No prescription needed. Super fast delivery. Cute little packet of mini Haribo in the package. Will definitely reorder from here.

The package came quickly, only paid for 5pairs just to see what they were like. Only wore one pair so far but found them very comfortable to wear and beats all the hassle of going through the optician... See more

The lens cases were delivered unwrapped in separate, unassembled parts

I've been ordering from your site many times. It was always quick and good service.
However, this time I was unplesantly suprised as the main packaging was not fully sealed. Inside, the lens cases were not individually wrapped and were delivered in separate, unassembled parts.I am worried about the hygiene of the unsealed items.

Very easy to order online

Very easy to order online, super fast delivery next day by Royal Mail. Products arrived neatly and securely packaged, with an unexpected gift of a small bag of Haribo jelly gums inside (slightly odd but nevertheless a nice, generous and thoughtful gesture). Will be ordering from Vision Direct again.

Great service but no discount

As always, your service was amazingly fast and efficient but I ended up using your chat service as, no matter what I did, I could not access the 5% discount offered in the email offering it. The assistant on the chat said that I should ask again after the order was delivered, which I will do shortly.
