My restrospecced sunglasses. While they were described as showing some use they are immaculate imo. Excellent value and swift dispatch.

Super helpful team. First time buying specs, I bought the wrong thickness of lens and got a call within 30 mins offering help and saving me money on my purchase. Can't recommend enough

Sometimes it can be overwhelming when you see all the lens options, so we always monitor orders, to make sure you are choosing the best product for your script. Happy glasses wearing!!

Excellent communication throughout the process, and I'm very pleased with my two pairs of new glasses! Would definitely recommend.

Glad we managed to find the frames you were searching for. Happy glasses wearing!! Emily
Why do I have to pay to return the…
Why do I have to pay to return the glasses frames back when I’ve ordered a few for trial? That’s the whole point of this website. And then I also have to pay for the insurance when returning? Makes no sense. I will not use this website again.

Firstly, we are sorry to hear that non of the frames you ordered meet your requirements. We offer free delivery but not returns, as it is not sustainable for a small business. We recommend that you insure the parcel, as it is your responsibility until it reaches us, but that is ultimately up to you. As soon as we receive your return we will get the refund actioned. Many Thanks Emily, Retrospecced
Fantastic Service - will be using again soon
I have used Retrospecced before as there's a great selection of glasses, it's easy and convenient and best of all it's reducing waste.
The company is under new management and I was a little cautious when placing my order and emailing across with my prescription.
I cannot explain how shocked and happily surprised I was to receive my two pairs of prescription glasses the VERY NEXT DAY. Perfect lenses, amazing frames and absolutely astounding service. My hubby is going for his eye test later this week. We will definitely be ordering the new pairs of glasses from Retrospecced.
