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.

Great product, great service, great value
Ordering was easy and despite missing the 4pm deadline my glasses were dispatched by about 11:30 the next day. Royal Mail got them to me within 24 hours. I am very impressed with the quality of the frames and the coatings on the "fully loaded" lenses do a great job of controlling glare. I can thoroughly recommend both the product and the service.

It’s wonderful to hear that both the service and the glasses exceeded expectations. We work incredibly hard to deliver orders quickly, but never at the expense of quality, so knowing you received your glasses so promptly and were impressed with the finished product means a lot.
I’m especially pleased the lens coatings stood out. A great pair of glasses should make everyday life more comfortable, and reducing glare effectively is one of those details that can make a real difference.
Thank you for your recommendation and for taking the time to share such thoughtful feedback.
We look forward to serving you soon.

Amazing experience at Specscart…
Amazing experience at Specscart Walkden. My Dad has vascular dementia and had broken his glasses. His only hobby is to read and unfortunately, he broke his reading glasses and his usual optician had a 3-4 week turnaround. I visited Specscart and a gentleman called Paul was the the most accommodating and pleasant man I have ever come across. He understood the urgency for Dad to have new glasses, went above and beyond to do everything he could to help the situation and said he would mark as urgent, but could take a week. This was totally acceptable, but I was totally shocked when they rang to say they were ready to collect after 24 hours. The most amazing customer service, this store goes totally above and beyond and I highly recommend this opticians to everyone. Paul you are an absolute star and a credit to your profession

Reading this was genuinely moving. Glasses are never just glasses when they help someone stay connected to the things they love, and it’s easy to understand why getting your dad back to reading as quickly as possible was so important.
What makes me especially proud is hearing how Paul approached the situation. Empathy, understanding, and a willingness to do everything possible to help are qualities we value enormously, and it sounds like he embodied all of them. I’ll make sure your kind words are passed on to him personally.
The fact that the team was able to turn things around so quickly and help your dad get back to enjoying his favourite pastime is exactly the sort of difference we hope to make in people’s lives.
Thank you for taking the time to share such a heartfelt review and for recommending our Walkden store so warmly.
We look forward to serving you soon.

Specscart is great
Specscart is great. I have traditionally spent hundreds of pounds on designer reading glasses at Boots Opticians. It is a racket! My new specs from Specscart cost a fraction of the price and look great. The ordering process is really simple and the glasses arrived the next day.

Reviews like this are exactly why we started Specscart. For too long, many people have felt they had to choose between paying a premium price or compromising on quality, and we’ve always believed there should be a better option.
It’s wonderful to hear you found glasses you love without the eye-watering price tag, and that the whole process felt simple and hassle-free from start to finish. Getting them to you the very next day is the icing on the cake.
Thank you for your trust and for taking the time to share your experience.

If I could give zero stars I would!!
If I could give zero stars I would!!! I trusted them with 2 pairs of our expensive frames and ordered lenses online. I dropped my lenses off in store and stressed to them that the prescriptions in both needed to be right and we ran through the figures! They have arrived with the incorrect prescription! Not only is the incorrect prescription in both pairs of glasses but they have also put the wrong prescription on the lens card with all the details! Shows you receive an incompetent service and this is why they offer low prices! Do not use!!! Better spending a little more and getting your lenses done correctly!!!

UPDATE -
Since their response on trust pilot they had NOT attempted to contact me and were waiting a response. In fact they only responded to my email once my trust pilot post was shared. I have provided the photos of the INCORRECT prescription cards along with what SHOULD have been put in the lenses (opticians provided prescription) they have gone as far as telling us “before we jump to any conclusions”…. There’s no jumping to conclusions going on the glasses are blurred when on and the prescription card is completely different to the prescription uploaded… they’ve asked us to tell them what issues we are facing when wearing the glasses… I mean they only had to be on my face a couple of seconds to figure out they are completely wrong which is why I checked the card! DO NOT BUY FROM HERE! We even went into store once we ordered online just to ensure it would all be correct and it STILL WAS WRONG.
Requested a refund and will update you accordingly on how their customer service team operates but in the meantime I have nothing good to say about this place and who knows if they will even resolve it so please BE CAREFUL AND WARY

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re really sorry to hear about your experience.
We take prescription accuracy and reglazing orders very seriously, so we’d really like to look into this properly. We have requested more information from you through Trustpilot so we can locate your order and investigate what has happened, but unfortunately, we haven’t received the details yet.
Once we have your order information, we’ll be able to review the prescription provided, the lenses supplied, and the lens card details so we can understand the issue and help put this right.
Please respond to our Trustpilot information request or contact us directly with your order details, and our team will look into this as a priority.
Best Wishes,

Great specs, great service and great price.
Bought two pairs (different frames) for the price of one pair from a high street optician. Both delivered to the door in less time than the high street offered.
Super service from Specscart.

