FAQ
Products
Ollie Quinn eyewear is a truly global product. We know that talent doesn’t come from just one place, so by carefully hand picking the highest quality parts from all around the world, we’ve been able to create a premium product and keep the price affordable. It’s taken hard work but we’re really happy with the final product and excited about unveiling our first OQ collection.
Here’s how:
We trust the sturdy structure of our German hinges and use a mixture of Italian and Chinese acetate to ensure you frames last as long as you love them (and btw, that’s a long time). Finally, our in-house designed frames are assembled and manufactured in Hong Kong, where we maintain a close eye on quality control.
Our frames are made from the highest quality Italian or Chinese acetate, depending on the lenses. Each sheet of acetate can take up to 10 weeks to create and all frames are cut individually. This means that every frame is unique.
We believe in using the finest lenses with all the additional options as standard, not extras. We use 1.50 index multi-coat lenses, which means they have anti-scratch, anti-glare and anti-reflective coatings. Each pair is fitted by expert technicians through our partner laboratory in Toronto. Our suppliers provide lenses to Optometrists throughout North America.
We are not about “upselling”, we help to guide you on a lens choice that represents the best value. If you elect thinner lenses; please understand that the thickness of the lens is still contingent on your prescription. Your eyes are YOUR eyes and if those eyes need a high prescription we cannot guarantee there will be no lens visible at the side of your frame. For high prescriptions choosing a frame with the appropriate lens size will make a substantial difference to the amount of lens that may show. Please ask for guidance in store, if you are unsure.
We do not mass produce! Which is super cool, though, it does mean there is a limited number of each frame. All orders are subject to availability, frames are not reserved. On rare occasions we may run out of stock on a frame. In these circumstances, we will notify you by phone or email in advance and offer a choice of substitute or a full refund.
Absolutely. We will happily send you the frame only if you need to have your lenses fitted elsewhere. These will arrive with the same multicoat used on our prescription lenses so they will also look great if you just wear glasses for fashion.
Price
We are very proud of our frames and lenses, the only reason they cost less is because we use a new business model to eliminate the unnecessary parts of the supply chain. There is no reason glasses should cost more than an iPad simply because they have a small brand name on the temple.
All frames are one fair price of £115 including our standard prescription lenses and necessary coatings for your clearest vision.
If you have a very strong prescription, there is an additional cost associated with thinning your lenses to create the most comfortable eyewear. Our in-store optometrists or our customer service team are able to advise you on whether this is necessary.
We also offer full eye exams and contact lens fittings with certified optometrists at most store locations who can help you ensure optimal eye health, and can help you with your varifocal prescription.
Prescription and Eye Care
We make it our policy to only process orders with valid prescriptions. This means you've had an eye exam within the last 1 - 2 years (depending on your recall date) at the time of order. If it's been longer than 2 years, it's definitely time to get them checked again. If you're unsure, check the recall date on your prescription.
We can fill all prescriptions but do prefer to see you in store if your prescription is quite strong. With complex scripts we like to closely assess the frame fit and take some measurements. Please note that progressive lenses are not available for purchase online currently.
When ordering online, If your script is strong and we think you would benefit from upgrading to thinner lenses we will contact you before finalising your order. If your prescription is particularly strong we may ask you to come into store to take extra measurements.
Yes, simply email us your name, date of birth, phone number, email address, and the name of your optometrist.
Yes absolutely, but not online. For more complicated lenses, like multifocals, we need to take a number of extra measurements to ensure the perfect fit. Our trained staff are always available in-store to take these measurements, no appointment required!
Simply visit your local Optometrist to get your eyes tested. Once you have your prescription, email us a copy or send us the details of the practice and we will request a copy on your behalf.
We offer a range of high-index, multifocal and other more complex lenses in all of our boutiques. However for online orders you will only see our standard index lenses for simple prescriptions. The reason for this is that we encourage all customers with stronger prescriptions to visit us in store so that we can check the fit and take a couple of measurements. Your eyesight is our number one concern. If you place an order online and we notice your script looks a little more complicated than usual we will be in touch via either phone or email to work out your best option.
No problem. Many of our customers have astigmatism, and it is no trouble to fill these orders.
Pupillary Distance (PD) is the distance between the centre of both pupils in millimetres. The PD is required by our optical technicians to fit your lenses accurately and achieve the most effective and comfortable outcome for you.
