A copy of your prescription is required before you order with Specs-By-Post. Providing your existing prescription is less than two years old, you may use this to order from us.
However, if your prescription is over two years old, you will need to see your optician in order to obtain an up-to-date one. It is worth pointing out that you are under no obligation to purchase your glasses from the shop where you had your eye test. The optician is, however, obligated to provide you with a copy of your prescription.

We must stress, however, that these should only be purchased on the advice of your optician.
