Specscart is one of the fastest-growing eyewear startups in the UK. With three physical stores in Manchester and an e-commerce website, we bring 2000+ fashionable eyewear styles made in the UK at unbeatable prices and deliver them in a record-breaking time of 24 hours.
Like superheroes, our brand also has an inspiring origin. Okay, it didn’t involve any radioactive spider bites, but it“s a lot more relatable. Our founder, Sid, broke his eyeglasses just one day before his semester exams. Wandering through Manchester City Centre in search of a replacement, he encountered only overpriced or mediocre options. The glasses he fancied were locked behind high-security displays, priced steeply at over £150. After reluctantly paying a small fortune without the chance to properly try them on, the glasses arrived—too late for his exams. Hope was lost here, but direction and purpose were found.
Sid realised that eyewear, much like shoes, should come with options that cater to different needs and occasions without breaking the bank or compromising on quality. Driven by this idea, Sid envisioned a brand where selecting glasses would be as enjoyable and straightforward as choosing a pair of shoes for different occasions—hence our tagline, “A Frame for Every Game.“
This vision gave rise to Specscart: an award-winning startup, on a mission to revolutionise the eyewear industry by changing the way people perceive glasses, from being a tool of sight correction to a sustainably made fashion accessory, that is a true joy to wear.
OUR PROMISE
At Specscart, we make a commitment to never sell anything that we wouldn’t buy ourselves. This means you receive essential upgrades like anti-glare, anti-UV, anti-scratch, and impact-resistant coatings on all glasses at no extra charge. Plus, every order comes complete with a protective case, designer cleaning cloth, cleaning solution, and a screwdriver. To ensure your vision is at its best, Specscart offers free eye tests for everyone at all our retails stores.

Frames could be better
The service was good, but the frames are unfortunately quite flimsy and don't feel very high quality. Would appreciate an opportunity to discuss this and perhaps obtain a more robust frame

Great service however they need to reduce the price of thinner lenses especially when the frame chosen needs a thinner lens or alternatively, not let you scroll on through the process and place an order only to get a call the next day recommending thinner lenses but you'll have to pay extra

Losing your glasses is never ideal, so I'm really pleased we were able to get a new pair to you so quickly when you needed them most. Moments like these are exactly why we work so hard to combine fast turnaround times with genuinely helpful support.

Thank you for taking the time to leave your review, Peter.
We're very sorry for the confusion regarding your frames. We're pleased we were able to speak with you and explain what had happened and that the correct frames have been dispatched, as well as help you choose an alternative frame that better suits your needs.
We can see your new order is now ready, and we're just awaiting payment before we can get everything underway. If you need any further assistance before then, please don't hesitate to get in touch. We'll be more than happy to help.
Thank you again for your patience and understanding, and we look forward to getting your new glasses to you soon.
Very pleased
Took a little longer than I'd hoped, but was very pleased with my re-glazed sun glasses, and much cheaper than the high street chain some people say 'should have gone to'.

Fab, speedy service from a UK based company.
Need a new prescription pair of sunglasses last minute but ones that wouldn't cost a small fortune either and happened upon Specscart, bought the purple Brooke pair and as promised the glasses were ordered and shipped within 24 hours. Very chuffed to see that this is a Bury based company - I have family there! Will definitely be ordering again whenever my prescription changes.

It's also great to hear you have a connection to Bury. We're incredibly proud of our roots and grateful for your support.
