Frame adjustments

We offer free adjustments and minor repairs (screws / pads) for all our own frames.

Any frame from elsewhere may, if deemed appropriate, be adjusted. Should work be undertaken, it is done so at your own risk and will incur a charge. All proceeds of this charge will go to our local charity. This is currently Barnoldswick and Earby Bosom Friends, who help families in Gisburn, the Ribble Valley and West Craven.

Getting glasses elsewhere

You have a right to have your prescription dispensed wherever you choose. However:

The prescribing and dispensing of spectacles are closely linked it is best to have your spectacles dispensed where you have your eyes examined. It is often more difficult to resolve any problems you may have with your spectacles when prescribing and supply are separated.

The College of Optometrists

Following our college guidelines; we always recommend that you have your glasses dispensed where you have your eye test performed, wherever that may be.

Please be aware we do not provide any measurements necessary for the dispense of spectacles after the eye examination. Following the eye test, the responsibility of choosing an appropriate lens, performing the required measurements and ensuring an appropriate fit lies with whomever performs the dispense.

Prescriptions from elsewhere

We do accept valid optical prescriptions from elsewhere, however we will perform a full eye examination and the prescription will be rechecked by us.

We will refund the cost of the eye test off the glasses so you are not out of pocket. This ensures we minimise any potential problems that may arise with your new spectacles.
