Shipping, changes and returns
How long will it take to receive my order?
The delivery time of the orders depends on your graduation and the type of lens chosen. The greater the complexity, the more time our optical team will need to be able to carry out your new GreyHounders.
Usually, the deliveries of glasses with single prescription are made in 7-10 calendar days from when we confirm receipt of the prescription; except in the Canary Islands and Ceuta or Melilla where the delivery time is longer due to customs and administrative procedures. Delivery can be extended to 10-15 calendar days.
In glasses with progressive lenses or with more complex filters such as photochromic lenses; The delivery time can be extended by around 4 - 5 days more than what is established in the previous paragraph.
Non-prescription glasses take less time to ship and arrive around 5-7 calendar days after the order is placed.
In orders where a glasses must be collected in advance, the delivery time is lengthened due to the procedures prior to carrying out.
It is important to take into account that, in promotional periods and due to high demand, orders may experience occasional delays in delivery, not meeting the deadlines established above.
As the shipping cost?
In the Peninsula and the Balearic Islands, when completing the order and filling in the "Shipping" option with the delivery address, shipping costs will be automatically added to the order if applicable. All orders over 40 € (after the application of discounts or offers) have free shipping costs.
For orders under €40, the shipping cost is €1.95 in the Peninsula and the Balearic Islands. We also ship to the Canary Islands, Ceuta and Melilla. The shipping cost to these places is €10.
We also ship to the rest of Europe, as well as to other countries in the world. Shipping costs depend on the country of destination and are added automatically when finalizing the order and entering the delivery address.

You can pick up your order at any of our stores (in the optical section) for free. This service ensures you can pick up the order at the time you want. In order to use this service, you only have to select the option “Withdrawal” in the “Shipping method” section in the purchase process.

Guarantees, invoices and customer service
Do my new GreyHounders have any kind of warranty?
All GreyHounders come with a two (2) year warranty against manufacturing defects. This guarantee is extended in Spain to three years for products purchased from January 1, 2022.
If you have problems with a product, please bring it to the physical optician más or contact us at hello@greyhounders.com or through our whatsapp where our team will be happy to help you find a solution.
Without a doubt, each case is different, but we usually follow a general guide for frames and lenses that were damaged during the three-year warranty.
The following cases in which the glasses, frames or lenses are not covered by the warranty:
- They have been damaged deliberately or due to negligence
- They have been used improperly or carelessly
- They show deterioration from normal use
- They were damaged when cleaning them without following the recommended care guide
- They suffer damage caused by improper use, lack of care or accidents (broken temples, frames or lenses)
- Aesthetic changes due to daily use (lack of shine, scratches, disappearance of the text on the temples, etc.)
We always recommend that you contact us so that the team quality can assess the particular case and see if the guarantee applies to it.
The cost of shipping the frame to the store is borne by the customer. If the glasses fall under warranty, the shipping costs are free for the customer; while if it is not covered by the guarantee, the derived expenses must be covered by the client.
In the event that the product is no longer in stock, the customer may choose another product of the same amount.
How can I request an invoice for my purchase?
You can request the invoice of your purchase by writing us an email to hello@greyhounders.com indicating all the billing information (Name, surname, address and ID), as well as the specificities that you need in particular, if applicable.
Invoices are sent in the middle and at the end of each month, so if it takes a couple of weeks, don't worry, that's normal. Our invoices are digital and are sent via email. In no case do we send them through postal mail or deliver them to the store.
Does my private insurance cover the purchase of my new glasses?
It may be so. There are private health insurances where you can opt for a percentage of help, reimbursement or even public aid for the purchase of your prescription glasses. This completely depends on the insurance, policy or help you want to apply for. From GreyHounders we will provide you with the invoice with the information you need for it.

