Home Trial Service
Try Glasses & Sunglasses at Home
Finding the perfect pair of glasses online can feel difficult, especially with vintage, designer and one-of-a-kind frames. That is why Retro Spectacle offers a simple UK Home Trial Service, allowing you to purchase frames to try at home in your own environment, with your own style and wardrobe, before deciding whether to add prescription lenses.
Simply order your chosen frames using your preferred payment method, including Klarna or Clearpay, try them on at home, then either return them for a refund or send it back to us for prescription lenses fitting by our in-house optical team.
Unlike traditional home trial schemes, there is no separate application process – you simply purchase your chosen frames as normal.
How Our Home Trial Service Works
Choose Your Frames – Browse our collection of authentic vintage glasses and sunglasses and select your favourite frames using the "Frame Only" option.
Whether you are looking for designer sunglasses, vintage prescription glasses or statement eyewear, our Home Trial Service allows you to experience the fit and style at home before committing to lenses.
Checkout Using Your Preferred Payment Method
Purchase your frame securely using your preferred payment method, including Klarna & Clearpay Pay Later options.
This allows you to spread the cost while deciding whether the frame is right for you.
Try Your Glasses at Home
Once your order arrives, try the frames on in your own time and environment. See how they fit, feel and suit your personal style before making your final decision.
Decide What Happens Next
Once you have tried the frames, you can either:
Return the Frames for a Refund
If the frame is not suitable, simply return it to us in its original condition.
or
Keep the Frames & Add Prescription Lenses
If you love the frame, simply send the frame back to us with your prescription details and our qualified optical team will professionally fit your lenses in-house.

- Single vision lenses
