Eye Tests
Eye Test & Contact Lenses

Who can get their eyes tested? We offer eye tests and contact lens tests in both stores. Children's eye tests are available in our Notting Hill store, where we also have a dedicated children's eyewear section. You can book online here or call us on 0203 475 4890 if you wish to discuss further.What is the cost and length of an Eye Test?Adult eye tests are £50Children's eye tests are £60For adult eye tests please allow up to 40 minutes for an eye test. If you have a time constraint, please let the optometrist know on the day.For children's eye tests please contact our Notting Hill store at 0203 475 4890 for further details. How much is a Contact Lens test?If you have never worn lenses before or haven’t worn lenses in a long time and need a refresher on inserting and removing them, the Contact Lens Assessment and Teach is £50. If you currently have contact lenses and want to have the prescription updated, you can book a Contact Lens Check appointment for £50.You will need an up-to-date Sight Test (within the past 6 months) to have either of these appointments. If you do not have an up-to-date prescription please book in for a Combination Sight Test and Contact Lens Appointment for £85.How often should I have my eyes tested?It is suggested that you should have your eyes tested every two years, even if you feel that you are not aware of any problems. It might be suggested by your optometrist that you have your eyes tested more frequently if you: have diabetes, are aged 40 or over and have a family history of glaucoma, are aged 70 or over, are a child wearing glasses.

Booking & Appointment Types

Do I need to book in advance?Occasionally there might be an appointment available on the day, but it’s best to check availability in advance and book online.How do I know what type of appointment to book?We offer several types of comprehensive assessments, in a relaxed atmosphere using industry-leading equipment. Head over to our booking page here to get a full breakdown and descriptions of the different appointments we offer.Will I need more than one appointment to get contact lenses?The amount of appointments you will need varies person to person, it can be just one if you are a current contact lens wearer with a stable prescription, but this can range to 4+ appointments if we need to try a new or different lens and start a new trial period.To get an idea of how many you will need, take a look at our ‘I have never worn contact Lenses before’ or ‘I already wear Contact Lenses’ FAQs and have a read of the one that best describes you.

First-Time Wearers & Appointment Preparation

Do I need to do anything before my sight test?If applicable, please bring your current glasses or contact lenses and take a note of any prescription medication that you are taking. It is also worth thinking about whether you’ve noticed a change with your eyes recently.Do I need an eye test if I've been for a contact lens check-up?Yes - contact lens check-ups look at the front surface of the eye and don’t measure the health of the inner and outer parts of your eye, so it’s worth booking in for a regular eye test too.I have never worn contact lenses before. What can I expect?There are a few steps we must go through before we are able to issue a contact lens prescription, but we promise it is worth it! In order to start the process you must have an up-to-date sight test prescription (from us or elsewhere), if you don’t then book in for a Combination Sight Test + Contact Lens Assessment and Teach (£75). Our optometrist will be able to order Trial contact lenses for you based on your spectacle prescription. Once we have the trials for your specific prescription, they will assess the vision and fit of the trial lenses and teach you how to safely put them in and take them out. Don’t worry if you can’t get it on the first try, we are happy to have you come in for a couple of Teach Appointments until you are absolutely confident to be able to do this by yourself. Once our optometrist has decided on some lenses for you, and you are able to take them in and out comfortably, you get to take a few pairs home with you to see how you like them in everyday life. To finalize your prescription we will see you for an End of Trial appointment where you discuss with the optometrist how you got on with the lenses and we have one final check to make sure that we are happy with the fit. Make sure you keep a pair of trial lenses aside for this appointment as you must come to the appointment wearing the lenses, and have had them in at least 2 hours prior to allow the lenses to settle.Do I need to do anything before my contact lens appointment?Please bring along your most recent Spectacles prescription and if you already wear contact lenses, either your most recent Contact Lens Prescription or Lens packaging.For Contact Lens Checks and End of Trial appointments, you must arrive wearing your contact lenses, having put them in at least 2 hours before to allow the lenses to settle. Please bring a backup set of lenses, or case and solution to put your lenses in as you may be required to remove them during your appointment.

Prescriptions, Using Your Results & Eligibility

I have an eye test from another optometrist practice – can I use this prescription when buying frames from FINLAY?Yes - as long as your eye test was within the last two years and your prescription has been signed by the testing optometrist, we can use this when creating your new frames.Is a contact lens prescription different from a spectacle prescription?Yes, Contact Lenses sit directly on your cornea, whereas your glasses sit in front of your eyes. Depending on your prescription and the shape of your eye, your Contact Lens Prescription can differ slightly from your Spectacle Prescription and require additional information.I already wear contact lenses, but my prescription has expired. What should I do?If you currently have contact lenses and want to make sure they still work for you, if you’ve had a sight test in the past 6 months you can book a Contact Lens Check appointment for £35. Please come to the appointment wearing your lenses and have them in at least 2 hours prior to your appointment. Please bring your spectacle prescription along with your contact lens prescription or contact lens packaging. If you do not have an up-to-date spectacle prescription, book in for a Combination Sight Test + Contact Lens Check (£60)  and we can update your spectacle prescription and check your current contact lenses at the same time. Please bring your most recent spectacles and your contact lens prescription.