Contact lenses
This is my first time wearing contact lenses, how do I know which ones to wear?
If you have never used contact lenses, we recommend that you go to a physical optician where you can be evaluated and correctly adapted to them. At the moment, in our opticians we cannot carry out this adaptation. In addition, at GreyHounders we do not recommend that you buy contact lenses online if you have never been a user of them.
Can I buy contact lenses in your physical stores?
At the moment we only sell contact lenses in our online store. You can go to one of our physical stores to ask for advice if you wish and, very importantly, if you are already a regular contact lens user. But the purchase of the same must be done through our website .
Can I buy trial lenses?
If you are already a regular contact lens user, you can purchase trial lenses at our physical opticians where they will advise you on the type of lens you need based on your visual defect.
Does the graduation of my glasses help me to buy contact lenses?
No. It is important that you know your ophthalmological or optometric graduation (for glasses) on the one hand and, on the other, your contactological graduation (for contact lenses). There may be cases where the strength matches, but since this is not always the case, it is best to know both strengths for each product.
What kind of maintenance do contact lenses need?
For monthly disposable lenses we recommend using a certified unique solution such as our unique Hidro Health solution.
Such unique solutions are sold in large version to have at home (360ml) and in a travel version (60ml). Thus, the daily cleaning of the lenses becomes much easier. Never use water to clean your contact lenses as it can contain bacteria and can cause a serious visual problem.
We also recommend the use of moisturizing drops with the use of contact lenses, since the eye may suffer from dryness and need an extra. Our Comfort Drops offer you that extra hydration you need.
It is recommended to change the contact lens case every 2 or 3 months; or each time a new pot of single solution is opened.
How should I wash my contact lenses?
As we mentioned, you should clean your lenses with Solución Única, never with water.
To clean them (before and after use) we recommend that you follow these steps:
1. Hand washing with neutral soap and water to avoid direct contact of bacteria with our eyes.
2. Whether you are going to insert or remove your lenses, squirt a little of the single solution into the palm of your hand and gently dip the lens into the solution.
3. Keeping the lens in the Unique Solution, proceed to clean it very gently and delicately, making small circles on the lens.
4. If you are going to put them on, proceed to take the lens and throw away the rest of the solution that remains in your hand. If, on the other hand, you are removing it, pour Unique Solution into the case and put the lens inside after cleaning.
Repeat the process from point 2 with the other lens.
It is important that you always keep your contact lenses clean in the case; that is, with the Unique Solution just poured into the container and having thrown away the used Unique Solution after putting in the lenses.
How often should I change my contact lenses?
The frequency of changing contact lenses will depend on the type of disposable contact lenses you have purchased on our website:
MyDay or MyDay Toric daily contact lenses: they are “” contact lenses to use and throw away”. That is, they must be changed daily. One of its benefits is the comfort of use, since you wear contact lenses every day and, in addition, you do not have to be aware of their daily cleaning.
Biofinity, Biofinity Toric or Biofinity Toric XR monthly lenses: they are monthly disposable lenses. That is, the change must be made every month of use of the same. You can buy packs of 3 months, 6 months or 12 months. They are very comfortable to use and specific lenses for slightly more special prescriptions. If you wear contact lenses daily, we recommend this type of contact lens.
Do you sell astigmatism or toric contact lenses at GreyHounders?
Yes. At GreyHounders we have the following models of contact lenses for people with astigmatism. It is important that you know if you have astigmatism in your contact lens, since this is not always the case despite having it in your glasses:
MyDay Toric daily contact lenses: they are daily contact lenses that, in addition, include astigmatism up to -2.25 diopters. Recommended for people who use contact lenses occasionally.
Biofinity Toric monthly lenses: they are the monthly version of the previous lenses. When astigmatism is included in the lens, up to -2.25 diopters, this is the recommended lens. If you wear contact lenses on a daily basis, this is the model that will suit you best.
Biofinity Toric XR monthly contact lenses: these are manufacturing lenses recommended for high astigmatism. In these cases, this contact lens is recommended for people with an astigmatism of up to -5.75 diopters of astigmatism.

