.

All you need to purchase quality prescription spectacles from AusSpecs at our low low prices is your prescription.

If you have your prescription please continue and save a small fortune on our professionally made frames and lenses.

With your prescription or 'Rx form ' from your optometrist just choose your frames and fill in the blanks in the order form and we will customize your eyeglasses to your prescription .

If you do not have your prescription - "Please" - feel free to phone the last optometrist you had your eyes tested with and ask them to send (or fax) your prescription to you.

Remember, you have paid the optometrist to check your eyes and write the prescription. The
optometrist must - by law - provide you with a clear and readable copy of your prescription (Rx form).

Think of your Optometrist as the Doctor and the store in which they work as the Chemist. You do not have to use the chemist store inside the doctors surgery to fill the script.

Feel guilty about asking ? Remember that typically you will pay 5 to 10 times more through a retail outlet than through AusSpecs for the same glasses so don't get caught by slick sales talk.

Need a new prescription ?

Simply visit your optometrist for a normal checkup ..one eye test per year is covered by MediCare.

Ask for your prescription ! The fact that there is a law that ensures you must be given a copy on demand must tell you something !

NOTE : Ask them to include your pupillary distance (or PD) on your prescription (but if they do not that is not a problem... see the section below on PD).

DO NOT GET TALKED INTO BUYING THERE AND THEN.... you WILL pay through the nose !

The PD or pupillary distance is the distance between the centre of the pupils of each eye.

If you have trouble measuring this distance please get a family member to help.

You should have some fun with this one :) ; To measure your pupils remember to look straight ahead and into the distance when measuring the Far PD and focus on a book or similar at normal reading distance when measuring your Near PD. One good way is to put a mark on an old pair of glasses and then measure this distance.

The PD is important to us to ensure your glasses are aligned properly when we make them for you.

PD Far : This is the distance between the centre of your pupils when you are looking into the distance and is used (obviously) for distance glasses.

PD Near : This is the measurement between the centre of your pupils when you are looking at something that is at your normal distance for reading a book.

Multifocal Wearers : It is important to get these two measurement ( PD Far and Near (always referred to in that order)) to enable us to make your glasses accurately.

Different ways to write the same thing ;

My PD (Pupillary Distance) is marked on my script as (example) Right 31 Left 32.5 (or similar) ?

This method is sometimes used by optometrists and it is the measurement from the centre of your pupil to the centre of the bridge of your nose respectively.

My PD (Pupillary Distance) is marked on my script as just 31(example).

The same as above but the distance is 31 from the centre of your pupil to the centre of the bridge of your nose on both sides
.

Another Method is (example) 65 / 63. This the best measurement and means your PD is 65 mm for DISTANCE (Far) viewing and 63 for NEAR viewing.

Just choose a tint colour Virtually all of our lenses (except polycarbonate) can be tinted to make them into Prescription sunglasses.

There 100s of different colours to choose from in a solid (flat) tint or in a Gradient Tint

IMPORTANT NOTE TO HEALTH FUND MEMBERS - Invoice Breakdown

The mission of Australian Spectacle Wholesalers is to provide all Australians with A Grade quality glasses at a price that even financially disadvantaged citizens can afford.

You will note that the cost of the frames we sell are rated at 40% of the cost of the base model glasses with 60% being allocated to the lenses.

This reflects the true value of the frames (and the lenses) and not the over inflated fictional prices demanded by some of the brand name suppliers.

Under Australian GST legislation, GST is charged at the current rate of 10% on the frames only with no GST payable of the lenses.

To load the cost of the frames in some fictional manner so as to appease a Health Fund we would severely disadvantage those people that rely on us for there glasses but cannot afford to pay the ever increasing cost of Health Insurance.

Further to this we would have to increase the cost of the glasses just to pay the government more GST. In many cases, with strong multifocal glasses, this would increase the cost by up to $15 in GST alone.

We hope that you can see why we choose to reflect the true cost of the frames and why we have adopted, and are unwilling, to change this policy.

We are unable to offer this service. We have found over the years that this is fraught with problems and our glasses are so cheap and of such good quality that it is most times easier and better to purchase new glasses

We get many requests for special makes of different types of designer "brand" name glasses.
AusSpecs glasses are high quality designer glasses at a realistic price for all to afford.
We do not supply what we consider to be overpriced "Brand Named" glasses.

Should you have any questions at all that you would like answered please do not hesitate to contact us as we are keen to be of assistance if we can.