Products & Shopping Experience

Will my sunglasses look identical to those in the picture?The image that you see on the website should be a very fair representation of what your frames will look like. However, the beauty of many of the acetates that we use, like our tortoiseshells, mean that every pair is unique. Therefore there might be slight variances in the grain or colour of your frames.How do I use Virtual Try-on or our Style Guide to see if frames fit my face shape?You can access our style guide here to help you choose the perfect frame for your face shape. If you still aren’t sure, rest assured we offer free shipping and returns on all online orders (without personalisation)Virtual Try On feature is available on the majority of our frames pages. What if I have ordered one product that is in stock and one that is on pre-order?Our standard approach will be to hold all items until everything is in stock. This is due to the fact that often multiple item sales are due to customers wishing to compare colours or styles, or alternatively the sale contains an accessory. If you wish to have certain items shipped prior to your pre-order item coming back into stock then please email care@finlayandco.com who will be happy to assist.

Your Diagnosis

Before revealing the machine’s verdict, predict the BS score for each signal. Higher = more BS (more fluff, less verifiable substance). Drag each slider, then submit to compare your judgment against the engine.

Information Density 0 / 30
Read the Narrative & headings: do hard facts (prices, dates, numbers) outweigh fluff power-words?
Semantic Coherence 0 / 20
Compare the homepage promise against the sub-page reality. Do they hold the same line?
Trust & Proof 0 / 20
Weigh review mentions against actual external proof links. Claims without verification = theatre.
Commodity Fingerprint 0 / 15
Check headings & narrative against the industry clichés in the setup above.
Identity & Authority 0 / 15
Inspect the schema: is there real Organization/Person identity with sameAs links, or gaps?

💡 Stuck? Reveal the heuristic lens — how the deterministic page-auditor reads each signal (no AI, pure pattern rules)

These are the structural rules a local, deterministic auditor applies — the same lens you can use to judge each signal. They describe what to look for, not this company’s result.

Information Density

Classify each sentence as substantive or hollow. Grounding markers — numbers, currencies, dates, technical units, named entities — outweigh marketing adjectives. When fluff sits right next to hard evidence, the fluff is forgiven.

Semantic Alignment

Pull the main entities out of the H1, then check whether they actually recur through the body. A page that announces one thing and then talks about another drifts. Headings with no real sentences underneath read as pseudo-substance.

Trust & Proof

Count trust words (review, testimonial, rating, verified) against real outbound proof links (Google, Trustpilot, Clutch, G2, Yelp). Lots of trust language with zero verification links is trust theatre. Unlinked logo galleries count against it.

Commodity Fingerprint

Look at how much sentence length varies. Natural writing varies its rhythm; templated or mass-produced copy is statistically uniform. Very low variation reads as commodity content — unless unique named entities break the pattern.

Identity & Authority

Inspect the JSON-LD. Is there an Organization or Person schema, and does it carry sameAs links to real external profiles (LinkedIn, socials)? Missing schema or no identity declaration signals an anonymous entity.

Want to apply this lens yourself? The free BS Indicator Chrome extension runs these heuristic checks live on any page. Bear in mind it is a single-page, deterministic tool — it relies only on pattern rules for the page in front of it and does not perform the cross-page semantic correlation this audit uses, so its readout is a starting lens, not the full verdict.

Fashion, Apparel & Accessories BS: FINLAY (finlayandco.com)

https://finlayandco.com 📍 Industry: Fashion, Apparel & Accessories
30 BS / 100

FINLAY is a high-substance retail entity undermined by poor technical authority markers. While the product claims are technically specific and refreshingly devoid of ‘disruptive’ jargon, the total absence of Schema and named expert profiles creates a validation vacuum. It is a real business with a real product that simply hasn’t bothered to prove its authority to search engines or forensic auditors.

1. Implement comprehensive Organization and LocalBusiness JSON-LD schema to fix the null technical identity gap. 2. Create an ‘Our Makers’ page that names the specific Italian region or factory to move ‘handmade’ from a cliché to a verifiable proof point. 3. Integrate a third-party review aggregator (Trustpilot/Yotpo) to validate the currently low and unverified-looking review counts. 4. Define ‘small batches’ with specific production numbers in the FAQ to substantiate the exclusivity claim.

The website perfectly aligns with the Fashion, Apparel & Accessories industry, specifically the high-end eyewear niche. Content confirms a boutique retail model with physical store locations in London (Notting Hill, Soho) and a focus on artisan manufacturing.

“The BS score of 30 is driven primarily by the technical 'Identity and Authority' gap (10/15) and standard 'Commodity Fingerprint' template use (7/15). It achieves a low overall score because its 'Information Density' and 'Semantic Coherence' are exceptionally high for the fashion industry, favoring technical specifications over lifestyle fluff.”
