When We Can't Supply
There are some circumstances that don't permit us to supply prescription optical goods & prescription lenses
Just as an Optician is obliged to give you a copy of your eye test to use at the spectacle supplier of your choice after an eye test, under the same legislation, there are occasions when as an Optical Manufacturer, we are not permitted to offer prescription services by law.
The current legislation is set up to ensure patients with exceptional eye care needs are seen and monitored regularly by a qualified optician, and that prescription spectacles and lenses are prescribed under the direct supervision of an authorised medical eye care professional.
The regulations are to protect a patient who has more complex needs and requires constant checks at set intervals.
If you are under 16 years of age,
Registered as partially sighted,
Registered with the Eye Hospital or Eye Doctor,
Then unfortunately we cannot supply prescription glasses or lenses under current UK law.
