Now my go to place for Varifocal sunglasses
Bought a pair of glasses which Specsavers messed around with for 2 weeks before letting me know they couldn't add varifocal reaction lenses - spoke to Shade Station who managed to put in thinner Zeiss varifocal lenses that react faster, cheaper than specsavers. My sunglasses look amazing and are clearer and sharper than my current specsavers!
Where I had to chase specsavers for feedback these guys, especially Aadil, were in constant communication without pressure so I always felt in control.

Hi Junior,

It's wonderful that we could provide the perfect varifocal lenses for your sunglasses, offering both great quality and value. We truly appreciate your kind words about our communication and service which we will ensure is passed onto Aadil!
Thank you so much again!

Trusted & Excellent Seller of Sunglasses
What a great company! Bought my 4th pair of Ray-Bans from them this week. As usual, they arrived quickly and were a great price. Definitely authentic Ray-Bans.
That's myself and the kids all sorted for holidays and the rest of the Summer.
