Mobile Dispensing Services
Within Glasgow and the surrounding areas, we are pleased to provide Mobile Dispensing Services.
The services aim to provide the same professional Dispensing Optician services received in practice in the comfort of your own home.
Simple Single Vision Lenses can of course be ordered through our website but you may find the mobile dispensing service helpful when the prescription is beyond the simple range stated (-6.00 Sph /+4.00 Sph and 2.00 Cyl) or if there are other considerations that are better discussed beforehand with the Dispensing Optician.
All other lens options such as Bifocals, Varifocals & Vocational lenses etc are available using this service.
The Mobile Dispensing Service Fee is £30. (Which includes a £20 discount voucher towards Spectacles Dispensed)
A Dispensing Optician will advise on both frames and lenses after a full discussion of the prescription.
(Please note: A valid current spectacle prescription is required)
