The Glasses Basket

Open a Trade Lens Account

Opticians, optical practices and eyewear retailers can open a partner account with The Glasses Basket to access wholesale lens glazing and frames. The process is straightforward: complete a short partner application with your business details, and the team verifies your registration. Approval is typically completed within 24 hours, often within 4–6 hours, after which wholesale pricing and the full glazing price list become visible immediately. Once approved, you can order glazing only, frames only, or a full frame-plus-glazing package, entering the prescription per eye and any special instructions. Every order is glazed in a UK lab and dispatched within 24–48 hours, tracked in real time through your partner dashboard, with VAT invoices and job sheets generated automatically. Single-vision reglazes start from £19 and varifocals from £49, coatings included. The portal is partner-only and not for public use. To apply, visit lenses.theglassesbasket.com and request partner access.
