Glasseslit: glasses frames from $5, with prescription lenses added online

Shopping at Glasseslit? See all current Glasseslit discount codes and deals, checked regularly.

Glasseslit is an online glasses shop that calls itself one of the largest eyewear wholesalers and retailers in Asia. The appeal is simple: frames are cheap, and you add the lenses you need when you order, whether that's plain lenses, reading lenses, single vision made to your prescription or multifocals. It also sells sunglasses and frames with magnetic sunglass clip-ons.

It suits people who want a spare pair, a second colour or a pair of reading glasses without paying high-street prices, and who don't mind waiting. Everything is priced in US dollars and posted from abroad, and the returns policy is stricter than most UK opticians, so it's worth reading the small print before you order.

What's worth a look

Six frames from the current sales, shown at their frame-only prices. Lenses are extra (single vision starts at $4.95).

Most of the bestsellers are in the 'Double Ten Carnival', where every frame is $10 or less. The 100380 geometric titanium frame stands out, down from $39.95. If you want sunglasses as well, the clip-on frames such as the 200949 aviator come with a magnetic tinted layer that sits over your prescription lenses.

Before you order, have your prescription and pupillary distance (PD) to hand. The site asks for each value separately and suggests emailing a photo of your prescription if you aren't sure how to read it.

Frames can be filtered by shape (round, cat-eye, aviator, browline and more), by material such as titanium, acetate, TR90 or wood, and by size, which helps if you already know the width that fits you. Round styles like Selena are among the cheapest in the flash sale, so they make an easy spare pair to keep in the car or a desk drawer.
