I am very happy with my purchase from ausspecs. They offer an extensive variety to choose from what's more, the prices are extremely moderate. I ordered 2 pairs of multifocal glasses from this shop and they work perfectly and saved me hundreds of dollars

Do not buy any multifocal lenses.
I purchased a multifocal lens for my wife back in July and they sent the glasses on time. However the multifocal lens had a lot of issues with them. She could not see the middle distance and could not read at all from the left lens. Plus there were issues in looking at objects clearly from different distances. I also mentioned to them that this is not the first pair of multifocals. They kept saying that the Specsavers who prepared the prescription have not done it correctly. I went back to SS and they redid the prescription and i sent that alon...Read more
g with the photo back to AS. They again made just the lens and sent back. This time the issues were even worse. I asked for a refund as it was more than 2 months without a proper set of glasses. They initially promised a full refund and when the refund came through paypal it was a deducted amount and when talking to the manager. it was less shipping and they have spend a lot to make the lens and all sort of excuses ranging from a squint eye, wrong readings, etc... I made the same set from Clearly Contacts with the same prescription and they sent the order back with a perfect pair of glasses in the first go. Also the cost was near similar to AS by about 30$. Also the person i spoke was very rude and has NO customer service experience at all. I highly recommend people stir away from buying any multifocal lens from AusSpecs. I am happy to provide more information to those who have any questions as evidence.1 comment

Hello Vijay
We can understand your frustration with the result especially after the multitude of emails and phone calls back and forward between us because it is imperative our clients get the best possibly glasses.
... Read more
We have to admit that in the 10 years+ we have been supplying multifocals online this one was the most baffling even to the point that we made the lenses twice to the exact prescription you sent. (BTW just for clarity at no point did you supply 2 prescriptions) We also supplied you with the computer readout reports from both the original and the remake for you to take to your optometrist. Even your optometrist agreed that the lenses were made to the prescription. We are sure that you would agree that there was no point making a 3rd set of (top of the range) lenses without some definitive change, which there was not. At this point we fully refunded your original purchase without question ! With regard the shipping fee perhaps we were wrong in requesting some input from yourself. Our thinking at the time was that we had already 2 lots with free delivery and many hundreds of dollars on lenses that were made to your instruction. Your may not be aware but lenses are not usable for any other person. which ultimately are thrown in the rubbish bin.. It is funny how the wheel turns. We at AusSpecs have had a number of clients in the revers situation where they have been to Clearly's and then come to us after problems. Nevertheless it is good that you were able to get some glasses for your your wife to be able to see again

Excellent!!! Super!!! Quick delivery. Awesome service. I bought my glasses for just under $170 with transition lenses and anti glare, where the optometrist would have charged $400

Amazing & quick turnaround. They have a wide range of frames. I had my lenses made into sunglasses “for free” (didn’t even know this could be done). So I got excellent prescription sunglasses which work perfectly Will definitely use them again. Several discount codes as well on the website!

My whole experience with AusSpecs was really great. Every time I'd email the staff and ask something about their products I'd get a very quick reply and they were always friendly and clear. I have been using my glasses non stop for a while now and are very happy with them; Their products are really good and very high quality. .

Very happy with new specs
A couple of weeks ago I dropped my old faithful specs and stood right on them. Just at that time I caught a TV advert for ausspecs and discount specs. It was certainly fortuitous so I ordered 2 pair (one for a spare) The glasses arrived this week and I could not be happier. In fact I could buy 5 pairs for the same price as the stores. Really happy with the glasses, the quality and price. Certainly recommended them to family and friends.

Excellent service.. Very happy!
I recently purchased a standard pair of reading glasses and a pair of bifocals with quite a few top of the range upgrades at a considerable extra cost. No problems with the reading glasses but couldn't cope with the bifocals. The problem wasn't cause by a faulty prescription but was due to my inability to adjust to the loss of peripheral vision (apparently a common problem with bifocals). However as spoke to staff member, they helped get a replacement pair and it was indeed a great service by them. Super Happy

It's not that often these days you recommend a firm to others, but AusSpecs is one of the very few exceptions. We have been using AusSpecs for more than 5 years now and never been disappointed. Their service is terrific and at the prices they charge we are able to afford new specs every year, keeping our prescription needs up to date. Thanks AusSpecs.

Loved shopping with AusSpecs!
Shopped for the first time online from Ausspecs for my glasses and never been so happy with the purchase. Never thought I could save so much money if I order online.. service is recommended and price is also very reasonable as you can save bucks while using their coupon code. I am going to order another pair now.

Be Careful
Ordered glasses given expected shipping date only for it to be delayed over a week without a message to update or explain. Poor quality on last pair frame separated decided to try again but deceptive conduct means not again. Expect huge delays if you order.
Also can't trust quality and difficult/expensive to return. Reality is cheap but you end up paying so maybe use a shop front store like spec savers at least you can talk to someone.

Hi.
I am not normally into writing reviews but on this occasion I think I should share my experience.
I am 65, on a pension and I do not have health Insurance. I recently went to my local opsm and was quoted $149 for a plastic frame and a further $330 for the lenses so I could read and work the computer. A second (cheapest pair for just driving was $99. This is on top of what they have already been paid to check my eyes and write me a prescription.
I walked out in disgust.

