All prescriptions provided to us must be issued to you by a registered medical practitioner/optometrist following an eye test by him or her within the last 2 year or sooner as stipulated by examining optometrist.

4. If you are unsure of the prescription that is to be applied to the goods, please consult a registered medical practitioner or optometrist before placing an order.
5. Unless you state otherwise, we use an appropriate average pupillary distance ‘PD’ to complete your order. Unless you specify a particular ‘PD’ during your order process you will be agreeing to let us use an average PD for bifocal and single vision lenses. Glasses Complete recommend that you consult your optician to obtain your PD before ordering, and provide that PD number to us when ordering. Alternatively, we have a do it yourself guide to measure ones own PD that can be found within our ‘help’ section.
6. To order prescription glasses from Glasses Complete you must be over the age of 16, you must not be registered blind, or partially sighted, or ordering on behalf of someone under 16 years of age.

8. When new glasses are ordered with varifocal lenses, we require the customer to apply the ‘template sticker’ to the foldable template frame that will be sent to you with relevant instructions as soon as we receive your order. This process is designed to help us accurately decipher lens centration for your new varifocal glasses.
9. Varifocal based re-glaze orders will require ‘template sticker’ to be applied on the glasses to be re-glazed before sent to us for re-glaze. ‘Template sticker’ with relevant instructions will be sent to you as soon as we receive your order. This process is designed to help us accurately decipher lens centration for your varifocal glasses.
10. Re-glazing an existing frame is done at your own risk. In case the frame is unable to withstand the glazing process then there is a possibility the frame could break. Nevertheless, this is very unlikely to occur as we use the latest fully automated CNC optical glazing machinery.
11. If we receive frames that are unsuitable for re-glaze, we will notify you to that effect and offer you to either post an alternative frame instead that is suitable for re-glaze or cancel order with full refund minus postage fee already paid.

If we are unable to successfully contact you, your order will be duly cancelled and you will be given a full refund.
