It is impossible to fully examine each of these sections in the context of this review, but a number have been selected for further exploration.


Prescription:

This section provides an excellent explanation of your prescription, enabling you to input the right specifications, quickly and easily, when ordering your fashion glasses.

Useful Articles:

High street opticians can often leave you with the feeling of having been placed on a conveyor belt, as you are hurried from the reception area, into a consultation, and then given little information about which frames and lens are most suitable for your needs. Fashion Specs Direct has created a host of informative and easy to understand articles that explain everything you need to know about your fashion glasses, to enable you to make the right decision in your own time.

There are eight articles, which include; How do glasses correct sight? How to choose your glasses, Spectacles and sunglasses, Proven tips to clean your glasses, What is anti-reflection coating for glasses and how does it work? How do you know when you need glasses?

This section will appeal to those who like to understand more about a product before they make their purchase.

Try at Home Service:

This is an excellent feature of the site, enabling customers to try before they buy. For the cost of postage and packaging; currently £2.50, and a 50% deposit, you can try up to three stylish frames in the comfort of your home. This is a brilliant option for people with busy lifestyles, those who are unable to leave the house or those who simply want to get a second opinion from a partner or family members without dragging them into a High Street opticians!

Click and Compare:

This helpful tool allows visitors to select and compare their favourite frames quickly and easily to ensure they make the right purchase. All your desired frames will be instantly viewable as a one page summary, including their specific details and related sizes, enabling you to make a more informed decision. This is an excellent concept, as it avoids the hassle of switching between pages to compare essential information.
