After the stress of dealing with parcel farce ( and that's not a spelling mistake).
I finally received my new glasses!
It was worth the wait, I have had sunglasses from you before, and I will be coming back to you when I need a new pair.
Comfortable and quality sums it up perfectly. Very pleased!

Truly excellent. Used the free offer to check out 3 frames first - went for Cirrus wraparounds with prescription single vision distance lenses. They are perfect with minimal distortion, and great for cycling, with a good view looking over the shoulder. This was not the experience with Oakley's from the Oakley store that had to be returned - significant distortion unless looking straight ahead.
I needed to clarify a point about my prescription, a telephone call with Optilabs quickly clarified the issues and the online ordering process was then straightforward.
The glasses have now arrived and are very good. In summary a very efficient and friendly service.

Had several pairs of glasses from Optilabs over many years. Never had an issue with ordering and any queries are quickly resolved. The image through the glasses is super sharp.....perfect for my sport. I always order the transitions driveware lenses and use them in all light conditions. Very satisfied.... recommended.

I have tried on the bike as yet but they look good and fit very well.

With sunglasses its not just about filling a prescription, its about the lenses themselves.
Rayban may have great polarised lenses but only without prescription. Optilabs fill my prescription quickly, at a good price and the vision through their polarised lenses is really excellent.
These are my third pair of Optilabs cycling glasses and I've never been disappointed. The frames have all been comfortable and the optical quality of the lenses has been excellent. The wrap-around feature is great on the bike.

Was looking for a pair a prescription cycling glasses, and Optilabs came up on Google. Very clear website and the clincher was you could choose up to 3 frames to be sent to you to try out free of charge! I then went ahead and ordered them online after trying the samples. You just upload your prescription and they arrived within the 14 days. Really happy with them, the only downer was I subsequently found out I could have got 10% off as a member of Cycling UK 😞

Starting with a home trial of three frames which arrived quickly with return postage included. The order was placed online and was received within fourteen days. Excellent service.

Just again reglazed my sunglasses following a prescription change. Great service as always.
I've been a customer of Optilabs for many years and would, without hesitation, recommend them to you.

I made use of the try before you buy option which was very useful. Having chosen my frames it took a couple of minutes to fill the prescription form in and place the order. The glasses were delivered very quickly and are clear at both distance and close up.
I would use Optilabs again.
