Why join the eyebuddy revolution?
It’s simple (but genius): For a start, our prices are already considerably lower than you will find on the high-street. This is because we make massing savings:
- By not having the highly expensive costs associated with prime-retail properties, equipment, etc.
- Through negotiating the best prices from our long established supplier relationships and through bulk purchasing deals.
- Distribution efficiencies.
- By relying on word of mouth (not advertising) through the eyebuddy system. (Note: It is estimated that some of the better known high-street opticians spend over 10% of the price you pay on advertising to you. Other large online provider often pay over 20% of each transaction to its affiliates).
All these savings are passed straight to you! For the word of mouth you provide we then provide you with a personalised eyebuddy discount* which is applicable throughout the site; including on all sale items!
How your eyebuddy discount is worked out:
You receive a permanent 15% discount when you register (no membership fee). You then can invite as many buddies as you like and will receive the following further discounts (for the 5 best eyebuddies):
- For each buddy you invite, you will receive a further 1% discount. All invitees must be new and, therefore, not registered on, or already invited to, eyebuddy
- For each buddy you invited that then goes on to register on eyebuddy.co.uk, your percentage discount for that buddy changes to a 2% discount
- For each buddy you invited that then goes on to purchase from eyebuddy.co.uk (minimum £30), your percentage discount for that buddy changes to a 5% discount (their purchase must be within the last 2 years or it will revert back to 2% until they next buy and it will then go back up to 5%)
The maximum potential eyebuddy discount is currently set to a total of 40% of the eyebuddy price, which is often below cost price!
eyebuddies are automatically arranged in your favour. For example, if you invite 10 buddies, the 5 that provide you with the highest discounts will be used to calculate your discount. It is always advisable to add as many buddies as possible to ensure you always have the best possible discount in the future.
We hope you agree that this is a compelling idea which is why we are patenting it to start a revolution in how you buy eyewear.

- Your eyebuddy® price: This is the actual price you pay. It is tailored according to your personalised eyebuddy discount, which is displayed at the top right of the site at all times.
- Your potential eyebuddy® price: "This is the price you could potentially pay if all your eyebuddies buy from eyebuddy too (within the last two years).
