Can I pay for glasses at the optician when I collect them? Or not?

[SneakyGremlins]

Glasses broke this morning so I've got an eye test later where I'll get a new prescription I'd imagine, and new glasses - but I don't get any money until Wednesday. Will I have to pay today, or can I pay when I come to collect my glasses? It's Specsavers if that's any help.

I always have to pay on the day. You can take your script hone and go back to choose on Wednesday though.

My husband got new glasses from specsavers a few weeks ago and had to pay half when they were ordered and the other half on collection.

Whenever I’ve ordered glasses at Specsavers, I’ve had to pay when I’ve ordered them.

Are your current glasses repairable? My optician does minor repairs if I need them - I've had arms reattached, screws replaced and lenses put back (not all mine - I'm not that clumsy )

Argh! Okay, thanks everyone. Will borrow the money from a friend and pay her back Wednesday.

I’ve always had to pay at least half the cost of the glasses when ordering a new pair.

One week out of warranty

Boots do repairs free regardless of warranty. I've worn glasses for over forty years and never even been aware of any warranty. Ask if they can be repaired, even if you have to pay for that it will be less than a new pair.

I'm due for a new prescription anyway - it's been over a year since my last test! It's sorted now

I usually only get an eye test every two years, I wouldn't think I was overdue after a year.
