Returns & Exchanges

We want you to be completely satisfied with your purchase. Here's what to do if something isn't right.

Frames — exchanges & returns

  • 7 days to exchange or return unworn, undamaged frames from the date of collection.
  • Frames must be in original condition with all packaging.
  • Frames fitted with prescription lenses cannot be returned once glazing has begun — please confirm your frame choice before approving lens work.
  • Frames purchased online and collected in-store can be exchanged at the practice — bring your order confirmation email.

Prescription lenses — adjustments & remakes

  • Every glazed order includes a complimentary fitting and adjustment at collection.
  • If your lenses feel uncomfortable after a 2-week adaptation period, contact us for a free re-assessment.
  • Lenses will be remade at no charge if the prescription was dispensed incorrectly on our part.
  • Remakes due to a change in your prescription or personal preference are charged at cost price.

Contact lenses

  • Unopened boxes of contact lenses in original condition may be returned within 30 days.
  • Opened boxes cannot be returned for health and safety reasons.
  • If a lens box is defective (manufacturing fault), contact us and we will arrange a replacement directly with the supplier.
