Prescription Advice

What Do I Need To Order Online?

Before you order from Sunglasses Direct, you need to have an upto date copy of your prescription. This means you require a prescription taken from an eye test within the last 24 months*. If you do not have a prescription from within this time period, or have never had an eye test we would recommend that you have a professional eye test from any qualified optician in the UK. After your eye test is complete, the Optician will and is obliged to by UK law to issue you with a prescription tailered to you based on their examination.
