Webstore – Frequently Asked Questions

There are only a small number of frames and sunglasses available with this facility currently but we intend to add more as our software supplier makes these available.

Q: Can I purchase prescription spectacles from the Webstore?

A: Currently, you can purchase spectacles with single vision lenses only if you have a current prescription with which you are happy. If you are an existing Juul & Payne patient we have your prescription on record in our Practice Management System. If you are a new patient you will need to provide / upload a copy of your prescription.

You cannot purchase spectacles with varifocal lenses on-line as we need to see you in person to ensure a proper fit.

If you are NOT happy with your current spectacle prescription we recommend that we book you in for a comprehensive eye examination. Please call us on 0117 9735929.

Q: How can I purchase prescription spectacles with varifocals or other specialist lenses?

A: Have a look at our Webstore to see 6 of our most popular ranges of designer frames and then book an on-line Virtual Consultation (coming soon) with one of our experienced Dispensing Opticians to discuss your requirements and the available options. They will then book you in for a styling consultation in Practice to try on the frames you have pre selected and to carry out measurements to ensure the best possible fit.

Alternatively, simply call 0117 9735929 and book a full styling consultation in Practice to discuss your requirements and to carry out the necessary measurements to ensure the best possible fit.

Q: Am I better of purchasing prescription spectacles online or in Practice?

A: Even virtual try on doesn’t compare to ‘actual’ try on as you’ve probably become aware if you’ve ordered anything online. Our experienced Dispensing Opticians (Chris; Jo and Emma) look carefully at your posture, head angle, face shape and colouring. They also talk about your lifestyle and prescription to ensure you get the most comfortable, flattering frames and effective lenses…and the best deals! And finally, they will customise the fit of your frames to ensure you are really comfortable. Not all frames will support, or look good, with every prescription or can be fitted to every head. We can do fitting with ‘click and collect’ but prefer to see you in person with the frame of your choice before final ordering. We can fit the frame then, confirm it’s exactly right for you and then post the completed item substantially reducing your risk of getting it wrong.

Q: Can I purchase Contact Lenses from the Webstore?

A: If you have a current Contact Lens prescription with which you are happy you can select from our most popular daily; 2 weekly or monthly contact lenses from Johnson & Johnson; Alcon; Bausch & Lomb and CooperVision.If you are an existing Juul & Payne patient we have your Contact Lens prescription on record in our Practice Management System. If you are a new patient you will need to provide / upload a copy of your Contact Lens prescription.


Q: I am an Eyeplan customer. Can I obtain my normal discounts of 25% off spectacles and 15% off sunglasses if I buy on-line?

A: Yes. Just let us know in advance and we can email you special discount coupon codes for your use only.

Q: Can I take advantage of the Essilor Take 2 spectacle lenses offer valid until the end of November 2020?

A: Under the Take 2 offer, when you buy one pair of Crizal lenses you get another pair either free or half price depending on the first pair chosen. However, this offer applies to single vision lenses and also varifocals and other specialist lenses (such as for computer use and driving) which we can’t currently sell online. Therefore, if you wish to take advantage of this offer please call us on 0117 9735929 and we will advise you the best way to do this.
