No replacement nose pieces so a bit of a rip off
Glasses good but they don’t do replacement nose pieces, which is a wasteful rip off.

Excellent customer service
As it turns out my initial order was not the smoothest; the original glasses were damaged upon arrival. That said the service I received in resolving the issue was excellent; this company stands behind its products and does the right thing by its customers. I now have the glasses I ordered and they are excellent. Despite the initial bumpy ride I think the company and the glasses deserve five stars.

Optilabs fills the gap in the sports glasses market that you just don’t get from the high street stores. A great range offered for all sports. Have used for many years and service is always very quick and efficient. A good company to do business with.

Hello Ian,
Thank you so much for your continued support and for taking the time to leave such a kind review.
We’re really pleased to hear that you value the specialist range we offer — providing sport-specific prescription eyewear that you simply don’t find on the high street is exactly what we aim to do. It’s also great to know our service continues to be quick and efficient for you after many years. That means a lot to the whole team here in Croydon.
Cycling variafocals
Was a bit nervous spending so much online for cycling variafocals, but after trying all sorts of alternatives, these really do work with my high prescription.

Hello Mr Smiyh,
Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience. We completely understand how nerve-wracking it can feel to invest in something like cycling varifocals online—especially with a high prescription—so it means a great deal to hear that they’ve worked so well for you after trying other alternatives.
We’re thrilled that they’re performing the way you hoped out on your rides!
If you happen to have any photos of yourself wearing them during the sporting activity you ordered them for, we’d absolutely love to see them. With your permission, we may even be able to share them to help reassure other customers who might be in the same position you were.
Thanks again for your support, and happy cycling!
Tony.
Excellent Customer Services, beyond expectations
I've just received my second pair of varifocal sports sunglasses from Optilabs and they are excellent, just like the first!
Their customer services are second to none. I needed them urgently for a fishing trip and they pulled out the stops to get them to me early, even calling with a query over the weekend.
I received their home trial pack within 48 hours so that I could check the frames, they even provide postal stamps fo their return.
I'll be back for more!

We’re also glad the home trial pack was helpful and made choosing your frames easier. We try to make the whole process as smooth and convenient as possible, so your feedback really means a lot.
If you happen to have any photos of you wearing your sunglasses on your fishing trip (or during any sporting activity you’re using them for), we’d love to see them! With your permission, we may even be able to share them on our website or social media.
Thanks again for your continued support — we look forward to helping you with your next pair!

You can't order two different prescriptions
Ordered two pairs of glasses with two different prescriptions but they made them both to the same prescription. I phoned and they are sending the correct replacement but I have yet to receive this. I would have expected it to be processed more swiftly.
Apparently the online ordering system can't cope with two different prescriptions but it doesn't say this anywhere and nobody thought to query with me why one lens would need to be made thinner due to a stronger prescription.

Good morning Mrs Mercer,
I’m so sorry for any mix-up with your recent order. Our system lets you only order multiple pairs for the same prescription, which is because we keep your prescription information on file for possible replacements or extra pairs. So, having more than one prescription on the order/ file might cause some confusion, as it did here.
Your glasses should be on their way in the next few days without charge. It did take a bit longer to get those extra-thin lenses made.
Tony.
Great service, good value for money
Just ordered my third pair of cycling glasses through Optilabs. Variable tint, strong prescription and even varifocal has caused them no problems, at a reasonable price. Quick turnaround (no slower than my high street optician). Try before you buy is a great option, as is reglazing if you don’t want to change frames but you change prescription. Can’t fault them.

Hello,
Thank you so much for taking the time to leave such a detailed review — we really appreciate it. It’s great to hear that even with a strong, variable tint varifocal prescription, everything has worked smoothly for you, and that this is now your third pair with us.
We’re especially glad you’ve found value in options like Try Before You Buy and reglazing — they’re there exactly for situations like yours, so it’s lovely to know they’re hitting the mark. Hearing that our turnaround time stacks up well against the high street is also great feedback for the team.
Tony.
Good product and service.
This is my third or fourth pair of cycling specs that I have ordered over the years ( they are in use at least 100 times every year). Style, quality, service and cost all good. Once a nose pad got damaged and another was sent free of charge.

Hello Peter,
Thank you so much for your continued support and for taking the time to leave such a thoughtful review. We’re delighted to hear that this is your third (or fourth!) pair and that our cycling specs have been serving you well year after year. It’s great to know the style, quality, service, and value have all met your expectations—and we’re especially glad we could help quickly when the nose pad was damaged.
If you’re happy to share, we’d love to see any photos you have wearing them while cycling. It’s always fantastic to see our eyewear out in action doing what it was designed for.
Thanks again for your loyalty and trust—it truly means a lot to us.
Tony.
Superb service overall
So impressed with how one individual immediately took interest and ownership of my enquiry. Sports sunglasses arrived sooner than expected, and that was over the holiday period! Fit and optical quality is excellent. Superb service overall. Thoroughly recommend.

New cycling glasses
Purchased prescription cycling glasses and very happy with them. Order processed and delivered quickly. Prescription insert sent back, after a helpful phone call, to have an adjustment made to distance part of lens. Once this had been done they are now just right. Choice of lenses are great for different light conditions. Customer service was outstanding.
