Hello and welcome to the glasses4less website!

This is the ecommerce site of the Orkney Optical Laboratory

As our name would suggest we are an optical laboratory and offer quality prescription frames and lenses, as well as a wide range of optical goods and accessories, direct to the public at amazingly low prices!

Based in the beautiful Islands of Orkney, we have been serving the local community with low cost, quality spectacles since 2002 from our retail outlet on the island of Burray . Orkney is made up of around 70 islands and it was by way of trying to better serve customers living in remote island communities that first gave us the idea to create this website.

The High Street prices for prescription lenses and frames can be truly shocking. With the reduced overheads associated with ‘out of town' and internet shopping we can save you as much as 70% on the cost of your spectacles and you can be confident in the knowledge that you are still getting the very best quality and value, pound for pound spent.

We offer a wide variety of frames and lenses for sale, both budget & designer at prices you can afford! Plastic single vision and multifocal lenses, standard index or thin and light high index lenses. Fixed Tints, plastic photochromatic transition lenses or polarized, we offer the full range of products with a fast and friendly service and free UK delivery!

THERE MUST BE A CATCH?

If we offered you a complete pair of prescription spectacles, fitted with top quality single vision lenses at a total cost of only £19.95 including case, cloth, glazing fee's and FREE UK postage & packing , you might be excused for asking, "What's the catch?"

THE TRUTH IS, THERE IS NO CATCH!
