Great prices
Great prices, superb selection to choose from and excellent communication.
Excellent value, well worth buying
I bought frames only and it was perfect and lovely. The design is top notch and the frames look great, even better than the brand names designer frames that I have. Thanks, I will be visiting your site again for more selections.
Good Quality and Good Value
I had some problems with the web site when entering my prescription details but the glasses are of good quality and good value for money.

The glasses they made were.not suitable as they made me lose my balance when I told them about this problem they were very unhelpful .They offered to remake the glasses but l would have to pay the original price again.I would not use this company again
Poor customer service
Poor customer service, also they won’t give you a refund even if they have made your lenses wrong. However, to fix them they will charge you more. Despite the nice frames they have. The company is poor, I would avoid.

Yet another good experience with LCG
Yet another good experience with LCG. They're quick, attentive with a huge choice and the price is good too.
Great service
Great service, clear instructions on the website, speedy delivery with updates, very pleased with my new glasses and keenly priced as well, many thanks.
varifocals which were useless
Made me some varifocals which were useless except for distance vision intermediate and close up were no good at all I complained to them and they re-made them but the second pair were even worse than the the 1st ones so it took about 2 months to just waste a lot of money they are ok for ordinary distance glasses but not varifocals but they used to be okay before they shut down a few years ago I think somebody else must have bought the name and re opened the business
Excellent service
Excellent service, recommended by a family member and very pleased with my glasses. Will be purchasing a couple of 'spares' soon! Thank you
First time using this company
First time using this company. I was very impressed with the quality & price of my glasses. Communication with the team was excellent. I made a mistake on colour of frame & to get it changed was no problem.
I most certainly would recommend low cost glasses to my family & friends.
Great glasses and great customer service
I ordered varifocals from Low Cost Glasses in December 2024. I was a bit daunted about ordering online, although the option to virtually “try on” different frames was very helpful. I’m very grateful to the customer service staff who checked my prescription and who were prompt and patient in responding to my questions. The glasses arrived within a couple of weeks and are perfect and excellent value for money, especially as I needed to upgrade the lenses due to the strength of my prescription. I’d definitely order again in the future.
Very happy eyes
Arrived three weeks after I ordered my new distance and reading glasses both are excellent. They perfect my vision after having two cataracts done. Very happy with these, particularly considering the price. I have just ordered to more pairs with different frames.
Extremely poor customer service
Ordered a pair of varifocals, took ages to arrive. It has some flaws in lenses, and I cannot wear these glasses continuously for more than an hour being poorly designed, though I ordered their premium range . I am a regular user of varifocals glasses. Raised this issue with LCG customer service and even after the laps of many weeks, no response from them as yet. Avoid this company at all costs.
SLOW Production and Delivery
Promises of reasonable delivery time comprehensively broken. Wow! Is this really happening in the ultra-advanced high-tech UK?
Ordered on the 6th of December and registered on their website as "In production," almost immediately. Was that a lie? It is now the 22nd of December - and the status is unchanged.
Is there usually a rush on glasses for Christmas, or is this an inept company? Perhaps I should order my Santa glasses for next year...
Bought a pair but within 3 months the…
Bought a pair but within 3 months the arm came off. I thought maybe it was a one off so ordered a second pair. The same happened again within 3 months.Was informed that I couldn’t not get a refund as been 3 months or slightly over. They only broke on the 3rd month-maybe faulty/design fault. I got offed 40% off for a pair which I am declining. Really disappointed. I ordered the glasses as was hoping to save cash compared to other places and no have to pay put £50 for repairs somewhere else. Avoid at all costs. I will not order from here again, rip off.
lowcostglasses.co.uk ripoff
Two years ago lowcost glasses sent me a pair of unusable unfocused glasses and when I returned them they put it wright. Skip forward 2 years, ordered glasses again thinking previous experience may be a one off? Not a chance! Exactly same issue again. This time there arguing and will not help. I ordered a pair of glasses from selectspecs at the same period and same prescription as lowcost, they arrived over a week earlier than lowcost and they where perfect.
I also think given the cost of the postage with no tracking option during delivery?? Is a rip off and there making profit from postage. The cost of the item weight and size is well over priced from my checks!
I believe they are sending out unfinished and unmanaged lenses in the hope that some may not complain given the cost. Whilst also making profit from the delivery which should never be the case!
If you don't want the pain in the head of dealing with these people for what are also very flimsy plastic frames and terrible quality? I would seriously heed my words.
I will go on fighting to get my refund and return tese unusable glasses and will go back to selectspecs for my second pair.
By from lowcost? Waisted your money waiste your time, you have been warned.
