We are so pleased for our Optilabs ambassador, Glenn Hunt who competed in the England Clay Shooting Team at the World Sporting Chanmpionships at the weekend. Well done Glenn!

Glenn wears our ALTO shooting frame with Vermillion lenses.

Just back from a great weeks shooting at E.J. Churchill’s, shooting the world sporting championships. Brilliant to shoot in the England team with the best shooters in the world all there. Came away with a team gold And two individual bronze medals. Happy with that although I could have shot better in places.
It’s onwards and upwards, as I change my blazer badge from 3 Lions to the GB shooting team tonight. Then it's off to Cyprus to shoot the FITASC world championships in the Great Britain team. What a life.
Many thanks to my sponsors

Our Flow frames have been a bestseller in our prescription sports glasses collection for a while now and we think we know why. Their versatile wraparound design and customisable arms and bridge, make them a great all-rounder for men and women alike. What better backdrop to showcase the Flow in action than these amazing pics sent in by our customer Gavin Baylis from www.stylealtitude.com – taken in Off Clot Gauthier Serre Chevalier, French Alps.

Important Delivery update for Northern Ireland and EU customers.

We feel incredibly sad to be stopping delivery to customers in Northern Ireland and EU countries. However, the new GPSR legislation has hoops we just aren’t able to jump through at this moment.

We will be accepting orders up until Tuesday 3rd December 2024. This gives us time to manufacture your glasses before the GPSR deadline.

We’d like to take this opportunity to express our gratitude to all our customers in Northern Ireland and the EU over the years. We hope we can find a solution soon.

We've got some great news! Our winter sale is back and this year it's bigger than ever. You can now enjoy 20% off all sports glasses until the end of the year. If you've been promising yourself a pair of our glasses, or need a second pair with different lenses, this is your chance to save some money.

The sale includes virtually all single vision, bifocal, varifocal and non prescription lenses. Plus, even our latest Luna and Alto glasses are reduced.

There are just a few small exceptions – Splash goggles, Flame sports glasses and Zips non prescription clip-ons are not included in the sale.

A few months ago we put a call out for testers for out new Luna sports glasses. We were overwhelmed with responses but one that stood out was from Alison Salthouse. She only started riding a bike aged 53 and, in 2022, became British Masters Sprint Champion in the Ladies 60-65 category. This weekend, just 7 months after back surgery, she achieved Silver in the British Masters 500TT women's 65-69 category!

Of course Alison doesn't wear her Optilabs glasses in the Velodrome but we wanted to give her a shout out as we are so pleased for her. Congratulations!

Alison also rides outdoors in mtb, gravel, road and TT so multi function glasses are invaluable. Alongside this she regularly marshalls in order to give back to her sport.

Alison chose our blue Luna with varifocal photochromic lenses.
Just reminder that our introductory offer on ALL Luna glasses ends on Saturday. Be quick if you want to order and receive £30 off.

We’ve got some great pics of our lovely winner completing the Weymouth Ironman in his new Optilabs Luna prescription sports glasses. Well done Marc! We can’t help feeling you look like you could do the Ironman all over again as you cruise across the line in the last pic! 😂

Just a reminder you’ve got less than 2 weeks to grab £30 off our new Luna glasses. You can try before you buy on all Optilabs glasses with our free home trial.

Our new stock of our Onyx frames will be in the showroom tomorrow so it's back on the website! We had this fantastic pic sent in recently by one of our lovely customers so we couldn't resist sharing it. It's definitely one of our favourites of the year.

Our newest frame, Luna, has landed on the website. Even better we are offering £30 off all orders until the 30th September.

We love Luna's oversized style and great coverage. It's one of those designs that seems to suit everyone. Luna comes in 2 colours – bright blue and a stylish grey. We've also added optional anti-mist lens vents for no extra cost.

As with all Optilabs sports glasses, Luna is available in a wide range of lenses and is suitable for all types of prescriptions – single vision, bifocal and varifocal. Our FREE try before you buy sample service is also available so you can check the fit before you order.
