigmatism, they have managed to keep the lenses very thin and at <£100 for both pairs they were exceptionally good value.
It's rare that I'm so impressed with a retail experience, particularly when it comes to my eye-wear, but I will be raving about Specscart after this purchase.

Knowing we've been able to deliver comfortable, high-quality eyewear for a prescription as complex as yours is especially rewarding. Our team takes great pride in making great vision accessible without eye-watering prices, and hearing that we've exceeded your expectations means the world to us.
The biggest compliment of all is knowing you'll be telling others about your experience. Thank you for your trust, your support, and for taking the time to share such generous feedback.