One of the things we care most about is giving customers real value without compromising on quality or service, so it’s fantastic to hear that stood out so clearly for you.
Being able to choose two pairs and still spend less than you expected, while receiving them faster than the alternative, is exactly the kind of experience we strive to create. It’s even better knowing both the product and service lived up to expectations.
Thank you for your support and for taking the time to share your experience.

Fantastic service and great value for money. Why would anyone buy glasses from the high street when Specscart are so good? These are my second pair from Specscart and they are my first choice every time now! Thanks guys.

There’s something especially meaningful about hearing from someone who has come back for a second pair and made us their first choice. That kind of trust is never taken for granted.
From day one, our goal has been to offer an alternative to the traditional eyewear experience — combining quality, value, and service in a way that makes people wonder why they ever paid more elsewhere. Knowing that came through so clearly in your experience is incredibly rewarding for the whole team.
Thank you for your continued support and loyalty. It genuinely means a lot to us.

Top quality frames and excellent service
I have been buying my glasses and sunglasses from Specscart for a few years now and feel it’s about time I left a review as they have always had a stunning variety of frames, I have received many compliments, and I have always had an extremely efficient and excellent service from them.

Reviews from long-standing customers are always particularly special because they reflect years of trust rather than a single experience.
It’s wonderful to hear that our frame collection has continued to help you find styles you enjoy wearing and that the service has remained consistently reliable over the years. We work hard to keep offering something a little different, so knowing your glasses have attracted plenty of compliments is lovely to hear too.

It’s especially nice to hear from someone who took the time to live with their glasses for a few weeks before sharing their thoughts. That kind of feedback carries real weight because it reflects the complete experience, not just the excitement of receiving a new pair.
I’m delighted to hear everything has continued to perform exactly as hoped and that the combination of quality, service, and value left such a positive impression. Creating an experience that feels smooth and enjoyable from start to finish is something we care deeply about.

What a lovely review to read. We’ve always believed that customers shouldn’t have to choose between speed, quality, and value, so it’s incredibly rewarding to hear that all three stood out during your experience with us.
Keeping customers informed along the way is something we take seriously, and I’m pleased the communication felt clear and reassuring from start to finish. It’s also wonderful to hear the presentation made an impression when your glasses arrived back with you.

One of the things we love most about our home trial service is seeing customers find a frame they genuinely enjoy wearing, rather than settling for something they're unsure about. It’s wonderful to hear the process was quick and seamless, allowing us to get started on your glasses straight away.
And receiving compliments on your new frames is always a fantastic feeling! We’re delighted they’ve been such a hit and that the whole experience left such a positive impression.

The best thing about Specscart is that you can call them, the call is answered promptly and a real person gives help and advice . No Bots! The communication from start to finish is second to none.
The ordering was simple, the delivery was fast, the price was competitive and I'm delighted with my new varifocals.
I would definitely recommend Specscart and will use them again.

One thing we've always been passionate about is making sure customers can speak to a real person when they need help. Good advice, honest conversations, and being easy to reach should never be a luxury, so it's particularly rewarding to hear that stood out during your experience.
I'm also delighted everything else fell into place—from the ordering process and communication through to the delivery and your new varifocals. Creating a smooth, reassuring experience from start to finish is exactly what we strive for.
Thank you for your recommendation and for placing your trust in us. We look forward to welcoming you back in the future.

I really was so impressed with the customer service and help received placing my order. But even more impressed when I received the glasses back, the packaging and attention to detail was superb. Also being able to track the whole order from start to finish was great. Would highly recommend!

Hi Jo,
Thank you for taking the time to provide us with your feedback. Our team has reached out to you, and we’re just waiting for a few more details so we can check the order properly, review the prescription used for both pairs, and work out exactly what’s happened. Once we have that information, we’ll do our best to get this resolved for you as quickly as possible.
Please reply to our message when you get a chance, and we’ll take it from there.
Best Wishes,

Good value.
Excellent service when repairing glasses I had bought from them they had come apart. Only issue is due to the glasses not being fitted to my face, the lens are in the wrong place for my eyes. Still useable & as the price difference for my high prescription lenses was a bargain compared to specsavers, I’m keeping them.

Hi Jane,
What I appreciate most about your review is how balanced and thoughtful it is. While I’m pleased we were able to help repair your glasses and provide a cost-effective solution for your prescription, I also completely understand your comments regarding the lens positioning.
Getting the fit exactly right can be more challenging when glasses haven’t been fitted in person, particularly with stronger prescriptions, so we genuinely value feedback like yours. It helps us continue refining the experience for future customers.
Thank you for recognising the value and service despite that limitation, and for placing your trust in us. That support means a great deal to the whole team.
We look forward to serving you soon.
