A family run business since 2008 based in Long Bennington Newark, offering the exact same warranties as opticians. Glasses Frames and Lenses offers some of the leading brand frames, such as Ted Baker, Converse, Anna Sui, Pepe Jeans, Hackett Bespoke, Jaeger, Stepper and many more at competitive prices. We have many lens suppliers, and can provide the exact same lenses as Vision Express, along with big brand names such as Zeiss, Varilux Essilor, Nikon, Rodenstock etc. We also deal with Tokai who are known in the industry as world leaders with their 'Neuroscience' technology (see our blog post http://www.glassesframesandlenses.com/blog/lenses/tokais-neuroscience-brings-rolls-royce-varifocal-lenses/). We have our own on-site lab that is managed by Steve Mason, who up until January 2013 owned the Vision Express lab for 13 years. Steve also used to be the European Sales Director for American Optical selling lenses to all of the major chains and therefore technically, what he does not know about lenses, is simply not worth knowing! New to Glasses Frames and Lenses is our monthly coffee morning that is held on the last Wednesday of every month. This is a great opportunity for local people to come and check us out and look at our new showroom, whilst enjoying a nice cuppa and some of Mrs C's lovely home baked goodies. From 26th March 2014, Glasses Frames and Lenses will also be offering Sight Tests during the day that our coffee mornings are held. This will allow us to be unique in that we can offer the full end to end service under one roof. There are not even many opticians these days that can boast that! Coupled with Steve's vast lens knowledge and lens manufacturing experience, I think that makes us pretty good when it comes to knowing what we are going! For our local customers, being on a business park allows us to offer 10 designated parking spaces and 2 disabled parking spaces right outside our door, with plenty of other parking spaces available too!
