How long does it take to get glasses from Specsavers?
After that, all that's left to do is place your order and wait for your glasses to arrive. They'll usually be with you within 10 days of your order, but we'll let you know if they take any longer. Once you have them, you might need to come into your local store to have them fitted and make any necessary adjustments.
Can I take my own frames to Specsavers?
Our recommendation would be to visit your local store with the frames and have a chat with the team; they will be able to assess your glasses for suitability and will be able to give you a quote based on your requirements.
