Amazing service. Just wanted a spare cheap pair of glasses. Arrived very quickly. Could not believe the amazing quality. As good as my Superdry ones! No more rip off opticians for me...

Had one of the lense popping out of the frame. Returned to them & the glasses were returned back to within 5days. Ordering from the website is simple & easy so ive never needed to call them. Ive now bought about 4 pairs & never have i been disappointed by the quality which is very good. Will be buying more glasses that for sure

I made a mistake on my prescription, sent an email correcting it , it was impossible to contact them but to be fair they made the glasses correctly and they were fine

I ordered a basic pair of specs on 22/05/15, got them today 28/05/15. Take out the weekend and the bank holiday that's good service.

I ordered a pair in October. I thought they were great as arrived quickly and fitted well. Since then I’ve had blurred vision, headaches etc. Went to my optician to check I’m not missing something serious. The prescription in the glasses is close but wrong, the astigmatism reading is way off. I’d say, don’t buy from them! Wish I had read reviews first

I wish I'd seen these reviews before I ordered. My varifocals cost £202 - so not cheap. The blurred edges of the lenses mean that I have to swing my head right and left in order to read. It's impossible to read music at the piano which is one of the reasons I chose 'varifocal advanced', anticipating a superior lens. After a week or so of using them, I feel that I'm having to strain and squint to read. The clearest viewing area of the lenses seems to be the tiniest bit in the very centre of the lenses. Certainly not what I'd describe as 'varifocal advanced'. I do not believe they have two standards of varifocal lens as the cheaper version must be nigh on impossible to see with. I had hoped to buy two or three pairs as I quite like some of the frames on offer. I'm now convinced that they might not have been made to my prescription values. Certainly, the delivery was very fast, hence the two stars, but it now leads me to believe the making process was rushed. Also, they creak when I'm cleaning them. Admittedly, I paid extra for the thinnest lenses but that shouldn't mean flimsiness. Quite disappointed. And I don't have much faith in Direct Sight's refund process. I should like to be proved wrong by their Customer Service department.

Ordered some Varifocals from this outfit and to put it bluntly they are useless I have to lift my head up in the air to read any print at all and the long vision is mediocre to say the least. I neglected to read the reviews before purchasing from this company and that's a bad thing to do at any time.

nose pad fell off within the first week. When contacted, was told to return item for repair. No offer of postage paid, or prepaid return. Wont use again

I sent them a set of expensive frames to be re-glazed and they were returned with mismatched screws and scratches. On exactly the same day my friend ordered a pair of glasses which they claimed to have sent by first class post but had yet to arrive two weeks after their claimed posting date. Their delaying tactic is to say they are investigating this with the Royal Mail, though how they do this when they have sent the item unregistered is a mystery. Make a sentence out of these words: 'touch, barge-pole, I, them, with, a, wouldn't', if you have any sense.

I ordered 2 pairs of glasses. The first arrived within a week - the cheaper spare pair. The second had not arrived after 1month. I emailed and a curt reply was received stating it would be dispatched at the end of the week. This was not the case. After 2 further weeks I emailed again and received no reply. I explained I was particularly upset that I had no idea what was happening, I explained I was going to give a poor review and again received a curt reply stating that the glasses had been popular and would be sent soon. Had I not complained about the lack of communication, I would have been left waiting. Trading Regulations 2013 state that if a trader agrees to deliver items, you have a right to have them supplied within 30 days after ordering, beginning the day after the order was made. Customer service and communication could be greatly improved

I ordered some glasses on 30th April. The glasses have still not arrived. They tell me that the glasses will arrive on the 18th May. I was trying to contact ‘Glasses Direct’. Direct Sight seem to have some way of confusing the purchaser. I think it’s a scam.

Terrible company, £150 for glasses to receive these in terrible quality, asked for this to be rectified and have been told I am lying and there is nothing with the glasses, now refusing to give me a refund. Impossible to speak to anyone instead they hide behind their emails. Shall be taking this further as it's theft, avoid if you do not want disappointment or stress.

Seriously Dont Bother with them at all… Seriouslyn't bother with them at all ! As a loyal customer having the same prescription and this is my 3rd lot ,they were wrong ! told to send them back for correction at my expense as they have a problem with the Post Office getting their return labels Ha Ha ! total rubbish and today for the umpteenth time their phone lines are out of order and when they are working the cut off after 10 mins and 31 seconds, one day I grew a beard waiting for them to answer and when they do (a week ago ) they give you the runaround! fine when they get compliments but when they get a negative review like this you will be ignored. The whole experience with Direct Sight was a total disgrace! And it is still not resolved. perhaps it is to do with their position at Companies House, CHECK YOURSELVES ! before you part with your cash! Company status Active — (Active proposal to strike off) Company Type Private limited Company Incorporated on 6 February 2020 (Accounts overdue) Next accounts made up to 28 February 2023 due by 30 November 2023 Last accounts made up to 28 February 2022 Sorry I cannot trust them to run a business let alone treat their customers correctly ! Date of experience: April 30, 2024 PHOTOS OF THE FOUR PAIRS ,TWO IN BOXES BUT WRONG PRESCRIPTION ! Argue ? Oh Yeah they love arguing ! Just be warned and go elsewhere,

As with others, I wished I’d seen the below before ordering (I did check trust pilot 🙄). It’s been almost 3 weeks since I placed my order - initially was told there was an issue with the lens cutting machine but they have failed to respond to my last 2 emails chasing delivery. I suspect I’ll have to make a chargeback claim via my bank 😡

I wish I had seen these reviews before I went ahead and ordered new glasses. I am still waiting for my order. It's now gone way past the confirmed delivery date and to get any communication or reply is non existent or impossible. It states on the website "sit back and relax"... yeah!... and then wait... wait... wait... :(

The Order received was incorrect. I called to resolve the issue but the advisor is not willing to help. Waste of time and money. Please avoid and find a better company.