A comparison of Clearly with Aus specs
I thought I'd try ordering glasses from both of these online retailers to see what they were like. Here's my experience:
Clearly:
Great website that allowed me to filter the glasses by various parameters. I tried to match the size and shape of my existing glasses in the absence of being able to try them on.
Ordering was easy and the glasses arrived in about 2 weeks - about the same time as my local Spec Savers took, but at about 1/3 of the price ($65)! The glasses are good quality.
The Aus Specs website by comparison is terrible. It r...Read more
eally needs an upgrade. They did have useful information about the selection of glasses, but the ability to see what the glasses looked like accurately and to be able to compare different ones was difficult. It took about 3-4 weeks for the glasses to arrive. The glasses feel cheap - like the kids' ones you get in showbags. Even the case seems cheap in comparison to Clearly. The sunglasses I ordered cost about $67. Both sites don't offer glasses that are as large as the ones offered in Spec Savers - I have a wide face and I had to settle for glasses that were smaller than I would have liked. In conclusion - I will buy again from Clearly. They are good value and offer a quality product and quick delivery.1 comment
Janet M.AusSpecs
Hello Michelle and thank you for your feedback. It is certainly appreciated.
Obviously we are disappointed that you are not ecstatic about your new glasses . ... Read more
We certainly agree that the site needs an upgrade. It is now 10 years old and was created in a time where ppl did not have the faintest idea what an optical prescription even was let alone purchase their prescription glasses over the net. The site has served our clients well for the 10 years but now it is time to change and to this end the new AusSpecs website is almost complete and will be a state of the art optical provider site. Sorry... We are a little confused as to why you would use this forum to compare and expound the virtue of the Canadian Website you mention. It would seem to the uninitiated that you are running your own product review site especially as you are a web marketing consultant for hire ? Anyway, we all need to see well and with this in mind one point that you may have simply overlooked in your comparison is the lenses in your new glasses. I am sure that we all agree, the lenses are ‘the’ most important thing when it comes to prescription glasses. Just so we can steer you and other readers in the right direction for the future, the lenses you would have received from your supplier (based on the price you paid) would appear to be Polycarbonate. Polycarbonate lenses have a primary problem. Optical clarity is significantly inferior to CR39 lenses (as supplied by us) or glasses lenses. Further to this, polycarbonate lenses are very easy to scratch and become usable. Even scratch resistant coatings are just a stop gap. For optical application, great for sport or kids but the worst choice for clear vision. There is much on this across the net. With regard the frames themselves, please be assured that they are made from high quality Acetate material (the same as your bricks and mortar stores sell ) and not the cheap option of hard plastic. The ones you chose are certainly bright and colourful. They are very popular though and you can see them here http://www.ausspecs.com.au/expand_prescription_glasses.php?model=p4010a. The filters. We are sorry that we did not have the search criteria you required and to this extent we would love to hear from you if you have a filter in mind that is not on the site. We thought we had this covered with search filters from gender to size to shape to material and colour but obviously not in this case. Nevertheless, our clients satisfaction is of paramount importance and if you are not happy with your glasses you are most welcome to return them as I am sure that out of the thousands of high quality frames available we can find you some that you might like. We look forward to hearing from you. Kind regards BrianSimilar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!

Pleasantly surprised by wonderful friendly service.
AusSpecs provided us two pairs of beautifully framed glasses for around half the price of brick and mortar retailers in a very short period of time.
The service is excellent, any online queries is answered in a very short period of time. Due to a complication of our own making and with the help of PayPal bureaucracy their was a delay of some 5 days of the correct payment being received by AusSpecs but they continued on with the order.

Hello, who would you recommend in adelaide sa to do an eye test for glasses ? Also is there anyway I am able to use my existing titanium frames /that were very expensive but light .
Regards Dennis
2 answers
Hi Dennis - sorry, no idea about eye tests in Adelaide. I'm in Melbourne. I used Spec Savers and they were good. Apparently you can re-use existing frames.
Janet M.AusSpecs
Hello Dennis and thank you for your question.
Being that AusSpecs has been supplying glasses as a third party scenario of over 10 years you can imaging that we get a lot of feedback on which stores are best and which ones, not so much.
During this time we have formed the opinion that opsm might be the best for prescription accuracy and customer care.
One big difference is that opsm are company owned store (owned by Luxitica ) so their focus is more toward looking after their clients and building a long term relationship.
They are generally very helpful in supplying you with a copy of your prescription on request.
Still very expensive though.
With regard the re-glazing of your "Old Favorites" yes it can be done but the cost is often prohibitive.
Unfortunately we now live in a throw away society meaning that for about 1/3 the price of lens replacement you can buy a brand new complete set. Perhaps you could get a quote from your optical store at the time of your eye test before making a judgement call :)
All is not lost though, we highly recommend our clients to send their old glasses to Lions Club where they can do the most good .

I do hope this helps and you are always welcome to drop us a line here at AusSpecs
Best regards

Hi,
I will buy rimless glasses and would like to find out what Ausspecs rimless lenses quality is.
I used to buy my rimless glasses from Zenni. My recent experience is very bad with Zenni as their polycarbonate lenses keep developing cracks around the bolt holes in 6 months or so, typical problem with rimless glasses!
Has anyone experience with Ausspecs rimless multifocal glasses?
Cheers