Lenses, quality and treatments

Of course! The blue filter treatment can be added to any of our lenses for €25 more in monofocals or €50 in progressives. On the other hand, it could be applied exclusively by changing the lenses of your current prescription glasses.
And if I don't wear glasses, can I use the blue filter glasses?
Without a doubt. Click on the following link to discover all our models of non-prescription computer glasses.
When are photochromic glasses recommended?
Are your eyes sensitive to light? Does glare bother you? Photochromic lenses have been designed to avoid all the discomfort that excess light causes and thus reduce the risk of developing cataracts.
In addition, with photochromic lenses it will not be necessary to change glasses every time you enter or leave closed spaces.
How should I clean my glasses?
We recommend using the GreyHounders chamois that we supply you with the glasses to remove grease and dirt that the lens may have. As usual, be careful not to scratch the lens with small specks of dust or sand. If you need to clean the lens more intensively, we recommend using neutral soap and water.
Try our glasses
How can I try your glasses?
At GreyHounders we offer several options so you can try on the frame before ordering your new prescription glasses.
Go to our physical opticians: all our products are available in our physical opticians. Therefore, if you have seen the web first and want to try on a particular model, you can go to any of our stores and do so without obligation. In addition, we give you the visual exam, so you can take advantage to graduate and leave there with your new ordered GreyHounders.
If you are going to have a visual exam, we recommend that you make an appointment in advance to ensure the time of our optical team. You can do it by clicking here.
Try it on at home: we understand that glasses are a product that we like to try before buying ; This is how the Test at Home service was born. It is a service whose only cost is shipping (€1.95). It is exclusive in the Iberian Peninsula.
You can add up to 5 frames to your cart that will be delivered directly to your home for €1 each. When you return the Home Test, your money will be refunded (excluding shipping). You can get more information on our website.
Virtual Fitting Room: we have a Virtual Fitting Room on our website where you can try on our glasses virtually. How is that? On each model, there is a "Try Online" button that will request access to your camera so you can try on the glasses from anywhere. The virtual glasses fitting room has technology that captures your face and interacts with your movement. Trying glasses online is something we would never have thought of, but with our revolutionary glasses simulator, you will not remain indifferent. We leave you more information here.
Remember that you have free changes and returns in the first 15 calendar days after receiving or collecting your glasses.
How does the Test at Home service work?
The Test at Home is a service that works on bail. What does this mean? We withhold €1 for each frame you choose from Home Test as a deposit. And we only charge shipping costs (€1.95). It is an exclusive service on the Peninsula.
Once you receive your Test at Home, you can try on the frames for 3 days and we will send you an email to manage the collection and, thus, return the frames to the store.
In this way, upon return from the Home Test (as long as it is complete and the frames are in good condition), the money paid as a deposit will be refunded. Shipping costs will not be refunded.
It does not entail any purchase commitment, but surely when trying on your GreyHounders, it will be difficult for you to choose only one. You have all the models available to try at home here.
Can I try your sunglasses at home?
No, for the moment, the Try-on-Home service is only active for most models of prescription glasses.
glass change
Can I change my glasses at GreyHounders even if the frame is not yours?
Of course! At GreyHounders we offer a lens change service for all types of frames. Some of them, such as slotted or open mounts, have an extra cost on top of the final price of the change for mounting.
It is not something very common, but it is important that you know that GreyHounders is not responsible for the possible breakage of the frame that can occur in the assembly or manipulation of the glasses. It is the customer's responsibility to accept such risk.
How much does it cost me to change the lenses of my frame?
The price of changing lenses will depend on the type of lens, frame and filter that the lens has. Therefore, we always recommend that you send us photographs of the frame, as well as your optometric prescription and the type of lens you are looking for: photochromic, with a blue filter, progressive, etc.
You can have a change of lenses from €20 for acetate frames and graduations of up to 3.50 diopters in total, and without filters applied to the lens. In the case of more complex frames that need assembly, they will have an extra supplement depending on the frame.
On the other hand, from €90 you can change the lenses of your progressive glasses while maintaining your frame. As we explained above, prices may vary depending on the filter, type of lens, and even frame.
We recommend that you contact us at hello@greyhounders.com or WhatsApp on the phone 722 34 05 05 so that we can give you a Budget adjusted to your needs.
