When we set up ciliaryblue, the aim was to make the reglazing of spectacles cheap, easy and professional.

Doing it cheaply was always going to be easy when compared to the high street as our overheads are considerably less, we could supply the same products from the same suppliers much more cheaply.

Making it easy took more thought. Sending the customer the pre-addressed and pre-paid packaging to send the frames to us was the first step. It meant there was no looking for bubble wrap or boxes then a trip to the post office for stamps. Just place the specs in the box with the presciption and post back. The website was designed to be easy to navigate and to understand, and the presciption entry and lens order page simple and informative. 

The pricing structure was simplified too. No extra charges for rimless or semi-rimless glazing (all of our competitors do this- at time of writing). No pitches saying free coatings, 241′s etc, you just pay for what you want.

Professional, I am the Optician who runs the business, I run this with the same constraints and guidlines as I did on the high street, no corners cut. Honest advice is given, no hard selling. We try to answer all emails promptly, reply to messages and even phone back missed calls.

We try to offer the same quality of service you would expect to get at your favourite Opticians while saving you money.

I hope we manage to achieve our goal.

We get asked more and more this time of year if we can replace lenses in non-prescription sunglasses. We can. The lenses get scratched when on the beach, scratched in the bottom of the handbag, left in the glovebox etc, etc. We can sometimes change non-prescription lenses for full prescription lenses. The quality of the lenses is the same and are manufactured and tinted the same way. Some use reactions lenses for the replacments, all of the lenses can be coated with anti-scratch/glare. So please contact us for details.

At ciliaryblue we glaze everything from high fashion to swimming goggles. We get new frames and some very old frames too, sometimes we see frames that we haven’t seen before and have put this post in to tell you about the really good ones we see.

Recently we have had some fantastic Ferrari rimless that are beautifully made, nice to glaze and look brilliant glazed up, Range Rover (the car company) also make lovely frames too, we glazed one recently, the quality of the frame and materials really impressed us. They are expensive, look it and are deserving of the price. Oakley’s are a favourite here as they are always great quality.
