Best place to get cheap glasses

[whitefluffytrainers93]

I'm looking for some new glasses. Somewhere I can order frames to try on online and order with existing prescription. I'm not interested in labels but would love some fashionable looking frames!

All recommendations welcome

Any online stores will send you pairs to try on. If you look on the arms of existing glasses it gives you the size - long number is the arm length short number is the nose bridge and the other is the dimension of the glass corner to corner.

Glassesdirect, been using them about 20 years.

Zeelool - haven't used them myself but been recommended by trusted friend and they have funky frames.

We get a lot from glassesdirect, always been good.

one to avoid is misterspex. They have a find range but are based in Germany. Whilst this isn’t an issue if nothing goes wrong it’s a nightmare if it does.
my £200 4mth old glasses broke (arm came away) I spine to them, I had to return them, however everything you send them has to go through customs, they said it will take about 3 weeks before they even receive them. They would then fix it replace and then return, so I’d have been without them for 5-6 weeks.
tried getting a local optician to fix, but no they use a specific size pin that isn’t available in the UK.
luckily I had a spare pair (from glasses direct)
i sent them back. After 4 weeks they admitted they had lost them and couldn’t replace as the frames were out of stock until August!
