Glasses worth your face

TERSELLO exists because of one irritation that never went away: good glasses cost too much for reasons that had nothing to do with the glasses.

Walk into any optician and the maths is quietly strange. The frame costs tens of pounds to make. The lenses, a few more. Then the price on the shelf is many times that, because the shelf itself is expensive: the shop on the high street, the stock behind the counter, the markup stacked on the markup.

We took the other route. The frames are made from Mazzucchelli acetate and proper stainless steel. The lenses are glazed to order in a UK lab. And the price you see is the price you pay, with single-vision lenses and both coatings already in it, from £69.

The camera try-on is the part we are proudest of. Buying glasses sight-unseen is a gamble everyone has lost at least once. So you try every pair on your actual face, at true scale, before spending anything. It runs on your device, in your browser, and nothing is ever uploaded.

Ten frames at launch. Not five hundred, because nobody needs five hundred. Each one in two colourways, each one sized honestly in millimetres on its own page. If a frame is not right, the 30-day home trial takes care of it.

Designed in the UK. Glazed to order. Tersello: the sharpest point of the eye, which is where we started.
