IS IS SAFE TO SHOP ONLINE AT READOPTICS.COM?
Yes. We use the Secure Socket Layer (SSL) encryption method. Details can be found on our
secure online shopping page. We do recommend though that you use the latest version of your browser as some older versions may experience an error when viewing certain parts of our site. However, if you're still concerned or have difficulties, you can call our helpful Read Optics team on 0808 172 9300 for help with placing your order.
IF I REGISTER WITH YOU HOW WILL I KNOW MY DETAILS ARE SECURE AND THAT YOU WON'T PASS THEM ON TO OTHER COMPANIES?
We treat your personal information with the highest standards of security and confidentiality. We never sell or give any personal information we have about you to any other company. You can rest assured that your credit/debit card and personal information are safe with us.
WHAT IS THE 'SECURITY CODE' REFERRED TO ON THE PAYMENT PAGE?
Sometimes referred to as the CV2 number or CVV number, the Security Code is either a unique 3-digit number printed on the back of your credit/debit card or if you have an American Express card it is a 4-digit number on the front (usually top right) of your card that helps us validate your purchase and protect against fraud. Since this isn't contained in the magnetic strip information, it doesn't get printed on sales receipts, so it's difficult for anyone other than the genuine cardholder to know it.
Even if you decide to save your credit/debit card details in your account, your Security Code won't be held on file and you'll need it each time you place an order.
HOW DO I CARE FOR MY READING GLASSES?
Reading glasses can be fragile and lenses can scratch easily. The following guidelines will help you to look after your reading glasses and keep them looking good for longer.
- Clean your reading glasses with a microfibre cloth, one which has been developed for optical lenses.
- Do not use abrasive detergents or sprays.
- Always keep them in their protective case when not is use.
- Avoid putting your reading glasses face down on any surface as this may scratch the lenses.
- On a hot day avoid leaving your reading glasses on your car's dashboard as the heat can damage the lenses and distort the frame.
- Avoid wearing your reading glasses on the top of your head as this may also distort/stretch the frames. (see our cords for a better way to keep them on your person without damaging the frames).
