Why we became Spectacle manufacturer
Join our members-only eyewear club and gain exclusive access to secret, small-batch production frames.
New designs launched monthly, straight from our workshop.
Don't miss out.
At Banton Frameworks, you have the opportunity to buy prescription glasses online from one of the few spectacle manufacturers in the UK. We proudly design and make our range of glasses and sunglasses here in Scotland from our spectacle workshop in the outskirts of Glasgow.
Observing the online market, designer prescription glasses are very price-driven with little emphasis for quality and provenance. They even tend to all come from the same factories with a different label. So bare that in mind when you're next buying designer glasses online.
We focus solely on producing our own eyewear to the highest quality standards right here in the UK. We aren't the cheap glasses online option that is all too familiar on the internet, with low-cost deals and budget lenses thrown in. We want to bring you the best quality eyewear for a fair price, straight from the hands of the people who made them.
Eyewear: designed well. Made well. Here.

You’ll be glad to know that each of spectacle frames is precision-machined from thick Italian acetate; perfect for almost every prescription or thickness of single vision lens. So if your require high index (thinned lenses) we have various options for your to add to your frame.
Varifocal Glasses
Varifocal lenses are increasing in popularity and in their technology. Otherwise known as progressive lenses or multifocals, this type of lens provides a spectrum of focal power. These can be ordered using our lens menu with any of our spectacle models. These are the most advanced type of lens and arguably superior.
Reading Glasses
Tired of cheap ready readers? We’ve focussed our efforts on producing some of the finest reading glasses. Whether you require prescription reading glasses or off the shelf readers; invest in a quality pair of reading spectacles - you won’t regret it.
Bifocal Glasses
Bifocal lenses are a popular choice as a dual corrective lens. Generally, these are used to simultaneously correct close-reading and distance vision. If you prefer a bifocal lens, we can fit these to your handmade glasses in our lens lab.

This isn’t a problem as your lenses are fitted after you’ve tried our glasses on for size. In your own time, get in touch with your optometrist to obtain your prescription details.

The prescription for your glasses is a universal document. You can take it with you anywhere and it can be interpreted and used to ensure the correct prescription lenses are fitted to your glasses. You can enter your details before or after you order your spectacles online at Banton Frameworks using our lens menu.
